Autofiring is not working for me so my review is based on that.
If it works for you, it might be more fun.
Being my 4th survival game, the 1st and 2nd had game breaking bugs. And the 3rd, Once Human was pretty fun but having stuff reset kind of demotivates me from farming.
So I tried this game.
So, if the enemy units do not run around too much, firing manually on mobile isn't too bad.
Like undawn, when I fought some human npc, they will slowly straft so you don't really need to make big turns to target them.
- not like older PC games Counterstrike and stuff where they do duck walks side to side at fast speed lol
But for other games like Once Human or monsters in lifeafter, monsters move fast so having to target them is a pain.
So picture this
- left finger : moving your character
- right finger : turning the screen to target
- ?? finger : press to shoot
So if you need to manually shoot, you got to stop targeting and press.
Slower moving enemies are not a problem but if you have realistic monsters who move diagonally (or stupid bosses that dash around), after a few shots, you will need to retarget. Not only that, once you stop targeting to press the button to shoot, the enemy will not quietly stay still and may move away. Better yet, some weapons have recoil so the cursor keeps moving up. And it does not come back down automatically after you stop firing. Means you would need to adjust your targeting even if the enemy sits there dumb as a rock.
So for mobile, auto firing becomes a must have if there are enemies that move fast.
And in Once Human, I have experienced how it really helps, even if its still hard to target then run due to the fixed turning speed of the screen.
Now, back to this game.
Earth Revival does have a menu item for "Autofire".
But for some reason, it does not fire when the cursor is on the enemy.
Not too sure if its a bug on me only or if other mobile players also experience it.
So based on my experience above, playng the game without this feature although possible, is a pain. As such, I give the gameplay a 2 out of 5
- at least I can still fire the weapon unlike one of the other survival game which use rapid fire turret to disable all my attacks making it unplayable at all
Will be uninstalling after this review.
Game looks fun but truely seems hard if It bugs out like this even at the beginning
