I really enjoyed the game and didn't experience any noticeable bugs . The game was a little confusing as first due to no tutorial but it become quite self explanatory pretty quickly. Combat felt great and the build mechanics were good enough. The upgrades were mostly interesting and added to the games playability. I liked the levelling system and the in-menu skill point system too begun to make the game feel a lot easier. I wonder if people randomly dying were dying of hunger or something and didn't realise?! Overall, I've played many early access games with way less content and replayability and I thought this game was just a really great mash-up of some very popular genres and played well. Maybe multiplayer or COOP would improve it further. I'm going to have to recommend this one as the game was just enjoyable and fun!3 found this helpful
The video looks cool in the store, you just wont get chance to get there :) Lets just say: its TOO EARLY ACCESS, tried to survive 5 times but failed, 3 times because i bugged in to the base just because walking by, and cant move and cant make any interaction, one time because out of ammo and the chest drop just fell down of the cliff, one time because i just wanted to build my third building and there ALREADY wasn't any resources, so i needed to go further, but the gas come and died. 1: lack of resources 2: no guide 3: many bug 4: only hardcore mode with perma death which its impossible to play in this state. 5: nice graphics 6: nice ideas. i wont start a refund even i played less than a hour, as my support to the solo developer. looking forward to try it again around a month later.3 found this helpful
Review at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VDU0XUEG_g&t=21s I wish there was a neutral setting for recommending this game. This is a good game that needs some tweaks I believe. The biggest part is trying to figure out what to do as there is no tutorial or explanation. I do like the concept of perma death and learning from your mistakes to do even better next game.2 found this helpful
I've played around 2 hours of Earth Defender and i'm really enjoying what I've seen so far. It can be a little confusing initially as you're not really given anything in the way of a tutorial, but after a few runs it starts to click and the blend of twin stick shooter and survival gameplay feels like a fresh and genuinely unique take. As an Early Access game, Earth Defender feels alot more complete than alot of other Early Access games, and im excited to see what additional features are added into the game as development progresses. I'd like to see more guns and powerups, maybe even different playable protagonists that each have different perks. But in all a very promising title that ill be keeping my eye on.1 found this helpful
I like the graphics but the movement is idiotic. Keep dying because cant control movement. Only uses Qwerty keys so very imprecise in attacking enemies. Please develop mouse enabled movement to attack target by clicking on target or something other than how it is now.
The premise is good, 2hour+ survival is more playing like a tower defence. I do hope it gets more added to it as time goes on as of right now its too simple and easy to really be called anything but a chilled slow paced surv/towerdef
