About Strive

Unique, competitive gameplay



In Strive you will have to collect several materials, craft your own items, face wild creatures, run from or eliminate human foes and all of this together if you want to win. The rule is simple: the best strategy gets the worm.

2 ways to win



Either you survive (and kill) to be the last player alive or ignore everyone and go straight to the Emperium, the core of the game, to break it--both ways will lead you to victory. Regardless of the path you take, don't forget to always watch your back because other players will be pursuing the first place as much as you.

Quick matches or long matches: the best strategy will decide



From 10 minutes to 10 hours, there is no time limit for a match. The game is designed to be fast-paced, no limits are set--the match only stops once one of the two victory rules are satisfied.

Compete against 5 to 10 players



With an integrated matchmaking system, you'll be able to play matches from 5 to 10 players to see who's best.

A huge items diversity



With 30+ craftable items and no shops where you buy or sell gear, you have to face level creatures and collect their materials to craft the items you think are best suited for the match and character you're playing.

Easy to get into



Strive requires less than 8 matches to understand everything that is going on. After that, all you have to think about is the best strategy to win the game.

Gloriously strategic



Strive is deeply strategic - with immense possibilities of the crafting system and two paths to victory, you will have to carefully consider your options. Your foes are likely to always do something unexpected.

PvP or PvE win the game



You read it right--a match can be perfectly won without requiring you to kill other player-controlled characters or other player-controlled characters to be killed. If you're not in the mood to PvP, alright--focus on the Emperium and the victory may be even more rewarding.

Really good game from Guilty Gear series. The only thing I didn't like is the genre. I thought that Strive is going to be a fighting game and this is just... not a fighting game. I actually don't understand why the game is free cause such releases usually cost so much... Maybe some dlc-s are going to make the game as expensive as I thought it would be. Pros: - Free - Good graphics - Awesome soundtrack from Daisuke Ishiwatari - Millia's legs Cons: - The servers are a bit long to connect - Elphelt Valentine is in the game - Potemkin

[quote][b]Note: Dead PvP game[/b] This game contains no meaningful single player content. There's no viably populated servers/active player population. This game cannot be played as intended.[/quote] This was an attempt to make a PvP hybrid battle royale/MOBA, and it failed dismally. The low quality low poly Steampunk Western(?) assets and overall poor visuals didn't help to appeal to players. Where you fight the Imperium (except the developer calls it the Emperium because they apparently can't spell). So, "Strive" is a dead PvP game. Why did it fail? It's video game autopsy time! [i]Almost every PvP exclusive game on Steam fails.[/i] Only a tiny proportion of them "go viral". This game failed for many of the same reasons those others fail. The chief of which is the developer thinking that their game will "go viral" without actually creating any reason for it do so. PvP games face extreme competition, PvP gamers have plenty to choose from and they gravitate to where all the other players are. This game didn't offer anything to peel those PvPers away from the PvP games they're already invested in. It had no upfront cost, but gamers still rejected it. This game lacks any m…

Игра "Strive" — это увлекательный симулятор управления проектом с элементами стратегии. Геймплей требует планирования, распределения ресурсов и решения кризисов, что делает его захватывающим для любителей стратегических задач. Графика простая, но стильная, а саундтрек добавляет атмосферы. Однако механики могут показаться сложными для новичков, а повторяемость ограничена. Хороший выбор для тех, кто ценит логику и стратегическое мышление.
