First review - This is one game I actually got mad at when they closed the beta/demo. I was just finished upgrading my stuff after a great run. And it kicked us out. I was so damn salty all day yesterday. So here I am day one within the first 30 minutes grinding my life away.

"ALWAYS ONLINE" when the developer has history of abandoning his games and shutting down servers... lol why is it always online when I want to play solo? Oh yeah thats right, because you already planning to shut down server in 6 months maybe 1 year if players are lucky and then come back in 2027 with 100% copy paste "new game" to scam people again. You also promised free deadzone rogue game to people who purchased your previous game you abandon and shit down servers in 2023 and as far as I am aware, noone has receieved a free copy of the game! I had over 30 hours in demo version, because I loved it. I do love the game. always online - gtfo history of abandoning games immeditely and shutting down servers - gtfo I will play it if you send me free copy of your game.

I was a former player of Starseige Deadzone which was their previous extraction shooter, I was excited to play and enjoy that game but there was constantly bad decisions on the devs part (and the community pressuring the devs to change things both are at fault for this) which drove the games playerbase into the dirt. They took alot of backer money from the previous game and fueled it into another game that just failed and this is basically a low effort asset flip of the previous game, various areas are reused from Starsiege same for enemies. I'm not recommending this game currently until the devs show they can put time and love into the game and not try to get another easy cash grab from being in Early Access, This is not a review bomb this is a literal warning to be wary of these developers, if you wanna play this make sure to get it on a sale do not pay full price. NOW For what I've seen gameplay wise, the bones are here for a good game. First Section of the game (the Who Am I) Stage is actually hard and challenging with good enemies and variations HOWEVER after that the game trickles into low effort brain dead combat, one section is just a straight up forced close combat only level where you can literally just melee to victory cause all the enemies just run up to you to die. 3rd part of Act 1 acts like it'll be solely sniper rifles and long range battles but is a weak copy paste of the first mission, I'm still going through it but after the Who am I quest the game hard stops being fun and ends up being so easy I got bored. (was playing at the hardest difficulty as well which basically just has the enemies do a bit more damage, no variations to enemies or AI upgrades just more damage so it looks artifically harder). Like I said though will change this review if the devs actually flesh this out into a proper game, and don't bother responding to this review devs, you've alienated your playerbase quite a bit already take the honest review of both the game and company at this moment in silence.

Good game at a good price, but can be frustrating with bugs and QoL. Recommendations: Add a reconnect feature Add an unstuck feature Add a stat summary section in inventory screen (crit %, elemental proc %, etc.)

While the game does play well and was a bit of fun. I ended up being Zone 1 in just over a hour(there's 3 zones) it makes me question how much you can really get out of the game. My other major concern is the history of the developer abandoning previous titles. Mainly Tribes 3 which released in EA in April of 2024 and has not had a update since June of 2024. Not a fan of companies who don't finish previous titles. Refunded for the time being until the developer proves they are going to fully release the game. Be cautious if you plan to buy this.

the devs scam people played it so i can warn yall they made star siege deadzone i bought the founders edition for 100 bucks they then pulled a rugpull and took all the backers money to make tribes 3 which failed and now they asset flipped the old games assest into this dont pay them anything

Hard Mode. It's good. I'm challenged. Solid gun play. I came several times.

It seems like a good and enjoyable FPS Rouge on the surface but a few design choices and technical issues were enough for me to be done with the game. Pros:

• Rogue
• Kinda like Borderlands but without Randy Pitchford gas lighting everyone
• Friends can play with you
• The MC sounds like a very confused and depressed Duke Nukem

Cons:

• Short
• Not a lot of depth
• Mouse sensitivity mainly X axis is very sensitive

The game calling itself fast paced is like me calling my Nan fast paced when she falls down the stairs, I had assumed it would pick up the pace as the game went on but it never did. But do you know what did seem to increase? That horrible looking Neon ARK: Survival Evolved Tek Tier neon lights on everything UE slop and the the bosses becoming standard enemies. I have a play time of 55 minutes and in that time i managed to change settings, Try to figure out why my mouses X axis is way more sensitive, lock frame rate, Die once, restart, the game then hard locks me after clearing a room, restart, get to like round 16, hard lock again but this time i could hear the enemies but couldn't see them, Restart, Finish a run completely and then end up back at the hub to do upgrades. I personally do not want to go back to a hub world to do progressive upgrades at the end of a loop, you have at the end of every level a section to upgrade your weapons just use that for these progressive upgrades. Understand Early Access things will change, and I will come back once it leaves Early Access and is more than likely heavily discounted. I still recommend that you give it a go though as you may enjoy the things i didnt and you really should just make up your own mind

This game is trash. As a supporter of the original Deadzone PVPVE game this game just strips away PVP which was the only reason to play leaving you with a boring PVE shooter. It looks like trash - blurry, anisotropic filtering doesn't work so everything at distance looks crappy, and there's a haze over everything. DSLR FTR etc don't help. Honestly Deus Ex Human Revolution from 2011 looks WAY BETTER. Seriously. These developers took my money during Deadzone :Starsiege and didn't offer any compensation in this game - that's who you are dealing with. Avoid like the plague, or just install it and try and last more than 10 minutes, you won't.

Magikarp use Hyperbeam!

I was enjoying this game. Then you introduced REALLY annoying enemies that can't be killed with ranged attacks and my enjoyment plummeted immensely. Edit: Gave the game a try again after the balance update on 5/14/25. The balance changes do not address the enemies that can only be killed by Melee attacks. Allow me to rant about my frustrations. Having an enemy that endlessly spawns other enemies that can ONLY be killed with Melee is insane to me. I cannot tell you how many times I've had one of the "Spawner Drones" spawning a plethora of new enemies as I try not to get murdered by every other enemy in the room. Then as I kill the 20th enemy in a row I ask myself "When does this end" only to find out there was some "Spawner Drone" tucked away in a corner somewhere. This becomes increasingly annoying when you have Elite Shield enemies, Shield Drones, Healing drones, and the STUPID AF enemies that force you to look at them that also can only be killed with Melee added into the mix that make the enemies it spawn effectively immortal. Now you might say "Use the starting stealth to locate the spawner and kill them." Except when I do this, It usually puts me in a situation where I'm surrounded and die instantly. Just had a run end because I tried to stealth kill a "Spawner Drone" and was immediately greeted by a void spider who blew up, and locked me in place while two of his melee friends ran train on me. On top of the fact that sometimes you will walk into a room that has 3 of the damn things, so killing 1 of the 3 at the start really doesn't do too much. If Player movement was faster and I could kite enemies while I work to take out said "Spawner Drones" OR If they had some sort of Orb or something floating above them I could shoot to disable their range immunity shield, or some other meaningful way I could interact with them other than walk up and hit the Melee button that would feel WAY better. The game is a first person shooter. Having enemies that require Melee to defeat with no other alternative just does not make sense to me. Especially when the Melee does not feel very good to use. I think even making them just take reduced range damage, and having them take full Melee damage would be a decent ban-aid fix until you can figure out a better alternative. Also. Please let players choose a different starting weapon for a run instead of the Pistol. Because the starting Pistol is kind of beans.

Zone 2 sector 16 after you clear the room has now TWICE IN A ROW dropped the perk orb down below making it impossible to clear the level. Thanks for making a game breaking bug and wasting my time. Zone 2 sector Glass cannon, wave 19 the perk orb dropped at the end of the NEXT level, again another sector you can't beat because the game breaking bugs. But hey you guys made it so it takes longer than 2 hours to get to zone 2 so those of us who are here can't even get a refund. Nice work scammers. They made dual wielding cost your hp if you miss, and since its a low accuracy weapon you always miss unless you're in close range, so that's cool making this weapon useless. Shotguns load 1 round at a time, you know what it's like upgrading ammo capacity and then running around for 30 seconds sprinting from enemies while you reload slower than shit? Another useless weapon. The devs have the collective intelligence of a baked potato, I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and not judge them based on their other games (which are trash) but daaaaamn, here we are again. I'm done, this game is absolutely effing garbage, where's my refund?

This rips ass

the easiest levels are to hard

sucks. u cannot even save the freaking game. so i have to clear 30 halls which costs me 1.5 hour or more or 2 hours. so you can never jsut play this game for a bit you have to play hours or u have to start all over again. this is the most redicilous thing about a game ever, otherwise iid have liked it. also the system requirements are very very incorrect. this game is much more intensive than you expect if u max it out.

Lack of a game save option is a deal killer for me, I have a life, I have spent 2.2 hours playing this game and I don't want to start over from the beginning.

game is fun and has a perfect alt f4 time for when you get mad that a frozen spider bites your nutsack and freezes you in place

10/10 game but 0/10 because the mele bots from zone 2 that teleport exists

Game fun, little robots you shoot, my ass smells funny

Still as stupid as the demo, they give you a few more items but the healing rooms no longer heal you to max health so you are playing a losing game every time. The androids are aim bots and when you throw a grenade from behind them while stealth they can magically dodge it. Truly amazing how they cant see you but can dodge grenades. The spider and runners are FAR faster than you are and GG cause you cant get away from them. So glad im under 2 hours, refunding this shit. And i know I know its a skill issue cause the devs are too fucking stupid to make shit balanced

The game is really fun—a loot shooter with eplayable !!!You do see a few bugs now and again, but the developers are working hard to improve it. They've also included a solo mode, which makes me happy. Finally, one last thing. I'm a total fan of leveling (grinding). You should let your hard-earned character show that they've played a lot, and a prestige mode would be good for that. Because then I can always play the game. I want to see the diligence (of fellow players), not the reward of a skin. Hopefully, you can understand me with the translator app.

My only critique is having to start from the beginning when you die and not the stage you are on? Apart from that absolutely love the game :-)

Needs more balancing patches. Zone 2 is just a nose dive in fun compared to 1 since it adds gimmick enemies which can freeze you and distort vision. Needs more rerolls, I have runs where I am getting absolutely nothing good. This happens in rogue likes and I've never been a fan this aspect. Feast or Famine isn't a fun way to play imo. Seriously, let me reroll perks so I can get the element I want...

Difficult as hell, but fun. I bet it's better with friends but don't have any of those. Worth the price tag
