This is retarded... I am on day 5 and I have to put EVERY person on guard duty just to survive, which means no one can do missions... This game has horrible balance.
Reviews for "Wasted Colony"
Day 3 of playing...
I don't know how this thing keeps me glued to the screen in spite of all the bugs. It's well imagined, and I understand the point that food is a pain to come across at times, and it's reasonable that you don't find top-notch weapons at every normal house you come across. Also, the zombies taking the opportunity and attacking when they see someone leaving the building to back up a scavenge mission makes sense, all of this adding to the feeling that survival in a situation like this is far from easy (Hey, if it was me I would have made survival even more complicated, wouldn't touch the food though, it's already as hard as it gets).
Now the bad thing: Bugs. Lots of capital B Bugs. I'm taking only one star away from the score in hopes that I'll see them fixed.
- Once a trap is destroyed, its power-consumption doesn't drop along with it. Is this intended? Hope not, doesn't make sense and guarantees dying in the long run.
- A scavenge party returns with around 40 scrap but the number stays the same. It's one of the rarer bugs but it does piss you off when you find yourself unable to make what you were hoping to and die at the next wave because of it.
- Sometimes 100% survival-rate missions end bad. Also one of the rare bugs, but I did have two occasions where I had most of my team wiped out because they failed four or five separate 100% missions at the same time. It MIGHT have something to do with happiness or food (don't remember exactly how much I had but I remember having some trouble), so if it does have anything to do with it, adding it to the equation would be helpful.
- More or less often, the main character dies and the game goes on. Wtf :P
- English ^_^ Get someone to help you out with it.
Can't think of any other bugs, I'm probably already used to some.
The idea is good, fix this stuff and you'll have a good game. Hope I'll manage to see those other characters unlocked, but with the bug issues I'm having issues getting even half-way through.
I wish this game actually worked correctly. I really think if you take the time to fix all the glitches listed by so many others. You would have a far better response from others. I really want to keep playing the game, but it is unplayable and apparently completely random. I have 55/50 Electricity, but still could not craft anything after day one for lack of Electric? Not sure what that was about. Also, I understand survivors need food, but I do not understand how much per survivor. When I sent scavenging missions out to places that I scouted that showed they had food. My scavengers always came back with barely any food. It was pretty disappointing how not a single piece of information given to you actually mattered. I sent four people armed to the teeth with weapons and armor into a neighboring area with low danger to scavenge. Not only did they all perish, but the van came back empty. Then I chose to continue and the game allowed me to play with two unarmed survivors in the house and one team working on bringing home a generator. The two unarmed survivors defeated a raid. Then when it was time to help acquire the generator. 3 armed people, 1 unarmed helper, and 2 unseen strangers were unable to take out twelve zombies? Weapon drops a few and far between, but a mission to find more survivors never fails. It seems that the less people you have the better off you really are. I think the game has tons of potential, but you need to put more time into it. Good luck and I hope I get to play a re-release of this game in the near future.
you meed to add a save and load option so we can choose when to save.
This game is pointless because its unplayable. This game looks promising, but because of the sheer amount of bugs that exist you're left unsatisfied. I feel almost cheated because of the fact that this game isn't completed. The effort that was put into creating it was half assed.
Issues:
You're not warned of when the zombies are coming.
Stocks are too short starting off.
Battles that I had 100% chance of winning I didn't. There were times where I left 1 person to guard and had a 100% chance of being attacked and I wasn't attacked. Some cases I had a 3% chance of losing and I'd lose all of my survivers for the exception of 2.
Waiting for the clock to go down til 7:00 is annoying and should be something I can skip.
You can't ever save your game on a certain day that you want.
The generators and medical supplies were always too difficult to obtain.
Felt like traps were a complete waste.
I didn't see a significant difference in the leaders other than the fighter.
Coming across weapons was too rare of an occurance.
If you lost a fight, you didn't get to keep the weapons or gear to be used by the survivors.
How far away you were from your safehouse the amount of time it takes to scavenge always stayed the same despite distance.
Raids became completely random.
Having read some of the other reviews left by users for this game I would say that I'm being kind in my review of this. Finish the game by fixing the bugs and issues. Then re-release this game. It has the potential to be great, but right now it's crap.
