About SUR5

"Conspiracy stories about phyto-hormone drugs distributed by the Mayor Lindr are only a tip of the ultimate iceberg of a never ending war that traces back to the ancient Summerian civilization in the Middle East..."

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile-tier game![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] [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] "SUR5" (surfive, survive, geddit) looks exactly like one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. While I couldn't find this on the app stores, for all intents and purposes this is a mobile app... it has all the same qualities, from the mobile app tier graphics to the shallow gameplay you expect from mobile app cash harvesters. We can't say why this wasn't accepted on the mobile app stores, maybe it's because Google and Apple have QA departments, and Valve has "Steam Direct". Amazingly this mobile-app-in-exile never made it to Google Play or the Apple App Store, but the developers intended …

I've played tens of thousands of hours of various card games and DCGs. SUR5 caught my attention through discovery queue. +Free +Decent in-game audio (trailer distorts in the end though...) -The waste mechanic = cards generate a "mana" that's required to gain certain effects -> everything feels to RNG-infested -Amateurish feel & unpolished -Slow pace; everything takes time pointlessly -> feels like a chore to play -Generally feels boring to play; hard to put finger on why exactly but suppose it's combination of all of the above I do suggest for example Ascension in case you're looking for a solid "deck builder". = Disappointment = I could not find the fun for above reasons = I wouldn't recommend the game for myself. ............................................________........................ ....................................,.-‘”...................``~.,.................. .............................,.-”...................................“-.,............ .........................,/...............................................”:,........ .....................,?......................................................\,..... .................../.................................…

I didn't have a fun time in my match. the game goes far to slow which wouldn't be a problem if there wasn't the radiation at round 20 which puts a timer on the match. and when the game is built on building on your deck I don't see I'm supposed to do that when the game puts a timer on me. Plus all the good cards cost way to much power for me to actually get or required me to get rid of cards I didn't want to. there are better cards for free that you can play with friends. and my first match took me 4 minutes to get into meaning that not many people play this game.

Great possibilites for building your deck, a lot of synergies/combos. New survivor (basiacally like mini set of new cards) every month. Everything essential can be bought with in-game currency, and you don't need ton of time gathering it.

SUR5 approaches the digital card-game genre with a combination of strategic deckbuilding, turn-based battles, online competition, and an unusually eccentric science-fiction setting. Developed and published by INDID, it is a free-to-play title that places considerable emphasis on experimentation rather than simply handing players a predetermined strategy. Its presentation may initially seem unusual, but underneath the strange themes is a card game built around constructing decks, discovering combinations, and adapting tactics according to the opponent and situation. Deck construction forms the foundation of the experience. Players assemble cards into a strategy and then discover through actual matches whether their ideas function as intended. Individual cards matter, but understanding how different effects complement one another is considerably more important. A deck containing individually powerful cards can still perform poorly when it lacks consistency, while a carefully constructed collection can create combinations that become increasingly effective as a match develops. This experimentation gives SUR5 much of its replay value because losing a battle can become an opportunity t…

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
