  The Developer(s) behind this game have been great. A little after release, I found a minor problem/bug within the game. I asked if it could be fixed. Developer responds immediately and a patch is thrown up within an hour. I was absolutely amazed by that. Developer clearly puts in a lot of effort and I applaud that. In terms of gameplay there are other reviews out there and all I really can add: I enjoyed it, my father who is 30 years older than me enjoyed it, and It was really worth playing for a family game night.

  As one who have played the original flash game for more hours than I dare admit, naturally I have been hype for this game since I came across it when it first got on greenlight and was very excited when I saw it pop up on the steam front page. I was dissapointed, I got in the game and started digging, and the digging felt weigthless, the blocks just disappeared as with the old one you could see that you were digging through the blocks. And when I went to get upgrades there were no tooltips, no flavor text, only generic names and a set of boxes for each upgrade. It just felt empty. Also the world feels too bright, this might just be an effect of playing on a high resolution, but it kind of ruins the atmosphere for me. Other than that, They did a good job with the music and the fact that you can co-op (even though it's only local right now) is sure to be a big plus if you happen to have someone to play it with. This saddens me, and I hope in the future they will do something to the game to make me want to give it another shot because it's such a good game and I know they can do better than this.

  I remember playing Motherload countless hours in Miniclip many years ago. The original game had some cool mechanics that glued together very well. The drill mechanic was fun, the cycle “drill → get resources → sell → improve → go deeper” was rewarding enough to make you wanna keep going, the fuel meter brought that “push your luck” feeling that made you evaluate the cost / benefit of continue or go back to the base all the time. The first half of Super Motherload was exactly what I was looking for, it felt familiar and very enjoyable. During this period, I realized that the empty fuel meter does not kill you anymore, removing key tension moments and strategic from the original. Some new additions do not work well either: - The story is bland and forgettable. - The characters are shallow. - The decisions the game prompts you to make are meaningless. - The missions which objective is just to roam the map wishing to stumble upon items out of pure luck are just boring and effortless designed. The good thing is that any of these things are deal breakers and the core mechanic is fun enough to handle the game’s progress on its own and keep you engaged at least until everything starts to crumble. The issues start after you reach the last base. Once there you have to cover a ridiculous long distance to face the final boss, forcing you to make tens of travels back and forth in order to build yourself a path. At this point the main fun cycle of the game is gone because ship’s improvements are already pointless, this makes the whole section feels extremely repetitive, tedious and not fun. Once reaching the final boss things get worst. Fighting it required you a new set of skills that were not used in any other part of the game before. Also the boss is unforgiving, at the smallest error it’s game over and back to the base to repeat the excessive long drop before being able to retry the boss fight. This greatly adds to the frustration you already carried over on the last hours of the game wrapping up an overall very bad experience. I would not be surprised if the amount of players reaching the final boss and dropping the game without beating it is very high.

  I used to play the classic Motherload as an online flash game. This takes me back, but adds so much more to the original game mechanics.

  A great game, but found it completely unplayable due to repeatedly crashing during the simultanious use of C4 both single player and multiplayer co-op with my friend Kurt. I've troubleshooted on the forums, seen multiple people reporting it almost more than 6 months ago, with no reply and no news of a fix. If not for this, I would reccomend, otherwise, don't waste your money.

  Great throwback to the days of Motherload on Miniclip and Shockwave. I do prefer the older version which had no gimmicks like Magma Money and Smart Bombs. Those features are certainly useful for making money though, since earning in this game seems way harder than the original one. I picked it up during a sale for a bit less than $1.5, so I can't really complain. All in all a worthwhile purchase for the money 7/10 would screw Tiberius over again.

  i'v been waiting for this game for years, i'v played the original one so much. i was so disapointed when i bought and played this one, they have turned it into a more arcade style game, i was hoping to get some amazing mining game, sadly i was wrong.

  Playing this game with three friends is incredibly fun. It gives a great mix of interesting puzzles, leizurely grind, and the occasional frantic burst.

  (日本語レビューはしたのほう) I've played loads of Motherload since the original flash version, and been waiting for the release. I also backed it on KS(though it failed). I was sad by the early PS4 release and later PC release on this game, but it worthed a wait. You do the digging for resources, sell them and upgrade your digger. Deeper you go, richer resources found. It contains more puzzles than the original, requiring you to plan your routes, and use of bombs(Dynamite, TNT, Shaft Bomb, etc) for better profit and faster progress. If you dig resources in certain order(or combo), you get more profit. like "Platinum + Iron" = Rare Earth Magnet and is worth 2500, which is far more than those resources dug alone. These combos are unlocked with Smelter upgrades. Be careful with terrains(landing/hitting hard will damage you) and fuels to stay alive. on death you'll lose collected minerals on that run(on normal, Hardcore sounds like a permadeath but haven't tried yet). There are several characters and some unlockables have different stats than 4 main characters. Upgrades are saved on them except Radar upgrade which is tied to the world save. So, if you're stuck just go "New Game" with your previous character(You only lose radar upgrade but the world is renewed, so it won't be too hard to re-upgrade it). I know it's in Early Acecss, but there's stuttering problem on my computer. Particles and stuffs are not too optimized yet it seems. It has multiplayer, but LOCAL only. And the game is designed for local multiplayer(with shared screen and stuffs). If it really had online multiplayer, it would be instantly GOTY, all the time for me. 9/10, -1 from performance issues and no online multiplayer. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED. The Good: - Dig, Sell, Upgrade. simple and fun. - Still faithful to the original - Good controls(with Xbox360 pad). The Bad: - Performance problem - Radar could be bigger on singleplayer(or non-4 player games) ------------------------- 前作(2004年)Motherloadに凄くはまってた私は、この続編に凄く期待していたしKickstarterに寄付もしてた(失敗したが)。 PS4版のリリースが先で、PC版がかなり後になるという話はうれしくなかったけど、待つ価値はあった。 基本は「資源を採掘＞資源を売却＞その金でアップグレード」を繰り返し、火星の奥深くまで突き進んでいく。 前作よりもパズルめいた地形が生成されることが多くなり、ルート構築(前作と同じく、上へ掘ることはできないし空中採掘もできない)や各種爆弾の使用を考える必要もある。 資源を特定の組み合わせで掘ると、コンボとしてより高価な資源が手に入る(例：プラチナ+鉄=レアアースマグネット、2500の価値)。溶鉱炉(Smelter)をアップグレードすると使えるコンボの種類が増える。 ダメージバランスは前作より厳しく、落下以外にも横方向や上方向に強くぶつかってもダメージを食らうので注意。ノーマルなら死んでも今持っている資源を失うだけですむが、ハードコアはワールドセーブが消されるのではないかと思われる。 キャラクターは初期４人＋アンロック数人といて、アンロックキャラは初期とは異なるアップグレード上限と特殊能力を持っている。 アップグレードはキャラクターごとに保存されるが、レーダーだけはワールドセーブに保存される。資源を採掘しつくすか詰んだ場合は「New Game」で前のキャラを使えば、レーダー以外のアップグレードはそのままでプレイできる(レーダーアップグレードもそこまで高くないので、すぐに買いなおせる)。 早期アクセスだからバグやその辺は仕方ないかもしれないが、頻繁に動作が重くなる。その辺の改善を期待。 マルチプレイヤーが目玉要素として挙げられてるが、ローカル限定なので注意。ゲームデザインもローカル前提なのでほぼ絶望的だが、オンラインマルチが実装されたら永年人に薦められそうな名作と評価してた。 パフォーマンスとオンラインマルチ不可と言う点で減点して9/10。超オススメ。 良いとこ: - 採掘・売却・アップグレード。わかりやすく楽しい。 - 前作の雰囲気とスタイルそのまま。 - 操作感良好(箱○パッドでプレイ) 悪いとこ: - パフォーマンス問題 - レーダーもう少し大きくして欲しかった
