Sanctum - Short Review

Sanctum is a good game don't get me wrong but I am a little disappointed if am completely honest. No it not the fact that there is only 4 levels. It all the crashing i have experienced. For a game that has been released since April I was not expecting it to crash every time I want to restart a level or want to start a new game and not continue a previous save.

90% of the time will cause a crash on my system.

Ignoring all the issues i have had with it the first hour, the actual amount of time i played it in order to write this review, of game-play was frantic and fun and ill admit i will play this game for quite some time especially once they fix a lot of the issues and bugs people have been reporting.

During the planning phase this helps a lot.

Game play wise i do really like this game its a change from the standard Tower Defense game the waves are balanced quite well and the difficulty curve works in my opinion. I love the FPS aspect but i cant help feeling that you may be a little over powered as the only consequence for an enemy to hit you is the screen wobbles making it more difficult to aim.

Die alien scum DIE!!!!!!!!!

I really wanted to give this game a buy now award i really did but i cant i recommend waiting until they sort some of the bugs outs at which point i will re-review.I cannot fathom how a game with so many bugs can be released if this was a beta i would understand but even then i was playing Frozen Synapse in beta and Project Zomboid in pre-alpha the last couple of days and i have had less crashes in both of them than i have here. I will give details of my review to Coffee stain studios i do understand it impossible to test every system configuration imaginable and i am confident in their ability to solve the bugs as the are communicating with the community.
