  • Still a few bugs but I’m glad it’s being updated

    I loved “the wanderer” game and was excited to try this one! it looks like it’s pretty new and there’s still an issue with anti rads not taking away radiation damage and I believe that it should either be easier to find clean water and food I think I’m at 5 luck and 3 perception or be able to sell things for a slightly higher price it’s like 1 coin for everything at 6 charisma also I’m not sure if it’s the radiation damage but i can’t enter buildings and walk slow but I’m not at the weight limit.
    Overall I’m excited to see what it becomes and I GREATLY appreciate that the developer seems to be responding to reviews and trying to fix the issues when I feel the game is more playable I’ll be happy support by buying some of the micro transactions!
  • Full of bugs

    This game is completely unplayable for me. None of the food I feed my dog actually fills its stats. I can’t get rid of rads no matter how many anti-rads I take or how much I rest, and now none of the food or drink fills the humans stats either. I sometimes fall off the map and I have to restart completely to fix it. Sometimes I can’t even walk around even if my bag is empty! I really want to enjoy this game but it’s unplayable. I love the other game The Wanderer and so I thought I would enjoy this one also but I can’t even do basic things.

    Hi so we have changed Anti-rads in the next update but they get removed in game hourly in your version. The pet food we will look into. We have also fixed a lot of stability issues with player movement and glitches as well as big improvements to location visuals! Stay tuned for a big update!
  • Beware if trying to support development through purchases

    I’m a fan of The Wanderer so was happy to see a new take on the simple gameplay by the company that got it right the first time. But I’m now feeling a little less positive having played through the first up version to the one to date (2/6/24). Wanderer fans will enjoy this new concept I think, but beware: purchases are yielding short. I’ve requested a refund through Apple, but wanted to let others (and hopefully the devs) know that if you’re looking to support the game and its growth by making in-app purchases, maybe wait until they’ve worked out more of the problems. It’s a fun game, buggy but not infuriatingly so, definitely has lots of potential… but if you buy “caps”, the amount you purchase is nowhere near the amount you get (I’m referring to the 100,000 caps in my case - my bad for not realizing initially, but after repeated purchase, I saw I was receiving less than 80,000 each time). Also, purchases made with those caps in game were deducting 2-5x the amount indicated in dialogue bubbles. Again, it took me a while to actually notice this - yes I should have paid more attention initially as it is obviously a game still being worked out, but I guess the optimist in me thought they wouldn’t be accepting/wouldn’t have activated in-game purchases if that aspect weren’t working accurately? I don’t know about the other purchase options available because I’m not planning on making any more for a while.
    Hoping the situation is corrected… because otherwise, that’s a way to lose people who actually want to support the developers and game FAST!

  • Great game

    Early in dev, promising game that already has a lot of depth mechanics

    Developer Response

    Thanks! Really appreciate it. Theres a new update with a lots of additions :D
  • Excellent!

    I was only able to play the tutorial but that’s because my device is outdated, as long as your device has more than 2 gigs of ram, you will have a blast surviving the wastelands, scavenging for supplies, and fending off bandits that are after your precious supplies.

    Shoutout to the dev/support team! These guys helped me resolve any issues much faster than most!

    Developer Response

    Apologies, we will look into this issue. Could you check the latest update from the store and see if it fixes it?
  • Too raw

    I understand that game is new. But it just doesn't work. Start -> update assets -> 99% ->... nothing. :(((

    Developer Response

    Apologies so we've now got rid of that whole assets download page :) Please the latest update on the store
  • Bugged

    I’ve restarted the game 3 times to see if it would fix my bug, but I am unable to select the weapon I found. I can’t even start the tutorial fight because I need to equip the weapon first.

    I loved the other game from this company so I’m hoping after a few more patches this will be really good!!

    Developer Response

    Apologies, we've fixed a lot of issues since. Please see the latest version on the store

    Developer Response

  • Needs Work

    I can’t get past the tutorial even cause I can’t pull a bat out of a car. Game is sort of buggy and the UI is difficult to learn or sometimes just doesn’t respond. Love the other games from the devs but this one is a bit rough, will keep it downloaded for now in case it gets better.
