The graphics of the game have received generally positive feedback, with many users praising their quality and immersive atmosphere. While some players noted issues with frame rate drops, the overall visual appeal and smooth performance were highlighted as strong points. Comparisons to other games like Rust suggest that while the graphics are commendable, some players feel the game lacks originality.

The game's story aspect is largely criticized, with many users noting a lack of a coherent narrative or mission structure. While some mention a potential for story progression, the overwhelming sentiment is that the game feels empty and overpriced due to its absence of engaging story elements or character development. Overall, players find the experience lacking in immersion and depth.
- “I haven't dug into the story that much yet, but there definitely is a story progression to follow.”
- “At least I can't find any... also when I look for help on YouTube I get some Minecraft Far Lands stuff, no help and no storyline.”
- “No storyline or beginner tutorial.”
- “Summary: while this game has nice mechanics, movement, atmosphere, sounds, and crafting system, there's not much to the game. It's extremely overpriced because there's nothing really to do in the game except build a base against easily defeated enemies. There's no mission, storyline, character progression, or interactive world. This is not immersive; the ambience is good, although the nighttime is so much longer than the day, which is frustrating. Items degrade extremely fast, which doesn't reward the player for crafting certain items.”
