    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is generally praised for its fun and addictive nature, combining FPS elements with crafting and light RPG mechanics, though experiences can vary based on random elements like recipes and weapon upgrades. However, some players note issues such as graphical bugs, a monotonous gameplay loop, and frustrating controls that detract from the overall experience.

    • “Highly addictive game with a bloody rewarding gameplay - totally recommended, especially noting the price!”
    • “I wasn't expecting this much for the price, it was a nice surprise, I loved the style and game mechanics, simple yet addictive, recommendable for all ages!”
    • “If you are looking for a good, yet indie out of the box sandbox game but with a surprising gameplay experience, perhaps this is your game, it lacks in some aspects of the game but the overall experience is very enjoyable.”
    • “Gameplay is weird, starts you off on an island and begins you with no knowledge of what to do.”
    • “From the first level to the one I'm currently at, the gameplay didn't change one bit.”
    • “The gameplay needs improvement on the controls; sometimes the input is either delayed or not readable at all from the controller.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics receive mixed reviews; while many players appreciate the voxel style and vibrant palettes, they also report significant graphical bugs that detract from the experience. Some users enjoy the aesthetic and find the visuals appealing, but others note inconsistencies in thematic design across levels.

  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story revolves around a plane crash on an island, but many reviewers find it lacking depth and engagement, describing it as basic and tacked on.

Players express a desire for a more creative and immersive storyline, as the current one feels underdeveloped.

    • “Likes that it has a compelling story of a plane crashing on an island. While many games have this premise, the survival aspect takes you on a ride: do you conserve your strength or chop everything in the area? Do you kill locals or run from them?”
    • “The game's story is presented in comic book style panels between levels, adding a unique visual element to the narrative.”
    • “The game's aesthetic does not detract from the story, which is delivered in an engaging comic book panel style.”

  • music
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating its quality and how it complements gameplay, particularly during battles. However, some feel that the score could benefit from further expansion. The out-of-combat music is noted for its relaxing qualities, drawing favorable comparisons to other titles like "Alice: Madness Returns."

    • “The music in this game is really nice, looping through the levels seamlessly during battles against enemy AI.”
    • “I like the music, the environment, the night/day cycle, and the variety of bosses, levels, weapons, animals, and challenges; none of them feels the same.”
    • “They really need to expand on their music score, but besides that, I think it is a great little adventure so far.”
    • “Plus, the out-of-combat music is chill and reminds me of some of the levels from Alice: Madness Returns, which I love.”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The game may need a touch of optimization.”
    • “I got the key for like a dollar, but I'd say it's worth up to 50% off until they fix the performance. You can always return it if it lags or stutters badly.”

    • “I got the key for like a dollar, but I'd say up to 50% off until they fix the performance, or full price if it doesn't happen to you (you can always just return it if it lags or stutters badly).”
    • “May need a touch of optimization.”
  • grinding
