The story in the game is often described as vague and lacking depth, with many players feeling that it fails to engage them beyond the initial tutorial. While some appreciate the world design and customization options, the repetitive fetch quests and confusing mechanics detract from the overall narrative experience, leading to frustration rather than immersion. Overall, the game is seen as more focused on gameplay mechanics than delivering a compelling story.
“Fantastic world design, great customization, and a fun story.”
“It's a story-based game.”
“They don't lag, they are mostly just the ancestor figure talking at you and they add a vital element to this complex 'world' and story.”
“The storyline is vague, rough, and mostly nonexistent.”
“But seriously, you won't give any thought to the story past the opening and the 30ish minutes you spend with that game teaching you stuff.”
“Hours of bland, boring early tutorial quests that involve running long distances over long, uninspired landscapes looking for rarely spawning animals or NPCs that will probably get shot out of your arms while you're trying to run back to an extraction point with them.”

The gameplay of the game features a mix of innovative mechanics and engaging concepts, but it is marred by performance issues and a lack of polish. Players appreciate the fun combat and unique abilities, though some find the mechanics can be janky and require trial and error to master. Overall, while the core gameplay loop is enjoyable and offers a variety of activities, it may not appeal to everyone, especially due to its early access state and some frustrating bugs.
“It has great concepts, gameplay, and interesting mechanics and designs.”
“The gameplay itself and what you find yourself doing is a lot of fun.”
“This leads to a wonderful gameplay loop of: exploring the island, finding buried treasure, gems, villages, capturing boars and deer, before taking them to the extraction point.”
“Really amazing concept and theme, sadly let down by horrendous gameplay and performance.”
“In short, gear comes down to trial and error; trying to understand game mechanics is a futile effort.”
“The graphics look nice, but the gameplay feels clunky.”

The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including low frame rates even on high-end hardware. While a recent update aimed to address some of these concerns, players still find the game poorly optimized and buggy, suggesting that further improvements are necessary. Overall, those sensitive to performance issues are advised to wait for additional updates before diving in.
“We just released a major optimization update on January 24, 2023, that addresses most of the community feedback and previous issues.”
“It is a bit rough around the edges in terms of optimization and some animations need a bit of touch-up, but the game is fun and there are quite a few build options available.”
“While yes it does need optimization on the graphical front, it's honestly impressive how little issues I've had on a 3-year-old laptop given the number of particle effects that are always on screen.”
“The game is terribly optimized; I keep trying it, but getting 60fps is an absolute pipe dream. On minimum settings, it still struggles, suggesting it's just that it's super early access, and being that they never update it, that probably won't change.”
“I really wanted to like this game; sadly, it's bad... really bad. Poor performance on my rig, which is a Ryzen 9 3900x, RTX 2070, and 32 GB of RAM, was struggling to keep constant 50+ fps, which is only thanks to my rig totally overkilling it. The game was still horrible to enjoy.”
“This game not only needs to be optimized, but when it actually runs well, it's bland and boring.”

The graphics of the game are generally appreciated for their unique art style and aesthetic appeal, but many players report significant performance issues, including low frame rates and graphical glitches, especially during intense gameplay. While some users have managed to achieve decent performance on lower settings, overall optimization remains a concern, with many recommending further improvements to enhance the gaming experience. Despite these issues, the visuals are considered pleasant and fitting for the game's theme, suggesting potential for future refinement.
“I enjoy the aesthetic of the game and music a lot; it touches on a lot of notes my brain has been missing through the years somehow.”
“It is so creative and unique, and I just love the art style.”
“Despite some framerate issues and some odd-looking animations, I do recommend giving this game a chance. The visuals are genuinely pleasant to look at, and the sheer originality in how all the characters look is also something to praise.”
“Somewhat slow framerates at times, even on lowest graphic settings.”
“The recommended settings with graphics cannot run this game at 60 fps, dips of 40 and 25 in the beginning of the game.”
“Graphical glitches are present and air-based enemies are near impossible to hit with their small size, their speed, and your slow projectiles.”

Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, particularly due to the overwhelming number of upgrades and fetch quests that require significant time investment for minimal rewards. While some enjoy the resource farming and crafting elements, many feel that the grind becomes especially burdensome after reaching higher levels, leading to a sense of frustration and monotony. Overall, the game offers enjoyable mechanics, but the grinding can detract from the overall experience.
“The upgrade systems are ultra grindy, quite tedious, and unbelievably wide-ranging for very few actual benefits. Basically, your base has like 400 things you can upgrade, and every one of them takes ages to make progress in, with the benefit being just a few percent.”
“The game itself can be fun for a while but gets needlessly grindy after around level 50-60. Up until that point, leveling feels smooth and somewhat rewarding, but after that, you just get teased by meaningless level-ups that don't unlock anything new, as upgrades only really come every 10 levels.”
“The next major issue I'd like to point out is the otherwise tediousness of gathering and rescuing the kinsmen, as well as hunting and capturing the wildlife for upgrades to the homeland. It takes far too much time for what should be a rather easy-to-adjust process.”

The game is currently experiencing significant stability issues, particularly in multiplayer, with frequent crashes, bugs, and glitches that hinder gameplay. Many users report problems such as freezing during respawns and loading, as well as incomplete features and lag spikes. While players acknowledge these issues, they also express enjoyment and potential for the game, recognizing its early access status.
“Game constantly freezes or soft locks itself during respawn, loading, and fights.”
“Only problem I have with the game is the multiplayer; it's just so buggy from invisible overseers to loot not being dropped and the game always crashing.”
“Very buggy, to the point where it is (almost) unplayable.”

The humor in the game is characterized by its sarcastic tone and gory, slapstick elements, with players enjoying the comedic effects of ragdoll physics and absurd scenarios, such as launching enemies into the air. While some bugs can be frustrating, many are seen as amusing rather than game-breaking, contributing to an overall lighthearted experience. The game's fast-paced action and quirky interactions, like picking up villagers, further enhance its comedic appeal.
“Have you ever wanted to play an open world, sarcastic, gory, hack and slash game? Just buy it.”
“The ragdolls from explosions and charge attacks are absolutely hilarious.”
“The game has great speedy movement and it's hilarious to pick up villagers to take home with you.”

While some users note that the sound effects and music could use improvement, they believe these issues can be addressed through developer feedback. Overall, the soundtrack is considered decent for an early access title, with potential for further enhancement.
“I enjoy the aesthetic of the game and music a lot; it touches on a lot of notes my brain has been missing through the years somehow.”
“The music is very nice, as far as early access goes; there are plenty of areas for improvement.”
“The music from what I have heard is great and matches the area.”
“The music and sound effects are a bit off, but this can be fixed without a huge fuss as feedback reaches the devs.”

Reviewers suggest that the game's monetization strategy may need reevaluation, recommending either a shift to a free-to-play model with microtransactions or a price reduction to sustain its player base. There is a strong sentiment that the game has potential, but its current pricing may hinder its growth and longevity.
“My only advice is to either make this game free to play with microtransactions or reduce the price; otherwise, this game will just die with its current player base.”

“The character design, while restricted to male or female options, achieves a commendable balance, presenting characters that are neither over the top nor lacking in presence.”
“The character design, despite being limited to male or female, maintains a solid balance, allowing each character to present themselves effectively.”
