The gameplay is generally enjoyable, featuring a straightforward loop of resource gathering, mining, and boss battles, with solid mechanics that cater to fans of the genre. However, some players find certain aspects, like fishing and combat feedback, lacking, and express frustration with resource management and armor effectiveness. Overall, the game has a strong foundation and smooth combat, but players recommend waiting for further content and polish before diving in fully.
- “The gameplay loop is basic but enjoyable: scavenge for resources in the zone, find the mine, mine at the mine, find the boss, kill the boss.”
- “The game has a very solid foundation, and after eight hours of gameplay, I'm still enjoying what is present.”
- “Combat feels smooth and engaging, and the boss fights were about mechanics and not just gear checks.”
- “Fishing mechanics are annoying, combat mechanics don't feel impactful, resources don't regrow/reset (you need to go far away just to chop), and the armor doesn't affect anything; creatures still deal the same damage. I only made 2 pieces of armor and it does nothing. Co-op play is still the way to go, but there's a task system in the game, and when your friend builds something, you need to build it again to complete the task.”
- “Overinflated mechanics of farming just to maintain your current gear.”
- “I would wait a couple of months before buying if you want more content, polished gameplay, and to see if the developers will actually implement the content they planned.”

Players have mixed feelings about grinding in the game; while some find it manageable and enjoyable due to easy exploration, others criticize it as unnecessarily tedious and overly reliant on farming for gear and resources. The combat system's flaws, such as lag and inadequate healing, contribute to a frustrating experience where players often feel compelled to grind rather than engage in enjoyable gameplay.
- “Not too grindy; the maps are very easy to explore and enjoyable.”
- “Combat gets tedious fast; started running past everything once I had all the combat upgrades.”
- “Whilst this game does have some potential, in its current state it's just way too grindy for no reason.”
- “With a lacking damage mitigation system, lack of any real useful healing, and a combat system that lags, you'll spend more time just farming and moving inventory than doing anything of actual enjoyment.”

- “The story exists, but it needed fleshing out; it feels possibly incomplete.”
- “It needs a story: something to follow, goals, quests, NPCs you can talk to, etc. We need a sense of purpose other than 'we need to find 4 stones'... why are we on this world?”
