S.T.A.L.K.E.R. BASED MMO OPEN WORLD PVP LOOTER SHOOTER
Is Tarkov a tat too unfair for you? You like STALKER and/or fallout? You like cartoonish looking games?
If you are an MMO fan STALCRAFT might be for you.
LORE:
You are a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. (scavenger tresspasser adventurer loner killer explorer robber) drawn to the chernobyl exclusion zone from insufferable prophetic dreams. The source?
A mysterious artefact that every major faction in the game is aiming to claim for themselves. Those afflicted by the artifact are the blessed and you are one of them. Fight your way through the zone in order to claim the artefact and deside the fate of the blessed.

DEVELOPMENT:
Aperantly 7 years ago this game started as a minecraft bedrock mod, however a lot of work was put into it and the devs decided to work non stop on it for 6 years and came out with this funny looking yet very hardcore MMO looter shooter.

GAMEPLAY:
A progressive crafting system that rewards players who take their time to slowly advanced but at the same time provides free gear through main story and sidequests for those in a hurry.
A S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like experience with not just mmo but open pvp elements in the likes of Tarkov or Albion. The game however puts a twist on it by protecting your hard earned gear, when you die you only loose your ammo, healthpacks, and the crafting resources you gather at material runs which are sealed away in a backpack, so other players cant steal em so they have the option to sell them back to you or just freely mail them back to you.
(Not beeing a douche is highly rewarding when it comes to the crafting material system)
The game has currently 2 clients, a russian one which has more content that slowly makes its way to the Steam Client, so far the endgame is only an area called Linmask with highly dangerous mutants and humans, a high risk high reward area, for the steam client but the russian client contains PvPvE, PVP, and Raids and Dungeons as end game. (Which are slowly over the course of 2023 beeing added to the steam client).
PROS AND CONS.
Engaging open world pvp. The game makes use a player counter (with the exception of endgame areas) which doesnt allow you to know if the nearby players are friends or foes, building up tension making the open world pvp engaging,
The crafting system allows you carry over upgrades from your previous gun to the freshly crafted one,
there is gear for everyone.
Despite this beeing a former minecraft mod it looks incredible. The cube like shapes and HD textures on models add to its charm, and the dark enviroments nail the stressfull STALKER atmosphere.
All kinds of mods. PvE, PvPvE, PVP exist in this game.
CONS
The game is hard. Much like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. death is guaranteed, farming is always hand to hand with gunfights and mutants attacking you and now OTHER players.
Grinding isnt bad UNTILL THE EARLY PART of the mid game where you will hunt down a resource called "Pickle". Which will need you to invade enemy territory to farm but thankfully its the only risky to grind resource and has 2 alternative ways to farm which are safer but slower.
There are campers sadly and the only way to overcome em is squading up with friends.
There was a huge hacker wave at one point which was dealt with within a week, but NA server is full of toxic trollers and few hackers who love to harass streamers.

++++
AFTER MAJOR REBALANCES
++++
FARMING BECAME MUCH EASIER ESPECIALLY IN MID GAME TERMS.
The game straight up removed a whole tier of resources and reallocated spawns of resources as well as compensating players for the removed resources. There was even a gun rebalance overhaul which had a similar compensation system for almost everyone, among the cons i wish to add is that getting into a clan/subdivision can be tricky now, as well the only anti cheat issue. there isnt one, and although the TOS states that you might get permabanned if caught cheating, i am unsure of its efficience cause every month there seems to be the same amounts of bans. Which is the 2nd problem. The bans drop once a month,

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Cons-
Still no raids and dungeons.
FOMO Events lowkey.
Endgame Faction gameplay is seveeeerely one sided.
Pros-
We had a great. awesome event for the new year period and later on arena of slavs was also really good. (but they do make use of the FOMO strategy)
