After Years Zero Sievert Is Still One of My Favorite Apocalyptic Survival RPG's

[@rickybuhl3176]

Considering the Dev has come out and said that we have the OG video you released for this to thank, for him reaching his Kickstarter goal and for us to have the game today - that we get a new vid along with the controller support and Ui update is just the bloody icing on the Zarkov cake. GGs sir.

[@GameTimeWhy]

That's amazing. I love how splatt and the community are able to help bring these gems to life.

[@idontwantahandlethough]

CONTROLLER SUPPORT?! I thought that was a forgone conclusion! I even made my own "controller support" for Zero Sievert using some finagling of steam controller "mouse region" joystick function

[@TheLobstersoup]

That's so wholesome! I am drawing comic panels every day to work up to a release on webtoon. I really like drawing, but feedback is important for longterm motivation. And getting a monetary reward of course proves the viability of an idea.

[@TheAzrai]

"Alcohol in games removes radiation." Reminds me of the movie Screamers, where everyone had to smoke red cigarettes to keep the radiation at bay.

[@LaserGadgets]

Reminds me of that simpsons episode where they had to smoke to get rid of.....what was it again? :)

There is some truth to that. At least the red part. Red peppers have been proven to have a strong radioprotective effect

My man, in the last 2 or so years that I've been following you're channel you have introduced me to many game's I never thought I'd be interested in playing, I've always been into the AAA type of game's and with the sad state of AAA gaming at the moment you have brought new life into gaming with these video's there is hope that AAA gaming will once again find the love and passion to put into those games again like these smaller dev's have brought back to life, Thank you my friend!

[@Trebleblues]

Splat is the GOAT of indie games bro. I love him I bought this after this video and truly enjoying it.

[@chloewebb5526]

i bought this on steam when i was kinda broke a few days into it's first version's release, but felt like there just wasn't enough content yet and wanted something that would last a bit longer (i was on a no-disposabe-income-at-all budget at the time....) so I did a steam return. But this month I heard there were more levels as well as some good mods, so I just bought it now that its 1.0 and can't stop playing it. The level design, while being rondomized, is still carefully crafted in a way that you are never feel bored or cheated. You can always run and hide behind a tree to reload out of the enemy's sight and surprise them with a fresh mag to the dome. This developer clearly has so much love for the STALKER series and gave us something fresh but inspired by the freeplay stalker mods like Anomaly, and also EFT (which is clearly inspired by the Stalker gameplay loop, but in a multiplayer way). Aparently EFT was only supposed to be a stepping tone to the real game that Battlestate Games wanted to make, but their gme design attracted a cult following that kinda blew up in a way they didn't expect. Originally it sounded like they wanted to make a gme where you traveled between maps with roaming squads, something kinda like the Stalker series. Dunno if we'll ever get that game, but they'll have stiff competition with GSC now if they do.

[@markrichards7377]

This game I play on the same mode as you. The experience is great, and it has funny moments. Watching people play or describing the game who don't play like that, it's like we're on different planets. Specifically I laugh when they talk about armor progression because I've never experienced armour progression. Because I'm always just trying to get by.

[@loveless131]

When he said he needed the pillows for building up his base I was like, ooo pillow fort building? Now you have my attention.

[@IvanSensei88]

One thing I wish they implement soon is the ability to make the AI cooperate with you (either by paying them, or doing a quest, or having enough rep etc), and to have these pre-set locations, a bit more randomized in terms of enemy placement, quantity and quality. I literally memorized every single spot where the enemy is when going to sawmill for instance... I'd rather be constantly on my toes and not know exactly how many there are and where they are positioned.

[@Maybegetakitten]

Every time I come back to watch this channel after a small break, you manage to casually and effortlessly make me crack up within the first 30 seconds of talking. Today it was "I'm not a crazy person". The way you said it absolutely sent me. Love your videos and all you do, man. cheers

[@disturbancecontrol]

I love this channel, but Splattercat, you absolutely crack me up at times, because it seems like..... Dragon Age: Origins=Escape from Tarkov Caves Of Lore=Escape from Tarkov Geneforge=Escape from Tarkov Ember=Escape from Tarkov Black Mesa=Escape from Tarkov Dungeon Siege 2=Escape from Tarkov Barony=Escape from Tarkov Dragons Dogma=Escape from Tarkov The Black Grimoire: Cursebreaker=Escape from Tarkov Lets not forget... Escape from Tarkov=Escape from Tarkov I'm being ridiculous, but I think its funny how many times you mention Escape from Tarkov in most videos, as always great video and I'll be checking out Zero Sievert thanks to you and have a good day to probably the only San Franciscan Non-Military guy that impresses me with a deep knowledge of military weaponry and jargon, that coming from a former US Army Recon Scout.

[@Zaxth]

Really enjoyed this video. Very fun and informative. Definitely picking this one up!

[@Amaryllis6731]

Not sure if this comment will become redundant as I continue watching the vid, but right now I'm watching the first couple mins and notice that you don't know about the new range mechanic. You have to look at the crosshair when you shoot. White means you'll get a normal hit, red/pink means you'll get a glazing shot(essentially just a fraction of the dmg you can do), and a red 'x' means that the shot will do no dmg. The range of the different colours depends on the weapon classes. It really is redundant hahahaha. Well, I'll leave this up anyway incase anyone looking to get into the game wanna read this. Also, small tip for anyone who doesn't know yet: putting your crosshair on the enemy directly increases your accuracy slightly

[@TheKillerham5ter]

It’s been so long since i’ve watched a Splattercat video, I think the last one was about some medieval survival type game (Don’t remember the name.) Life got hectic with college and moving out but now i’m back to a sense of normal. I saw this video pop up in my subscriptions so I gave it a click. When I straight away heard “What’s up guys and gals, welcome back to the nerd castle.” The amount of nostalgia that hit me was like a wave and took me back to those early years of comfort, glad to be back ✌️

[@AussieBoyLloyd]

i play the shet outta this game.. and i got it day 1 after watching your first covering of it back when you had to download it from the discord before it got green lit for steam .... and i've loved it ever since its definitely the most active dev i've ever come across always fixing anything broken lickitysplit, releasing more content and just being top notch... by far one of my favorite games hahaha and i didnt know about the networker which is going to be so helpful i'm so glad you continue to cover this game cause yeah i would never have known about it otherwise and by the sounds of it it might never have been a thing... and i'm so thankful that it is a thing cause its awesome

Baiting enemies into another faction is a tried and true tactic. I once had a VIP target and strafed all the way into a green army camp as I had no AP rounds to punch through his and his goons' armor. Guy had 2 bodyguards with kitted out AKM's and he had an AS VAL which carried my run for a good while.

[@timecowx]

Question for those who have played this: A couple times in this video Splat mentioned hearing things in the environment. Is sound like that a major part of success or more of just a slightly helpful part? I tend to play games while listening to other things, like having a video playing on the side, so is this more of a headphones on, pay close attention to noise kind of game or is that not crucial? - Thanks

[@TheAzrai]

VERY useful to have good sound awareness. There's some things out there that if you hear their footsteps from behind a wall, you won't want to go around the corner unless you got some powerful gear, and lots of ammo. Also, knowing which direction gunfire is coming from, and how much of it, will tell you where to go scavenge or which area to avoid.

[@franksterboogie2657]

You will have a bad time when not hearing footsteps, shootings, animals etc.

[@joshmartin2744]

Just like what @TheAzrai said. This isn't a casual, play while you listen to a podcast, kind of game. This is a lose your life in a split second because you weren't paying attention, kind of game.

[@ohdubwest7533]

I love the gun modding in this game. The mechanical updates have been nice, but I’m really wanting to see some new areas and base upgrades.

[@thegrayjedi5202]

I love the idea of this game and kinda wish they’d make StoneShard with this survival and extraction aspect. A top down 8bit medieval extraction game would be so fun. And of course I REALLY think they should do like Hell is Others and add a multiplayer/pvp mode as well. Single player certainly has its place but it’s always fun to spice it up with online pvp. Or even a full on MMO version like StalCraft.

[@LeQuietKid]

The fact that ZERO Sievert was made in GameMaker, which isn't known to be the best game engine as you quite literally have to make the lighting, particles, physics, etc by yourself is honestly so impressive. It really just shows that it's the user, not the tool

[@klemklemius5091]

I adore the fact that you show lesser known indie games. Some are so good I (and others) would be interested in gaming content of said games? In this channel or another? Of cource, the reviews should continue.

He used to do that a long time ago. These days all of his time is taken up by doing these reviews (and all of the administration that goes into it).

[@rhawkas2637]

Sometimes he'll stream the games he shows off on KZbin if he doesn't feel like he really dug too deep into the game, or if he just really likes the game and wants to play it more. He's on Twitch at www.twitch.tv/splattercatgaming and streams fairly regularly (he pings the Discord when he goes live and he's pretty active there).

Remember higher class armor is good but they are also more fragile than their lower class counterparts, meaning enemies will need higher penetration to damage you but fewer number of "lower penetration" bullets to damage it enough to render it "useless" against bullets

Is this game enjoyable if you're not so into the gun knowledge/modification side of things? I really like the look of it (I'm into the hardcore survival/gunplay aspect) but I've never gotten into the balistic aspect of games that have it. In example, in New Vegas there was a lot of gun and ammo modification mechanics and I paid no, to cursory, attention to them over the many times I've played through that game and it didn't affect my enjoyment of it.

[@rapier992]

Copy pasting my comment from the previous video + adding some things not straightforward that I'll point out: - If your cursor is red, you are not in the optimal range of your weapon/ammo. You should re-position. You can still shoot, but you need to have your cursor very close to the enemy (from what the dev said... I had good surprise with shotgun slugs myself) . *- when you reach level 9/10 on a skill, you unlock perks available on your PDA. that one is a bit too hidden* - Ammo penetration value is very important. *you will do no damage if your bullet is deflected by an enemy's armor*. you need 10 more penetration for each additional armor class (for example, a class 4 armor will be penetrated by 5.45*39-AP, but a class 5 will shrug it off. Of course you can also bruteforce the armor but good luck surviving that :D (it's doable). brown bandits are basically naked (except the boss at the center of the forest, be careful. He has class 4), and green bandits have a class 2 armor. characters with better armor look beefier (different sprites) - *You can cancel a daily quest you no longer want to do in the PDA (`J` key)* - Since the guns rework, shotguns have become really powerful if you don't panic. You can use buckshot at close range, and slugs at mid range are enough to one-shot some NPCs. I usually run endgame with a buckshot shotgun and a powerful bolt-action sniper rifle - Pistols are very ergonomic and you can switch to them very easily. they are also quite powerful on lightly/unarmored targets. - The weight of the weapons you carry in your equip slots does not count. you can swap your equipped tiny makarov for a bulky gun you don't care about and want to scrap - Building a workshop is an important milestone (allows you to repair stuff using metal scrap + weapon scrap). This means you can pick up a powerful weapon and repair it (such as the 9x39 gun from the forest boss, or a more common 7.62x39 AKM (ECM ingame)) - (Take this one with a grain of salt, I wrote it before the Networker gave good rep). ammo bench is good too. Also, use hollow point bullets on everything not armored (they are way cheaper to build/buy AND do extra damage). When you'll progress, you'll be able to craft AP bullets that are normally gated behind reputation / looting - There is a quest with 3 available rewards to pick, including NVG. Pick the NVG, they aren't sold before you have a big amount of rep with either Green or Crimson - when you create your save, you can customize some settings such as how much money the trader NPCs have, or the reputation increase scale (Bump these out up, it makes the game less annoying, and not really more difficult)

[@rapier992]

UI is a bit bugged, but I'm with SplatterCat on this one. This game has potential despite the bugs Guess I'll copy paste this again in 6 months or so :D

I wish in games like this you could strip the guns down for parts or donate stuff you don't want to bases/factions to improve them. It'd increase your protection indirectly and improve your faction rating.

Did you miss the part where you can scrap everything?

You can turn guns into scrap (used for making stuff) or you can take them to the mod table and (for many guns) take all the parts off of the receiver to put on different guns that those parts will work for.

[@writtenworlds]

Only weapons that were expressly designed for "assassination" can be called "assassination weapons". That is reserved for weapons designed for that, which are usually gimmicky, and obtuse. The VAL and VSS were both designed for Spetsnaz. There is a Forgotten Weapons video in which an actual Russian named Max Popenker, it's titled "AS Val, VSS Vintorez, OTs-14 Groza, and more: 9x39mm with Max Popenker". Check it out, it will explain the actual history of those guns, which has nothing to do with "assassination".
