cRPG community sure helped tank OKAM reviews. On the other hand that Chinese game has no baggage attached to it, therefore positive reviews.

Honestly, if I was an outsider and was promised the Epic, open world and shit and what I got was a shitty version of Warband, I'd be pretty disappointed.
I think it would've gone over a bit smoother if they didn't make such a hype trailer about all the awesome stuff you can do in the open world. While it is not a lie (as it is stuff to come, hopefully) it was a bit misleading and lead to people being disappointed when all they got was a budget warband that looks a bit nicer.

Calling it a budget Warband is higher praise than it deserves. Right now it is nothing more than your generic indie-medieval-wannabe-open-world type of game.

What's up with OKAM anyway? Why/how has the hype "tanked"?

It's simple. People waited for two years in dark, then finally first public build aka early access was released. People expected finished game because they waited for so long but game is nowhere to be finished. chadz being Chris Roberts gave unrealistic dates, which they are unable to stick by.

Another issue is early access stigma and number of "similar" games on Steam which are also in limbo for years. That's something gaming community slaps on every new project, no matter how "young" it is. Therefore, reviews were Mixed. But thanks to intervention of disgruntled part of cRPG community reviews were further made worse, somewhat out of spite. So it is leaning to Negative spectrum, which means stay away from this game.

Combination of early access status, type of game which in its current form screams medieval survival (despite not being of the sort, but good luck explaining things to people) and reviews which are becoming more negative over time is hurting the future of this game. Even if they make it fabulous, some time will pass before word spreads and people came back to it and persuade new players to buy it. Currently, all hype is gone, dead in the water, finished.

Long gap between updates. A lot is resting on how great the next big update will be, since it's meant to fix a lot of what was wrong and broken in the EA release, as well as add a heap of new features and content.
