EverRail

the premise is great. I dont mind its an indie low budget visuals and mechanics. I refunded for two reasons: 1. its grilling my 4080 super and there are no options that could make it stop grilling. 2. after 40 min I could clearly see theres not enough to it. unfortunatelly

The game isn't bad, but the developer's strange manic obsession with turning the player into an insatiable cadaver that has to be fed every 10–15 minutes so it doesn't starve to death—that's not normal. The game already has a fair number of mechanics and activities, but some of them suffer because of the hunger issues. For example, you can't fly far from the train on a glider, because for some reason you can't eat while on the glider, and after 15 minutes the character will die of hunger. So all the upgrades for glider range and cargo capacity are useless—you still can't actually make use of them. Apparently, in one of the patches they added the option to adjust hunger in the settings, but for some reason they severely capped the lower limit, making the setting essentially pointless. In another patch, they added an auto-feeder with a limited number of uses. It's just a weird fixation on eternal insatiability. Игра неплохая, но странное маниакальное желание разработчика сделать игрока ненасытным кадавром, которого надо кормить каждые 10-15 минут, чтобы он не сдох от голода - это не нормально. В игре уже прилично количество механик и активностей, но некоторые страдают из-за проблем с голодом. Например на глайдере далеко от поезда улететь не получится, потому что в глайдере почему-то нельзя есть, а через 15 минут персонаж сдохнет от голода. То есть все улучшения на дальность и грузоподъемность глайдера бесполезны, ты все равно их реализовать не сможешь. Вроде в одном из патчей прикрутили в настройках возможность настраивать голод, но почему-то сильно ограничили нижнюю планку, из-за чего настройка бесполезна по сути. В очередном патче прикрутили автокормушку на ограниченное число срабатываний. Какая-то странная фиксация на вечной ненасытности.

I am giving this game a good review, based on my hour long playthrough and the idea that the dev will continue updating and adding to it. It is based on a very interesting concept and has potential. But it also needs a lot of work to be fun. What the game needs: 1) More than just one biome. Players need more to look at than a white backdrop 2) Oasis in the snow that have geothermal vents to charge the train. Players need a break from the timers 3) Some kind of wildlife POI. We need more than just ration packs 4) External events. Obstacles on the tracks. Riding through bandit camps. Robots attacking the train. Beyond all this, I think the player needs additional real world objectives. The train/energy mechanic is interesting, but it would be better if there were substation POIs where clearing them out and restoring power would have a permanent effect on the track in that area. Perhaps not consuming power, recharge faster, or deplete slower. This would be difficult to implement on an infinite procedural map, however. Looking forward to see what may become of this game. As it stands now though, its playable but bland, and the game loop appears to get repetitive quickly.

EverRail has an interesting concept and is definitely a change of pace for the survival genre, but it overwhelms that concept with too many systems that need constant attention. Instead of making me excited to survive and progress, it makes survival feel tedious

1st, I wanna say this game can have good potential if dev really focus on balancing/testing there thing instead of just throwing it in there. Cause that's what It really feel like. I know it's EA, but comeon, there is adjustement to make and nonesense that make you wonder what It was there in the 1st place. The concept is nice, but how it is right now, it's totally not enjoyable. Even with the custom setting (the crutial one are not there) it make the game very very very annoying to play. So I do not recommand in it's state. wait till they fix the issue that should'nt have been an issue in the 1st place. Energy: you have to be on constant move for crafting. the crafting energy cost for a little thing drain your battery very fast. The train will recharge relatively fast, but it need to always move. So you'll be missing on alots of POI or needing to go backward/forward. Yes the game is infinite so you can just ignore and always go forward. But it's not fixing the issue. Some earlier recipe almost require you to have full charge to make a single item (2/4 MG/Wh) and more advance take twice your starting battery capacity.... You want to make a pistol 3. welp need to craft a single Alloy that require that 10 of this and this one need 10 of this aswell. It will cost you about 10MGWhr just to craft the gun and all its component. Can't wait to see the cost of the lvl 5 guns :/ Food: welp, you eat every 8-10 min 3-4 pieces of food you craft in the laboratory that took 2 normal ration each to craft. Equivalent of 9-12 ration you need to loot each 8-10 min. All passenger only eat 1 ration per about 30 min. So add that to the count. Not to mention you have to keep your train moving while crafting. so while that, no looting. Want to build in the train, well better not waste time as you'll ran out of food. There is no farming and no food slider option in the game. Its way off balanced. Your passenger eat 1 equivalent ration in 30 min while you have to eat equivalent of 21-26 per 30 min. Storage and building: The storage is so small due to the very small stack size(20 in general)(100 ammo/bolt). I eand up throwing almost throwing everything, because what I need is food. Scrap metal I have to much I don't loot anymore. and wire... its everywhere and I barelly use that at this state. NOW on the fun part. a small storage take about 2 width in space. the medium one, I kidd you not, it's about 6-8+ time wider and wait for it... it only add one row. it also take about half a side of a wagon, is 6 time bigger than a small one with only 2 row? Who designed that AI? The building is also so huge for nothing. some take 2 story high other don't so plan accordingly. The glider loadout building is glitched, There is some space between wall and building, so you cannot place a central floor panel. Completelly killing the 2nd story on that wagon. Every building is so big, that alots of thing are not compatible nor has space to build next to it. especially on the 2 1st waggon you have. some pipe on the wall blocking building access and the expedition wagon having about 8 loadout pod. while 7 aren't accessible if you play solo, but still there to take useless place (not accessible) then remove them please! Everything that is undeletable on the 1st and 2nd waggon could have been put on 1 wagon and left all the other one emptied and ready to be built on without having stuff blocking building in the middle of the train. The idea is great, but right now, it's way out of balance and even with the slider option. Crafting is bad, power management is bad, and the build on your train are too big and some make no sense to craft since they take way to much place than you benefit. In fact you downgrade x6 time while (upgrading) in size. Not sure how they haven't realized that. Look like it was generated by AI and a few command was forgotten and none of it got tested to see if it make sense. Why does a building that is 6-8x bigger only add twice capacity. Seriously, if a dev read this, answer me how this can be possible to implement stuff like that. EA is not an excuse for thing like that. You cannot add an upgraded storage that is 6x worst that the previous version.... seriously. I'll keep an eye out for update, but this game is totally shelved until devs really start to balance stuff up.

EverRail immediately reminded me of the TV series Snowpiercer, and that's a big compliment. The combination of keeping your train running, managing energy, and building up your mobile base creates a unique and engaging gameplay loop. I also enjoyed the extraction-style mechanics, where you have limited time to raid enemy bases and gather as much loot as possible before heading back. My only criticism is that the looting can become a bit repetitive. The enemy bases I've explored so far look very similar and feature the same enemies. Hopefully this becomes more varied as you progress further into the game. Overall, EverRail has a fresh concept with a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how it evolves.

Für einen Solo Player sehr heftig 4 Dinge die gleichzeitig auf einen zukommen. Du hast nicht mal genug Zeit dir Gedanken zu machen wo baue ich was, weil du unter Zeitdruck stehst und der Zug nach ca. 8-10 Minuten in die Luft fliegt, wenn der sich nicht bewegt. Dann kannst du den nicht einfach mal fahren lassen das der sich auflädt und du was bauen kannst. Warnung hier Warnung da. Dann verhungert. Du hast so viele Anzeigen da weisst du nicht wo man drauf gucken soll. Und dann zum Schluss beendet sich das Spiel ohne irgendwelche hinweise. Momentan nicht zu empfehlen.

单人体验会比较差 有个多人模式数值就放飞自我了，最普通的电池要2.2K同位素，二级电池要1w，想要同位素就得去玩滑翔翼，滑翔翼手感又很差，还必须得停车玩，转一圈收益又不多，我现在二级滑翔翼紫球多的地方一圈才能转1K左右 单人模式默认车充满电只有12分左右的探险时间，除去对枪和路上的时间基本一个人没法探完最小的地下城 车里一共才多大地方，制作台和箱子嫩大一个，箱子格子又少，叮叮咣咣两三个车厢来回跑真的很好玩，说到这个叮叮咣咣，不知道是我的原因还是什么，总感觉脚步声在玩家身后 战斗体验，枪械手感几乎没有，甚至连换弹都要看一眼换没换上，地下城只要不自带灯，怪就和背景和尸体融为一体了，还有非常神秘的远程减伤机制 另外刚创建世界的时候有别的火车购买选项，我原本以为是DLC，结果点了购买跳商店主页，还以为DLC锁区，结果一查根本没上DLC，神秘的很 非常非常神秘的地方，存档的时间是乱的，在7.21 0:00存的档，保存时间是7.21 8:00，这个时间即不是现实时间，也不是游戏内时间，推测是我这里是UTC+8的原因 另外截至到现在，一共玩了4个小时，遇到的bug包括但不限于卡英文无法交互，带滑翔翼拆装备台多卡一个，任务不计数，滑翔翼起飞后无捕网 把数值和滑翔翼的手感改一下，我觉得我还能玩

Unique Game. A moving train is your base. When the train is moving, it generates power for your base so your goal is to get the charge close to 100% before exiting the train to explore and loot. Before exiting the train, you must gear up and prepare for your expedition which is only as long as you have power on the train. Once the train runs out of power, it's game over so you need to make sure you are back to the train and you get the train moving before the time runs out. It's essentially an extraction type game. You leave the train, explore, loot and kill and then return to the train where you will upgrade and go out again. Two things that can kill you is the cold outside or hunger. You can unlock better suits that keep you warm so you can stay out longer. Food is easy to come by, The world is pretty massive and there is a lot of content in this game. Enemies I've seen so far are just robots who shoot back at you but they seem stupid and are easily killed. For the price, I'd would say get this game. At first, it can seem like a lot to learn but once you get going, it's a lot of fun. Oh, and did I mention your train can spit out a glider that you can fly around in?
