![]() ![]() Meanwhile there is an earthquake/acid eruption/ion storm/meteor shower/giant swarm/nest every few minutes. ![]() The combat just isn't deep enough to make it interesting almost non-stop for hours on end. You either train them around and try to take the enemies out en masse, or you have to stop each time to kill them. Or if you don't need resources, it is "criss-cross the map looking for a vague something", or "There is a nest spawning enemies/large creature on the other side of the map, go kill it." Regardless, most of your time is spent trudging across the map, getting swarmed every few seconds. You'd think that the other biomes would make add variety, but they mostly just give you the same enemies with a different skin, while putting you in environments that are basically "if you stray from the path into the (radiation crystals/fire/acid yeast) you'll take damage." Spend 45 minutes to an hour like this, then go do it again for another resource. Finally your scanner pings - and you get 43 out of the 500. Go gather 500 resources of (type.) You have to stroll around with scanner, hoping it will ping, while being attacked by huge numbers of enemies every few seconds. I'm in the mid-game now, and it's grindy and tedious. This wants to be a good game, and it is for a while, but its gameplay outstays its welcome. Much more like that and I'll be leaving it behind.Īlso: I know my carbonium storage is full, and that the resource queue is empty, but I'm dealing with an enemy swarm while trying to set up a brand new base without any defenses yet in the middle of a meteor shower, so why not STFU until things settle down? I still love the concept, but the acid biome hasn't been fun. Problem #4: Luckily I didn't have this issue, but I read about a lot of other people with it: random events beyond your control (like meteor showers) can destroy the mission objective, effectively ending progression, as in 'game breaking' unless you have a save to roll back to. Remember the part about not being able to build towers? And they attack with massive numbers of artillery type creatures, which means you have to run out into the field to stop them. When enemies attack, they attack through the field that kills you, even with the corrosive plating on your armor. The thing you have to defend is in the middle of an field of exploding acid plants. The issue is that you can't build towers, as they will either A) attack and destroy the mission objective, or B) attack all of the infinitely respawning plants until they are out of ammunition for the actual attacks. Standard 'build a specific building and defend it for X minutes' mission. I was building research towers near all the smaller ones because I had never actually seen the thing and had no idea what they were talking about. The problem was that they tell you, "There's the root!" when you are nowhere near it. ![]()
