Gameplay is generally well-received, featuring strong mechanics and ambitious design, though some users note issues with tutorial clarity and interface responsiveness. The game offers around 10 hours of content, allowing players to choose different paths, such as focusing on criminal activities or military roles, making it a worthwhile experience for its price.
- “A chill game you can sit with for a night or two, and while you could finish the game, for a game that only costs 14 euros, it's good. There is around 10 hours of gameplay, and if you do it in one go, you can change your character to focus on being only a criminal or only a soldier, and so on.”
- “Some rough edges remain, particularly in tutorial clarity and interface responsiveness, but these issues are generally overshadowed by the strength of the underlying mechanics and the ambition of the design.”

Players note that while progressing in a profession offers significant rewards over time, it necessitates considerable effort in basic activities like farming, fishing, mining, and forestry to sustain their families and gather essential resources.
- “Years in a profession yield considerably more rewards, but sustaining these family members is a challenge that requires effort from more basic professions like farming and fishing for food, or mining and forestry for raw resources.”
