Overall, the graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players praising the visuals as "great" and "awesome," while others criticize them as "poor" or "glitchy." Some users report performance issues, such as lag and freezing, particularly on lower-end devices, which detracts from the experience. Despite these concerns, many players appreciate the artistic design and improvements made in recent updates, indicating a potential for further enhancement.
“Great gameplay, graphics, story, the works.”
“Graphics are nicely and tastefully done.”
“Amazing graphics, amazing animations, barely any ads on this game, runs smoothly, absolute masterpiece.”
“I know the app is newly launched and it may just be me, but I had to drop the graphics as low as possible or the game would freeze up and take extremely long to so much as have my character take a step.”
“Soo... the game looks majorly unfinished... the dynamic day and night scenario looks rough. Whenever night falls, the sunlight doesn't turn less bright but happens in an instant. Plus, the evening weather is so distorted it hurts my eyes. Also, graphics can be improved a lot; many models are taken from your other game 'Westland Survival' and it doesn't fit right.”
“The graphics are poor at best!”

“The immersion is excellent, the crafting trees & harvesting mechanic mesh perfectly.”

“The biggest complaint/difference is, like everyone else says, the energy system and to an extent, the entire travel mechanic.”
“Every update, the gameplay gets worse.”

“No bugs or glitches, but I also haven't run into many other players.”
“Absolutely no glitches in this game that I have encountered.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players feeling that it leans heavily towards a "pay-to-win" model, requiring in-game purchases to progress effectively. While some appreciate the option to watch short ads for additional resources, others criticize the rapid durability loss of purchased items and the overall feeling of being forced to spend money to enjoy the game fully. Despite these concerns, a few players noted that the game is still enjoyable without excessive ads, though the balance between free play and monetization remains a contentious issue.
“In-app purchases are nicely cheap, albeit randomized in what you might receive; it is still even within the means of this old man's budgeting.”
“There are no ads except for the ones you can choose to watch for extra energy.”
“This game is the coolest game ever with free VIP per week, in-app purchases, and additionally the good events, PvP, etc. makes this game completely awesome and well balanced.”
“This game is an absolute cash grab, and only if you want to invest in in-game purchases will you even progress to mid-game.”
“All Helio games very quickly begin to stagnate and obstruct your progress to force you to buy real money in-game items or currency... to the point at which you're more likely to win a lottery than get that piece of metal you need. I feel sorry for their game designers - an otherwise great game can't be enjoyed because the higher-ups just see this as a cash grab.”
“Pushing in-game purchases too much; I shouldn't have to pay to progress.”

The reviews highlight that the game is heavily grind-focused, often requiring players to repeatedly gather resources and complete lengthy quests, which can lead to frustration. While some players appreciate the depth and fun of the gameplay, many express dissatisfaction with the excessive grinding and resource management, suggesting that it detracts from the overall experience. Additionally, there are concerns about the game's balance between free-to-play elements and the pressure to spend money to progress more easily.
“I also don't like how the game is repetitive: get a quest that requires ages to complete, grind, scavenge for food since you have none, end up dead because you have no food, and then continue grinding and doing this all over again.”
“It's another cookie cutter grinding survival game, definitely pay to win and the ads are repetitive.”
“Every update makes it more grindy and tries to steer you into spending money.”

“Amazing graphics, amazing animations, barely any lag; this game runs smoothly, an absolute masterpiece.”
“The tools' deterioration is too fast, the grind for resources feels too much like a slog, and there are moments of loading areas that are so badly optimized. The energy system is almost bearable compared to others in the genre.”

Overall, the humor is appreciated as a standout feature that enhances the gaming experience.
“Wow, this is better than anticipated! Haha, it's so funny that other people didn't understand the meaning of the word 'survival' and are afraid of losing progress after one death... like, bruh, that's the essence of survival in the first place, so expect some deaths on the journey!”
“Which is funny because that's all I have.”
“It's a nice game idea with great graphics and details. It's funny, suspenseful, and attractive. I hope they fix those bugs, so I give it 5 stars.”

“The game has a great concept, but the atmosphere is marred by the imbalance of enemy difficulty during events.”
