The gameplay is criticized for lacking sound effects and animations, having unremappable controls, and punishing mechanics that result in losing inventory upon death from hunger or thirst. Players also note issues with enemy behavior, weak gunfire, a simplistic inventory system, and rapid nightfall that hampers visibility. While the game offers enjoyable graphics and multiplayer elements, it is suggested that it needs more polish, content, and cooperative features to enhance the overall experience.
“The gameplay could use a bit more polish and it would be great if the devs added more content, more points of interest, and a co-op mode to play with friends.”
“The game combines pleasant graphics and fun gameplay.”
“Other issues with this game are that there are no sounds when gathering resources and no animations when chopping trees. You cannot remap the controls or manually save, and you lose all your inventory items when knocked out from thirst and hunger. Enemies rush you and attach to you like magnets, gunfire feels weak, the inventory is very plain, and dropping items is bugged to where you can't actually drop them. Nightfall comes way too fast and makes everything too dark to see, and there are on-screen misspellings such as 'reload required.' Gameplay is also too multiplayer-focused with quests that encourage you to invite other players, and there is also an in-game option to chat.”
