  • graphics12 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many praising the stunning visuals and attention to detail, particularly in animations and environmental design. However, some users note issues with optimization and performance, requiring lower settings for smoother gameplay. Overall, while the graphics are often highlighted as a strong point, concerns about hardware demands and clunky character movement detract from the experience.

    • “Visuals are very good, sometimes even stunning, along with good optimization.”
    • “The graphics are nice, I love all the building and crafting options, even the extra details that went into the animation of the crafting bench when it was crafting items.”
    • “The graphics are outstanding, hours of fun, so realistic.”
    • “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.”
  • gameplay6 mentions

    The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring interesting mechanics and a solid foundation, but it suffers from issues like unreliable building placement and combat difficulties. While players appreciate the potential and ease of play, they note that the game requires significant improvements in its building and fighting systems. Overall, it offers a familiar survival crafting experience, but many hope for future updates to enhance its content and mechanics.

    • “It's 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. The shark tickles as he swims after you, and snakes are near impossible to kill.”
    • “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 has lots of possibilities. Though the building mechanics need work, otherwise it is a good way to pass the time and I enjoy it.”
    • “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, so they are listening. It just might take a while for final fixes to go into place.”

    Players appreciate the game's resource-gathering mechanics for being less grindy compared to typical survival games, offering a satisfying amount of resources with each effort. However, the lack of exploration options, such as boats or rafts, can lead to boredom, making the building and farming aspects feel tedious over time.

    • “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 and allows you to go get resources but also gives you a decent amount in each pull.”
  • stability4 mentions

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent bugs and glitches that disrupt gameplay, requiring multiple restarts to resolve. While some players find it a decent start, the combat mechanics, particularly involving animals, are notably problematic and need urgent attention.

    • “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.”
    • “Has some glitches that seriously need to be fixed, but overall not a bad start.”
  • optimization3 mentions

    The optimization of the game receives mixed reviews; while some players praise its stunning visuals and smooth performance, others find it hardware-intensive and struggle to run it on higher settings without overheating their systems.

    • “The visuals are very good, sometimes even stunning, along with excellent 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.”
    • “The game runs poorly even on high-end systems, making it frustrating to enjoy the experience.”
    • “Frequent frame drops and stuttering make it hard to stay immersed in the game.”
  • story3 mentions

    The game's current lack of a structured storyline is not a concern for some players who enjoy the survival and exploration aspects; however, there is a strong desire for the addition of more crafting recipes, quests, and objectives to enhance the overall experience.

    • “I really hope more crafting recipes become available and more of a storyline, quests, and objectives are in the future updates.”
    • “I am not bothered that there is no storyline; I like just surviving and exploring.”

    Players find the humor in the game particularly enjoyable, with many highlighting the comedic charm of the various animals, especially the penguins.
