A Punchy 5 Dollar Zombie Apocalypse RPG I Keep Coming Back To - FARGONE 

Hey dev here! Thanks for coming back to the game again, pretty much everything you mentioned is accurate, a lot of time was spent bringing back end systems up to a higher standard in order to make long term work easier to do, also focusing on cutting out synty assets, I would say its maybe a 60-40 split now between custom to synty, that work was completed around 2 months ago so since then new content and polish has been the goal, still some jank to work through but I am on it! Thanks again for the coverage and honest feedback much appreciated!

I love that I could instantly recognize the Rookie Village from Stalker 9 minutes in. The street is iconic.

I can 100% recommend this game to anybody who is thinking about it. I've logged about 40 hours into it, and it's very promising. Game is fun, dev is super active and responsive, a huge update just came out (part 1, with another part soon) and he's got big plans for the game. Especially with it on sale, this is absolutely worth $5.

If you knew how many games are on my desktop because of this guy...

As somebody familiar with firearms, you aren't wrong for wanting louder guns with suppressors. Most firearms even when suppressed are over 120 decibels meaning they can cause hearing damage even with a suppressor.

lol that one bandit "i may be dead but i can still body block his shots"

I have to say, these indie voice recording is charming as heck. Much respect

Just realized that even though I dislike most of low poly graphics I actually find them somewhat charming and soothing (?) from a 1st person perspective. Nice game.

I can't even fill my motorcycles gastank with $5.

Workbenches are being redone to have more functionality and importance than what they had at first.

talking about the install of stalker gamma hit me right in the feels

Yo Splat, you are a blessing on this platform. Please don't let haters get to you, they don't matter

Fun fact Splat. 380 ACP is 9mm. It's just 9mm Kurtz. Or 9mm short. It's a lower power variant to the 9mm Luger. Less powder, less recoil, etc. Same era as like .32 ACP and a bunch of weird little calibers

For a second when the video started, I thought this was Goldeneye 007.

Hey Splat, just wanted to say that you've been a reliable spotlight for a lot of amazing indie games. I've been enjoying your recommendations for a few years now, and just bought this game too. keep up the good work!

Looks like Stalker Gamma had a baby with SurrounDead, I'll give this game a chance.

Did buy this one, no hesitation at all. Looking forward to explore the world and see what the game has to offer.

Lightweight Gamma about fighting bandits and zombies? Count me the fuck in

This is definitely one that has stayed installed and has real potential. It's actually enjoyable to play as is.

Don't usually by early access titles but this looks really fun and has TONS of potential

"Puts a suppressor on a weapon and expects it to be loud" That's because he understands how suppressors actually work, instead of Hollywood queef cannons.

for 5 bucks hell thats a mcdonalds fries these days lol

I just bought it.Thanks Splatt

This game is instantly better, Splatty's using the centre post when ADS, not like last time when he kept missing by using the Left post ;) ;) ;)

5 dollars ain’t bad for the game!

How many games are on your wishlist on steam? :p now I really wanna know. I think I got 402 games on it right now.

looks like battlebit with openworld zombie adventures

The enemy AI seems pretty good, they move very naturally.

Ive played this a few times since release looks like I need to try it out again 😁👍

Always double-tap. Screw ammo-conservation.

I dont mind using of shop items in the slightest. Its totally okay if the devs concentrate on the gameplay, thats most important.

I love building a huge wishlist, and then checking it every few days cuz ussualy a few are 50 to 80% off

Splat, that SMG you picked up off the bandit at the camp (shadow of the mountain part) is an MP7. The 9mm you're thinking of is the MP9, the MP7 fires proprietary 4.6x30mm ammo. Don't ask me why the MP7 is newer than the higher-numbered MP9 (though they're not made by the same manufacturer so that might be part of it). Also not entirely sure why the P90 (5.7x28mm) and MP7 (4.6x30mm) both fire "generic 9mm" (which is probably 9x19mm NATO/Parabellum/Luger/whatever you feel like calling it). Could be oversight, could just be simplification for gameplay fluidity. Just kinda surprising to see in a game this heavily inspired by STALKER, seems like the kind of detail the dev would care about.

Not bad, this is snappy gameplay^^

Reminds me of surroundead

the walking zombie 2 without microtransactions and repetitive missions

Are mobs still bulletproof sponges? Starter mobs like dogs would take a whole clip.

Harver either despawned or got killed in my game, i can't find him, i have a quest marker where he should be, but he's gone!

a propper gaming journalist

So ,this game has a lot of almost identical models which are in another game called "surroundead",I guess they are bought and used straight from developer shop.Well ,I do suggest dev do a little alteration work so two games won't look too familiar.

Every menu is open at the same time for me: inventory, pause menu, tutorial, then the screen goes black and the compass looks blurry with all the POI markers burnt into the screen overlapping each other. I was open minded at first about these games that use asset packs, I don't think there's anything wrong with focusing on the game mechanisms themselves and relying on other artsits for the visuals - but now I see them as an indicator that the dev lacks some fundamental programming knowledge. I know that's unfair, because the two things shouldn't be related at all, and it's more likely unfamiliarity with the game engine itself, or how background engine processes are interfering with the functions. I don't post negative reviews on steam, and I 'liked' this video because I hope others have a better experience than I am having with it. I know it's early access. I just hope for more quality assurance when products are sold at any stage of development.

ThankYou SirSpla77

Casual STALKER GAMMA reference. What a chad. Thankfully, once you get the game installed and running the first time (properly) there's very little actual upkeep to do after that provided you don't want to add any additional mods to the pack. Save for things like guns for the most part. Totally unrelated but I recently just started modding for it myself. Made two automatic .357 weapons for the late game. Had a lot of help from the modders in the GAMMA discord, they're pretty cool people. That all said, this game looks pretty dank. I might have to give it a try. Lots of time in STALKER myself, across the entire franchise, as well as plenty of the mods across the years. Always nice to see more games in the same spirit, like Into The Radius on VR. I also wanna point out the fact that I'm pretty sure the shadow on your character has a funky running pose directly as a reference to how the player looked in STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl when you ran around without a weapon out. Arms by your sides all stiff. xD

Watched GeneralSam play this stalker Gama game a few weeks ago. Literally the first time ive herd of it, this being the second. I could use some 5 dollar stalker gama fun...

last time i played the zeds didnt drop with a headshot wow they maked progress

I get the magic apple too. I named him WILLSAAHN!!!!.

Today when I was making a coffee before I started my fresh New Game, my room mate pulled a fast one on me & ticked the Hardcore Start (with no items) LOL I came back assuming I ran in to a bug right off the bat

which is getter Fargone or SurrounDead ? fargons is currently on sale $5.99 10Gb not bad at all.. i have 2 hours to decide B4 sale ends.

Why are so many indie games using the exact same asset pack for characters and zombies? It's making it hard to tell them apart now.

It hurts to see you not hotbar meds in the action belt when you open your inventory

So what's up with the soulash video just getting nuked?

13:00 What!? I can't hear you!! IT"S TOO DARK IN HERE!!!

Would like to be able to paint the guns, it could be like faction thingy, so you know who is who. Could see me play this one... is there night time mode ? My brain dont like daytime.

Been playing too much Gamma, I recognized too many things too quickly.

I just started playing this recently, and every quest I do is bugged in some way or another... And I've played for hours and done multiple quests and killed plenty of zombies and bandits, but I've not leveled up once yet? Maybe that's not a bug, but it feels like it at this point. a few hours of gameplay should be getting me at least 1 level by now.

P90 fires 5.7 i believe. That being said the game looks great. Kudos for the 5 dollar price. True dat on the fact you cant buy s**t for 5 dollars.

I hate games where you shoot people who have long guns but when you loot them, you can't have the long guns.

nice video

I wish these games would swap out the default synty characters with their own since those are the most identifiable things

Is it PvP, or can it be played PvE? Not really interested in fighting players, as I'm a casual kinda person, not competitive.

Looking at this game ans speaking of assets replacement makes me wonderring : any good rpg à la world of warcraft (3rd person non isometric) in the indie video game paysage sir ? please ? .... pretty pweaaaaaaase ? Thank you

You should know Stalker Gamma is far easier to install nowadays

Does it have 3 rd person perspective..

installing gamma takes 5 minutes not counting the time it takes to download

bro i literally just spent 3 hours installing gamma

Looks like 'Broken World'.

Its not too bad looking. Stalker may be a little less cartoonish, but it has some poor graphics also.

Stalker G.A.M.M.A. has an incredibly simple installation process, especially compared to mods of yesteryear. Few simple steps and the installer does all the work.

A rpg in 2024...that's singleplayer.?

needs more r e s h a d e , other than that it's a solid game

🖤

forgot about this game and to good of a price not to get

Minecraft in buperty ?

Thicc thumbnail

Check out mist survival

Edit: Nope, I was wrong! 380 ACP is literally a shortened 9mm case. So pretty trivial to make a firearm that will fire both.

the focal length on the camera needs a bit of adjustment I think, that shotgun looks like it's 10 feet long

Where is this game $5?

the p90 is not good the 5.7 is not any more powerful the a .22 magnum

Too bad I can't play this on xbox😩

Lol why do you think its trying to be Gamma, of all mods? Because its the new and trendy mod that brought over all the casuals?

This game will apparently be better than S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. :D

You didn't check all the desks for fresh apples

nah, the GAMMA patcher is pretty painless, especially after you've set it up once. It _does_ take a long time. better not be in a hurry, it might take a few hours. but it's almost completely passive after a little initial setup. (joke was still funny though) you want to talk about pain, let's discuss skyrim modlists. now _that_ is some serious misery.

$6

I like how you can't read, I relate to that

Turn your light off Mr. Cat

*$12

maybe stop using DAMN SHOTGUN FOR RANGED FIREFIGHTS.. or switch to slugs which are more accurate for ranged shooting

Splat shouldnt the intro be "what's up ze, zey zems"?

I was gonna say, I'd rather just play S.T.A.L.K.E.R. GAMMA which seems to be much better in every regard

I just refunded this last night oof

E

fsad

this art style is played out

stalker gamma and anomaly is better

Please no more Synty based games.

bruh installing GAMMA is easy af

These synty games are atrocious and synonymous with shovelware at this point.
