It seems like its still in beta. My experience is i cant even get to the top down base management part of the game. Just crashes and asks me to submit a bug report - which i have.On the plus side the game is looks quite unique and promising.... I really wanted to enjoy this. The problem is the profanity in the character conversation. I wanted strategy, survival and story... adding vulgar words adds nothing good. Wasted my money on a game I don't want to play and definitely cannot share with family.. This is a great game. Individually the story or the gameplay doesn't really shine - I guessed the plot from a mile away and the endings really aren't anything special; the characters aren't too fleshed out beyond the first real chat and does not have special events specifically tied to them; the enigmatic elements of the game never really play an actual role and many climatic events just fell short despite its initial buildup; and the gameplay gets really bare when you realize that you've exhausted all possible events you can find in just, well, 3 hours.In a way this feels more like an Early Access Game or a poor man's King of Dragon Pass. However, overall the game is a fantastic experience. The writing is really solid and the sprites and background art matches each other and the game perfectly. I've seen too many VNs out there with clashing arts/color tones that just ruins the overall experience before the player even go through a few lines, and I'm glad this VN isn't suspect to that flaw. The survival gameplay reminds me a bit of Planetbase (and thankfully and obviously considerably less difficult) and if there are additions of more events in the future I am certain that it'll be enjoyable enough for me to have another go.As for things that need to improve, I'll try and keep it simple:1) More events in general. Exploring the planet gets boring real quick when you can count the number of events on two hands.2) More character specific dialogues/events, I mean, I would really like to know everyone more and see how they act under pressure. Also would like to see more events relating to the (spoilers!) AI Janet and alien microprobes.3) Linear events such as (spoilers!) the kids being infected by microprobes etc need more elaboration and impact, and I don't mean hey-did-you-notice-the-kids-are-getting-more-violent? kind of one glance mentions. Something like a scene where Michael or Shen's sister going super violent and beat the crap out of someone. It's old, but it works more than a scene where the kid's tearing apart his toy.4) More effects! Sound effects (explosions, beepingpeople screaming, chaos, raiders talking to each other etc), visual effects (again, explosions! etc).5) Minor UI issue I have but the mouse scroll-backlog is like a must feature on VNs. Also, your save screen is really un-user friendly.6) Gallery feature please! What's the point of having cool CGs, when you can't just refer to a CG Gallery and relieve them easily?. This game plays like a early access title. Much of the game feels unfinished or needs more balancing. Fear the RNG because it doesn't take much in the first week of the game for a single disaster to force a roll back. Additionally the mechanics of the game such as health or morale are completly hidden, you have no idea how much harm reduced rations will cause or what direction your popularity is going. The popularity is especially important to know if you decided to allow elections, I had good morale but had no idea if this meant that I would be elected over my rival.Overall, don't buy now. There is a lot of potential but the game needs to be finished first.. The blend of virtual novel and turn based strategy is interesting. The events often have hard and meaningful decisions and I get a degree of a Banner Saga vibe from the general gameplay, as you work to protect your colonists. I will try to update with more details as I get more time in the game.. games legit, im gonna start getting mroe of these story book products in the future.. I'm not a fan of visual novels but by combining the story telling with proper gameplay elements this game manages to make me feel invested in what is going on and care for the characters.The strategy part of the game is not very complex but it has a nice balance to always keep you on your toes. You are always short on supplies and resources, the survivor count is decreasing constantly and in most cases you are either worrying over the morale or the health of your people, or both.The story comes up with some interesting ideas as well and (except for the very long opening sequence) feels very well paced.Video with commentary:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vz8BOi8zbXg. Hey folks, i would like to give you my impressions as an official tester of the game and hope you will find it helpful or at least interesting.The Next World is a pretty unique blend of strategy, management and story-telling. It is inspired by titles like King of Dragon Pass, but manages to create its own particular flavor. A largely linear story-line (albeit with various endings) is combined with random events and colony management. So while the overall direction is not procedurally generated, the path that you walk varies based on your careful planning, the incidents you encounter and your decisions on how to handle them.The game is text-heavy, but the writing is good and conveys an engaging story. Combined with the dire situation you find yourself in, the scarce ressources, dying colonists, and a continous flow of new challenges, i felt compelled to read everything and found the experience to be fun, tense, engaging and varied.To me the most exciting period in TNW is the struggle through the early game. It really feels like a dreadful situation, where every ray of hope also casts new shadows. Once you manage to get through that you will have some time to explore, upgrade and expand (you do this throughout the game, but the focus in early game is on using anything and everything to address basic needs), though it is just the calm before the final storm, which should best be used to prepare well.I find it a bit difficult to fully describe and explain the gameplay, so i will recommend the gameplay video you can find in the community hub (if you dont mind some minor spoilers). Still i will also try to go over some basics. Your primary concern is to keep your colonists alive or at the very least some of them. To do this, you will want to keep morale and health at good levels, which is based on the supplies (food/drink) that are available (you can ration these) as well as the modules added to your base (providing you with supplies and ressources (for construction/upgrades/etc), but also with boni to health and happiness) and the decisions you make as a leader. The latter can range from choosing between salvaging, exploration or building to making tough calls in the various events that can occur throughout your journey. All of these aspects intertwine to some degree as a lucky event or locating and salvaging a good module may help you set up a base that gives you enough breathing space to handle a later unfortunate turn of fate.Edit: A question on replayability popped up on a different review and just to be sure, i will share my answer here as well."[Replayability is] Pretty decent. Even after the 120 hours that steam logged for my testing, i still enjoy starting over for another round. I wouldn't say that you should expect as many hours as i have, since i racked a lot up due to my task, but the colony management and various events as well as 2 playable main characters and various endings (and the possibility of failure) certainly allow for several play throughs."TLDR:It is indie. It is retro. It is good. It is not Telltale. It is not KoDP. It is The Next World.. The base building\/management sections of the game are serviceable and the decent story disguises the simplicity of the game mechanics fairly well at first. But after a while you start to notice that how well you do in the management\/base building section doesn't really affect the story. Also the story kind of lost momentum in the third act. Was hoping for a game that captured the beauty of Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri but replaced war\/diplomacy with exploration and discovery and an intrigueing narrative.Instead it's a (very good) visual novel with a minigame.Would still recommend as I enjoyed myself though.. Not sure how to put Early Access Review on this review but thats what this is lolTNW was a fairly interesting game. It can be short if you try to rush through it and it can be challenging as heck or atleast it was when I was testing it. But maybe i was just making the wrong choices lol.The story is interesting and something I have not really seen before. Its interesting to see a mix of colony management and visual novel.I think its pretty well done and i recomend people who enjoy reading science fiction stories, visual novels, lite management games and choose your own adventure stories to play the game. Sometimes i felt like a few choices in the game didnt matter much but thats just me and thats how all other Choose Your Own Adventure stories always feel like to me lol.Overall its a fairly good game, with an interesting if not a little short story. But it is an interesting game none the less.
