Early Access Review
Huge NMRIH 1 fan. Age of Chivalry Fan.

Giving your baby to Torn Banner after they killed their own baby is a really bold move that could've actually worked... it didn't and Torn Banner killed NMRIH 2 right before our eyes.

Torn Banner should be held accountable for ruining this game. This will need a No mans sky level redemption to save it. This could have been a huge first impression but now its lost all momentum.

-One big map is a huge oversight of competence for what the original game had to offer.
-Starting alone everytime is a drag and they won't change it cause they made a cute lil group system
-HUD Markers ruin immersion
-Networking is Poor
-Inventory management is simplified for the dumbest person alive
-No workshop for custom levels
-no healthy communication with the community
- The lack of foresight the devs had to not see this coming is the worst part of it all

Also its not playable I keep crashing

Torn Banner is bad and will continue to be bad


Go finish Chivalry 2 Torn Banner its not near done at all.

EDIT ADDITION

After playing for a decent amount of time I can say the game can be turned over into something good but I still believe it will be way too late after the hype train.

Blatant problems in game:
  • Player Models invisible
  • Zombies disappearing and reappearing
  • Crawling Zombies not taking damage
  • Melee hits on zombies inconsistent
  • Running stops working at random times for the rest of the match regardless of full stamina
  • Inventory isn't like NMRIH1 and sucks because of it
  • Ammo types are generalised and shouldn't be
  • Zombies glide and move poorly overall
  • Having the first game be better is insanely sad

THINGS THAT CAN SAVE YOUR GAME
  1. Optimize your game to run better
  2. Smaller Maps or different ending points on large ones it doesn't need to be a journey to the middle only thats dumb
  3. Better and more communication with gamers as seeing community managers literally neglect raising issues to devs with Chiv 2 this will happen here as its a Torn Banner issue.
  4. MORE CHALLENGING PUZZLE AND TEAM PUZZLES

I want to like this game so bad but there's a long way to go and Torn Banner using early access as an excuse is passing the buck. It wasn't ready. Remaking the game from scratch was a dumb idea by Torn Banner too while the game was already almost complete on a prior engine. Instead we got this. I'm curious to see what was before Torn Banner took over.
