Finally. As an original KS backer, this was an absolute nightmare of a project. I still haven’t got delivery of my tier level (“Human Corpse”), despite the game being available for sale already to other people.
At least the game is actually great, so it’s not a complete Mighty No. 9, but that Kickstarter was like, 10 years ago?
Yes the game is good, but that doesnt excuse the way Nightdive have treated us backers. Long stretches of time with zero communication, to the point that we basically expected the game was cancelled. Nightdive spent all the money from KS on wasted efforts or partying or whatever they were doing and had basically nothing to show for the game, and needed extra funding and more years to finally finish it. They tried to remove the pixelated art style, thankfully us backers were able to fight them to keep it. We still dont have any of the physical rewards for backing. The only people who have taken delivery of anything were people who backed for digital copies on Steam/EGS/GOG/wherever, and they only got the digital game and nothing else if their tier included it.
It was just a nightmare, enough that I will be very wary of supporting Nightdive for the forseeable future.
Makes me want not to even buy the game now if they were that shitty.
From here:
“The PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are getting a physical release, though it’s a digital-only affair for PS4 and Xbox One players. There’s no pricing information yet, but the game costs $40 on PC.”
Hopefully the pricing follows suit on the consoles. Although I know it’ll probably be like 79.99 which is fucking ridiculous.
