Fantastic base for a game but falls short on content, a fact which is obscured in a way that seems almost deliberate by mechanics that have no meaning or by mechanics that are not explained in any straight forward way thus artificially producing played hours when players are left to figure this out by experimentation. A quick search reveals honest reviews which reveal that there isn't really anything to look forward to.

Would love to get back to this if any meaningful content is ever added.

Yes

It's not what you expect.

Fun game, would have loved to play it more but crashed 4 times during missions in the 3 hours I played it.

Refunded.

10/10 would go insane again

It is sad how so many user reviews about this game are not about the game itself but about the the pricing and upcoming updates of the game. Most of them are really on the brink of sounding butthurt and don't really carry much merit when it comes to the gameplay itself.

This is a fun game, a fun game.

It's definetly a competetive, asymmetric PvP game. The core concept has been kept as simple as possible with not too many game modes and silly distractions like buyable items or too many choosable talents/skills. The fun comes from the L4D-kind-of almost endless replayability when you're up against other players in a dynamic enviroment.

There's too many overly proportioned arguments being cried about this game that are either inflated or completely false, here's few biggest ones:

Argument #1: The game is uneven / monster this or that is OP
WRONG. The game is not symmetric, it is even. When you team 4 players against 1 you can't have symmetric game, it wouldn't work. The monsters are more powerful by default, but they are alone against many. No matter how much you would try to balance the opposing factions, you would always have certain disparity due to the way the game is made, AND IT IS A GOOD THING! A skillful player can employ the strenghts of a monster to his/her victory or a trained team of hunters can score a kill through good communication and teamwork.
Mayby the biggest cries of inexperienced players are projected towards Wraith. Wraith is not overpowered, check the in-game scoreboards, the statistics in top 15 rankings between the 3 current monsters in the game do not deviate from each other.
Here's a good example of how to take down a skillful Wraith: http://www.twitch.tv/sacriel/v/3800212

Argument #2: The game is broken/glitchy/buggy.
WRONG. The game had an exceptionally good release especially when compared to other multiplayer games recently. You could jump in and start playing on the release day without too long queues or game breaking bugs!
Many people like to cling on the mouse cursor bug which is a real thing but not nearly big enough deal to not make you buy the game and will surely be fixed in an upcoming patch.

Argument #3: The business model for the game is a money grab.
OVERINFLATED. This side of this publication has grown so out of proportion in game reviews around here. Many comments focus on the subjective opinion of how much one should pay for their entertainment and the whole issue has very little bearing on how one experiences the game itself. I've got over 50 hours gameplay behind me now, that's ~1€ per hour so far and going down because I'm nowhere near of getting bored of the game. To me that is money well spent!

What comes down to the DLC's people seem to fail to understand that you can play WITH people who have bought DLC and new maps and new gamemodes will be available for everyone for free.

It's up to everyone themselves to make the decision whether something is too expensive or not for them. So please evaluate the game as it is and not about how much others put money in it.

Absolutely wonderful, challenging, deliciously "nintendohard".

Must have if you enjoyed good old adventure games!

Interesting little game, love the graphics, love the setting, it works fluently but is just oh so short for now!
Can't wait for more content.
