They have removed the option of filling the team with random players. It's fun to be constantly farmed by 3 fully equipped teams as a new player. Refund

If you can only play on Asia server, DON'T BUY THIS GAME. It's a dead server even it's 11 AM, if you're lucky enough you will able to find 1-2 matches a day in random times because most of Asia players are chinese cheaters, they got banned all and now it's 0 players on Asia. Australia server is good, guarantee found a match under 1 minute. It's a pity that I love this game so much but It's doing really bad right now. So if you're not playing on Asia server, feel free to buy it but it's a really hardcore game for newbies so prepare for it. Finally, F*ck you chinese

The game in open beta was fun. It sucked me in, and I was taken with the idea.

Now, it just kind of... sucks. Well. Sucks if you want to play the Alien side of the game. Let me explain...
- "Play as a deadly alien beast to hunt humans and improve your DNA powers with each raid." In theory, this should be how it is, full stop. Except 'improving your DNA' isn't actually due to come out for who knows how long, the Devs do not have an ETA (You'll see a trend soon) and they have been very tight lipped on what mutations actually look like. Per the most recent update that was announced today, they want to 'perfect the base alien gameplay' before they start implementing these benefits to an alien.
- "Cooperate with another alien to ambush mercenaries and plan your next move." Feasible, ONLY IF your random alien buddy doesn't immediately DC, or go afk the whole match. That's a BIG IF.
- "Use alien abilities like toxic spit, invisibility, scream, or EMP wave to instill horror in your enemies." Toxic spit does no damage and the splash hitbox more often than not hits the environment and not the flares it's intended to put out. Invisibility is constantly bugged and is easy to be shot out of. Scream is avoided and negated by mercenaries DPI Switching, making your ability wholly useless. EMP wave..... A joke. All mercs need to do is flick their flashlight or weapon flashlight, and they can turn it right on. EMP does not function as an EMP should. There is no horror, here.
- "Avoid light sources at all costs – every lightbulb or flare is deadly to you." Yes, because up until today, damage from light sources STACKED leading to death in nanoseconds. It is still deadly, if only because mercs have dozens upon dozens of flares and glowsticks that are untouched by the EMP mechanic.
- "After leveling up your alien monster, sell its DNA to reset progress and earn currency for the mercenary." Again, not due for who knows how long.
At the current stage of the game, Alien gains nothing and has no purpose to play. It's not scary. It's not intimidating. It folds like a wet papertowel the second the merc player rubs their two braincells together and uses their endless supply of lights, and ET melting guns.

This is, too, on top of all the blatant hacking happening. There are cheaters who use teleporting, wall hacking and invisibility hacks to nuke entire lobbies within the first couple minutes of the game. Since alien respawns, you're at the mercy of these ♥♥♥♥♥♥ until they get bored and decide to extract.

In terms of the community, there are a small handful of delightful people, who were so easy to make friends with. The rest, however, is a toxic cesspit spitting out slurs, racism, homophobic and just generally despicable language whether they lose or win. (All with no noted punishment or penalisation)

If you want the game, let it cook, or be braced for little joy.

great game and probably the best extraction game ever made

Gud game :)
me enjoy

Good game. Good devs. Buy it.

10 minute queue's are rough

Bought an early access version, plus paid skin and supporter pack.

I love the game concept (if my understanding is not wrong), atomsphere, character modelings and motions. This is challenging and complex game which has many aspects and elements.

My concerns are;

- The complexity has not been solved yet
- Official Discord community is insincerity, especially the feedback from the internal members

These are huge barrier for new players, I think.

Perhap this game in production stage will be totally different, but who knows.

good game, dont listen to ppl malding. Good dev team experimenting with patchs (early access), fun game with asymetrical gameplay. No p2w. Both sides fun, only good things that are coming up. Buy it even if you wont play it, its good for the industry as a whole.

This game is extremely hard for new people, and the player base is toxic af. Unless your an alien when you play.
