Preis Update 17.05.23

In der Steampunk-Ära unternehmen Sie eine Expedition zu einer verlassenen Insel, die Sie einst als Heimat bezeichneten. Aber plötzliche Ausbrüche, die durch Roboter ausgelöst wurden, machten den wunderbaren Ort zu einer apokalyptischen Wüste. Um die natürlichen Elemente der Insel zu überleben, müssen Sie diese Kreaturen überlisten und eines ihrer Drillships erobern. Verwenden Sie ihre eigene Technologie gegen sie, während Sie die Maschinen aufrüsten und Ihre Heimat zurückerobern.

MOBILE BASIS
Nehmen Sie den Aussichtspunkt, bleiben Sie sicher unter der Erde oder wählen Sie einen reichhaltigen Standort und erkunden Sie. Das Drillship ist eine einzigartige Basis, die als Fabrik- und gepanzerte mobile Basis dient.

TÖDLICHE UMGEBUNG
Erleben Sie die Spannung und den Nervenkitzel als überlebender der Vulkanausbrüche, die die Insel in ein apokalyptisches Ödland verwandeln. Die Zeit zwischen jedem Ausbruch ist Ihre wertvollste Ressource. Verwenden Sie es, um die Insel zu durchstreifen, um Materialien zu sammeln, neue Technologien zu finden und die Produktion zu nutzen.

BEDROHUNG DURCH ROBOTER
Kämpfe gegen feindliche Roboter, die den Vulkan als Energiequelle nutzen. Ihre Einheiten sind auf der gesamten Inseloberfläche und darunter verteilt.

BASIS MANAGEMENT
Übernimm die Kontrolle über dein Drillship mit vielen verschiedenen Stationen und Geräten. Automatisieren Sie die Produktion, erforschen Sie Technologien, richten Sie Verteidigungsanlagen ein und machen Sie aus dem Drillship ein unübertroffenes Kraftpaket.

Unglaublich wie wenig Leute dieses Spiel kennen.

Es ist ein Survival im Steampunk Design welches sich immer weiter entwickelt.
Wiederspiel wert ist da, viele Stunden mit Freunden, verrückte Sachen machen.

Nach dem ersten Durchlauf hat man noch nicht alles ausprobiert, also ran an die nächste Herausforderung.
Man kann ganz beliebig nach dem ersten Durchgang, den Schwierigkeitsgrad, individuell einstellen.
Daher kann es auch sehr herausfordernd sein und gerade im Multiplayer ist viel Spaß vorprogrammiert.

Mir gefällt es sehr, da man auch seinen Drill optimieren kann, Herstellung automatisieren, Farben ändern, Mods hinzufügen und noch einiges mehr.

Pro und Contra:

Pro:

- Multiplayer läuft sehr gut, Desyncs oder Bugs sind so gut wie nicht existent.
- Automatisierung und Optimierung deiner Module
- Benutzerdefinierte Einstellungen der Schwierigkeit
- Zurücksetzen der Ressourcen nach jedem Ausbruch
- Entwicklung schreitet voran und orientiert sich nach den Ideen der Community
- Da steckt noch jede Menge Potenzial drin

Contra:

- Audio ist noch nicht so gut Optimiert, daher überlappen sich Töne bei einigen Kämpfen (bei den Crog Bohrer die für die Ausbrüche sorgen) und somit ist das nicht sehr angenehm.
- Hitboxen der Crog könnten noch ein wenig Optimiert werden
- Leider gibt es nur Crog als Gegner, diese sind zwar verschieden, dennoch könnte es ruhig auch die eine oder andere Rasse/Fraktion noch geben.
- Es fehlt ein wenig Endgame Content, wie bei den Mods zu sehen ist, kann der Drill durchaus mehr als nur 4 Segmente vertragen, außerdem auch ein paar mehr Tier Stufen, somit hätte man länger was vom Spiel.

Verbesserungsvorschläge:

- Multiplayer KOOP Host ist der Spieler, mehr als 4 Spieler und Server wären Wünschenswert, mit der Möglichkeit auf PVP
- Größere Höhlen auf den Ebenen zwei und drei
- Mehr Ebenen und Tier Stufen wären Wünschenswert, für ein längeres Spielerlebnis.

Sollte mir noch was einfallen, würde ich diese Rezension später editieren.
Ich hoffe ich konnte euch einen kleinen Einblick in das Game geben.
Schaut euch ein paar YT Videos dazu an, es ist wirklich ein gutes Spiel und ist sein Geld wert.
Bitte beachtet es ist immer noch EA, dennoch brauch sich dieses Spiel nicht hinter anderen Survival Spielen verstecken.

Liebe Grüße

euer NathorusLP

Geiles Game und nette Idee. Nach 21 Stunden durch, ist ja auch noch Early, hat aber Spaß gemacht :)

Ich freu mich noch auf Updates und Patches. Wenn ich jetzt vergleich, bei guten Vollpreis Titeln hat auch
man auch nicht immer die 40 Stunden Spielzeit aber die kosten dann deutlich mehr.

Daher gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis und noch ordentlich Potenzial nach oben.

+ Koop funktioniert sehr gut
+ Viele Materialien, Komponenten, Waffen, Module, etc.
+ Spiel hat einen angenehmen Schwierigkeitsgrad
+ Grafik ist gut
+ Relativ wenige Buggs (kein Spielentscheidender Bug bislang aufgetreten)

- Das Aufwerten einiger Module fühlt sich unbelohnend an (Bsp. Kraftwerk St. 1 benötigt 1 Wandslot und erzeugt 5 Energie, Kraftwerk St. 2 benötigt 2 Wandslots und erzeugt 10 Energie)
- Es ist teilweise viel zu leicht Ressourcen zu sammeln, man könnte theoretisch fast komplett ohne Auftauchen spielen (abgesehen vom Ausschlachten der feindlichen Drills)

Insgesamt für den Preis von unter 17€ definitiv zu empfehlen.

Dieses Spiel ..., eines das seines gleichen sucht. Nach anfänglichen Ärgernissen die unter anderem mir selbst geschuldet sind *hust* einigen, leider gamebreaking bugs, habe ich dieses Spiel durch und ich Liebe es. So viel Potential, mal etwas neues wagen aber auch nicht zu viel. Ich kann es nur empfehlen, 16€ ist ein Witz für den Spaß, vorallem wenn noch mehr Zeug hinzu kommt.

Ich empfehle jedem der das Spiel kauft regelmäßig Quicksafe (F5) und normal zu speichern um unangenehme Situationen und Bugs zu umgehen. ;)

Nu mal ehrlich, was soll das wieder? Die ressourcen liegen einfach wiedermal mitten in der Welt als Haufen, im Untergrund rumfahren is auch nur als Mimimap möglich. Spielerischer tiefgang ist gleich 0. Ressourcenmanagement nicht nötig.

Die Häuser in der Welt sind nur Texturen, man kann nichts betreten. Die Gegner sind auchn Witz. Nette Idee, aber da fehlt noch einiges

Played a couple of hours. Seems like it's going to be a ton of fun. I will say this though. The game STARTS you off with a LOT of stuff that you have to learn over time INSTEAD of running you through some kind of tutorial to learn about all the stuff you're given. It isn't necessarily hard but it is a LOT more than I am accustomed to when starting a survival/crafting game. Not a HUGE deal but I would have loved to learn how to build what's in this volcanoid before I just start accepting quests and doing what the quests are telling me to do, ya know? Anyway, gonna spend some more time in this bad boy as well. Fun is definitely going to be had.

Remember watching the development on TikTok a few years back. Bought it back then to just support the dev as i saw he really does a ton of work around it.

Kinda forgot about it until recently, and the game changed A TON, its a really nice game with a affordable price, has MP and lots of customization and stuff to find out.

Pros:
- Multiplayer really makes the game what it is. If you have friends you can play with, it's a lot of fun customising the drill.
- The sounds, especially when shooting the various guns is fantastic.
- Gathering the resources was pretty quick which I like in these game where you craft,
- The mechanic of the volcano constantly erupting, and having to dig underground to escape is an interesting game feature. It sets a limit to how long you have to gather resources and puts excitement to the overall game play.

Cons:
- This game is janky as hell. You get stuck on weird corners and ledges. Shooting with the gun and using the reticle felt like it wasn't hitting or damaging the enemy. That happened a couple of months ago when I played the game so I am hoping it was fixed.
- The volcano constantly erupting while neat, got tiring real quick. After a while I just like going up there to explore and artificially forcing the player to stop got on my nerves after a while.
- I lost my items when I didn't make a bed, and quit the game. That was annoying and I don't know if they fixed that in a patch as it's been a while since I last played.
- Fighting robots isn't satisfying. Just something about the combat feels bland.
- It feels as if the drill gets damaged way too easily and you're stuck to constantly repairing it which is annoying.

Overall:

I don't think this game is really for me. I found it a bit bland and if I wasn't playing this with other people, I'd have uninstalled it right away and asked for refund.

I went through this game in easy mode to learn the ropes and tricks of managing a drill monster... was fun... really didnt expected much from this game but it delivered everything from a satisfactory point of view, combined with an easy going shooter with really basic mechanics and physics.

+ Steam punk theme everything, I love steam punks theme... So much advanced technology with so basic copper gears and levers everything :D
+ You got to make an efficient drill monster and manage your energy and resources while producing all the gear you need to kill all those robots all over the place.
+ Weapons have different bullet velocity, really well done. Straight fast, lobe slow, electric beams and so on
+ Defensive turrets effective only vs certain types of weapons, so you need to mix and match what your opponents can throw at you.
+ (finally and the biggest +) No game crash or strange bugs during my entire gameplay experiment... *tip hats* its really REALLY! incredible from games nowaday, for an independent studio who are their own publisher.. WOW, you guys put to shame any large box who pretend to be programmers... will definitely look for other or later products from their list.

- Dont try to jump with your character, he CANT do it!! :P its feels like your character weight 400 pounds... but he can run like a marathon dude when he still has stamina (thats really a tiny minus mark here, would be easy to fix)
- Graphics are a bit low resolution but heh, I guess, its a work in progress, its good enough for now I think but definitely expect to see an improvement there (no big deal there either)

Im ready for the real tryout now on regular difficulty see if I can do it again :D

When I first got it, it was clunky and boring. Now (4/2022) it's actually pretty good. I appreciate a game like this with an actual end. The story is shallow, but that wasn't what they were going for. The difficulty curve is, well bad. It starts out practically boring, and lurches suddenly to actually challenging out of no where. I loved building my drill ship. The game is small and obviously built by a small team, but it has an excellent personality. My play time is basically 100% completion. It's neat.

Great game! I like the fact that this is a survival game with a steampunk theme mixed in, it adds a unique game play experience. The only complaint I have is the fact that the story is very quick, I suspect that this will change in the next year or so due to it being in early development. To me $20 is a bit of a stretch because it only takes about 13 to 15 hours to complete, assuming you take your time, if you strictly follow the tutorial and don't work on any other things you will complete the game in about nine hours. Although, with a few more content updates I can totally see this game being worth its current retail price. Your best bet is waiting until it goes on sale, then buying it. With a seemingly bright looking future ahead of this game, buying it at full price is not a bad idea though, it really depends on how much you think you will enjoy it.

I'll start off, this isn't a strong recommendation. It's right on the line where I had to stop and think if I actually would recommend the game.

Volcanoids gives just enough content to be worth it's price. As an early access, I can say that yes they are good about updating and improving though I believe there was a long time when not enough content was a big problem. At this point it's at a good balance of content vs price.

Pros:
This game really is great about the Steam Punk feel. Everything copper'd out and mechanical.
Progression is fun and challenging.
The drill ship is pretty epic and can become HUGE.
There's a decent mod workshop that has fun additions.
The devs are progressively improving.
Map is pretty big and multilevel.

Cons:
The mechanics are a bit different and hard to catch on to with crafting and technology.
Once you do start progressing, progression is very quick (too quick) from 0 to hero.
The game is a bit short without extra content or side missions to enjoy.
Limited scenery. A lot is just duplicates made harder by more enemies.
Building is restricted to just your ship, no where else.
Combat is pretty clunky. I can't put my finger on it directly, but this definitely isn't a fast paced smooth FPS.

First play through in solo mode was easily worth the cost. Endgame is pretty difficult solo on normal mode. Play through on normal in multiplayer was a lot easier. Great fun, and I hope there's more content coming. I got about 40 hours in and feel like I've done everything to do on normal mode. Now to do hard mode!

Volcanoids is another one of those indie titles that I followed the development of on TikTok. When I realized the title of the game and further found out it was on Steam, I instantly picked it up. I played through the entire story with a friend and can confidently say that the game is good. The graphics and sound design are both kind of dated and certainly not that exciting, but the visual design of the game is cohesive and pleasing - some sort of mix between atompunk, dieselpunk, and steampunk. The progression system of the game is extremely linear, but remains relatively engaging. The combat is not the tightest I've played, but the game does give you plenty of options regarding how you wish to deal with the various hazards that you will come across. Fighting enemy drillships is especially fun. My biggest compliment for the game is the rock solid performance. The game launches and closes extremely quickly, the multiplayer system is similarly reliable. Overall, very fun and engaging game with solid gameplay and enjoyable resource collection loops. I would recommend to anyone who likes crafting/survival games and anyone who wishes to support small devs.

A Steampunk drillship management survival game, doesn't that sound super cool? Great, cause it is!

Pros :
- Great gameplay loop, easy to first understand, hard to master !
- Work your way towards higher tier equipment trough different biomes, but you can go back at anytime if you need a rest
- Automation! Nothing is as satisfying as fully automatic crafting
- Pretty deep drillship customisation
- Surprisingly solid combat for the genre!
- Interesting universe
- Optional quest system, if you feel like you could use guidance, or just go in blind!
- Game systems and quests are really well explained despite how complex they are
- Workshop/Mod support

Cons :
- Can be complicated to get into and understanding the principles
- A wrong move at the wrong time can cost you everything
> Your drillship can get destroyed extremely fast if you're careless.
- Third person animations are a bit janky (think a rework is planned though)
- No player customisation atm (but planned feature)

A truly unique game that works really well.
Not even done and it's already great at what it does.
If it sounds good to you and you are willing to learn the ropes, you won't regret it!

Not great, not terrible. Better than what most of the early access games give you in the genre, and has an ending already. Took around 10 hours to finish.

There are a few design choices that don't seem to make a whole lot of sense that I overlooked due to this being out as early access:
- Stamina isn't used for anything (except sprinting), and there's an absurd amount of it. There are no upgrades that give you more stamina. It does run out eventually, but overall it feels like it was added without much thought put into why it exists, and sprint could easily just be replaced with an infinite sprint without breaking game balance in any way.
- At times it felt like the game is punishing you for playing it, as there is nothing you can build to the drillship to adequately defend it from AI attack waves. There didn't seem to be any way to automate repairs, so you end up having to run around your ship repairing things if you don't want anything to break, given how little health all the modules (even later tier ones) have. In other words, it feels like the game is punishing you for even thinking about leaving the ship, unattended, but camping it with repairs is not what I'd imagine to be the intended experience here. We actually ended up skipping the last ship length expansion because it seemed unmanageable, running around three compartments already took long enough.
- Making it so you need lower tier resources to craft higher tier modules (at least when advancing tiers the first time) seems like a gimmick that forces you to spend a lot of time traveling around different tier zones, feels like I'm playing Albion online again (which had it by design). Making lower tier resources available via some means in higher tier areas, or shortcuts between zones (T3 to T1 directly without passing T2 for example) would make this better.

The ship defense in particular seems like an area that could be made a lot more engaging, as it was, we ended up using remote control to send it underground when we left the ship to move around as the constant AI sieges against it would slowly destroy it regardless of what defenses were set up. So we ended up avoiding the ship defense fights almost entirely near the end game as it just made no sense.

All in all, not great, not terrible, definitely a lot better than some other early access titles of the genre.

Having an amazing time. New concept to delve into and it has a bit of everything for everyone. I'm more of the explorer type while my partner is more finding efficiencies and make the ship run good and we're both able to really enjoy this co-op game together. Also its a great community on the discord.

10/10 would recommend.

What's good:
- If you play survivals, you'll enjoy the first few hours of exploring, crafting and combat.
- It's a nice change to fight robots and a volcano -- instead of the usual zombie horde.
- I'm enjoying the beginning stages, having one ongoing multiplayer game with a friend, and another solo.
But: there does seem to be a lack of content.

What its missing:
- I want to customize my hotbar. If you're holding 2 items that are assigned to button 4, you can only use one of them.
- Multiplayer is limited. There is only one quest line. You're forced to stick with your friend and progress together. I want more than one drillship in multiplayer mode. Can you imagine if a game like Minecraft forced people to stay together at all times? It wouldn't work. This game could be much more enjoyable if we could build our own drills and explore separately.
- Balancing single player vs multiplayer. There seems to be the same number of foes in both game modes; I would have expected more robots in multiplayer and less in single player.

My advice:
- Buy this when it's on discount, and enjoy it for a few hours.

Im giving this game a thumbs down even tho i have had some fun playing it and i love the concept of the tunnle bore which is also a base where you can walk around and actually do stuff in. The let down about this was that you couldnt really do anything whilest being underground which deafeated the whole purpose of a base inside a tunnle bore. I would have liked to have an upgrade or something to be able to still craft and do other things while being underground because i didnt really see a purpose to be underground other then hide from the volcano. At all times i was on the ground or in a cave going against robots. I expected there to be more digging tunnels and finding and grinding resources which it wasnt really. The only thing coming close was the minigame on the board computer where the ship followed the cursor which also worked awefully since it always went the path of least resistence and not right to the cursor which lead to it going around weird motions often times. The story of the game wasnt really there neither it was really just robots on island -> kill them -> oh the island is free again. At the current time there was also no real propper ending if i can say it like that. Basically you just have to destroy 3 lazer things made by the robots and then the game is over no real bossfight or anything. The robots were also kinda boring they were always the same just different colors and different drops the more you progressed the more health they had and also better guns and when you progessed so far that they couldnt add any guns they just threw more enemies at you with even more health. There was no other enemy then the one you see in the first 10 min of the game just different guns and more health. Coming to the colision and hitboxes which really gave me a seizure while fighting the robots. There was literally no way you could hide behind something and not have it happen that you shoot against an invisible wall furthermore the enememies hitboxes were also not 100% the same as their visual model and that combined sometimes made it really aweful killing them. After completing the game you had an option to conintue or to leave if you chose to continue you litearlly had nothing to do there were no enemies no nothing you could just go around and get resources and not even all cause some you needed the robots for which also made no sense making the continuing of the game useless, there werent even volcano erruptions anymore which makes sense since you defeated the robots but still why is there an option to continue then? Conclusion of this this game so far is that its way too expensive for what you are getting, at least the singleplayer mode, the multiplayer might be a completely different experience i havent played it but the singleplayer should at least still be good. I know its early access and if i ever play it again and there were major changes ill update this review but for now i sadly have to give it a tumbs down since it really isnt worth the money. I really hope they work on the tunnel bore also being able to do stuff underground and also on the enemies cause those were the major letdowns.

The game was pretty fun while it lasted. However, there is not a lot of content in it. That's why I wouldn't recommend it. There needs to be way more content in it. Also, the map is really small. After 5-10 hours you have seen everything twice.

It's a bit more objective oriented than the usual craft/survival game I'm familiar with, especially with the cyclic nature of needing to dive underground with your mobile base during the frequent disasters. Having it as a mobile base was rather refreshing compared to other settings where the base is in one location and that tends to make resources convenient or not. The version I played was a while ago, and at the time battle was rather simple, and there didn't seem to be too much benefit to use any weapon aside the hand mortar and grenades but I have to emphasize that was during the version I played.

Overall enjoyed the experience. In terms things to add, I'd like to see variants of the premise - I know it would go against the title but variants where you are trying to survive and thrive amidst other disasters could be quite interesting, switch out the volcano for heavy electrical windstorms, or even tidal waves. The core gameplay formula is quite adaptable in that regard.

Great fun at a low price. There is a learning curve, but I am 80 so probably a little slow these days. Just stick to the quests for a while, and you will be OK. I usually play first person shooters, but thought I would give this a tr

This game has a long way to go... but hopefully that's a good thing?

I want to give this game a thumbs up and hopefully will change my recommendation in future as it progresses out of Early Access.

Idea and theme is really original and inventive but there is next to nothing to do right now except upgrade your Drill(base)/Equipment while make everything else you've done so far obsolete. There is basically no story or drive for exploration besides resource gathering for your next drill upgrades and fighting an endless spawning of boring and over powered (ro)bots.

Game is NOT an open-world/survival at all, at least not in the stage it is in. (I hope it becomes one, it would be quite unique to the genre if it did)

Developers seem to be taking a lot of input on board as far as feedback from early access buyers/discussion board which can be a double edged sword from my observation in other games with constant development.
It would be nice to see the game they have in their own vision come to fruition rather than mutate it into something to please the brain-dead masses and eventually introduce over-complicated crafting systems and the ever-demanded and usually unnecessary mount...

I am in the early part of the game. I really like this game. I am still a little confused about the upgrading process, but I have the Captain giving me the tips to help. I love fighting the cogs and exploring. I look forward to upgrading my ship and turrets. I am big on survival games but I wouldn't really call this a survival game. I like the fact that as you progress, so do the cogs and the enemy drill ships. That keeps the game interesting. Overall a really unique game. Buy it now too while it's on sale. I paid the full price but I think it's worth it.

Overall good game, Great concept with some good ideas being thrown in and it seems to be in constant development. Biggest thing I liked while playing with friends was the paint-jobs as part of the customization update, that update knocked it out of the park with how customization the paint jobs could be.
Some things and or suggestions with some constructive criticism.

- More enemy variety (shooting same thing with more health and does more damage gets stale)
- Possibly larger map (heard that was being worked on)
- More survival elements, for a survival game you only really have to manage your health and armor. It doesn't feel like a survival game. (give another reason to go back to the surface (Food / Water))
- Even on higher difficulty, never really felt pressured, had to set custom difficulty and it was still pretty easy to evade cogs
- could have actual fortifications/fortresses that spawn COGS in lower levels instead of just drill ships that pop up and density of Cogs gets higher.
- could use a better sound design (awooga gets annoying, turned off in game sound mid way through the play-through, the sounds can get grating and annoying to listen to in general.)
- COGS should actively defend the last laser, (we chucked mortars at the last laser then got cutscene)
- Once defeating last laser, there should be a last ditch attempt to kill you before they power down, I.E. Drillship defense
- Possibly add an Ironman mode, so if you made mistake, it would stick for a while.
- Cutscene after killing last laser was a bit akward and anticlimactic.
- More endgame content (Possibly PVP, More decoration for drillship/steam punk furniture, Etc..)
- Player customization
- Combat tweaks (It was a rinse and repeat of hit and run tactics and there wasnt too much risk involved)
- A.I. Improvements (COGS work off each others strengths instead of just one mass hoard coming at you)
- General Optimization
- Steam Workshop (heard that was being worked on)
- Day/Night cycle (make it harder to see at night or in the darkness, pull a deep rock galactic and make darkness a mechanic because you are underground consistently)
- Just add more content so game lasts longer.
- If PVP is a thing, make it so every player can have their own ship and can screw each other over.
- Should be optional mechanic that punishes people the longer they stay underground as a means of avoiding combat. I.E. enemies become more advanced/ harder to fight the longer you stay underground. Some sort of race against the clock mechanic.
- More modules, Modules should have certain conditions/ environments that they will work in most efficiently.
- Drillship V drillship combat (more points of entry, Just an idea toss)
- Should be debuffs from breathing in volcanic ash instead of just limited eyesight. Give stamina debuffs for breathing in volcanic ash.(COGS should be more active in ash and more actively hunt the player as the player is weaker)
- Give more content/ reasons to be above ground on the surface outside of purely mines.
- Possibly add underground biomes in the different caves / areas

New save, 'Alright, let's see if this is worth my money'
5-10 minutes in, 'Cool, a drillship!'
30 minutes in, 'I can place modules ON THE CEILING?!'
40 minutes in, 'I have way too much stuff, I'll never run out of coal too!'
1.5 hours in, 'I ran out of coal'
2 hours in, 'I finally have a second part to my drillship, new room for new modules and turrets! Got a shotgun too'
5 hours in, 'Ah, finally, tier 2 stuff, now a single grenade won't wipe out half my damn ship'
5.5 hours in, 'Two grenades took out half my ship'
8 hours in, 'Third segment to my drillship! Wait, what do you mean I can't deploy my 24th module? Why? What? Huh?'
8.5 hours, 'Oh, that's why'
9 hours, 'I THINK I have enough defense now. Hmm, yeah, I think 10 SMG turrets are enough'
10 hours, 'Omfg pls shoot the damn robot, turrets'
12 hours, 'Time to mine some coal. What do you mean drillship is getting attacked?'
12.1 hours, 'THAT'S LIKE MY WHOLE SHIP!'
14 hours, 'pls grenades'
15 hours, 'pls smg turret ammo, pls coal, pls crystals, pls sulfur'
15.7 hours, 'Wtf is a transmission?'
15.8 hours, 'hehe middlefinger logo go BRRR'
16 hours, *dies 7 times trying to get a second transmission*
19.1 hours, 'My Drillship do be lookin' kinda THICC tho'
19.9 hours, ‘Did I just save OVER MY 19.9 HOUR SAVE?!’
It was at this point, that gamingwithian realised that it’s not always about the progress or the end, but about the journey you make trying to get there.

Nah, who am I kidding? Dev, please make some sort of revert save option.

This game doesn’t really deserve a thumbs down, but it doesn’t deserve a thumbs up either. It's kind of in the middle. Maybe one day steam will allow me to post a review with a neutral rating. However, due to a bad design decision that is common in a lot of not-so-good games, I chose the thumbs down instead of thumbs up.

What I liked:
The aesthetic of the game is wonderful. I really like the steampunk look and feel.

I also like the idea of this mobile base that you take with you. You can upgrade it to add better facilities and even make it into a very large ship.

The graphics, sound, and animation are good for what the game is. Nothing earth shattering, but it certainly could be worse.

Load times are very quick. I would normally not mention this, except for a few recent games I have played that are slow to load.

What I didn’t like:
There are two main activities you spend most of your time on. Maybe 90% of your time.

The first one is on a 2d map, where you drive the icon of your ship around exploring an area and collecting resources like iron, copper, and coal.

The second activity is spending time in your drill ship while it's parked somewhere, watching crafting timers. So you have a research station that is doing research where you queue up and just watch a meter go. Then a refinery to turn iron ore into iron ingots. Then a crafting station to turn ingots into parts into whatever it is you want. All this takes a lot of time and there isn’t much to do.

You might think you want to park your ship and go exploring while all this crafting is going on, but that isn't viable because the crafting queues are so small. By the time you got anywhere, your factories would be done and you would need to return to your ship. Also you can only walk in caves or the overworld. The overworld only has basic resources which you do not need after the beginning of the game. The caves only have a VERY limited number of nodes to mine as well so there isn’t much to do there either. So basically find a book to read or something while all this crafting is going on.

The basic game-play loop is to kill a drillship, get a foozle from it, then do the above loop until everything is upgraded to the next tier and then find another drillship to kill in order to get foozle level +1 and do the loop again. That is almost the entire game-play.

What I REALLY didn’t like:
Combat really sucks in this game. You get torn up even with your best armor and best weapons. Your one dude against an infinitely respawning army. You weapons would need to be MUCH more powerful to deal the waves dues they throw at you near the end game. Its not challenging, but absurd.

For example, there is a quest to kill a tier 4 drill ship. This is a huge ship that has like 8 spawners for cogs. Not just any cogs, but top tier cogs. It took me like 10 attempts to take one out. My strategy was to make a bunch of save games at certain points where I was doing well so I could restart from that point again when everything went to hell.

At one point I am in a corridor in the enemy drill ship with a gatling gun going full blast and there are so many cogs spawning that I can’t make any headway. So I just have to duck out and find the spawners and take them out one by one, all the while the timer to the next eruption is counting down. But I beat it. The ONE tier 4 drill ship.

So I make it to the final mission, which is to take a giant laser thingy which is supposedly making the volcano. Well this baby is guarded by not one, not two, but THREE tier 4 ships cranking out the cogs. Now if my weapons and armor didn’t suck (I had the best the game offered as far as I can tell), then maybe I could have done it. I tried for a while and gave up because it's just WTF insane. This is on “Normal” difficulty BTW.

Part of the problem is that Armor isn’t armor. It doesn’t reduce damage. Its just extra HP. Now if titian armor gave you like 90% damage reduction rather than 4 bars of health (which can evaporate in seconds) then you might be able to do a lot better. Also changing armor or using a health pack takes a very long time as far as combat is concerned.

The major design flaw that this game is guilty of (and they are NOT alone in making this error) as far as the end-game is that they do not have any real creative idea of what to do for the finally of their game. So what do they do? Just throw waves of dudes as you and call it a day. So many games fail in their design this way. You read reviews that say something like, it was a good game for the most part, but at the end it all fell apart. All other mechanics go out the window and they throw a bunch of bad guys at you.

I have no idea where they can go with the design. Maybe when it's done I'll check it out again. Maybe they will have figured out what they want to do with the game by then.

Some small suggestions in case the devs read this:
Make production smart. Let me pick the end product and have the manufacturing system make all the things in between.
Make armor actual armor and not just some extra HP.
Improve combat and the weapons to handle waves of bad guys. Maybe if the gatling gun had explosive ammo that not only did more damage, but was an AoE, that would help a lot.

Slightly bigger suggestion. Let us build an army of our own cogs. Maybe the end battle would not be so ridiculous as it is now. Also these cogs should be able to collect corpses of other dead cogs to re-cycle into new cogs.

Got it since it is listed on Steam. Currently on my fourth-ish playtrough. I like to play Volcanoids every now and then, after Updates and now in the Coop mode with buddys.

The Devs show this game a lot of love, there is definitely progress. The Balancing still needs some twerking arround, since grenades are pretty hefty against nearly everything. The Corgs got a bit more the enemy i wished for, pathfinding has some bugs, but they can be a decent challenge when you play the highest difficulty (applies when you know the game a bit).

The Steampunk setting is one of the parts that got me into this game at the start. I can't wait for future updates and what the game will become in the future.

Early access caveats aside (which are few) I love this game! It's particularly fun with friends. The mechanic of having to meet the eruption deadlines adds a ton of drama, and upgrading the drillship so you can get involved in bigger battles and open up other areas is quite compulsive. 9/10

I wasn't that much implied into the game, but this combat update make the game really more enjoyable.
Good points of the game :
- The devs are really active and listen a lot to the community
- The gameplay is unique
- The base building around the drillship is well done
- The crafting system is enough complex to keep you interested into, but the tutorial makes it simple enough to understand
- The tutorial covers the whole game so you can't be loose if you enable it (tutorial = quests, quests can be done even if you don't accept it, there are more likely information)
- The multiplayer, there are vocal channel in their discord until they add in-game vocal and also a channel to search for crewmates
- The map is good to explore (villages, underground, caves)
- The modding is helped a lot (sometimes devs even help modders for programming or modelling) so it can balances the problem of replay value

Bad points :
- Not much replay value, mods are here tho
- Repetitiveness, the three areas are pretty much the same, the only thing that spice it up is that when you come to a new area, ennemies have weapons that you don't have yet
- The multiplayer still have some bugs of desync between the owner and the other players
- The normal difficulty seems to be unbalanced according to a lot of players.

Summary: Volcanoids is a game with an interesting concept that desperately wants to be a good game, except that it falls short. If you can find this on sale, especially if you have three friends who insist this is their “Must Play, Game of the Week”, and you don’t mind the gimmicks and failings, then fun can be had title. Otherwise, PLAY ANY OTHER “MOBILE BASE, BASE BUILDING SURVIVAL GAME” OUT THERE, LIKE RAFT, SPACE ENGINEERS, AND EMPYRION.

At the time of writing, I have owned the game for around 24 hours and have about seven hours playtime into the game on the single player side. I was serious when I wrote in the summary that Vulcanoids desperately wants to be a good game. The game is fairly stable and relatively bug free. It has an interesting concept around the game play. The animations are smooth. Weapons feel balanced and satisfying when fired. The developers put thought into how the various elements of the base would work, with many containers and work benches having controls that can be used without going into the container or workbench to use them. And the art style avoids that garish cartoon feel that Borderlands has. Even the base-building aspect avoids the hang-ups that seem to plague a lot of similar games. By all accounts, I should be recommending this game and not telling you to look elsewhere. Except I cannot recommend this game while it has the following issues:
The tutorial system stinks. No tutorial systems should spend more than 30 minutes, and especially not past the two-hour window Steam allows for their “no questions asked” return period. Volcannoids tries to get around this by dividing the “tutorial tasks” between what they call “essential” and “optional” lessons. Except that most of the relevant lessons are in the optional section, all the lessons are quests, the lesson quests are mixed in with the rest of the quests given by the only quest giver in the entire game, and many of the non-tutorial quests hinge on completing the tutorial quests (At least in the single player games). Add to the fact that the tutorial system never mentions the Quest/Journaling system that the tutorial system relies on to coach the player in what to do. All of this means that the player will be committed to the game’s purchase long before they “get to the good stuff” to decide if they want to keep the game. While I do not think the devs are deliberately trying to stretch out things past the two-hour mark to stick you with their game, it is something they inadvertently did.
The game fails to explain core concepts well. This is everything from the tutorial system to the very tools and objects themselves. For instance, the game never explained the difference between the various types of storage (including drillship storage). Nor did it properly explain the difference between the Object and Drillship tabs in the attached drillship storage system. Imagine my horror of having added a storage module to expand the ship’s inventory, loaded it up to get stuff out of my personal inventory, and then seeing the drillship’s inventory cut in half. The game never explained that each storage module added to the ship was just a storage chest itself, and the ship creates an array of storage devices while the ship is deployed “on the surface.” (Also, good luck finding anything when the ship’s submerged because the storage fragments when submerged.) Likewise, the game fails to explain that once you created an item needed to upgrade the ship, you do not need to craft any more of that item. This will result in new players crafting multiples of items they only need one of, like the level one crafting module blueprint. Nor does it explain that when you destroy the last attached modules to a vulcanoid, you better not be standing inside when you do so. (This one I think is more of a deliberate design choice for a laugh at the player’s expense.) Nope. Just some disjointed message boxes and BOOM!
The upgrade system is just as broken. The game has two ways a player can modify their drillship. The first is crafting components to physically place on the drill ship, and the second is to craft upgrade items to be placed in a special upgrade board. This, in of itself, isn’t a bad way to do things. Everspace 2 (another Early Access title I’m currently playing) uses this same setup. Except that Everspace 2 does not have me craft items for the second half. I just go to the slot I want to purchase the upgrade for, pay the material costs, and voila! The upgrade is done. With Volcanoid, first you must have the recipe to craft the upgrade part. And most of those are locked behind the quest system with no mention of which quest is needed, at least in the single player mode. Then there is the crafting itself, which for the upgrade parts requires navigating a myriad of similarly named component recipes and parts for the upgrade recipe. And oh my, if you accidentally made more than the required allotment of parts needed for the upgrade, you are now stuck salvaging the extras for a salvage penalty.
And Finally: THE WHOLE VOLCANO AND DRILLSHIP CONCEPTS ARE JUST GIMICS. This is where the game wants to be a better game than it really is. A lot of survival games (especially those built around a “survive the night” zombie mechanic) have a split day/night cycle where the players are out gathering resources during the day and hunkered down in their bunker at night to avoid the nocturnal terrors. Living with a volcano that erupts every 36 minutes, one would think that this would be an especially trying event. Except it’s barely an inconvenient that results in a-minute-long time out for everyone. Add to it that there is no compelling reason given by the game play mechanics to try to push being above ground for as long as possible, and the timeout does not even rate as an annoyance. Likewise, the drillship is not a mobile base in the same sense as with games like Raft, Space Engineers, and Empyrion. Instead, it is just a quick travel mechanic given the illusion of a mobility through a minigame. (Similar to moving between areas in both Diablo 2 and 3, except you must navigate a maze when switching areas.) So, instead of being able to drive this tank around both the surface and underground while battling other drillships, it is a “hold on, Jimmy’s in the pilot seat and we have to wait for him to finish the game”, which cannot be fun for the other players in multiplayer.

In an alpha state I loved the game, but it is obvious it is an alpha.

The overall gameplay is solid, a few bugs here and there but nothing major.

My only real complaint is I don't see much replay value with the content that is currently in the game, however the devs are great people listening to community feedback and applying new features.

Within a year or two I reckon this game will be amazing, but for anyone buying, you are buying an alpha- a great alpha, but a more investment buy than a full game right now.

this game is incredible especially to play with a friend
advise don't start the game on hard because the tutorial quests really help
also its unique and well made for a new company

Looking forward to the combat update, but even without it, the game has been great. Always had stuff to do, can go about doing things a few ways, always feels like i'm making progress, and or fighting something. There's a few things i'd like to see improved, animations for one. looking forward to see how the game improves, i think the combat update will do a lot of the game though. Would recommend, despite a slightly confusing intro, you can get into the swing pretty easily.

Soooo I read some of the poor reviews and decided I was going to buy it anyways :D

#1 This games tutorial is easy to follow. Easy to work with and if you're familiar with survival type games very quick to catch on. If you do not like reading at all... by that 1 or two small sentences about 4 words or less. I suppose you should go back to playing mine craft.

#2 The devs really have put a lot of work into this game I'm assuming they will do more. You do travel underground but as stated before you pop back out at certain cave points.

Neither of those points made were even justifiably good reasons not to play the game or buy it.
------------------

Its fun really easy to get into I've only played single player.

First person camera does not make me motion sick ( praise to the devs because most fps get me motion sick)

Graphics are epic and your whole damn base looks badass mobs are cool to fight and combat is pretty streamlined.

Overall give the game 4.5 stars there are small things i'd love to see but nothing that makes this game horrible. If you like survival games pick this up its awesome

Honestly this game is awesome, The devs have done a great job with it so far, they communicate well in the patch notes and updates and keep you informed on the development updates, my buddy and i completed the game over 2 sessions in around 10 hours or so, We will be going back through it again on a harder difficulty and with our new found knowledge of automation we will try complete it faster.

The only notes i have playing through this game are below
1. Ammunition types currently there are 3 different ammo types but i hope they implement more for the other weapons as the only way we were able to deal with super tanky weapons is with the end game Gatling gun which i suppose is the point but i wanted to double barrel shotgun / Revolver these COG bots

2. The content is great and its a fun game to dive into however id love to see more of it, my buddy and i got to the point where we had effectively completed the game and were reluctant to finish it off because we didn't want it to end. maybe an endless game mode or more depth to the game / tiers and upgrades etc.

3. Additional fuel source modules would be cool a way to make maybe batteries that you can store inside the ship and solar panels that you can use to charge the bats when on the surface etc as late game coal power becomes an inhibit on your progress.

All in all id say a strong 9/10 with the only adding point being more depth to the game to have a bigger replay-ability / continual play

so i have put almost 10 hours into this game. I think it's a good game it has enough content in it right now to play for a bit but not for too long because after a while you hit a wall of you have maxed out your drill train and have maxed items such as all the different weapons and crafting station. the game as of right not isnt too difficult but i have a lot of hope that the game will get better. i hope they add mod support (i know its on their roadmap) because in my opinion this is a prime game for mods and such. as well new tiers of the drill train and other stuff. having some sort of thing to always work on and work for is key in a game like this and currently after you get the 4th car its kind of just it you can max out the slots on your drill but after you do that its just you sitting waiting for the volcano to erupt fighting some bots. i found that the bot raids (i dont know if there are actually raids or just random partys that come to the drillship i know npc raids are on the roadmap i just dont know if they are in the game or not) on your drill were lacking even on the hard mode. i know this game is still being worked on and i know that the devs are doing a lot im not saying anything bad about the game it is a great game as of where it is i just hope for more updates to really get me back into the game. i am glad that they are working on new enemies and new animations. i believe that mod support in these types of games keeps the fan base coming back even when there are content droughts when the devs are working on something big or when a small dev team is working on the next update. i know the dev team for this game is small and i have full faith that they will make a great game i just hope they don't drop it like other games i have seen small dev teams drop. i fully recommend this game.

It is an interesting concept but the tutorial is half assed and there is no clear instruction on how to progress. It took our co-op group over an hour of googlefoo, discussion pages, wiki, and youtube videos to figure out how to get the next drill segment. I hope they put more time into developing it and making it a little more streamline but I probably wont play more until that happens.

Very underwhelming, you can't actually move with the drill ships, they pop up and spawn above ground on certain fixed places were you then can explore the world on foot, which is equally underwhelming. I feel a bit scammed about the game mechanics from the videos and screenshots on steam.

I waited too long for the refund because i wanted to play it with a friend (IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT MR. AUSTRIAN) this is one of those really bad games you really want to refund.

I don't leave many reviews.. The state of the game is almost unplayable for a single player in normal mode. I like that there are spawners on cog drillships now, but when you go to attack a higher tier you need to have your ENTIRE inventory full of explosives, ammo, and medkits to even have a slight chance of fighting it. I haven't played this multiplayer yet, but from how it feels, it seems like there isn't any scaling for how many players are in the game. Maybe just tweak the spawn rate according to how many players are in the game, and maybe tweak the accuracy of cogs a touch. They feel just a little TOO accurate, there's no point to trying to evade any shots because they are going to hit you 95% of the time. That all being said, I love the concept of this game, the execution of it just needs a couple taps with a wrench.

If your a fan of the standard crafting survival game, this game offers a fun twist with the mobile drilling base.

The game is rough around the edges but has potential to be a really great entry in the genre, the developers have plans to continue supporting the game and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with it.

Funnily enough, I found this through TikTok as it kept coming up on my FYP.
The game seems to have a lot of potential, and so much room to expand and it does seem like the developers are wanting to deliver a great gaming experience!

The Good:
- Visually inspiring
- Original
- Little bit of everything; combat (think Subnautica, with guns); crafting; exploring; surviving and so on
- Interactive tutorial (though could be minimally improved)
- Steampunk!

The Bad:
- Limited tutorial, but hopefully will be improved as the game goes on
- The crafting system UI is a little clunky*
- Too much open space, no world filling
- Cog enemies stand to be shot posing no challenge unless difficulty is increase

* The crafting UI: When trying to repair a breach, usually players will look for green, so when you click on a breach or repair a breach, it should show up as a wall if you have the repair module, however, if you do not have the module but have other modules such as a refinery or door etc... it builds that instead, making it a little award.

On the whole, I recommend this game. It is pretty, it can be entertaining at times but obviously everyone's opinion takes different when playing.

Even though I wish this were a game of travelling underground first person view other than navigating with a GUI on a 2 Dimensional surface, its a really cool and smooth game filled with dangers and worries
the enemy's aren't hard even though I've only been on easy difficulty since the game is getting a data reset soon (or if it already came through, I dont follow up on the game much)
but the game is really good for an early access.
I recommend it completely!

I like what I've played so far. The devs 'get' the whole Steampunk thing - the drillship is a Jules Verne creation come to clanking, hissing life. Combat's a bit primitive right now, but I'm feeling the same way as I did when I played Subnautica in early access, and that's in no way a bad thing. Will re-review as development progresses.

I would say currently only buy this on a really good sale. Not buggy, smooth controls but not a lot of content or survival & crafting options. This is a game to keep your eye on right now because it has it's own originality to bring to the survival game table. Just not enough content for the price or a small sale imo. I feel it has a lot of potential and I like its different take on the survival type genre, but I preferred the game raft immensely over this which is also in its early game stages. I give it a thumbs up because I think its worth a good sale price, and worth a closer look when more time passes.

AWESOME and hope they get more weapons, like a rifle, and more i will think about, also after completing the game, you should be able to keep exploring, killing cogs, and keep upgrading your drillship and adding segments and maybe even adding more islands that you would have to go to and do the same thing

Definitely recommended!

Pros:
- we (a team of two) had no glitch (except for the network, see below): early access does not mean buggy this time;
- the mechanics is varied but not too fancy: interesting but not too distracting
- the co-op MP adds a lot of fun
- graphics, sound, etc. are nice, with the light steam-punk touch adding colour without becoming a distraction.
Con:
- The contents is limited; still, finishing the story took us around 10 - 12 hours, which makes for slightly more than 1 € per hour: hard to beat! The devs are quite present and active, and they are working on adding to the story, though.
- In MP, the network is at times unstable with occasional spikes of very high latency, but we had no real connection break-down.

Thumb up!

This game still has a ways to go, not everything is perfect and there is still a ton of room for improvement. I found the campaign to be overly short (though judging by their trello it looks like they plan on extending it) and other weird things such as the enemies never missing. That being said, it seems to still be under active development so most of the flaws will hopefully go away. The core gameplay loop is fun, and has only been improved by the recent implementation of multiplayer. All in all, if you have the patience to wait for them to iron out the bugs, i'd say it's worth the cost.

Volcanoids is an EA Survival game in a steampunk setting, which while it can be rough round the edges,
it has good potential & a promising and fulfilling roadmap . Note that all my playtime was in Co-Op mode.

You play as a member of the last surviving humans after earth was hit by multiple natural hazards,
your objectives being mining resources, crafting materials, stealing & upgrading drillships, fighting Robots,
all those while taking cover from constantly upcoming volcano erruptions.

- Pros
~ Tutorial & starting objectives are really helpful and explanatory, making this game and its mechanics easy to understand & grasp.
~ Beautiful and detailed drillships with a good amount of features, pretty cinematics and camera angles while they emerge/submerge.
~ One of the best volcano Eruption events i ever played in a video game, its really beautiful to watch (even at the cost of your own life) and can get really tense to take cover from.
~ Good amount of crafts & updates
~ Really nice periscope view while going underground
~ Tons of fun with a friend

Cons
~ Needs some better optimazation, some landmarks causes FPS Drops
~ While the Volcano Erruption and the drillships, as stated above, are trully beautifully crafted, i can't say the same
for the characters and some terrair. Animations need work , movement feels a bit stiff.
~ The Robot AI needs improvement, most of the times they just run straight at you and shoot.
~ When your drillship is low on ammo or your inventory is full and under some other circumstances, there is a notification sound
which i personally found annoying and it hits you 1-2 per minute until you do whats indicated. There should be an option to turn it off.
~No ability to manually drive the drillship , you just click on locations and it takes you on auto drive.
~ NOT procedurally generated map , its the same everytime.

All in all , i easily sunk my first hours in the game without realizing how they got passed,
had a blast learning game's curve and had quite a few laughs, so that's a yes from me.
Also they re soon adding online PVP , am so looking forward to that since its my cup of tea.

Totally recommended to try it out, especially if you're a steampunk geek!

Fun game to play in co-op. Not that long. We (two players) needed about 19.5 h. Looking forward for more content.

As a much older gamer, and veteran of many survival games, I am always wary of early access titles. I watched this one and waited for the Co-Op update. The developers Trello roadmap looks exciting, so a friend and I took the plunge. After 24 odd hours we are having a total blast! This really is a tremendous amount of fun. The learning curve is very steep, but perseverance is well rewarded. the crafting and upgrade system is deliciously complex and rewarding, as you gradually upgrade the drill's various components and modules to face tougher environments and enemies. The maps are huge, and the travel system suits the game very well. The combat system is simplistic, but oddly satisfying, as you blow angry robots into chunks with a variety of weapons (The handheld mortar is hilarious) and loot their smouldering corpses. I would say we are about one third through the game, and have slowed our progress on purpose to keep the fun going as long as we can. If you enjoyed Ark:Survival, The Forest, 7 Days etc you will love this one.

TL;DR STEAMPUNK ROBOT SLAUGHTER IN A GIANT DRILL/TANK. PLAY IT.

Its decently fun at first. After the first hour or two it becomes super repetitive. Kill robots, upgrade modules, kill harder robots with better bullets.

Been playing co-op for the last several hours and I have to say that this is one of the most fun survival/base building games I have played in years. It's the simple things that make it great too. Co-op, upgrading your drillship, crafting methods, resource management and placement of modules. You have to really plan out and tinker with your build in order to make sure there is line of sight for turrets, while ensuring enough storage and power generation. 10/10 suggest anyone that enjoys co-op games give this a shot.

It was stable so far. It's a fun little world. It still needs some polish (that activating a box and transferring all items you have into it is both on the letter 'E' means you'll be fishing your inventory out of random boxes and corpses a lot, you pick up stuff and have no idea what it was because there is no text description during pick-up.

Also, I'm a bit worried that the password validates as I type ... that implies they're either sending the password to whoever is trying to join an instance, or constantly sending messages back to check my half-written password. Both seem a bit insecure (what if I start writing the wrong password, then that went over the line needlessly. I hope they'll have someone skilled review their security before they ship.

Only reviewing for single player because I'm not a multiplayer kind of gamer.

Story is basic and mostly there to help you figure out and progress through the mechanics.
It's not going to make you think too hard, and there isn't really any lore that explains the world/setting.

I'm was really here for the drillship bases!
Building the ship is fun, but figuring out how pieces fit around in the beginning was difficult. I somehow missed that things could go on the ceiling for a few hours and things were getting crowded.

I beat the game on easy in about 10 hours.
I do recommend this game even just for the single player mode!
It was enjoyable for the cost/time that I got from it, and if you play co-op I'm sure you'll get double that.
The game shows some original mechanics that I'd to see where the developer goes with it in the future.

I want to like this game I really do. The concept and gameplay have promise, but at the moment thats all that it feels like to me. Promise.

My main gripe is that the enemies dont miss. This would be fine since it only takes a little HP away except for the fact that you cant reliably shoot them until your within their range. This was not an issue for me until I got the 'quests' that want me to invade the enemy drill ships where they keep spawning every... 15-30 seconds from each spawner and there are around 2 spawners in each section. Finally realized that you can destroy them, but even so you have to weather 2-3 waves of spawns to get to where you can destroy them. this means that for a t2 enemy ship I die before I can take it out. Then when I go to retrieve my backpack I cant because somehow despite destroying all the spawners there is now a swarm of enemies around where I died. I will play the game again (and change my review) if one of three things happens.
1. Reliable ranged weapon to take out the random enemies in the overworld (once its close quarters you will still get hit but you wont be 'carrying' as much damage from the outside)
2. Armor to reduce the amount of damage down to a manageable level
3. Anything else that will change the interaction and make it less punishing or more manageable

$15 is too much for this. Lackluster, felt corny, lots of graphic errors, and a revolver that has the same range as a sniper rifle...WITH NO RECOIL. Wanted to like it, but no.

I don't hate the game

Thats not why i'm giving it thumbs down (again blame steam for not giving a 'mixed' option). Its fun, good concept, buts Its got that heavy coating of early early access.

Notable things to mention

The drill ship has set spawns
The map is not procedural. Same one everytime
You cannot build your own drill ship. You have to steal it and, in the early game, you can steal a drill ship that is loaded with technology, taking the fun out of 'building from scratch.'
You can 'beat' the game (theres even an achievement for doing it in under 7 hours).
Drill ship has limited expansion (restrictive playground essentially)
No incentive to continue playing after beating the game. I can only upgrade so much and I can only add like 2 extra section to my drill ship. Why bother?

Needs a LOT more Content

Drill ship needs to be tweaked and endgame content is needed, similar to Minecraft. Give players the ULTIMATE power of creativity. Essentially, near infinite 'endgame.' Sorry

This game is in early access, sure, but it is probably one of the best steampunk/survival games I have ever seen and played in my entire life, and that is saying a lot.

It has a decent grinding curve, beautiful graphics, and very active developers which are ironing out the bugs.

P.S. Someone named Tiereian or something said that you can’t dig with the drillship, on a map or anything. However, since the travel update, that has been proven untrue. So if ya see this, just know that you can in fact use the drillship.

It's hard to overstate the amount of potential this game has. It's been a lot of fun even in it's current, rather raw, state. If they keep working on it, it could become a real gem.

The shooter parts stood out as something that could use the most improvement:
- AI: There's only one tactic the enemies have: run towards you, and shoot. And there's only one tactic you can use to counter them: shoot back, duck, reload, repeat. And it's not very clear whether you're safe behind cover or not
- Enemy variety. They differ only in color and strength. Difference in weapons, abilities, or behavior would make things a lot more interesting

That said, the base building and raiding is very satisfying. Not sure if everybody will find it worth it's price at it's current state, but I'm not regretting my purchase,

It's an interesting game. Design your own drill ship and go hide from a volcanic explosion. Eliminate some robots while destroying their drill ships for parts.

+ Designing your own drill ship is fun. How you design it has impact on how easy it is to do things and gives you some nice personalization to your drill ship.
+ Combat can be fun and hectic.
+ 3 tiers of stuff to go through gives a decent amount of content.

- Quests are nothing more than tutorials.
- Balance is off badly. Some weapons feel useless and you can get a ton of easy resources by just mining through the safe underground. This is likely to change.
- The game can get pretty repetitive, pretty quickly. Some fun new activities on the horizon though.
- The inventory system is pretty bad. You require quite a bit of ammo and healing items to invade an enemy ship and most enemy ships have so much loot that even gathering only the useful stuff can generally lead to a full inventory extremely quickly.
- Waiting around for an explosion when you don't have much to do can be annoying.

At A Glance:
definitely still a early access, mechanics are well though out but still rough. still that being said it is a great game with a quarky and memorable style that is refreshing.

A bit more:
even with the quick dropping start it still had easily learnable gameplay mechanics.
great sound effects, not too intense but not too dull.
really novel approach to the whole open world grind style of game which was a nice.
the graphics are pretty good and the system to drive and surface add a lot of immersion into the game.

some things that I've noticed so far:

- not super optimized I noticed fps jumping around a majority of the time
- random graphical glitching through stuff, not as bad as say no man sky or pubg when they first launched but still noticeable most of the time it is just the corner of the object being clipped through by the player.
- first tutorial could be better explained, especially as time goes on and the game becomes more complex. I found myself a good bit confused until I figured out what all the different parts and modules do.
-AI could be better the enemy seems to just do a random search until it finds a player owned thing then it engages with that thing that it has found. doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. for instance if you come up to an enemy drillrig and the have turrets/power plants/storage/and production modules the logical progression would be take out the turrets then raid then disable equipment to prevent from rebuilding. or take out the power to stop the turrets then raid and take out production to prevent rebuilding. the AI tends to just go for whatever is closest. it would be cool if the AI would be more competitively opportunistic with it's targeting.

overall I would recommend this game, because it is quarky and kind of steampunk, kind of it's own thing but draws from something familiar. Idk It's pretty cool and definitely worth the $20 if nothing else it will be interesting to see how far it progresses in the future.

By the time I'm writing this, the game is still under very heavy development, and it's FANTASTIC.
You get to command a Vernian(as in Jules Verne, you know the guy?) Drill Ship with fully customizable controls to manage your production modules and defenses, while also leading the assault on your own! There's a LOT, and I mean like 80% of the game plan to be implemented, multiplayer apparently, dozens of variations... You can have fun right now, you can even end the game, but it's very far from being the final version! I'm on my 4th playthrough, no regrets from playing so early!

I absolutely love this game. It's unique, it's charming, it's hard in all the right ways, and easy in all the right ways. Every time there's an update, the game just keeps getting better and better.

The AI of the Cog is getting better every patch, and the new additions of all the controls and dials make the 'ship look amazing inside!

It is a bit hard to understand at first, but man is it fun once you start to understand everything!
Clankers and cogs, drillships and raiding those drillships... oh man is it oh so fun!
Though it can have a bit of a learning curve, and slightly handholdy quests, I would still recommend it.

It's a neat idea but in its early days. Feels very rough and is often confusing. It's a real 'early access' game that still needs a lot of work.

GOOD
- Ship customization and building is there and it's somewhat complex
- Devs are very 'hands-on' on the project

BAD
- Fantastic concept but it feels very limited and small-scale. I wish you were able to travel long distances, uncover new biomes etc. I hoped travelling will take time etc.
- Gunplay is just awful. Unresponsive, rigid and sticky.
- UI and most importantly UX is terrible. It feels like the interface was designed by developers - not a dedicated designer.
- Gameplay is repetitive, at least at the time of this review
- Enemies never miss. You get overrun very quickly.
- No real motivation to explore the world (everything feels the same) or upgrade your ship
- A lot of guesswork is involved to figure out how the machines work
- Although I like the 'budget' way to explore the world (a 2D map where you move your ship around, underground) it's very unattractive and feels half-assed at the moment.
- Sound design is very basic. Not sure why the ship sounds like a diesel but burns coal to fuel generators.

There's a lot of work ahead. Hope they don't drop the ball!

Its a decent game an interesting play. While this game does many things well, It never really does anything great. The combat is a bit clunky and certainly not balanced, the game ends up getting repetative, and never do you really feel like a giant drillship pilot. The game just sort of spreads itself a tad too thin. It almost feels just hastily made and released. So many aspects of the game could just be... optimized I suppose. Overall its a solid 6/10. Yes worth a buy and wasting some time, but nothing special. Grab it during a discount and sink some hours in but otherwise save your cash for something more refined.
