Early Access Review
The game has a cool concept and so far it's been alright not gonna lie. but i won't recommend it yet to people UNLESS you are ok with some of the things im gonna mentioned below. If so, then go ahead.

In essence, the game is basically played out like Dead by Daylight or maybe Friday the 13th. Player will assume control of either a hunter or a scavenger. The performance of the game is not bad even tho it can have a bit of optimization but for the most part it runs well. There's not much in terms of content yet but for the price, it's good.

i must say there's some balancing issue need to be adressed imo.

for example, unless you are fighting against a bunch of potatoes, it will be hard as hell to kill scavengers as a hunter. There's just too much stuff you gotta do as hunter going from hunting, setting traps, activating drones, gather ammo, patrol, not to mention the fact that you can't wall climb making it very ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficult to play in certain map (i don't know the name, but that map also have poor visibility making scavangers could blend easily with the environment and there's just way too much obstacle) also detection drones that you see in the trailer, it's rather useless most of the time. scav could easily disable them with 2 shot. "but uh you can see that the drone got shot down" yeah and then what? you go there just to find the scav has gone elsewhere if not hiding in bushes, wasting your boost for nothing at the end.

also the fact that it only take a couple seconds for the scav going from finish extracting blood/timer run out till the exit portal arrive, and also the fact that exiting happen in an instant meaning even tho you can see the scavs a few seconds before the portal arrive, it was all too damn ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ late. you rarely can do anything about it. trying to shoot them down on their way towards the exit? you won't be able to deal enough damage before then most of the time. corrected: there's 2 portal which is good so i will not count is as a bad thing, but the insta exit point is still there

well also lastly, the point system need a bit refining too for the hunter. you can easily get 4-5k point as scav just by playing right and extract while as hunter you need to get like 4 scavs down. that means you need to be very good or very lucky as hunter to get good score while it take 0 to no effort to get good as scav because a lot of the game mechanic is in favor of scav with imo op cloning ability, etc.

With all that said, if you still are intrigue to play the game especially as a hunter for the challenge, then this one might be good for you cause as of now it usually only take me like 3-5 sec to find a match as a hunter while as scav it can take me 1.5 - 2+ minute.

at the end, you decide whether this game worth it or not for you. i kinda regret buying it but i love the art and atmosphere so it's a good collection for my library

"unless you are fighting against a bunch of potatoes, it will be hard as hell to kill scavengers as a hunter."
The potato part is in every game... however yes its supposed to be hard to kill as it is hard to survive vs a GOOD opponent. You being bad at the game is not a game problem.
Every complain was about hunter... meaning maybe this game is too much for you... its ok... skill is not something everyone has.

Most of your points make it seem like you're just bad as hunter ez

My issues are not so much with the exits and so on. The issue I have is with Sawbones scav. If you are going against a well coordinated team of scavs it's impossible to win. Sawbone's ability to instantly revive anyone that is down is horse @#$%. The only way to stop this is get to the scav you just down and start the execution, but scavs can ragdoll very far giving a good Sawbone player enough time to instantly revive them with their ability. Even if you down someone again Sawbone has 3 charges for this instant revive. Honestly the ability needs to be reworked imo.

The exit timer is not instant. The exits have a 15 second spawn timer. When playing hunter yes this can sometimes feel to short and playing as scav this feels to long. As the sniper hunter this is easier to deal with. you can 2 tap scavs easily.

9 out of 10 games I get 4+ kills, you just need to practice more and use better strategy.

@gravity AO, i'm not against the verticality but rather the one that's overdone in such an inbalanced way. There's this one map i forgot the name but it got yellow-ish tone to it, that map usually always generate valley like map with high ground on the sides and low ground in mid. but the thing is, you need to jump correctly and make 0 miscalculation in order to jump over the high ground from lower compared to other map where you can do it rather easily because other map's height difference isn't as contrast as this one map. also the visibility is just awful.

I tend to disagree with the part of the environment, like you expecting to get caught or hide?
the maps are good in my opinion and the fact you can hide in the bush until you can continue or climb to get away with so many obstacles is good because gives you more chances of survival and actually gives both the killer and the scavenger the need to put effort in DBD you just got a map with just plain sight its my opinion remember. The game is good.

always sceptical with this kind of genre, its means to be casual but no casual mechanics. oh well we already got hunt showdown which is more crowded
