Heat Death: Survival Train

Fundamental issues with the gameplay loop. :(

so far it's amazing ......unforgiving at times.......but still, a kickass adventure!

Замечательная игра про строительство и выживание в холоде. Есть возможность полутать, построить и пострелять.

Its pretty neat. It's still a bit rough, though (still early access). For example, there was no clear indication how many heaters (once unlocked) are needed to save you from a popsicle death. I turned one on as I was freezing...and still died. So I had to run back and grab the second one I had and that seemed to work. Is two heaters per space the sweet spot? Do they take time to heat up? It is a mystery. A big bottleneck is the blueprints. There's a finite amount you can find per stop. You might be able to salvage some from destroyed drones but that can be risky. You'll get to a point where you have to do like some cost/benefit type decisions on what to unlock. Add to this items that you, as far as I can tell, can only find but not craft like power cores. So if you're running low on power trying to get through that early bit where you get accosted by drones and don't have enough stuff to make any generators or battery banks (or not enough blueprints to unlock what you need)...well, I guess you'll die. Some other observations: -the canisters for stickers still appear to be finite but they let me put DON KNOTTS and 69420 on my train which I think makes up for it -the track is slightly raised which requires a jump so if you're carrying too much and can't jump you can't get back to your train unless you start poopin out excess material -god the walkspeed is slowwww

The demo had promise, but the current game state is, Well, Boring. Very repetitive, Verry little lore to bring you into the game. The upgrades are hard fought if you can even find the materials. It got Bland very quick for me.

I like the simplicity yet difficulty of the game. Very addicting. 2 BIG thumbs up.
