The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its engaging mechanics, graphics, and storyline. However, frequent crashes, connection issues, and a pay-to-win model have frustrated users, particularly regarding item durability and the loss of gear upon death. While some find the gameplay rewarding and immersive, others criticize it for being grindy and overly reliant on in-app purchases, leading to a less enjoyable experience overall.
“This game is very awesome, I've been playing it for a while now, it has incredible graphics and gameplay and storyline.”
“The gameplay, storyline, crafting, and combat system are nice.”
“The gameplay is great as long as you don't spend any money and never need to contact support.”
“Everything about the gameplay is bad: poor inventory, possible to lose your items, steep difficulty, easily broken gear, and nearly every task requires energy.”
“The gameplay is repetitive and grindy, with equipment needing constant repair or replacement.”
“Items break way too quickly to the point that there's hardly any benefit in getting hard-to-grind gear. I paid for some weapons and they lasted me 3 missions then broken and gone; it's a cash grab.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads and aggressive in-app purchase prompts. While some appreciate the option to watch ads for rewards, the overwhelming presence of ads often disrupts gameplay and leads to crashes, making the experience feel like a cash grab. Despite the potential for enjoyable gameplay, the reliance on microtransactions and the constant push for purchases detracts from the overall enjoyment for many users.
“I was impressed by not having the feeling that in-app purchases were required but indeed optional.”
“A good variety of loot, you're not forced on rails to the hard set pieces until you want to, the in-game purchases are not essential and the sell is soft by modern standards.”
“Great game, even though there are in-app purchases, free players can still play it nicely and the prices are affordable too.”
“The game constantly throws up ads that offer fancy clothes and weapons for large sums of money.”
“The moment you start up the game, you are bombarded by in-game purchase pop-ups and you have to close 3 windows before even starting to play.”
“It's fun for a while but eventually it becomes impossible to farm or do missions without having to make an in-game purchase.”

Overall, players suggest that while grinding is a core part of the experience, it could benefit from adjustments to make it less burdensome and more rewarding.
“It's well paced, the crafting mechanics are useful, and they aren't tedious. You don't risk losing everything if you don't play 24/7.”
“Amazing game where you can enjoy survival and a good story, with no grinding and hard stuff going on, which is a plus.”
“Full of microtransactions, lack of respect for players' time, grinding takes way too much time and I don't want to waste my time.”
“The grind is tedious, repetitive, and boring.”
“Every single item in the game is obtainable without the need to spend a penny, but there's a catch: if you don't spend money, then expect to spend several hours of repetitive grinding just to get the good gear you want.”

The game's stability is a significant concern among users, with frequent reports of freezing, crashing, and lagging during gameplay. Many players experience issues such as the game locking up, especially during intense moments or when accessing inventory, leading to frustration and loss of progress. While some users appreciate the game's potential and storyline, the overwhelming consensus is that stability improvements are urgently needed for a smoother gaming experience.
“The updates bring new adventure and no glitches.”
“Excellent gameplay, no glitches as of yet.”
“And the game is mostly bug-free so far and it looks nice.”
“Very laggy; it is a nightmare just to open my inventory and crashes all the time. It's not a space issue because I have 4GB of space left. Good game and interesting story, but it's impossible to continue after getting your new allies because when I try to enter the ark floor 2, it freezes and crashes.”
“You really need to work on the stability of the game; it crashes a lot. Most of the time, it is unplayable. The game freezes and crashes way too much, especially during boss fights. This has happened to me several times, and retrieving equipment is not always possible, especially if it is an event, which gets really annoying.”
“The game freezes every other time and then boots me out. It is a very fun game, but the connection is so buggy.”

Overall, the game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players highlighting significant performance issues such as lag, crashes, and slow loading times, particularly on lower-end devices.

Despite recent updates improving performance for some, a consensus remains that further optimization is necessary for a more stable and enjoyable experience.
“The game overall is well made, the only thing I'd suggest is to perform a bit of optimization, as it can use up quite a bit of resources on some devices.”
“Great game, good optimization and graphics, not pay-to-win or hard, overall pretty good.”
“Best survival game for low performance machines.”
“Its a good game but there are lots of things that need to be optimized, like you can add water to anvil one by one, but you can't add fuel in the same way. The progression of crafting materials is so irritating; everyone knows in this game you need a good backpack, but you can't find it anywhere. You have to craft a good one at level 62, but the best level backpack is at level 74.”
“However, performance has gone rapidly downhill.”
“Despite having a high-performance device, the game lags unnecessarily even in low graphics.”

Players express a mix of frustration and disappointment regarding the emotional impact of the game, particularly due to mechanics that lead to significant item loss and progress rollback. While some appreciate the game's difficulty and design, many feel that the glitches and punitive systems create a heart-wrenching experience, detracting from their overall enjoyment and investment in the game.
“It's great that energy can be easily restored; however, it's heartbreaking that loot cannot be retrieved upon death at certain locations.”
“Losing items to a buggy system has to be the most heartbreaking thing. A perfect cold chest plate that I've spent all week grinding for, and my 15-placement backpack—it's just too much of a kick in the teeth.”

“If you enjoy a very long, boring storyline, this game might be for you.”
