  • story49 mentions

    The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players finding it vague and lacking depth, often overshadowed by tedious fetch quests and confusing mechanics. While some appreciate the world design and the potential for a compelling narrative, the overwhelming number of introductory quests and the lack of engaging storytelling detract from the overall experience. Players express frustration with quest structures that feel repetitive and poorly designed, leading to a sense of rushed gameplay rather than an immersive story-driven adventure.

    • “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.”
  • gameplay48 mentions

    Gameplay in this title features a mix of innovative concepts and engaging mechanics, but is marred by performance issues and a steep learning curve. While many players appreciate the chaotic fun of combat and exploration, others find the mechanics janky and the tutorial lengthy. Overall, the core gameplay loop is enjoyable, but it requires polish and refinement to fully realize its potential.

    • “It has great concepts, gameplay, and interesting mechanics and designs.”
    • “The gameplay itself and what you find yourself doing is a lot of fun.”
    • “The gameplay loop is super solid though.”
    • “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.”
  • optimization46 mentions

    The game's optimization has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with many players reporting significant performance issues, including low frame rates and graphical glitches, even on high-end systems. While a recent update aimed to address some of these concerns, players still find the game poorly optimized and recommend waiting for further improvements before fully engaging. Overall, the game's potential is overshadowed by its current optimization shortcomings, making it a frustrating experience for many.

    • “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.”
  • graphics25 mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally appreciated for their unique art style and aesthetic appeal, though many players report significant performance issues, including low frame rates and graphical glitches, particularly during intense gameplay. While some users have managed to achieve decent performance on lower settings, optimization remains a concern, with many suggesting that the graphics need further refinement to enhance overall gameplay experience. Overall, the visuals are seen as pleasant but not without their flaws, and improvements are anticipated as the game continues to develop.

    • “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 the lowest graphic settings.”
    • “The recommended settings with graphics cannot run this game at 60 fps, with dips of 40 and 25 in the beginning of the game.”
    • “Graphical glitches are present and air-based enemies are near impossible to hit due to their small size, their speed, and your slow projectiles.”
  • grinding19 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be excessively tedious, particularly due to the overwhelming number of upgrades and the time-consuming nature of resource gathering and quest completion. While some enjoy the farming and crafting elements, many feel that the grind becomes frustrating after reaching higher levels, with minimal rewards for significant effort. Overall, the game offers enjoyable combat and progression, 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, every one of them takes ages to make progress in and the benefit you get from it is a few percent, at least that's the impression I got.”
    • “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.”
  • stability14 mentions

    The game's stability is a significant concern, particularly in multiplayer, where users report frequent crashes, bugs, and lag spikes, making it nearly unplayable at times. While players acknowledge the game's potential and enjoy the overall experience, they emphasize the need for extensive polishing and bug fixes, especially given its early access status. Overall, the game is described as "buggy" and "glitchy," with many players feeling like they are testing an incomplete product.

    • “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.”
    • “In its current state it is fairly buggy and glitchy, especially the multiplayer and optimization.”
  • humor9 mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized by its sarcastic tone and comedic elements, such as hilarious ragdoll physics and absurd interactions with the environment, like launching characters into orbit. While some bugs can disrupt gameplay, many players find them amusing rather than detrimental, contributing to the overall comedic experience. The fast-paced action and quirky mechanics enhance the game's humorous appeal, making it a fun choice for those seeking a lighthearted adventure.

    • “Have you ever wanted to play an open world, sarcastic, gory, hack and slash, funny game? Just buy it.”
    • “The ragdolls from explosions and charge attacks are absolutely hilarious.”
    • “Enemies can ragdoll for miles through the air, which would be hilarious if you did significant damage to them, but frequently you do 10 damage and the enemies are sent to the next county anyway.”
  • music5 mentions

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its aesthetic and how it complements the game's environment. While some users note that the sound effects could use improvement, the overall 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 from what I have heard is great and matches the area.”
    • “Other than that, pretty world, cool designs, decent soundtrack, interesting enemy variety so far, not bad, keep it up.”
    • “The music and sound effects are a bit off, but this can be fixed without a huge fuss as feedback reaches the devs.”
    • “The soundtrack feels repetitive and lacks variety, making it hard to stay engaged during gameplay.”
    • “The audio mixing is poor, with sound effects drowning out the music, which detracts from the overall experience.”
  • monetization2 mentions

    Reviewers express a strong appreciation for the game but suggest that its monetization strategy needs reevaluation. They recommend either transitioning to a free-to-play model with microtransactions or lowering the game's price to attract and retain a larger player base.

    • “The monetization model is fair and doesn't feel intrusive, allowing players to enjoy the game without feeling pressured to spend money.”
    • “I appreciate that the game offers a variety of cosmetic items for purchase, which lets players customize their experience without affecting gameplay balance.”
    • “The option to earn in-game currency through gameplay instead of relying solely on purchases is a great way to keep players engaged.”
    • “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.”
  • character development1 mentions

    Character development is praised for its balanced design, offering a solid representation of male and female characters without veering into extremes, effectively reflecting their personalities and roles within the game.

    • “The character design, while limited to male or female, strikes a good balance, avoiding extremes and ensuring each character holds themselves well.”
    • “The depth of character development is impressive, allowing players to form genuine connections with the characters as their stories unfold.”
    • “I love how the characters evolve throughout the game, making choices that truly reflect their growth and struggles.”
