무한로딩

무한로딩 걸려서 게임 진행이 안돼요… 캐릭터들이 그냥 멀뚱멀뚱 서있어요… 껐다가 나가보기도 했는데 그대로입니다 ㅠㅠ 재밌어서 결말보고싶은데 해결부탁드려요ㅠㅠ

Fantastic! Highly recommended!

I thoroughly enjoyed making my way through the apocalyptic water world with our small band of survivors, and enjoyed the engaging mini-battles along the way.
The story arc is great, as is the artwork and the strategy element of the battles is perfectly balanced. Each battle is really a puzzle that can be solved using a selection of abilities and boosts in the correct order, and what makes that great is that because you have unlimited options to restart each battle if you lose , or even if you think you’re going to lose…. This allows you to try a different combination of moves to get you further, until you finally hit on the right combination to unlock the solution and win. It really makes you have to think your way through each battle, but without the stressful rush of other games. The strategic battles have more of a chess like speed to them, whilst moving between them is a peaceful and quite relaxing treasure hunt.

Bravo to everyone involved with this, from the artists to the writers to the programmers…Big kudos 🙌🏻

Favorite game ever

First time I write a review on a game. Everything is perfect in this. The story, the design, the gameplay, the strategy to win the fights, the moral, the musics and songs (!!!)
I enjoyed every minute of this game, thanks for this masterpiece.

Fun so far, room for improvement.

I love the artwork and the details in this game. The radio is a good touch but I have just a few recommendations: the music nob in the settings doesn’t turn down the music on the radio, I like hearing the updates the radio host gives but the music isn’t for me. I’m not an indie music fan. Also the looting so far is pretty meh. All I’ve gotten from stopping at 9 or so spots that aren’t the objective are just health boosts and movement boosts, zero weapons. I understand you want to keep it challenging to an extent but the fact I go out of my way to dock at a side place just to find a newspaper and boom is pretty lame. I enjoy the battle sequences but I feel I could enjoy them more if there were some better weapons, for instance I kill multiple guys with guns yet I can’t pick them up or nothing? I get you guys tried to do a lot of environmental battle stuff but it’s just not at cool or satisfying. Otherwise the story pace and everything is great and once I finish the game I might come back and change my review but for now, solid 4 star experience. Not bad but it hasn’t blown me outta the water (no pun intended).
