Dawn of Defiance

Hi! I really like your game and I spent many hours playing it. It’s weirdly cozy, and astoundingly beautiful. I played it all on single player and had no problem. I was pretty afraid at the beginning, but was a steamroller by the end. Funnily enough I enjoyed the landscape and feeling connected to the earth so much that I actually audibly cried Nooo!! Whatt?? When I learned that ||we can fly. Then on the big island, I learned flying was as integral to the landscape as hooves to a goat.|| Simple ideas for the Devs for improvements: 1. People like to base near water since its scenic. But not near the ocean as this effectively halves your resource reach. I bet most people are based at that little lake. With limited missions, we spend much of our time basing. Maybe give us motivation to build camp elsewhere by adding some random springs or creeks to the meadows? 2. Why not have the NPC speakers talk like ancient Greeks? Like Homer. The Merchant, Jason, are not redolent of their milleu. Here are some metaphors and epithets I transcribed from the Butler translation: Do you eat fruit of the earth (are you a mortal or god?) Hector leapt with a face as dark as flying night Poseidon had kept no blind lookouts Like a falcon bane of doves Spear of Pelion ash Teeth a silver trap With fell intent The father of all balanced his golden scales and placed a doom in each of them, There are no pacts between lions and men Till one shall fall and glut grim Ares with his lifeblood Dogs not fire shall devour the flesh of hector Saffron mantled dawn His heart was black with rage and his eyes flashed fire There in he gathered his clouds together grasped his trident stirred it round in the sea and roused the rage of every wind that blows the earth till earth sea and sky were one A dust raised upon the plain as they flew “so true is it that the gods do not grace all men alike in speech and understanding.” -best odysseus diss Smote the gray sea with their oars Enjoy the boon of sleep The court beyond is full of ghosts trooping down into the night of hell “Dogs, did you think that I should not come back from Troy? You have wasted my substance, forced my womanservants to lie with you, and have wooed my wife while I was still living. You have feared neither god nor man, and now you shall die.” He smote the earth with his forehead in the agonies of death 3. Maybe make the other biomes somewhere you would want to stay after beating their bosses? The dark forest feels cold, and the desert empty and repellant. I quickly abandoned my bases there after completion. This limits you to spending your sandbox-time in a small area of the map. 4. Maybe armor paints which are a bit more natural? Or craft dyes to let us pick the fabric/feather color specifically? I still find bronze looks the best and thematic. 5. Easy enough to call it an amphora or a kylix instead of a vase (deco). Every little ceramic shape has a name. It buffs the credibility of the game a lot to hear them, and maybe it will teach us too. This you can look up on a diagram. https://www.hellenic-art.com/hellenipedia/greek-pottery-glossary/ 6. All I ask, if my literary list is any help is: can you put the forest crickets sound, in the music box or so? ty. I like to hear them in my base on the meadows, calms me down; the sound dissipates when away from trees. But no less realistic to hear them in the grass. Anyway, thank you very much, and I am looking forward to future content. -a historian and archaeologist

Might be the worst survival craft game i have ever played, janky af, buggy af, does things that defy logic, gaming conventions, and normal survival game mechanics, oh and they just laugh at bugs likely because they have no clue how to fix them like you respawning stuck inside your bed. At this stage stay clear away from this hot mess, there is a slim chance they could fix it but doesn't honestly seem likely.

A bit vanilla as far as survival games go until you reach the raids. The raids seem to be a bit more of a unique function within the game and provide a great experience along with a much welcome break from the normal tree punching and bush grabbing. QoL is mostly up to modern standards but its still missing that wonderful touch of automation once you get into the later game. Gathering things by hand is great and all but a player shouldn't be expected to revisit material stockpiling after a certain point if they were wise enough to be able to set up a basic logistic system with automation. My suggestion would be a system of thrall recruitment with resource gathering options. Development is painfully slow but as I have only started playing it again after 2 years it seems progress is being made and so far it's great. I just hope I can play the finished product before I hit retirement age. 8/10 would bonk angry chickens again.

Unfortunately this game is dei slop all you need do is go to character creator to confirm. No thanks.

Everything feels a bit 'off'. Movement, building, combat, "gliding"(flying) all feel very clunky. I'm seeing a lot of things incorporated into this game (many of the things that I enjoy from other games in this genre) that just don't hit the same level. Roughly stated, gameplay/mechanics are much better in those other games than with this one. I'll give this an A for effort, but a C for execution. I've neither the time nor patience to devote to this game at this time. I hope it improves with further development and will revisit after early access.

Not a complete game, can be defeated maybe in like 10 hrs or less, its to be continued...... Only good to go into 'creative mode' and build your dream house, thats about it. Also alot of bugs and janky and laggy at random. Not worth its full price, maybe $5 would be worth it, unless you just like building, though the combat is pretty simple which is a plus. They need major updates, its been two years since it came out and not tons of progress, 2 'raids' stupid timed puzzles, and idiotic mazes in the last 'raid'

The first puzzle on the water symbol - dumbest set up ever! Tried like 20 times to get onto the torch and do the downward strike (which does not activate very easily). Gave up and exited the game - DONE

I've only just started, but its very realistic; considering the theme. It has a beautiful story line so far, all the greek myth you could want. You can essentially never die if you want, keep your items or drop if you die, and even do it hardcore where you lose everything if you die! I love playing with infinite health and building tons fo stuff! It has stuff for everyone!
