    I enjoyed playing this after it launched, great game with potential. My only complaint was the Ground Hog Day effect with monster spawns. You’d run into the same critters, in the same locations, over and over again. I figured the game was pretty new at the time, and hoped the devs would eventually randomize spawns to make it less monotonous. If they have, may need to start up a new game.

      The last time I played, they had changed this: when you explore new areas, enemies from those areas will start spawning in old locations. I’d still like to see a randomizer option sometime in the future, but I like the new changes.

    Started playing this with my friends a couple of months ago. We are old so we can only play for 2 hours every week bit it is a blast! Having so much fun and the graphics being a throwback to half life 1 is just top notch! It really show how much gameplay means compared to polygon count and whatever effects etc.

    Not sure if I would have played this on my own. A bit too much of the survival stuff that I am not into too much but that is a personal preference. Less stress about that with friends.

      The game is pretty dope, but the thing that broke my enthusiasm with the game was the realization that mosterspawning teleporter/rift can just spawn in the base. Doesn’t seem like a fun mechanic to me, the game is a misery-simulator everywhere else, why did it need to have random monsterspawners in “safe areas” as well. :/

      I guess I need to take a gander in the sandbox settings, apparently there’s some slider/toggle to affect monster’s damage to furniture/craftingstations/etc.

        Always keeps you on your toes. System Shock 2 also had monsters able to respawn anywhere, so you were never 100% safe.

        I’m pretty sure the portals spawn at set locations, and there are great spots for bases that monsters can’t access at all (except for one creepy guy). There’s a great spot in a little upstairs area right by the elevator in the offices.

          I wouldn’t know, not that far into the game, still just working in the starting cafeteria area. But, I’ll check it again at some point.

    Man that site is such an ad dump haven… an ad disaster when on iOS.

      That’s great to hear! I’ve been itching for a survival crafting game and every one of them seems geared towards co-op.
