Gameplay is criticized for its lack of variety, as weapons like guns and bows feel similar and do not significantly alter the experience. Additionally, players note that the extensive grinding required to craft weapon repair kits detracts from the overall enjoyment, although the developer's active engagement suggests potential for future improvements.
“The mechanics are different, and with this being a new game, the developer is active and will be constantly improving the gameplay.”
“Guns and a bow feel very similar and don't really change the gameplay, especially considering how long you have to grind in order to start crafting weapon repair kits.”
