Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.71/day in the week to Aug 25 → 0.86/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
History:
Alien invaders invaded the planet, exterminating most of the population, humanity, being on the verge of annihilation, united its armies and gave a serious rebuff to the enemy, bringing down all its might on him. After several years of war, the climate on the planet has changed significantly, the virus and alien particles have greatly mutated animals and humans. The military created fortifications for protection, and extraterrestrial technologies were mined, which helped create medicines and weapons, vehicles and robots. The war continues, some fortifications are fighting with each other, advancing their goals and ideas, trying to get alien artifacts with which they can move to the next stage of evolution and gain complete superiority.
The player's task is to survive in this world by helping peaceful fortifications. Collect resources and create the best weapons and equipment, fight off enemy forces and prevent the invasion of monsters from other planets.
In the game you will find:
✦ Survival in a harsh world from the first or third person perspective of a character.
✦ The lives of the surviving civilians and the activities of enemy groups.
✦ The infection of the world, mutations, many powerful creatures and Titans.
✦ Battles with alien life forms and their technology.
The world does not stand still:
✦ The longer you play, the more events, encounters, quests, and unexpected situations unfold around you.
✦ Lots of quests, plot and stories, NPC stories and adventures, interactive events in the world.
Three genres are one brutal reality. Shooter, RPG, and Horror elements.
✦ Shooter — intense shootouts where every decision can cost a life. Shoot tactically. Upgrade your hero to match your fighting style. And never forget that you are being watched.
✦ RPG mechanics — develop your character, enhance equipment, equipment, drones, turrets and robots. Influence the plot and choose your path.
✦ The atmosphere of survival and horror — the world presses, the enemies frighten, and the cold becomes a personal enemy.
✦ There is a place for real tension here. You don't just shoot — you survive, evolve, and be afraid. Every shot, every dialogue, and every rustle behind your back may be your last.
Not just survival, technology is under control.
✦ Creative freedom — create weapons, armor, equipment, and even companions.
✦ Own your own army — build robots and cyborgs that will fight on your side. Your allies don't have to be human.
✦ Technology warfare — from drones to heavy armored vehicles: everything you build works for you.
The use of technology, the creation of robots and unmanned aerial vehicles.
Do you want a drone that scouts the territory? Or a cyborg who watches your back? Everything is in your hands. In the game, you don't just survive — you create.
DNA, eggs, cubs, animals, people:
✦ Grow, tame, hire — assemble a squad to suit your style of play.
✦ Find, grow, create — find eggs, steal a baby, or extract the DNA of a monster and create a unique companion.
✦ Genetic Laboratory — use DNA samples to create new species and hybrids.
✦ Taming animals — find and tame wild or peaceful animals, they will become faithful helpers on the journey.
✦ Mercenaries — hire people who will fight on your side if you trust them with your back.
✦ Pets that grow up with you — your companions level up, learn new abilities and help in battle.
Capture → development → defense. Your fortress is underground.
✦ Capture the bunker — recapture the underground shelter from the monsters and make it your base.
✦ Development and Improvement — Build crafting machines, a laboratory, an incubator, and other modules for storing resources, companions, and transportation.
✦ Defense — build turrets, fortify entrances, strengthen walls and personally repel hordes of enemies.
✦ Automatic resource collection — send mercenaries and pets in search of loot.
There is an old bunker somewhere in the forest. It's crawling with monsters right now. Purify it and it will be yours.
Develop the shelter: Strengthen the defenses to repel the attacks of the creatures. And when you are not there, send mercenaries and pets to collect resources. The bunker lives on, even when you're in combat.
You are not alone in the world of LIFE EFFECT Survival.

玩起来挺有意思,可惜很多地方没完成,各种未开发,捡到蛋也不知道怎么孵化
Совсем Очень НЕплохо...
雇傭的NPC背著2把RPK,看到怪就喊著蘇卡開火,回營地前就宰了3隻Коготь、2隻Ксиломорф、1隻Морвух,熊狼不計其數, 你可以懷疑、質疑阿瑪萊特,但你絕對要相信卡拉希尼柯夫,就算是不是在地球也一樣!! 總之是一款很像ELEX (核心元素) 的遊戲,培養角色,刷槍製裝。 遊戲處於超早期階段,雖然是單機遊戲,但作者常常會舉辦活動。

[h2]Player Opinion Steam Review[/h2] There is too much to cover in this game! It is a well put together project that has many mechanics and systems that bring a new type of looter shooter to the players who play looter shooter and survival games. One thing I like about the game is that you can command companions and since the recent update you are able to level them as you progress.

I like the look and feel of the world and how the combat works. The monsters and the creatures remind me of a mixture of aliens and zombie type mutants. The keybinds are a bit of a handful and I feel the developers would be better off Implementing a Item wheel Ui approach. The protagonists are well designed however are limited in their ethnic diversity and this is even more noticed seeing other ethnicity Npc's in the game. The Voicelines are mainly in Russian and English subtitles. It has so much depth that you will struggle to stop playing as It is very addictive. My hours are not much to go by but have a try for yourself and see what you think.
i would like to say for starters this game is fun in it's own little way but it has a few issues that i have personally ran into that i don't know if the dev is aware now i do know this is being made by a single person and i do expect updates to be slow and some issues to exist i'll start with the first one that kind of lead to me restarting my entire save. The baby and The Pain Quest on Survival: now it could've just been my save that broke but i ran up and down that cave 3-4 times even went deeper into the acid caves without finding one baby acidic snapdragon on my last attempt i died deep inside so i restarted on the lower difficulty and got my baby acidic snapdragon so all is good tho i would like to know if what happen to me was a known issue or not. issue/bug number 2. some enemies actually get stuck on small rocks sticking out of the ground or corner rocks for small enemies it's annoying for larger ones this is handy like the murvok (sorry if i spelt it's name wrong) you can shoot it's tenticles and kill it same with the nut crackers if you lure them into a small bolder they can get wedged on it if they are long/close enough together where you can stop running and turn around then be on the offensive cuz they got stuck. those are the only issues i have had i do enjoy the fact that my allies/companions only speak russian i language i don't speak or understand so hearing them shout some stuff then fire bullets in a direction is always a enjoyable panic moment for me if i can suggest something to the dev this is just a idea feel free to turn it down but maybe make it so quest related things are forced to spawn or until it's out of early access allow us to enter a command menu and spawn in the item we need just incase the game breaks i'm not a technical girl so this is the best i can offer yeah anyways stay safe and stay sexy out there thanks for building both a beautiful and horrifying world.
Игра мне показалась интересной. Приятный геймплей с энными трудностями в начале , в виде нехваток денег , патрон , аптечками. Но потом развиваешься , делаешь горы патрон , разных расходников на свой вкус и идёшь в рейд. Интересная система наёмников , которые тебя действительно прикрывают пока ты фармишь или зачищаешь данж. Но при битве с боссом , наёмника можно потерять на всегда , если его убьют. Можно нанять нового , но без прогресса (уровня). Игра не без проблем , но критичных и мешающие геймплею очень мало. Например нырнул в воду и ушёл на дно с бетонной плитой за спиной (есть вероятность умереть от падения). В целом игра приятная , приятные впечатления, для ознакомления не дорогая. В игре есть донат , который упрощает фарм и сохраняет тебе твоё время. Понравилась игра купи випку , это упростит тебе жизнь , а разработчику подкинешь валюту.
неплохо !!! играл 40ч не нашел КРИТИЧЕСКИХ багов. чем то напоминает проекты PVE от дэйз и арма3 с модами! но в своём сеттинге и это СОЛОпроект. интересные механики с питомцами и компаньонами, неплохо проработанные локации, есть разнообразные пещеры, базы киборгов, инопланетян, сама карта лес очень огромна без автотранспорта никак, много квестов, много нпс, озвучка робота пылесоса улыбнула! . графика не фантан, но для моей мобильной 3060 совсем недурно, на мобильной 5060 игра работает на все деньги!. БОЛЬШОЙ порог вхождения, мобы жирные и приставучие! разработчик как бы специально создал условия чтоб игралось комфортнее после покупки ДОНАТной утвари! а там есть что приобрести поверте, от патрона до киберсолдата попутчика! лично я спокойно отношусь к этому, самому тоже можно всё выфармить! ИГРА В РАННЕМ ДОСТУПЕ! она очень СЫРАЯ! много НЕДОЧЕТОВ, ОПТИМИЗИРОВАНА на троечку, есть баги! игру делают энтузиасты желаю чтоб игра РАЗВИВАЛАСЬ дальше. для начинающих! ходите в бункер! есть такая локация, там много сундуков! берите отмычки всех уровней кпк для взлома и пылесосте там всё, водите туда питомцев щелкунов создавайте армию помошников, они проходят везде почти не застревают, хорошо дамажат и качаются, на босов даже не суйтесь вам отгрызут жопку за 10 секунд! компаньёнов или наёмнитков берите или покупайте только 5-6 рангов от других толку мало! на босов ходить только с полями щитами турелями дронами и с хп выше 1500 или больше. играйте, исследуйте, очень интересно!
Игра огонь! Как и во всех выживалках есть голод, еда, крафт. Есть большая карта, много локаций включая данжи. Можно выращивать мутантов и брать их с собой, доступен найм рейдеров. Большое количество квестов. Разнообразие оружие, экипировки и всяких приблуд для комфортной игры (пнв, тепловизор, радар и т.п.). Есть транспорт (пока что только машины). Разработчик молодец, трудится в поте лица, плотно взаимодействует с комьюнити (помогает, отвечает на вопросы). Отдельный респект за бар и контент в нём, хотелось бы побольше клубники!) В игре есть баги и с оптимизацией не так всё хорошо, но оно и понятно, постепенно разработчик всё правит. Желаю проекту развития, у игры огромный потенциал, а разработчику удачи и успехов в его нелёгком деле! Игра стоит своих денег, так что если нравятся выживалки, советую к покупке. Что я бы хотел видеть в игре: Добавить метки на карте, чтоб при наведении писалось, что за локация. Добавить возможность ставить метку на карте. Больше клубники в баре. Кастомизацию персонажа, кастомизацию и возможность спутникам менять снаряжение. Говорили и не раз, но всё же напишу, добавить прицелы.
Le jeu n'est absolument pas à la hauteur de son trailer on ne peut pas parler d'un early access le rechargement des armes fonctionne 1x sur 2, la carte c'est un carré, aucune personnalité, c'est d'un vide absolu on y a mis des monstres par-ci par-là ( quand ils ne sortent pas directement du sol...enfin du sol ... des textures.. une zone vide en 2 secondes se rempli ) pour mettre de la longueur sur les quêtes afin de ne pas pouvoir demander de remboursement après les 2 heures minimum ... je préfère récupérer mon argent et le donner à un studio qui en vaut la peine et je chicane pas pour 14.79€ donnés pour encourager les dev mais là c'est non, demande de remboursement envoyée. Pour moi c'est une pré-alpha, qui n'a rien à faire sur la plateforme comme beaucoup d'autres jeux, il sera peut-être meilleur plus tard mais en l'état c'est un non catégorique. On nous sort un beau trailer mais on est très très loin de cela en jeu alors que je tourne sous i9 32go ram avec une 5060 ti . il y a un sacré fossé entre le jeu et ce qui est fourni .
i am actually completely blown away by this game. there is so much more to it than it initially appears and its incredibly immersive if you play in first person. it pitches it self as a third person game but i REALLY feel this game shines in first person. its extremely hard and unforgiving at first and i love it. the only thing that has completely ruined the immersion for me is the gun play. PLEASE add an ADS mechanic of some sort for first person. even if you keep a third person option please, please please add an actual ADS feature. the weapon handling/gunplay is atrocious. it completely ruins the immersion of the game. you get lost in the vast open world and the cool underground cave base environment etc. every detail of the game feels like a passion project but the moment you step outside and get into an engagement the immersion instantly gets pulled out from under you because the gun play feels like something from 1995. the game is incredible and has the bones to be so good. please consider working on the weapon handling/ads. i want to spend countless hours in this but its so hard with the lack of fun combat. i really think you are on to something and you can tell the game is cared about by the developer, some of the choices just don't make sense from the outside looking in. the gunplay will 1000% be off putting to a large portion of people who would otherwise love this game. i'll keep checking back to see if the combat is worked on. really hopeful for this game.
