About The Wild Eight

About this game

The mysterious plane crash was only the beginning. Eight survivors are stranded in the middle of an unforgiving frozen wilderness of Alaska. Don’t let it consume you. Find out the truth. Survive and live to tell the tale of The Wild Eight.

In The Wild Eight, always be on the move — it is your only way to survive and find out what happened with this mysterious place. It is a challenging and fun game designed for both teamwork multiplayer and an immersive single-player experience.

  • Explore and Survive - Embark on an adventure into the ruthless arctic wilderness and uncover the truth behind a mysterious plane crash that left its surviving passengers to die.
  • Cooperate - Join with other players online (up to 8 players in one party) or begin the dangerous journey on your own.
  • Hunt or Be Hunted - Gather resources, craft and improve your equipment at the camping site, escape blizzards and fight deadly beasts that lurk in the woods.

Ok if you're fine with issues that should have been fixed.

The last update was in 2019, but i bought the game in 2022 thinking it was complete. It has issues that should have been fixed by now. Specifically, -the bow misses shots if your target is slightly higher than you, because the aim isn't something you can control and it doesn't account for distance and arrow drop rate. -Items can't be deleted, and you'll get many junk items in the mid-late game. so i hope this doesn't hurt performence later, but i've had to just toss these items on the ground. they block your path and keep you from placing structures there. -Sometimes you miss an attack, and it's because the auto-aim has your character facing the oppisot direction of your target because it's really stupid sometimes. other times, you don't even know why you missed, but your ammo is gone none the less. -sometimes quest don't update, even though you did the latest task. it keeps telling me to loot a corpse that i already looted. So being that they're still selling this game, i find it a bit scammy to not fix these issues that you will certainly notice. Gameplay: aside from those issues, it is a game that you can enjoy. it's nothing top notch though. not compared to other games you could be playing. anyway i'm fine with the sale price of $6 that i got it for, but tbh even if i paid $15 i would feel like i coulda put that to something better. Multiplayer: been playing with my son and the MP works fine, only issue we ever ran into was sometimes i see him floating around in a sitting animation, and he can't hear the music box for some reason. both are minor issues. still, i think it plays better as a single player game though because we aren't able to share parts of the map we explored, upgrades to key structures aren't shared very well either. basically the game plays like the MP aspect is an afterthought.

Nothing Special But Worth The Dollar

Played it for about a half hour and it's a little annoying to play. It's worth picking up for the dollar I paid for it and I'll give it more time in the future but I immediately understood what the majority of the negative reviews were talking about after playing it for the half hour I played it. It has potential though so like I said I'm gonna play it more for sure and would only recommend it at around a dollar or two.

Fun game. I played solo, so progress was a little slow. I can see with more players you can get a lot more done, but I still enjoyed playing.

The Wild Eight offers a pretty engaging experience, particularly if you're a fan of survival games. The Alaskan wilderness setting sets a unique tone, and the challenge of staying alive keeps you on your toes. The cooperative element with other survivors adds an interesting dynamic, and the game's survival mechanics are well-executed. It's a game worth exploring if you enjoy the genre, as it provides a solid dose of adventure and excitement.

The feelig is similar to Long Dark. Won't dissapoint if you like the genre. VIP Mystery Bundle was a real disappointment.
