  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally praised as stunning and visually appealing, with good optimization and attention to detail, particularly in crafting animations. However, some users report issues with performance, requiring lower settings to avoid hardware strain, and note clunky character movement and inconsistent environmental elements. Overall, while the visuals are a highlight, the game's optimization and building mechanics receive mixed feedback.

    • “Visuals are very good, sometimes even stunning, along with good optimization.”
    • “The graphics are outstanding, hours of fun, so realistic.”
    • “Pretty good game, nice graphics & really good atmosphere!”
    • “Optimization is pretty bad and is hardware intensive; I have to play on low graphics to keep my video card from getting too hot.”
    • “Graphics: pretty, but character movement is clunky and shading/environmental elements appear and disappear randomly even when standing still.”
    • “Maybe there will be more content in the future, but right now it's another dime a dozen survival crafting game that uses a lot of the same mechanics and features from Kingdom of Atham, except the building is terrible and the graphics are okay.”
  • gameplay
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is seen as a promising start with enjoyable mechanics, but it suffers from issues like poor building mechanics, inconsistent snapping, and combat difficulties. While players appreciate the potential and ease of play, they note the need for more content and improvements, particularly in fighting and building systems. Overall, it offers a decent experience for passing time, though it feels similar to other survival crafting games with room for enhancement.

    • “Yes, the game still needs some improvements in the fighting mechanics and a few other things, but I see the developers are working on updates and reaching out for more feedback from the community, so they are listening. It just might take a while for final fixes to go into place. My computer ran this game fine without missing a beat or even straining itself.”
    • “I like the game; it is easy to play and offers lots of possibilities. Though the building mechanics need work, it is a good way to pass the time, and I enjoy it.”
    • “Its a good start. I like the idea and the mechanics. It could really use a bunch more blocks and better snapping. Sometimes a foundation won't place or a wall won't latch for unknown reasons, but other than that, it's pretty good.”
    • “Maybe there will be more content in the future, but right now it's another dime a dozen survival crafting game that uses a lot of the same mechanics and features from Kingdom of Atham, except the building is terrible and the graphics are okay.”
    • “Gameplay: fantasy is one thing, but some realism would be nice - the game starts with no intro, but you can assume you've crash-landed based on the plane wreckage on the beach.”
    • “Yes, the game still needs some improvements in the fighting mechanics and a few other things, but I see the developers are working on updates and reaching out for more feedback from the community. They are listening; it just might take a while for final fixes to go into place.”

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the resource gathering is less tedious compared to other survival games and offers a satisfying amount per effort, the lack of exploration options leads to boredom over time. The calming atmosphere is appreciated, but the repetitive nature of building and farming can feel like a monotonous chore without additional activities to engage in.

    • “A lovely game, but with no boat or raft to explore the islands, one gets bored building and farming very quickly.”
    • “It's like having a full-time tedious job to go do nothing.”
    • “For someone who plays super grindy survival games to get resources, this game is quite refreshing, but it still feels repetitive.”
  • stability
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is reported to be very buggy and glitch-heavy, with players experiencing significant issues that require multiple restarts to resolve. While some users acknowledge that it has potential, they emphasize the need for urgent fixes to improve stability, particularly regarding animal behavior in combat.

    • “Very buggy, glitch heavy and finished in an hour of running around.”
    • “I had to restart the game 3 times to clear some of the glitches that caused the game to not work.”
    • “Also the animals are pretty buggy in combat and walking backwards while striking kills most things safely.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise the stunning visuals and smooth performance, others find it hardware intensive, requiring lower graphics settings to maintain acceptable temperatures. Overall, the experience varies significantly depending on the player's system capabilities.

    • “Visuals are very good, sometimes even stunning, along with good optimization.”
    • “The performance is pretty great, and runs smoothly.”
    • “Optimization is pretty bad and is hardware intensive; I have to play on low graphics to keep my video card from getting too hot.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players have mixed feelings about the story aspect, with some expressing satisfaction in the survival and exploration elements, while others desire a more developed narrative, including quests and crafting recipes, in future updates.
