Supervive Exits Steam Early Access with Massive Changes in 1.0 Update Tanking 90% Positive Review Rating

Supervise , the latest free-to-play MOBA game launch from Theorycraft Games and NetEase Games, has just exited Steam Early Access with a sizeable version 1.0 update that reworks many of the game's core mechanics, introduces a new meta-progression system and permanent gear upgrades, increases overall time to kill, adds five new hunters, and expands options for aerial traversal. The 1.0 update also seems to have improved the game's Steam Deck compatibility, with many reports on ProtonDB now stating that the game just works with the latest version of Valve's compatibility layer.

Supervive launched in Steam Early Access in November 2024, and during its open beta period, it managed to garner 16,000+ positive reviews on the platform, compared to just 2,000 negative reviews, earning it a "Very Positive" review rating on Steam. Despite this, the developer, Theorycraft, has decided to introduce a "transformative swing" in the 1.0 launch in order to keep players engaged. Unfortunately, despite the positive reviews during the open beta period, not all Supervive players received the new game changes positively, with the game seeing an uptick in negative reviews in less than 24 hours since the 1.0 update went live. Some of the more detailed reviews say that too much has changed, and that Supervive feels like a different game or genre altogether. There are also complaints about balance and gatcha mechanics in the 1.0 update. Since the full-scale launch that introduced all these changes, Supervive's Recent Review rating on Steam has dropped to "Mixed," with only 63% of the reviews in the last 30 days being positive.
