Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant refinement and content updates to fully realize its ambitious vision.

    • “Already there are a zillion ways to play, a zillion things you can do, a bazillion mechanics to fiddle around with to make an infinite number of zany contraptions to perform any task you can imagine.”
    • “The process of collecting materials to bring back to your custom-built base so that you can refine them into your next set of equipment and machines is an entirely competent and enjoyable gameplay loop.”
    • “Craftopia truly shines when it comes to gameplay variety.”
    • “For me the biggest issue was gameplay though.”
    • “The game has a lot of mechanics going for it, but all of them are extremely janky or don't make any sense at all.”

    1,148 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of Craftopia have received mixed reviews, with many players praising its vibrant, anime-inspired art style reminiscent of titles like *Breath of the Wild* and *Genshin Impact*. However, numerous complaints highlight poor optimization, inconsistent textures, and performance issues, particularly on lower-end systems, leading to significant frame rate drops.

    • “The graphics, despite the game's 2020 release, seem to fall short of expectations.”
    • “Graphics wise, it tries to copy Breath of the Wild and Genshin Impact and fails at both; while the graphics are not terrible, I'd say it reminds me of PS3 era graphics, with some textures looking okay, while others are just plain terrible and have clipping issues in many places.”
  • stability
    1,012 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous users reporting it as "buggy" and "janky," often describing it as a "mess" in its current early access state.

    • “Runs great.”

    • “Great game, frequently updated, friendly community, not that buggy compared to what I expected.”
    • “The game is very buggy as of this day (9th August 2024), too buggy for an early access even, it's like they're releasing the first prototype of every single module they have without testing.”
    • “This game is a buggy mess.”
    • “It's so horribly unoptimized and buggy, that putting it on the lowest settings with a PC that can run almost all games on highest settings, still lags out my computer.”
  • story
    878 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is largely considered minimal and underdeveloped, with many players noting that it lacks a coherent narrative or meaningful quests. While there are some fetch quests and a basic premise involving the player character having destroyed the world, the overall storytelling is seen as weak and often irrelevant to gameplay. Many reviewers express hope for future updates to enhance the story and quest systems, as the current state feels more like a sandbox experience without a clear direction.

    • “The lore isn't so deep or progressive, but at least it has one instead of being dropped into a world with no backstory like other survival games.”
    • “After this most recent update, the game got less sandbox-y but way more structured, as they introduced a storyline and quests and a lot more features.”
    • “Craftopia mixes a lot of typical survival aspects into a decent story.”
    • “The story is irrelevant, and you can just pretend you never heard it, because there's no story related questing.”
    • “Many of the quests make absolutely no sense, simply because there is no real in-game tutorial and what there is woefully underdone.”
    • “The quests feel a bit all over the place and you really don't get much of anything for completing them.”
  • grinding
    858 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Overall, the game offers a variety of activities, allowing players to choose their level of engagement with grinding, but many express frustration with the repetitive nature of certain tasks and the lack of meaningful rewards for their efforts.

    • “The game gives me Genshin Impact vibes but no micro-transactions and next to no grinding, which I love about this game.”
    • “Not grindy but not speeding through all the missions too quickly.”
    • “A bit grindy sometimes.”
    • “Additionally, this game is focused on outdated concepts of spending years grinding for small to no gains in a limited environment.”
    • “The grind is unbearable and the automation is so slow to ramp up that you likely won't ever feel like you're not still required to go do more grinding and grinding back to back.”
    • “The collection book is just contributing hundreds to thousands (some 10k to 100k) of an item which gives some passive stats like atk, matk, hp, mana or crit but it's so grindy and gives such a small yield that it seems just not worth it.”

    • “Craftopia is continuously being developed and updated by the developers, with regular content additions, bug fixes, and optimizations.”
