  [h1] YANOGA REVIEW [/h1] [b][u] GRAPHICS - ★ ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ [/u][/b] ''Tribal Pass'' is a pixel-art runner game. While it have a good colour variation its not pretty beautiful even for a game that's made with Unity. [b][u] MUSIC - ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ [/u][/b] The same sound loop going over and over again. (And not even a good one...) [b][u] STORY - ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ [/u][/b] The Earth gets destroyed from a asteroid and a shaman and his tribesmen must run trough the villiages to save the world. Well thats what the first and only 30 second ''cut-picture'' will tell you about anything which is about a ''story'' [b][u] GAMEPLAY - ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ [/u][/b] Tribal Pass is a runner game. You running down with a couple of tribesmen and need to split them while running or chance if they got nothing in their hands to pick up berries or speers to hunt animals. Thats everything. You probably guessed right that a game that can be summarized in one sentence will also be just making fun for one playtrough. And thats the case with this game. It functions and I respect every dev for making their own games but this one is just so terrible mediocre that you will be better off playing every other Steam Game under 5€ which is on Sale right now. [b][u] WORTH BUYING - ★ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ [/u][/b] If you want to play a runner game than there a two options. 1) Go on your smartphone and play one of the 10000000 runner games on it or 2) Go on a harsh search for a good runner game on steam. Unfortunately Tribal Pass is not such a good game - just a sandcorn in the sahara of games that will never be picked out and surely will be forgotten when time chances. This game will bring you a maximum of 1 hour of fun. [b][u] LENGTH [/u][/b] : Played 2 Hours [b][u] BUGS [/u][/b] : No [b][u] PRICE [/u][/b] : Paid 1.99€ [b][u] DIFFICULTY [/u][/b] : Normal - Hard [h1] FINAL: 50 / 100 [/h1] If you like that sort of Review, check out my Profile for more!

  Funny game. In this game you will feel like the leader of a tribe and every person will be important to you.

  Shaman knows his ways ) This game is awesome! You will be clicking your way out of the deadly rhinos and sabertooth tigers, desperately trying to find some food so you don't need to eat your own tribemates, and escape the frequent bridges across the rivers (also deadly). And when your tribe safely stops for a nighttime, there are intricate text encounters waiting for you. Some minor bugs are to be expected (EA), but all in all the game is primal fun. 10 cannibals from 10.

  I was really looking forward to playing this game, and for the first 45 minutes it was fun. But it gets really repetitive quite fast as it's always the game enemies (understandable), and you have to go through this chat dialogue everytime you past the round, sometimes having a quest kind of thing (wish I found annoying to read as of the way it's worded). And once you past the first game, you move onto the real thing in which you have 50 days to complete (didn't say what the 50 days was four) so you end up repeating the same thing over and over and over to finish those 50 days. This is more of an opinion, as I don't normally write reviews and don't know how to do them.

  Cozy neat visuals and funny gameplay! A bit too hard for a runner, sometimes I don't really understand what's happening. Fed some fishes with half of the tribe in a first level - got the "Mass Bathing" achievement - funny as hell!:) The cool part - giving your guys some spears and torches and let them pick berries. Don't get ther sacrifice part so far, but getting along without magic quite well to be honest. To sum up, quite a fun, hopefully the devs will get more stuff and modes in release version, especially endless mode: I want a lot LOT LOTS of people and kill pterodactyls.

  A very simple game, but addictive with a neat visual style and a decent bit of challenge. Think an infinite runner mixed with the resource management and map travel of Oregon Trail. I paid $4.79 and feel happy with what I'm getting for the price of a burger or two.

  It's hard to believe, that there is a way to make something new in endless runner genre. Yet, they did it :) For me it's insanely difficult but still interesting.

  Its a nice game with an interesting concept. You have a tribe which constantly travels downwards. You can split and join them into a group of one, two or much more. Also you can choose to arm your people with spear, torches or bare hands. You will have to adjust your strategy quickly, for example, a large group with spears will scare off deers whereas a small one will manage to hunt it. On the contrary, if you meet a group of other people, you really should have a large group, or they will kick your ass. Overall, the game is fun, but it has some cons. It is not always easy to understand how to split your group to get a specific resource (Is it on the 7/8 of the screen? Should I split into 8? or 9? ), and you can kill everyone very easiliy by making a single mistake. The price tag is low, buy it and try it.

  Died non stop in the first 30 minutes because the tutorial didn't explain everything, but after you understand what is going on it becomes an enjoyable game

  It's nowhere as epic or difficult as it is described. Once you know what to do for each obstacle, it becomes easy and repetitive. I've seen flash games with more depth than this. I am refunding. Since someone asked, I'll put this here. A list of flash games that I'd rather pay for than this game. They're all free though. Sonny Sonny 2 Mardek RPG Chapters 1-3 Pandemic Pandemic 2 Infectinator (and its many sequels and spinoffs) Chibi Knight Epic Battle Fantasy 3 Portal: The Flash Edition Alien Hominid Pokemon Tower Defence Road of the Dead Road of the Dead 2 Super Mario 63 Super Smash Flash Doodle God Doodle Devil Rebuild Rebuild 2 Ching Chong Beautiful Scale of The Universe 2 (Not really a game, but I'd rather spend money on that than this) No One Has to Die KOLM One Chance

  Very fun given the overall small size of the game. If there weren't so much pixel blood I'd recommend it for children, but isn't overwhelming for a young teen. I bought it on sale and would rate 4/5 because they seemed to really stretch on making it more adult for no reason at all. The game could have benefited from a little more explanation of the obstacles, but wasn't too hard to figure out that pretty much everything kills you or steals your food lol

  Ex "The Tribe" e agora "Tribe Pass", é um jogo onde cada situação realmente importa a escolha certa. É interessante e explora a função de liderança por sua parte, na qual você emprega como um xamã da tribo e os guia através das dificuldades de explorar o mundo em busca da sobrevivência. Um game que para seu estilo está bem polido mas nada que não possa ser melhor e mais envolvente. Vale a pena a compra. Nota 6.9/10 (Sou bastante crtico vai por mim.) ;D

  Terrible controls. The screen moving vertically ends up messing up your vision for a few minutes. This game probably would have been better off on a phone rather than a PC with a large screen.

  Really nice game, and nice developer too. The gameplay is simple but well developed. It has a micro component (commanding your tribe across the land) and a macro component (plan ahead the amount of food you'll use and people you'll need). You learn by trying and losing, and although guides would come in handy, you're intended to figure out the mechanincs by yourself (and the author won't spoil you much about how to deal with X or Y), so bear that in mind. I'm not a smart player when it comes to trial and error; I find the lack of guides about game mechanics a bit frustratig but hey, it's completely fair. Very good game, recommended.

  There is splitsecond decision making and some tactical elements I suppose but it just never triggers the FUN switch in the brain. I gave it a shot and played about an hour and I just did NOT have any fun whatsoever. Making good plays does not feel rewarding and failing just feels whatever. There are many way better 1 euro games.

  A tactical runner? Oh, well.. A nice indie one! :) This game's premises are quite simple - you've got to collect food for your tribe (hence the original name of the game, simply entitled The Tribe, but that's another story) in order not to let it die, through the days. With its nice retro graphics, you'll be able of course to make many actions to get your goal. You'll be required to kill enemies in order to get food, but you'll also be able to pick up from the ground berries and such. With the left mouse button, you'll split your tribe in half - the tactical elements are quite nice - and in other halves, in order to avoid obstacles (you'll have for instance to cross rivers in selected numbers) and prehistorical enemies, get some food, kill enemies and so on in a different way. With the right mouse button you'll be able, always in a runner environment, to reunite the tribe again. As I was saying, the basic controls are linked to keyboard buttons and apart from hunting animals and grabbing resources you'll also be able to light torches to see through the night (endless runner from day to night of course xD) or even increase your fellow tribesmen (if you've got enough resources). Sometimes, it will also be needed to kill some of your characters in order not to have too many guys around you and save resources. I really liked the graphics and the historical environment, and also the changes from night to day and the different challenges with torches and so on, lighting up around you or scaring enemies and such. And I also liked a lot the user interface - the buttons you can press are clearly shown in the upper side of the screen, and since the game won't ever get too fast you'll always manage somehow to balance food, "population" and the actions you'll have to do. The main issue of such a game of course relies in its replayability - being an indie title, it's not that long and when you have explored every part of the game (the environments, the enemies, your actions, the night/day system, the point system after each day etc.) you're basically done. There's nothing more, and you need to love "endless" games in order to fully enjoy this title. Still, for some hours it's a solid indie game and it adds some new and nice things greatly blended in the game setting. The options may be limited, but it's worthy to explore them all and build some levels :) I didn't see a lack of tactical elements, as someone pointed out. You've got to manage lots of resources, to keep eyes on your tribesmen dying, to choose between spears, hands or torches, to split up and reunite your tribe and to get through the night to the other side of the map. It's not that easy, but it's somehow addicting for many hours. The lack of a proper plot and, more than all, real trophies and accomplishments to obtain of course is something that goes against this title - it's just endless, without a real ending or even bosses or such. But the developers themselves said that it was supposed to be as it is, and in my view it's a very nice title. Tactical, endless and runner :P I forgot to say something about the soundtrack, which matches the prehistorical environment but it's not that great - probably, the 2€/$ for the OST and the artwork aren't greatly spent if you don't get them as a gift or in some bundles, since they include only few musical tracks (extremely short, 15 minutes in total or even less) and all the game artwork, which is good in-game but has little use outside of it. I think that if you like survival games based on an endless and somehow "tactical" engine, this one is a great game. It's for sure worth a try even if you're not into this genre, since it's greatly made (ok, just some spelling errors I think, I played only in English) and everything (tutorial included) works perfectly, as the developers wanted Tribal Pass to be. The lack of upgrades/bonuses too doesn't help for the replayability issue, but still it's worth it in my opinion. I think you'll like it, you just have to be prepared and read something about it since the game will offer you everything you're reading here (I hope) and in other players' way better reviews than mine. You won't find many surprises in the endless night/day levels but still there's plenty of options and everything works perfectly, I didn't find bugs of any sort. I read many early access reviews, but fortunately now (and when I played it) is fully available and so don't worry about anything - if you like these premises you'll be addicted for some hours, just give yourself half an hour to fully understand the mechanics.. and have fun :)

  Welcome to Tribal Run: A Tactical Runner with its own unique gameplay. It is unlike any other game in the genre. You are the Shaman who must lead your people to a safe area before the sky fire destroys your village. Along the way, you are faced with many dangers. From wild animals, rivers, fire, insects,quicksand, and others things that will kill off your tribe if you do not lead them in the proper formations. There is no stopping during your march across the lands, you must march forward ordering your people to change formation to avoid danger & collect much-needed food till nightfall, or your people will die off fast. Released in later August 2016 by a collaboration of developers, including Tribe Tea, Stas Shostak, Evgeniy Yudin, Alexzander Protasenya, and Ruslan Viter and published by Stas Shostak. It is tagged as a Difficult, Action, Adventure, Runner, Indie title. The game holds up to the difficult tag, it will take a little time to get used to the mechanics of the game. The gameplay is fairly simple, using just your mouse to control the tribe's formations and the 1 thru 5 keys to control actions for the tribe. The game does have controller settings in the launcher even though controller support is not listed for the game. There is also a Leaderboard; Do you have what it takes to make it to the top of the list? I would recommend you start with the Tutorial and get the basics of gameplay learned before you start the Single Run. Once you have the basics down it is time to play your first game. You will have a choice of multiple routes to get to the new grounds that your people are to call their new home. Along with choosing to run at night or day, day runs cost you needed food, so choose wisely. There are various Tokens you can enable at the start of your second level to help give you a little advantage. There are multiple language settings: EN, RU, ZH, EU, ES, PT, FR, IT. So you are able to read the dialog in your native language. Once you beat the Single Run, you will unlock the Big Pass gameplay, which varies from the Single Run. For Big Pass, you work to move all the people from your village as fast as possible before they starve to death. The balance of your resources become very critical in this game style. With well-done Pixel Graphics, great sound effects and unique gameplay, for the asking price it is a nice little indie title to add to one's library. There is a medium replayability for the title. Though the title really is not very long. With unlocking the second play style and multiple routes for both the game styles, these options will give you continued play for a while. For you achievement hunters, the game has 14 achievements with most of them unlocking during normal gameplay, you can 100% them fairly easily. I had a rather hard start with the game myself. After about 30 minutes of trial and error, I got a good grasp on the gameplay and was able to beat the Single Run for my first time and unlock the Big Pass. It was very satisfying when I beat it for the first time. I am currently trying to finish the Big Pass, as promised the game is Difficult. But I will finish this title one way or another. I am having fun playing, even when I get annoyed at my misclicks from time to time. I may cuss and rage at times, but my goal is obtainable as I continue to get used to the flow of the game. My worse problem with the game is the night play, I am half blind, half deaf & half crazy :P and games with a lot of darkness give me a harder time playing them. Though it does not stop me in the least from playing my heart out still. I will stop gaming when they pry my cold dead fingers from the keyboard LoL. Now is your time to decide. Can you lead your people to safety? 7/10 Tribal Run: A Difficult Pixel Runner: Are you worthy to be the Shaman!

  Repetative and boring. Cute pixel stilisation. No upgrades. Boring timekiller. Nah, waste of money.

  Fairly low quality Unity game. Something I'd expect to find for free on a flash game website. Uninspired control scheme and poor pixel art style, this is a big fat tribal PASS.
