This game is confusing (not the intruiging type of confusing)

It's overall boring.
If you are looking for an ARPG diablo style game, this is not it.

It's just weird and not a good weird.
The graphics are bad, the textures are bland. The combat is choppy and sluggish and hitting an enemy doesn't feel exiting enough. The introduction to the game is terrible, instead of visually walking you through what the game is about, your screen gets overloaded with 100000 tips. You spend the first hour reading before you can actually play properly.

But the biggest sin of this game is the TERRIBLE Map and UI. The UI layout is not detailed enough, neither are the NPC's and Vendors, and if you had to use this game's map to find water in a dessert....your effed.

Enemies attack your base from god knows where and all you get for notification of this is a tiny red flash around your screen which is barely visable. You can only teleport back to your base once per area, so if it gets attacked again your either effed, or have to run in game for 10 minutes to get back there.

Once your inside your base it will take you another 5 minutes to find whos attacking your base, and where from because the Map does ♥♥♥♥ all to tell you.

You know it is a great game when six hours fly by and you want so much more and there is so much more. The more I play the more I like, my clan is starting to grow in power and I am starting to explore more and getting to know the game. This game seems to take the best parts of Dins Curse, Depths of Peril, and Drox Operative and mash it all up into one fantastic game. I love the character progression so much, you can mix it up anyway you want. I will be playing this much much more. It is in Beta but very playable and target finish date is three months.

The name sucks, and the graphics are not great. I don't care. Zombasite is one of my favorite games of 2015/2016, just like Drox Operative (Soldak's previous game) was one of my favorite games of 2012. I like how there are so many factions that can be fighting or allying with each other. I like how party members have personality traits that affect their interaction with other party members or clan members. I like how elite monsters start sending out scouts and raiding as they get stronger (they level up, too). Basically, Zombasite has the kind of dynamic environment I enjoy experiencing.

One example: I got six NPCs to join one of my clans. Two of them started flirting and married each other, and then one of them got killed during a hunting trip (you can send out NPCs on independent missions to collect food or other resources, but you can escort them if you wish) by an elite monster. The spouse went insane and went berserk, and the surviving party members had to put her down. Her husband became a ghost and attacked the party, and we ended up running away. The survivors became unhappy, one started secretly poisoning the others, and he eventually let in a raid party of monsters that killed the remaining clan members. That was pretty sad... but also pretty cool!

Character creation can be fun to experiment with. You can select from one of several classes, or you can create a hybrid character with fewer (but more specialized) skills.

I do wish the 'intelligent zombie virus' was more of a threat. I'd like to see coordinated attacks by infected monsters and NPCs. I'd like to see zombies overrun a weak clan so they can zombify the population and eventually overwhelm stronger clans. I'd also like to see zombie squads surround and flank clan parties so they become outnumbered, rather than just trickle individually into their weapons and spells.

Soldak is one of the only innovators in the ARPG genre. With there previous titles "Din's Curse", "Depths of Peril", and "Drox Operative", I was blown away at how unique they were. Zombasite mixes a lot of the great features from all the games and creates yet another amazing experience.

It is developers like Soldak; I wish someone walked up to them and said "Hey, here's 100 million dollars, make the greatest ARPG game ever." Because I know they would.

***For all the newcomers to Soldak games I will give you a rundown on what to expect:

-Every "playthrough" you spawn in a town that grants you random quests, both main quests and optional quests. While you are hunting and doing quests, AI controlled clans are also doing the same quests in the same zones. The entire world is DYNAMIC. If an enemy clan kills a boss before you, quest failed.

-Factor in bosses and enemies being dynamic as well. Bosses get promoted to become stronger and certain enemies can take over zones and become stronger.

-Factor in "followers" which are random adventurers you find while exploring to join your party and/or your clan to protect your city from invasion.

-Factor in these "followers" gaining levels and having random skills to use like you. As well as being fully equipped with items. You can also send your followers on scavenger hunts for food and potions.

-Factor in endless replayability in many forms. When you create a character, you can activate many different difficult challenges that make the game different. Maybe a mode where you can ONLY equip artifact or above items.

-Factor in full customization via simple mods. If you think experience gain is too slow or too fast, you can reduce it via a text file. If you want the base run speed to be faster, you can edit the text file. Or if you think the base game is just right, don't touch anything.

-Factor in online multiplayer.

One of the greatest ARPG's ever.

A+++

Soldak have basically mashed up all their previous ARPG's into an enhanced Din's Curse. You have the overworld and clan system from Depths of Peril, the dungeon delving and classes from Dins Curse and the quest system and diplomacy of Drox Operative. This all in all makes it a very unique ARPG to play with plenty going on and to do. And is highly recomended if you can look past the dated visuals.

Enjoying the heck out of this game, I don't know if I've played enough of it to warrant a glowing review, but I CAN say that it has more than enough content to keep anyone on the fence of the whole "Early Access" debacle satisfied. As a developer I can say that this is an evolution of this studio's past work (din's curse and depths of peril mainly) and it shows.

I'm happy I bought it!

So far.. I'm not convinced. Graphics have never been a feature of Soldak games but its about time they advanced. The whole quests / rep system / npc system was way ahead of the pack but again I dont see that it had advanced. I bought into this on the strength of the last games - I expected more than what appears to be the same character classes from Dins Curse with the same skills / limitations . Perhaps a lack of imagination on my part but I would have liked to seen more modern character classes. I suppose if it isnt broke don't fix it but at the moment I'm disappointed.

On the recommendation...if you are really into the crafting / survival element of a game then perhaps choose this over Dins' Curse / Demon War - but otherwise I'd pick up the latter.

Hopefully I'll change my mind as the game matures and I play more.

Another great Soldak title. A strategy game in a living, breathing world that reacts on what you do and especially what you don't do. If you fail to kill a boss monster in time, it will accrue more followers. The beauty is that almost every aspect is tweakable, so you can make the game as nail-biting hard or as casual as you like. All thumbs up!

It was either this game or Shower with your Dad Simulator 2015. Thank you Soldak for helping me escape just when I had needed you. Thank you.

9/10 (EA Placeholder, will review properly later.)

In all honesty, if you don't like Soldak brand of action RPGs then you probably won't change your mind for this. The textures and graphics are slightly improved (at the cost of poor optimization in beta, but I'm sure that'll get ironed out as things progress).

On the other hand, if you do like the very unique concepts that Soldak brings to the action RPG genre, this is the next best iteration in their succession of games. You have clans, one of which is headed by the player character, and you complete quests for your own clan as well as others (if you want to stay on their good side). In 4x strategy fashion you'll want to choose your friends carefully, and let the troublesome clans suffer through their problems. Then again, that might lead to an early raid on your own settlement, or one of your friends, at which point you'll be forced into a bad situation that will probably result in many deaths, or just one in the case of hardcore characters.

You have a great and inspired class skill tree, which offers as many combinations as are listed on the tin. Powerful traits are added to mix things up even more, adding a layer of progression that is common to all classes, and can make your character's skillset, in tandem with their equipment, very unique.

In short, so far it's looking so good for Soldak's new RPG, and it is as true an RPG as is being made these days, with meaningful choices that impact gameplay. RPGs are games of choice, afterall.

An incredible game.

The world is responsive and evolving, unlike every other ARPG. Your clan gets petrified, cursed, seiged, invaded, goes to war, creates your armour and weapons, and much, much more - and you can infuence all of it.

As of the date of review (5 Nov 2015) the game is still in beta so there are bugs and a few balancing issues - if that's a dealbreaker, hold off for a few months. The developer seems to be updating frequently though and is active on the game forums.

Lastly, this game doesn't have the greatest graphics or sound - they do their job well and there is a large amount, but it's no artistic marvel.

The game is very engaging and very unforgiving. It doesn't take much to die or get murdered by another faction in this game... It's definitely not your typical ARPG. You'll be trying to "win" the map while trying not to "lose" either. It's an odd combination of APRG and Civ Diplomacy.

It looks ugly and the UI is clunky, but it's a good game. At the very least, you can try the demo.

This is a really awesome game that you have probably never heard of. One of the best $20 games I have ever played.

It's a Soldak game. An improved next version of Depths of Peril. The graphics aren't cutting edge, but the graphics are made up for in gameplay, mechanics and replayability.

Think multiplayer diablo but with way more options for character customization and different builds to have fun with. Once you learn the swing of things you start losing sleep.

Well, this is a hard one to recommend. I have to admit that I had refunded the game once before I commited to it. So, yes, no unconditional recommendation.
Why?
I had quite abit of fun with the previous games Drox Operative and Din's Curse (bought directly from developers website, not on Steam) but I never was able to get into Depths of Peril.
So I saw Zombasite (silly name...) was out and tried the demo. I was kind of interested and bought the full game. I played a bit, but was COMPLETELY OVERWHELMED with it. I had no clue what was going on and all the messages bombarding me plus high level enemies trashing my camp and my expedition at start-up were completely over my head.
I just was "WTF????" and refunded the game.
That said, I haven't played a Soldak game for at least 1.5 years and had forgotten about the basics. Just for fun and giggles I installed Din's Curse again and reminded myself of the basics of a Soldak game. And I thought to myself- well, this isn't too hard. I really should give Zombasite another try.
And I did.
And what can I say? Now I actually enjoy it quite a bit! It is a nice change from ther ARPGs.

So do I recommend this game?

If you have played other Soldak games before, definitely YES. This is the most complex Soldak game to date and if you liked the other games you will get into this reasonably quickly and enjoy all the new features.
If you like ARPGs, you should also give it a go (try the demo!), but if you are just after some simple button-hacking this might not be for you, because it includes quite a bit of strategy, camp-management, damage control and frustration.
There is no real tutorial and you get thrown into the deep end from the beginning, which is VERY overwhelming and frustrating at the beginning. The learning curve at start is just like a wall.
And this is the biggest flaw of Zombasite's game design. I think many people might be interested and try it, but will give up on it before they are even able to appreciate this game.
Luckily there is a demo!
So, if you are in doubt, try out the demo first and see if this is your cup of tea or not.

Great Game - I have one major issue

-Insanity... I would make a recommendation when a party member dies it doesnt cause a crazy chain reaction of your entire clan dying. People weep and mourn a dead friend , but they don't KILL OTHER PEOPLE INSTANTLY lol...

- Food , tone this down a little or make it such that the "Farmers" produce it more.

- Combat - only real problem i have with this is the animations for 2 handed weapons , this could be improved.

There are some other things but very minor , overall a great game!

I have been looking for a game to scratch that aarpg itch, and this is it.
Oh boy is this game addictive. the emergent gameplay is unpredictible and inspires many playthroughs.
This game needs more attention, it has amazing potential.
You can expect to get many dozens of hours of fun from this, worth every cent.

A truly nice game. TRY THE DEMO!!!

Another really fun, unique ARP offering from soldak. This time it's with fantasy zombies. Normally zombies are boring AF, but the fantasy element renders the zombie survial slant quite novel. If you don't know their M.O. at this point here's the elevator pitch:

Want to play an ARP 4x game where you influence a dynamic world while killing the ♥♥♥♥ out of stuff and obsessing over loot? Play [insert Soldak game here].

Another awesome Soldak game. Zombasite is best described as Diablo 2 meets civilisation. Fans of procedurally generated RPG's, loot farming, town/npc management etc will probably enjoy this game, but Soldak games are not for everyone, be sure to try the demo first.
