The Survivalists

monkey slavery

It's no longer being developed, and the gameplay isn't anything to write home about. No, it's not the next Minecraft, Terraria, or Raft. However, it is quite a bit of fun, especially if you're with friends. Don't expect anything amazing from this game, but expect to have a good time, especially if you're playing it in the long run.
Make sure it's on sale first, though. The original price is terrible.

Just make sure you SAVE THE GAME

Im going to do a good Review about all the features of the game and no spoilers:
Exploring
Dungeons
Updates
Style
Combat
Monkeys
Nostalgia
Looting
Crafting
Clones
Alr Lets start with Nostalgia about this game:
Some of you played the game Pixel Survival 3 if im correct about the name, the game pixel survival 3 had many same features as The Survivalists, like resource gathering and Exploring, Sadly Pixel survival 3 got underRated and got many hackers, so if you played it, the survivalists is 10x better with alot of features and fun to do!
Alr lets talk About Crafting:
this game has a cool and special crafting system, you don't start with every recipe, you have to craft a thing to unlock new recipes, and everything is not craftable, sometimes you have to go explore or make a crafting table, and yet you can't make a iron pickaxe, you have to get a big furnace and craft things and then unlock new recipes in furnace, and then finally a iron pickaxe recipe, So that means theres alot of things to do to just get a better thing, when you finally got what you wanted like axe or pickaxe, you feel proud and rewarded for gathering resources to get better things.
Lets talk about clones:
Theres a roblox game called The Survival game, It has totally same crafting system and same starter weapon, that sharp rock. and also survival game and the survivalists titles are really same, that roblox game is cloning the survivalists, should really get copyright striked.
lets talk about exploring:
the exploring feels So Rewarding, and when i say that i mean you always find alot of resources like chests or abandoned cars and skeletons, everythings a suprise and fun, you always find something fun and cool and helpful resource while exploring, you can also explore with rafts and find iron and cool resources from diffrent islands!
Lets talk about Updates:
while this game got updated for 2 years ago 2021, this game got alot to do, all the 2020 comments are before 2021, all the bugs are most likely to be fixed already, this game got tons of cool stuff to do.
Lets talk about style:
the style is so cool, the movement is not limited, you can walk how you want. with animations in 2d, its not a typical 2d game with forward, backward, right, left, its not, this game you can walk freely without robotic forward or backward bla bla.
lets talk about dungeons:
Finding dungeons is hard and fun, you put alot of effort winning the dungeon, but also gets the best loot, completing dungeons is so good, you get legendary loot like good axes and good coins, and alot of things you don't get easy, dungeons is almost impossible without the help of fighting monkeys, but The dungeons is the best part of rewards in the game, so much good stuff!
Lets talk about Combat:
this game got decent combat but that does not mean its bad, its so cool with the combat, if you attack someone while they attack you get stunned, its all about timing, if you attack in the right time you stun them and then keep attacking until they die, also monkeys can fight but even with same weapon they don't do same damage because of balance.
Lets talk about Monkeys:
this is the main cause we get forward in this game, this feature is so special and good, you can train monkeys to fight, pick up items, put items in chest, craft, borrow a chest for extra storage, mine and cut things, and just alot of things to do!
lets talk about looting:
in this game you can open skeletons and alot of stuff and loot them with alot of cool resources, its similar to minecraft, but alot cooler, you can loot alot of things while exploring and everythings so cool.

the monkies are coded better than i am

I completed pretty much everything in the game, and my short answer is:
Yes, the game is worth it on sale, and you'll most likely have a fun time with it.
A more detailed review:
The main mechanic, monkey labor, is a somewhat fun, but often frustrating mechanic. You'll likely be spending a lot of time standing around while waiting for your monkeys to finish certain things for you. But, this comes with the benefit that you can use this time to go around and adventure around the several islands. Though, with adventuring comes a rough apple you're going to have to bite through.
Combat. I won't sugarcoat it, but the combat in this game is very rough. Not in a, it's very hard kind of way, but in a very buggy kind of way. You'll often find yourself missing hits you definitely were supposed to, and somehow hitting things you definitely missed. Sometimes you'll just get pulled back and hit to a location you were previously. The best way to describe the combat is that it feels like you're playing with heavy latency.
Still, despite it's shortcomings, the Survivalist is a somewhat fun experience if you're fan of the survival game genre. It does things a lot of other survival games do, and some it does a little better, some it does a little worse. All in all, I'd rate the game a 7/10.
