Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while the farming, cooking, and fishing mechanics are engaging and immersive, the need to grind for map customization can be frustrating. The game offers a wealth of content and challenges that appeal to hardcore farming sim fans, but the lack of clear guidance may deter casual players. Overall, the grinding is seen as a barrier to fully enjoying the game's potential.
“If the map customization (building/farming) were a little easier to access (currently behind a bit of a grind), I could see myself playing this for hours.”
“The player movement is fluid and the farming mechanic is pretty enjoyable, I'd compare the farming mechanic to Stardew Valley in development stage but in 3D.”
“At the moment of early access it's got quite a lot of content but not a lot of explanation, so if you like figuring things out or you're already a pretty hardcore farming game person, you'll enjoy this.”

The graphics are reminiscent of a 2000s-era Japanese aesthetic, providing a nostalgic feel, but are ultimately limited by the Unity engine. While the visuals have potential for an immersive experience, they may not fully meet the expectations of players seeking a more polished look. Overall, the graphics serve the game's concept but could benefit from further refinement.
“The graphics are impressive, showcasing the potential of the Unity engine.”
“The bones are there for something that realizes what many truly wanted from games like Dark Cloud: an immersive, wind-swept, free-form roaming and building sim with an uncompromising 2000s-era Japanese aesthetic.”
“Controls are good, the UI requires a bit of an overhaul, and the graphics are... well, it's Unity.”
