Oh look, it's another dead indie multiplayer game. How original. They got a few awards when they were still in Early Access in 2018, and they're still in EA in December 2021.It's pretty embarassing how quickly this died. The game was given away for free only two weeks ago, it hit an all-time high of 49 players and today only 7 people played it. That is, they booted the game and waited for a match. I doubt they found one, i didn't. There aren't even bots or anything.
The actual gameplay seems rather lacklustre. You drive your car and fire auto-aiming shots at the enemy. Who makes a shooter with auto-aim?
However, there is one highlight. This game fails in an exciting new way! I actually thought the game crashed or something when i clicked on menu options, but it's actually in-cre-di-bly slow. I have never ever encountered a game where opening the settings menu took 11,6 seconds (yes, i timed it). It's not a hardware problem either, 1K or 4K gives the same result.
KEO also has an obnoxious main menu screen with loud music and flickering lights. And a weird tutorial that doesn't properly register when you take the required actions. Seriously, how has this been in development for 3+ years?
