The dev is literally gone, promising to "return" multiple times, pushing out like 1 fix, and disappearing again into the endless void. Only buy if you plan to play it alone.

if you are planning to buy this game for multiplayer, don't. It only has two maps for now, which are short and not entertaining at all.

This game is kind of interesting but its so devoid of a good gameplay loop that i cannot recommend it. the controls are pretty janky and combat is tedious and annoying. 2/10 just play barotrauma
