Tap tap revenge tour reviews. You need floors, power, water, air then the miner. So it's not a simple miner and your set.

Unless I'm missing something where the lift can link pipes and power lines down. My main play through I finally cleared the massive amount of molemen that had spawned next to the rift at the end of cycle 52. They had been spawning since cycle 10 behind a walled off area. Long story short, I had mined all of level one. Got to the rift and had to break things down to lay floor for a generator and linked it to the miner. After awhile I noticed the O2 was nearly gone on the second floor.I suggested in feedback any dirt wall that had stones when dug out would carry a little amount of material. You have to really plan out an amount to spare for a level claim.

Lessons learned I guess, as per OP just tear down some things and get a fraction of it back to use towards claiming the new level. Originally posted by:After playing this for a good 4hrs+, I really feel like the ore nodes should hold more ore. Once I upgrade, I fly through nodes. That is the main thing holding me back from the game. Also, the 'adult' period of life should last way longer than it does.

Yeah I started a new game and set ore to high thinking the amount would be higher. Nope just a couple more mines.Edit Age is fine but the elderly should be able to do one form of busy work instead of having to be shuffled to the death room.

And bump that population limit to something other then 100 please. Originally posted by:You need floors, power, water, air then the miner.

So it's not a simple miner and your set. Unless I'm missing something where the lift can link pipes and power lines down.If you're really running low on materials, you can get by with just the lift down, one single power line to the miner and that's it. Assuming your refinery is running on the top floor, you can manage to limp along getting some ore until you have enough materials made to then put down the flooring, power, water and all that stuff on the new level. It's very expensive to do all that first so if someone runs out of materials they are going to be desperate just to get the mine running. The colonists will go down there and dig / make floors and whatever even with no oxygen filters - they just won't stay long because it's bad working conditions. I went quite awhile with only one miner running on 2nd level because I had run out of materials and deconstructed a lot of things that had to be rebuilt before I could afford materials to start up air/water/power on 2nd level.

Originally posted by:Maybe the game could use disassemble-move option? So an unused mining drill could be moved to a different level instead of building a new one.Yes I'd really really like the option to move a miner instead of just having to disassemble it and then rebuild a new one. Same goes for other items you build early on and then invariably need to move as you enlarge your bunker. I had to move all of my freezers for the kitchen and that was a big waste of resources because I couldn't just 'move' them, I had to tear them all apart while building new ones first to transfer all the food into.

Realistically the citizens of your bunker would just move things around even if it's a slow process itself, you should still be able to use the same thing you've already built especially since everything is already repairable. I added the big reactor with my little one and dont think i had any issues., disassemble old mine machines for their resources.the material mined on lower levels is sent to your main storage on first levle so no reason to build the refinering unit or storage on lower levels unless you wish to.i too noticed what seemed to be more mats in lower mines though later on found lesser quility ones.also a cycle is about i would guess is ten years to 2 cycles in would be 20 years and those babies would be 20 and reeady to work.though when the older ones reach about 80 to 160 they are your elders.lol.

The Bunker is a full motion video (FMV) adventurehorrorvideo game developed by British game developer Splendy Games and published by Wales Interactive. It was released on Microsoft Windows, OS X, PlayStation 4 on 20 September 2016 followed by Xbox One on 23 September 2016 and Nintendo Switch on 9 April 2018.

The Bunker is Splendy Games' first major title as an independent games studio after having released the FMV zombie horror video game The Hunting on iOS and Android devices.^[1] The Bunker features the writers and designer of adventure video games, including The Witcher, Broken Sword and SOMA.^[2][3][4]

Gameplay[edit]

The game's player follows the daily routine of the main protagonist, John (played by Adam Brown), who grew up in a fallout shelter in Britain following a nuclear war. When an alarm is triggered, the player has to guide John around the bunker to venture into forgotten areas, recovering his repressed memories and unlocking the secrets of the bunker.^[5][6] The player is presented with live action footage throughout the entire game, with a point and click style of adventure gameplay. Utilising a third and first person camera, the player is presented with both flashback sequences and present day footage of an underground nuclear bunker.^[7][8]

Development[edit]

After releasing The Hunting, Splendy Games set out to create a more ambitious live action game with an increased budget and significantly higher production values. The Bunker was filmed entirely at the Kelvedon Hatch Secret Nuclear Bunker in Essex, England over 15 days, with the entire game development spreading over a year. For the main characters, Splendy Games hired a cast of actors including Adam Brown who had played Ori in The Hobbit film series, and Sarah Greene who played Hecate Poole in the Penny Dreadful TV series and who also voiced Anne Bonny in Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. The game also stars Grahame Fox who had portrayed Ralf Kenning in the Game of Thrones and Jerome St. John Blake who played various characters in Star Wars.^[9][10]

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

The Bunker received mostly positive or mixed reviews following the launch. Review aggregator Metacritic shows an average score of 68 out of 100 for the PlayStation 4 version, and 66 out of 100 for the Xbox One version. Praise was particularly directed at the game's narrative,^[11][12] and the actors' performance.^{[13][14][15][16]} However, the game's lack of interactivity was often criticised.^[17]

GamesRadarCode of princess. 's David Roberts lauded the game's sound design and music, remarking that 'the John Carpenter-ian strains of its synths and the quality foley work help sell some of its more distressing moments.. Playing in the dark with my headphones in, this scene got under my skin in a way few games have'^[18]

Anthony John Agnello visited the game for GamesRadar and called it 'PS4's freakiest post-apocalyptic game'.^[19]

After naming the game as 'the strangest game played at Gamescom 2016', IGN's Joe Skrebels said 'it's really weird and interesting and exactly the kind of thing you come to these kind of conventions to see.'^[20]

Stephen Turner of Destructoid praised the atmospheric mood of the game, 'The Bunker perfectly captures John’s sense of claustrophobia and paranoia with intense close-ups, security footage, and just a really good use of lighting.'^[21] However, Xbox Achievement's Richard Walker disagreed with this concluding 'A linear interactive drama that fails to engender any sense of genuine drama or tension.'^[22]

A mixed review by Eurogamer's Christian Donlan spoke highly of the production, stating 'it affords this production the means of incorporating a real Cold War bunker which, as Martin mentioned in his preview, is the true star of the show: a place both echoey and claustrophobic, and grimly evocative of old-school Britain in its range of institutional greens and greys'. However, he went on to criticise the game's limited gameplay aspects, saying 'The Bunker is a fairly simple-minded game – at most you will be tasked with finding the odd key in order to proceed through the linear plot – and while it's often a memorable one, that's more down to its setting and throw-back tech than its design or its narrative.'^[23]

Accolades[edit]

The Bunker has received three award nominations at the TIGA Games Industry Awards 2016 for Most Original Game, Audio Design and Game of the Year ^[24]
