Worst NFT Game EVER? | The Walking Dead: Empires Gameplay and Review

- Did you know that there's an upcoming #thewalkingdead #nftgame #mmorpg? No?
Well, apparently there is, and I was lucky enough to play it during their most recent playtest.
In this gameplay and review video of The Walking Dead: Empires, I give my first impressions on the game. While the ridiculous prices for the game's NFTs are unacceptable, the actual gameplay is still some of the best we've seen out of any crypto game. However, that's not really saying much, considering the competition. If you're not interested in "play to earn" or "metaverse land ownership", then I doubt you'll enjoy this game.
Nonetheless, it's all my opinion anyway. If you don't agree, make sure to let me know why down in the comments.
Thanks for watching!

Think it's funny that in a game about the chaotic zombie apocolypse, where all of society and governing bodies have fallen, land rights, bought by money, are still enforced and respected.
Few undeadstand
Ya jus like the show people own land by owning the community’s. The alliance plus land owning makes it similar to twd show imo
Clearly they want mindless zombies as there Consumer
It's literally the crypto dream. Hyperinflation will lead to the collapse of society, but there will still be electricity and internet to allow you to transact monkey jpegs with the roving motorcycle gangs.
It truly is the apocalypse. no governing body to regulate, just the will of the landlords.
Moral of the story, Rick Grimes is 100$ while Project Zomboid is $30
8$on steam sale 💀💀
🙏 nothing beats
and has modding capability
well hey at least this has actual progression lol
And Zomboid itself not only being cheaper is also a lot more fun.
This is truly a walking dead game: a dead game where 90% of the time you spend walking
And the other 10% is brain dead repetitive tasks
@@PlagueMaster815 you just don't get the genuis of gala games; i already sold my house and my children to put the money into this game
@@oneofthoseyoutubeusers You're weak and not a true Gala enjoyer. I have robbed several banks and infiltrated area 51 in order to aquire the funds necessary to buy one common plot of land. And it'll take only 6025 years to potentially return on my investment with a 100% guarantee in some cases.
Reflect upon your failure and go back to spider tanks with your 0.01 Gala bolts
Makes u wish u were dead
Could almost say, you're walking yourself to dead
Surprised this game didn’t have you match colors to save a damsel in distress. This is cut and paste from those awful zombie mobile games where it takes 5 months to upgrade your base from lvl6-lvl7.
This actually is a mobile game that exists. It's called last day on earth and is pretty much the same thing, down to the style of gameplay, UI layout and style
Besides for the skill bar
@@sharkenjoyer ah good memories from ldoe. Played the game till I got bored and it atill sits on my phone
@@deft_port0217 Yeah, for like a week it was the most addicting game but after that you just don't wanna open it
Maybe those games were made by the same company and they just re used the assets.
I read this and immediately thought of an old Clash of Clans clone I played a bit of when I was younger, I think called Backyard Monsters
I know it's not exactly on-topic but like it had that same issue of a lot of buildings' later upgrades being time-gated as hell to get you to buy something to accelerate it
(Note - I haven't played Clash of Clans itself and I honestly don't have an intent to even if it's still around)
"The zombies are stupid, slow and easily avoided -- similar to a blockchain."
Just like the blockchain you also need to waste resources on them
"The Survivors are stupid, fast, armed and easily bypasses defence, if you see em, they'll asking to buy a NFT"
Yall dumb af
blockchains arent slow unless its eth or btc lol. and even then faster than most bank transactions. hfsp no coiner, you willl be diluted into general populace by the elite and NWO.
no remarks, love it
Its really sad to see how far the walking dead fell off. What felt like a fresh take on a played out genre has become a zombie itself.
The license gets tossed around a lot. You get the episodic tell tale games alongside that one shitty game where you play as Daryl. You get saints and sinners next to this garbage fire.
s&s wasn’t perfect but god damn did it shine in certain areas
@Yewzer_Wun You're forgetting Overkill's The Walking Dead, which is heavily underrated
@@yeeeboii2058 I think the game being pretty much dead says all it needs to. Oh well, that's what Contagion or No More Room In Hell is for.
@oriondawn7064 Ngl it only died cause the game was only out for 2 months before getting pulled out of steam and never released on consoles.
I can see this sort of gameplay being fun if done right. I could see myself giving a game like this a shot. But good lord, the astounding greed! They might as well put a message on their launcher saying "Notice: Whales only!"
Project zomboid, enjoy.
really late reply but this game looks like really bad last day on earth cuz the gameplay seems basically ripped off from it
play project zomboid its pretty similar or a game called last day on earth but its on mobile
@@Philip1916 last day on earth is literally this but without nfts
Project zomboid, v rising
The transition from Telltale Walking Dead quality to Ride to Hell Retribution quality killed me 💀
LITERAL RIDE TO HELL
It fills me with joy to see someone boot up a niche or obscure mmo game, open the global chat, and then suddenly see brazilians there.
You can run, you can hide, but you can't escape from us forever.
Caralho
@@jauwn Lmaoooooooooooooooooooo
Eu não tava esperando por essa(I wasn't expecting that)
when i was a teenager, loooong time ago, i really hated to see brazilians online. i always hated them, because they laughed too much in a weird language. Them and french people.
You thought it was the zombies getting everywhere? No, it's the Brazilians...
Also applies to youtube music videos. But I gotta say y'all have incredible taste in music
I love how they didn't even bothered hiding their copied game. The icons for the wood (which for some reason are planks) and stone are the same from Last Day On Earth, a mobile game of the same style: isometric, survival, grindy but way more fun
"more fun" for your phone maybe, objectively it kinda sucks lol
I was just about to point this out! This looks like a blatant carbon copy of Last Day on Earth
@@martinszymanski2607 As it goes with mobile games lol. But yeah i can easily see this being the worse version of plenty of mobile games, even not counting the fact I have to sit in front of my computer for this while I can play mobile on the toilet
Isn't Last Day On Earth a "copy" of Project Zomboid? (I mean, they have their differences, like PZ has permadeath while LDoE hasn't, but they both play the same technically) So they copied from a copy of another game?
Also you def should check Project Zomboid. Great game to play with friends. Only available for PC though
last day on earth was out way before zomboid brutha
@@guavapaste
If you're selling access, then it's fair to be reviewed IMO.
For what it's worth, you can play the game for free. So my own logic doesn't really apply here. But... at the prices they're charging if you did want to pay? No way Jose!
@@jauwn my point is it's a product for sale - it deserves a look.
Tbh the moment someone releases a product for the public its fair to be reviewed
@@gamemusicifyNuh uh. Not if it's something I like. If it's free then it's free content and you can't complain or critique it at all. In fact... Have you ever made a game ? I thought not. You are just jealous.
@@Gatorade69 Bait used to be believable
It's crazy that they considered Overkill's The Walking Dead too poisonous to the brand and revoked the license after an initially subpar launch, but shit like this is a-okay.
Over kill made a game?
@@AceOfBlackjackAllegedly.
@@AceOfBlackjackTH-camr Connor Shaw did an excellent overview of Overkill's The Walking Dead a few years ago. They go over the extremely troubled development, the resulting fallout forcing Overkill to go back to making payday 2 dlc, and the terrible game itself.
that's obviously because the Overkill one was much higher profile, and that makes perfect sense. they expected that one to be good, but it was utterly unsalvageable trash. you honestly can't blame 'em for that-Payday 2 was awesome, so Overkill made sense giving the license to, and there's no doubt another world where OTWD is too.
this can be trash too, but people won't care. the expectations are infinitely lower.
I think the biggest mark of a bad is when it makes you want to play a better game. Just watching this video made me think of much better zombie survival games like Project Zomboid or Last Stand Aftermath
Made me want to play cataclysm dark days ahead
The NFTs not being cross-compatible is just great. Wasn't that the whole point?
It’s like how there are probably tons of dead “metaverses” out there for other nft crap that just dies within it’s own bubble with no feasible link to one another.
Just huge billboards or maps with some purchased land plots, but hardly any content or interactions. Full of tba mini projects and dead links.
time for someone to take screenshots of the licenses characters and turn them into NFTs. Basically making money by exploiting the grifters with something you don't own, but nobody can do something about it. Just to give those crypto game devs a bit of their own medicine.
I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact game structure in one of Josh Strive Haze's MMO videos. And, honestly, I kinda dig it.
Shame that NFT-bros got their hands on something fun and turned it into another cashcow.
Oh there’s dozens on the App Store, multiple zombie based, there was one Wild West Based, all practically Identical in formula
the game structure is basically last day on earth and all the clones that came out after it
@@theoneandonlyartyom
THATS THE ONE
Yeah it seems like a halfway decent time-waster with Diablo-lite elements. A little shallow but I could see myself getting lost for a few hours in it.
These games are Dime a dozen on mobile man it's fucking horrible and boring/repetitive
I dont normally accuse people of not being real gamers but people who play exclusively NFT games I feel are not real gamers, they care more about making money than having fun.
Grandma playing candy crush on her iPhone 4? A real gamer. Cryptobros buying up land in an NFT game? Not even close.
You're assuming that they play them. I don't think they actually do.
@@theflyingspaget Based take, Grandmas be ready to destroy your carefully crafted village in a puzzle game I respect their skills. Just like in Bingo and Slots.
@diestormlie
This right here. Technically I'd even consider board game and TTRPG enthusiasts "gamers" since it all basically overlaps, being fantasy/imagination games we like to immerse ourselves in, and I know plenty of video game enjoyers who lobe board games and vice versa. But people who are into NFT don't play games, they have hobby grinds to make cash. It's as ludicrous as saying someone who only touches video games to play test them is a gamer...I don't know how you'd fall into a job like that but you have an entirely different perspective on it when you're only doing it for cash and not out of passion for the hobby.
awesome breakdown. Thank you. I've watched 5-6 of your different reviews and am surprised how fair you're able to be. There is a litany of issues but aside from bad intent, the dev's dont seem to understand they're solving a problem that doesnt need to be solved per se. They're starting with the technology then trying (at best) to build a game around it instead of building an awesome experience or legitimately innovating on something then layering on blockchain and NFT tech in a way thats accessible and makes sense. Love your narration ability. Would happily watch other related content if you expanded the scope of the channel later
Id be interested for a review of Mini Royale-Mine nations (shooter) and My pet Hooligan when they launch. Ive played some of mini royale beta and its okay but will not compete with COD. Just would be good to add some more that are maybe not completely horrible. Also, curious what you think about Bored Ape Yacht Club's otherside beta test capabilitiy. Obviously the experience was super basic but from a computing performance level curious what you thought of how they were able to get 000's of instances of players in one area using Improbable???
4:42 I love how these companies create securities and then say they’re not securities as if them saying so matters.
If my grocer starts calling apples “not fruit,” they’re still fruit.
You're on trial for murder and your defense being "I'm not a murderer".
Not even Phoenix Wright could win a case that fast
If I were Robert Kirkman seeing what Skybound has done to my comic series I would be furious.
I think I’ve kinda noticed a theme, Walking Dead games work better if they take place in the same universe, but with a separate cast of characters (with a few exceptions) because you don’t have to follow the main story line, or idk, but they seem to do better than ones that follow Rick and the Gang
I agree. Why play the same story over and over. No surprises on story beats.
Or try to tell a different story, BUT all the main characters from the movies keep showing up "randomly," making the world (or worse, entire galaxy) feel smaller than a small farming town.
Star Wars extended universe has long suffered from this.
I'd say that CS2 doesn't count as an example of 'cross-game use' of items, because, as far as the Steam inventory backend is concerned, it's literally just CS:GO.
That said, Portal 2 on the other hand - If you have the Mann Co. Cap (and a few other specific hats) in your TF2 steam inventory, you will be able to wear that hat in Portal 2's multiplayer mode (in addition to your other cosmetics that are actually in your Portal 2 inventory).
I did not expect the name "Sherm" to make me laugh as much as it did.
Looks like bad so far, but there are some interesting stuff, it does have potential, i guess it's true that a lot of NFT games are just cash grabs. You are an underrated channel, you deserve more subs, documentaries and reviews videos take a long time to make so i have massive respect to you, keep going man.
“endless fields of trees, rocks and abandoned cars” isn’t really the least accurate way to describe Georgia tho lmaO
You have a point
Hello. I just came to this channel and this is my first video ever from you. I enjoy your presentation style and I think your grading system is extremely fair, refreshingly so, even. I'll watch a few more videos and consider subscribing.
Thanks for the kind words! I'm glad you like the video and hope to see you around :)
@@jauwn :D
I know this video was uploaded four months ago, but after binging your nft games series it's nice to hear how you've improved with your delivery in these videos
Still improving! Always appreciate comments like this that notice how much better I got 😅
This looks almost exactly like Last Day on Earth.
A mobile game.
Congrats on being the highest viewed The Walking Dead: Empires video!
And it will remain so until the game shuts down
Just take a quick look at games like "Stormfall: Saga of Survival" and "Grim Soul: Dark Survival RPG" for android and you can see pretty similar camera style, crafting system, base building and so on. There are tons of games (of diferent companies) that use the same engine/animation or at least copy the style. This one just put some extra nfts to get the moneys xD
Worse yet, some of the ideas could work pretty well on those games, but even the non-nfts games have stamina and other mobile crap that ruins the experience one way or the other.
@@ShubsNiggurathI'd take non-intrusive nfts over an energy system tbh
That's not so much the fault of the game but the fault of how the freemium model works. They have to have artificial limits so that people who are adamant on not spending a dime have to pay with time. @@ShubsNiggurath
It's extremely simple: This product exists to legitimize other NFT projects. "AMC is investing in NFTs. It's legit!" - that's the message.
There's a reason it felt like a mobile game, I'm pretty sure this is a unity store asset pack/template project or something with a walking dead IP reskin. I remember playing almost the exact same game (just an earlier, more basic version) with tons of the same mechanics and assets as this, it was a f2p app store game
while watching this i thought to myself how i would really enjoy TWD:E, a top down zombie survival game where you have to gather and make your own safe home while mostly on your lonesome, if it wasn't a cashgrab nft-game. then i remembered that i have Project Zomboid, which is an excellent zombie survival game that has all the positives of TWD:E plus more suspense and atmosphere, but none of the bullshit.
Man, not even the cryptobros are defending this one.
It's sad to see that video games are leaning more towards cash grabs, than actual fun & immersive gaming experiences.
What a goldmine this channel is. Thank you for your work!
According to the released screenplay for the un-made Fallout movie there was going to be a reveal that Vaultech itself was responsible for The Apocalypse so they could do their experiments and make billions in the world to come.
I think that's literally the plot of this game...
According to Tim Cain, the vault experiments were supposed to be tests for a generational ship
@@cyanidenightshade Now that would have made for a fascinating continuation of the Fallout story!
You guys notice there is an exploding zombie in every zombie game that has come out since the Boomer.
Is it REALLY a zombie apocalypse without exploding zombies?
it makes sense as an emey type if everyone has guns because then you either have to remove there guns or give the zombies guns which can go from pzs dead players mod to warframe infection where they hit everything but you
Idk which was the first to do special zombies, but I think L4D was on of the most widely known application of it, so like I find myself still referring to specials in other games like Chargers, Boomers or Hunters.
the only thing i love is the idea of giving reward of playing together (Owner and user get reward for using craft bench). This is something that could be used in a DayZ-like game, because that was my biggest problem with OLD OLD DayZ, that there was no reason to be nice. Except before it became popular. Where i had my most fun. I miss survival games that aren't like rust.
I basically wish for a game that is Rust and DayZ mixed, but it isn't a battle royal (i know these aren't battle royals, but DayZ basically was the grandfather of Battle royals, and Rust was a completely different game in very early alpha, that was seen as a DayZ clone, they also barely do co-op mechanics).
Besides that, at least they have a game, better than 99,99% of any other NFT project xD
I would never play such a game, and i hope that one day NFTs finally become extinct
i think the ONLY reason that would drive someone to play this without the NFT is that it's free. Project Zomboid is like, PHENOMENAL but some people can't afford it or simply don't want to pay for a game
Project Zomboid is $20, and was only $13 last month. I got over a 100 hours out of it and could do more. They are not similar at all, PZ is so out of this game's league they should not even be compared in passing
This game will never give you the experience of running from a horde in the deep fog, running down an alley, hitting a dead end, and managing to shoot down the few zombies that managed to follow you in, almost free to hop the fence (which you are already exhausted and could fail so you need to shoot them first to make some room) only for your glock to jam on the last shot and you lose a 30 hour character. The fact that looting is logical is incredible. It is also in the USA so every other house has a shotgun.
Being able to modify the zombies to be as dangerous or passive as you want, but it seemed pretty realistic because the first attempt I made I lasted like a day
Instead you get the thrill of buying land in the metaverse
@@felicityc Project Zomboid compared to this game sticks out like a saint amongst murderers
People are insane that they'd spend two grand on basically NOTHING.
Either that or they are the very people responsible for minting the NFT in the first place.
Blockchain is public but not completely obvious as to whos behind what, meaning the rich can artificially pump and dump NFTs that "sold X images each for x dollars" to make it seem like tons of people are buying, looking to bait other rich dummies afraid of missing out
Sometimes I wonder if it isnt just all money laundering.
I just don't want to believe that people are so "financially dumb" that they keep buying into this scam.
Yet again, the saying "A fool and his money are easily parted" exists for a reason :/
I never heard that saying
idk if anybody has mentioned or noticed this, this game is basically a carbon copy of a pretty old mobile game called Last Day on Earth Survival, looks visually the same even the icons on the top right of the screen like the hammer, backpack and crafting bench are straight up images used in said game.
Likely a reused asset
"More than a brand new Tesla", True, until the teslas Battery gives out and becomes a Yummy 550LB Lithium Ion waste box that we can only recycle 5% of. Gotta love the "clean" future.
Imagine if everyone had a Tesla! 😅
Or.. if we just used electric trains and trams, like we used to. And didn't need batteries..
How is this relevant to the video?
@@simarkarmani4034 it's a direct response to a claim made by the author of the video in his video.
Do you have any other questions that can be answered by watching the video?
its sad that I'm genuinely impressed by this game. Like.. it looks boring and uniteresting, but like.. it looks like an actual game, maybe even something that could be fun for a couple of hours. And i mean, for a crypto game, that's impressive!
But like you said, nothing about this game needs to be crypto. Its literally just so they can sell microtransactions at a very not micro price.
Macrotransactions, if you will
Yep, looks like it sucks. Accurate analysis once again. Nice work Jauwn!
It's hilarious these cryptoscams have their own acronym to describe realists making fun of them.
I'd never heard of FUD before, and it really sounds culty, lol.
They invented nothing, it's an old term. If they had that kind of creativity they wouldn't be involved in NFTs
@@johnq4951 words of truth, cryptobros can't be creative if their lifes depends on it
The best walking dead game (Ive played) is without a doubt the arcade game with the crossbow because I know that shit has to have traumatised a child at the arcade and I think that's amazing.
I really enjoy your inflection and tone of voice. It's just so earnest. It's very strangely uplifting lol. I am a new follower and have loved both vids I've watched so far!
I know im about, a year late but
The fact that not even NFTs in the same franchise can crossover is hilarious considering the selling point for gamers is "you can bring your NFT items to other games!!"
Keep your eye on Mirandus, GALA Games NFT MMO. This is the game that will expose the empty promises of complex games on the blockchain.
As the launch of Mirandus will probably cause $GALA to crash, I predict it will never go beyond imvite-only play testing, and will never actually launch.
Yeah, I'm really not sure how that game is going to fare. It's been hyped for years now, the horse NFTs cost 2x more than buying an actual horse in real life, and there's been absolutely no gameplay footage so far? Alarming to say the least
@@jauwn Mirandus exposes all the weaknesses of GALA Games.
First, it involves ubiquitous NFTs. An Exemplar is your character's Body, which is an NFT, while each individual player who uses that character, has a "Soul" associated with it to account for individual development. This is a huge crack in the game, showing how you have to contort the mechanics to account for multiple players using the same, or possibly the same type, of Exemplar.
Almost every piece of gear--armor weapons and tools, are NFTs. Some character abilities are NFTs, as are licenses. Almost everything a player can be said to "own" is an NFT, mounts, pets, property, licenses, and so on. Blue prints to craft items are NFTs, as are significant crafting components.
Materium, the main currency of Mirandus, is a cryptocurrency, and is used not just to buy and sell items, but to cast spells, substitute for crafting ingredients, restore resource bars, and recover from death.
None of this can be avoided because the entire point of Mirandus is that players own and can sell everything on the block chain. Compared to any other proposed block game, it will be a nightmare.
With NFTs everywhere, players will be constantly interacting with the block chain. So what about gas fees? These have to be close to zero cost for the player, so this necessitates the GYRI block chain, which has no White Paper, but which currently is claimed will run at no cost to the player. How will this be accomplished?
Right now, it is owners of certain types of GALA Nodes who are running the GYRI block chain, and they are not being paid in $GALA, as initially described, but in I.O.U.s. That's not sustainable.
The greatest unanswered question is, "How will the Developers of Mirandus be paid?" Not through the gas fees incurred by players of Mirandus, who either aren't paying anything, or will quit once they realize how much they are paying for the block chain. There are no subscription box fees, or DLC. $GALA spent to buy NFTs from GALA Games is supposed to be burnt in order to allow more $GALA to be minted later without inflation. New NFTs will dilute the value of existing NFTs, and will squander good will with players.
Maybe the Developers could speculate on NFTs, Materium, and $GALA, driving the prices up and down as Mirandus progresses?
As long as the number of interactions with the block chain are minimized, it is possible to pretend to ignore the costs. Every time the block chain is touched, the more those costs impact game play.
Mirandus has far too many NFT interactions to succeed, and it's failure will reveal block chain gaming as a rotten hulk.
That's why Mirandus will either never launch, or die whimpering.
@@jauwn What are you talking about? There has been a tonne of gameplay footage and there has already been alpha access for NFT holders.
I searched "Mirandus Gameplay" on TH-cam and couldn't find a single video. If you have a link to a gameplay video, feel free to comment it here cause I'd like to see it
@@jauwn My previous reply disappeared, so I will try again. Maybe the Crypto Bros are reporting me for "false information" or "bullying."
Anyway, I have seen a couple instances of Alpha shown. One was a Goblin Shooting Contest, and the other was a Dice Game in a player owned NFT Tavern.
The most important points are that Mirandus will fail because of its dependence on the block chain, and that GALA Games will fail when the impracticality of the block chain becomes impossible to ignore.

When he commented that he couldn't find hardstone the brazilians on the chat started talking about that and one of them explained where and how to find it 😂
As someone who plays Foxhole, thanks for the shoutout, even though it's in a dumb nft game
Foxhole is awesome
"Mom, can we get Project Zomboid?"
"We have Project Zomboid at home"
Project Zomboid at home:
It's a sign that society is too prosperous that people can actively sell things that do not exist for thousands of dollars, and people are stupid enough to pay for it.
This is the equivalent of the "I have a bridge to sell you", only those people got a piece of paper saying they owned the bridge. These people paying thousands for NFT's don't even have the paper.
cool video , I forgot that the walking dead was even a thing
Same I was surprised to learn the show just ended a few months ago. I stopped watching around Season 5 or 6
@@jauwn Just like a lot people I know, and yours truly lol.
I swear I've seen this game before. It was a legit zombie survival horror game. Can't remember its name though. I do remember there being "resource" areas and your home base. You built up your base to get better crafting, and then went out to gather resources. One of the main dungeons was a research facility where you had to do constant runs to try and find the rare red chip or something to upgrade the antena for a new zone or something. Or maybe it was farming a key card to open another part of the lab. But yeah, almost the exact same game. (And of course it was a pay or grind game)
Last Day on Earth Survival, apparently, as many others in the comments have pointed out. If you can't already tell, I don't play any mobile games
This is literally an NFT version of a mobile game called Last Day On Earth: Survival
I love the concept about NFTs being about owning an item, so you can take it from one game and put it in another. Yes, we used to have that back in my day, it was called "Modding" and it was free of charge.
It's like that song about cutting down all the trees in the wild, putting them in a museum, and charging people to see them
I gthink ease of access should be 1/5 because I hate launchers, especially ones that run silently in the background all the time and reading the boring, boated terms of service is a requirement if you want to know if your PC gets spyed on and remote accessed.
Slightly off topic, but I get annoyed by game developers who write their updates and general info on Medium instead of on their own site. How hard is it to download a copy of WordPress, choose a simple existing theme and serve it from one's own web server? That would take no more than a few hours at most. I know I probably shouldn't be so upset because Medium is actually a descent platform, but I think it shows laziness especially by a developer to not have their own website and blog attached.
Bro this pisses me off too. Every single crypto game just uses Medium or Discord as their sole method of communication. It makes it insanely hard for me to do research since stuff is always deleted or just not indexed by search engines.
@@jauwnI assume that’s why they do it that way
@@jauwn Sounds like these dodgy CCG Kickstarter campaigns you see every now and then. They may not have a website for the game (or much of a website), they may not have a Facebook page... but $ to donuts there will be a private Discord server for backers.
@24:13 I realised that music is nostalgic! I miss the good old days with that song. ❤
Being mediocre is a rare achievement for these kinds of games.
I'm getting Dragon Quest Builders vibes from those first missions. Seriously, this game is really making me want to replay DQB to scratch that post-apocalyptic survival/resource-gathering/base-building itch!
3:20 "releasing" something with *fake price reduction is illegal in most countries* ..... ask Fallout 76 !
best youtube channel for crypto gaming,please play the mirandus playtest coming this month i think
Tried to watch it again for the first time since it aired. Still gave up after they escaped the first cannibals. Really tried to keep going but it's so ridiculous. Every season they find a safe place and the show could end.
For a second I thought your character was Scruffy from Futurama, well maybe Hulk “Scruffy” Hogan . “Scruffy doesn’t stand for this nonsense, brotha”
Terrifying Foxhole jumpscare. 10:35
It's really a shame, the concept of a Walking Dead MMO sounds great, it just sucks that it was made by greedy bastards
a lot of blockchain stuff adamantly refuses to be referred to as any sort of "investment" because they'd be subjected to government regulations if they were real investments (and hearing "investment" gives people a perception of something more long-term, whereas crypto is meant to have more short-term gains).
This looks like a neat free game to play on the toilet, if you're a teenager.
Oh my god this is so funny, i thought the Building system looked a lot like a mobile zombie game i play (last day on earth) but i chalked it up to coincidence but there seemed to have stolen pictures of actual items from the game for the icons at 16:42
I love your channel, probably many moonboys would hate watching your videos. I would like to see some reviews from other top game from the 2021 bubble, like Illuvium, My neighbour Alice and Aurory!
Well Illuvium is still unplayable and under strict lock so they'll never let me play
All you need to know about Walking Dead video games is that if Darryl is in the game; it’s going to suck because those are licensed by AMC and they do not care who they hand the license to.
I would be excited to see you review project zomboid as a comparison to show people how an isometric zombie game is really done. Great job on the content Jauwn btw！
This is code for code, model for model, a copy of a successful mobile game, they saw that game and replicated it. The only unique part of this is the fact that it's an MMO.
Legends Reborn, another Gala Games is going to launch Apr 6 on steam.
Out of curiosity, how bad does it seem to be?
it's another card game 😅 i think i'm sick of those
@@jauwn Card games are one of the best use cases for in game NFTs for several reasons.
First, because there is a direct analogy to physical CCGs, where collectible trading cards are bought and sold on multiple third party market places.
Second, the block chain is only touched when an owner's card pool changes, i.e., when the equivalent of a booster pack is opened, or when a single card is bought, sold, or traded. As these are generally paid transactions, it is appropriate to collect gas fees.
Third, while actually playing the game, you don't need to interact with the block chain at all, so game play does not suffer. Really, this is the flip side of the previous point.
So if any NFT game is likely to succeed, it would be a TCG. One could even argue that buying and selling on multiple secondary markets is a real benefit to players.
However, if Hasbro went bankrupt tomorrow, owners of physical Magic cards would still be able to play without interruption, and could continue to buy and sell cards.
Where as unless NFTs contain sufficient code in their public smart contracts to reproduce the corresponding game card in its entirety, if the publisher shuts down, players won't be able to play their game. If all the NFT contains is a reference to a database, then they are worthless when that database shuts down.
And the block chain does nothing to prevent the publisher from nerfing or banning any card.

@@jauwnYou got to do, what you got to do 🙂
Feels oddly like a third person version of classic Rust back when they had zombies
Calling it walking dead "empires" just makes me think of terrible mobile game ads that stole Age of Empire 2 screenshots for their thumbnails...
Great review of this game. I think you hit it right on
everytime I notice the twighlight town ost I feel like I am losing my mind then realise it is in fact the twilight town ost. The music is so faint but man impactful
it's so good
NFT Game are even worse than Predatory Triple A + Full Priced Game with Heavy Microtransaction combined
because that labelled "Blockchain" or "NFT/P2E" had little no trust containing "Imaginary Token" that can manipulate token value by Author of Imaginary Token (Risk of Abandon & Rugpull)
There is a game called v rising with 0 nft, 0 paywall does everything that this trash does, its 100* better but still gets boring after a month or two. It has base building, it has teleports, it has custom severs run local and also depth. It looks like with every game that blockchain just puts a game into a worst state. Also v rising isnt fully released yet.
NFT games will never make sense to me. One of the biggest arguments I hear in favor of them is: "What you own in one game, can be used in another. It's great!" but then it's never actually made into a reality. Meanwhile, you know what game DOES allow you to own something in multiple games? Fortnite! That game has like... what? 3 different games built in and all skins/emotes you purchase work through them all. And it's not NFT.
@@NokoFace same thing with TF2 and that game is way older even before the concept of NFTs were thought of.
If you have a game that's associated with it, you get a special accessory that cannot be obtained elsewhere. Some examples are:
- An Assassin hood and special Knife skin if you have Assassin's Creed Revelations.
- You get a special Octodad hat if you have Octodad: Dadliest Catch.
- There's also special Valve items (such as having Wheatley as one of Spy's sappers, the infamous Frying Pan, and wearing one of Half Life's headcrabs as a hat) that are obtained by owning their various games.
- Various items and weapons (most especially Natasha, one of Heavy's miniguns) for beating various characters from the Poker Night at the Inventory games.
Considering that the game is so much like a mobile game, I'm surprised it doesn't have a tutorial - usually mobile games have these ultra-frustrating forced tutorials where game forces you to click exact buttons in exact order for like half an hour.
18:34 that "algún Brasileño" made me laugh cause it's Way Common to find in game world chats 😆
Thanks for watching!

This looks like an EXACT copy of every single game like this on Android. All the graphics, the crafting mechanics, the cell, everything.
Why did you need to use a baseball bat when you already had an AXE... xD
HOLY SHIT THAT FRANK ZAPPA PEACHES EN REGALIA CHIPTUNE AT 28:10 IS SO GOOD, WHERE CAN I LISTEN TO IT ON IT'S OWN???
Lol I don't remember where I got that from, it was an old midi I had saved
why not just play a gatcha game at that point.
I already grit my teeth buying a $40 game. there is no way I would even consider NFT games based on price alone
This channel will be blowin up for sure since we almost in the nft bubble again
I swear someone has to get the rights, and make TWD game similar to DayZ, that would be just perfect!
Edit: Typo, also i think i've played similar game like this, but it had different name, or maybe my memory is fuzzy.
Fuck man, that frame of Pc vs Mobile gaming chairs is amazing. Im sure it was a meme beforehand or something but that's still gold.
Bad gameplay, character cards,land cards.... Y'all remember the Hyperscan
the horse that this franchise is beating has been dead so long that it looks worse than the zombies that appear in the show. they will seriously slap the brand on anything.
A fool and his money are soon parted. A rich fool and his money are always parted.
Tldr: video on Earth 2?
I've been looking for a channel that actually plays this crypto/NFT games! I've watched all your videos and they are fantastic (I didn't care for the BBY guy video as much, too many clips of him directly without enough synopsis or commentary to give it the proper documentary feel) but all these crypto game videos are just A+
I really want to see a video with someone showing the gameplay from Earth 2. It doesn't technically have a crypto yet, but it claimed that the in-game currency was going to be turned into crypto at some point.
I've seen dozens of videos covering the scandals and the scam aspects of it, but they recently introduced raiding and androids and things that sound like gameplay.
It'd be interesting to see what the gameplay is currently (vs their claims of making a 1-1 scale model of the earth like in the matrix)
Yeah, that might be kind of interesting! I've been following it for a while but never really bothered to try it myself.
I may consider it, I'll see if other people would be interested too. The only downside is that talking about Earth 2 immediately attracts a ton of bad actors who will copyright strike and spam my channel, and ultimately everyone who watches my channel already knows it's a scam, so is it worth the unnecessary heat to beat a horse that's already dead?
Probably.
Glad you enjoy the videos though!
