  • gameplay
    111 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players praising its graphics and mechanics but expressing frustration over issues such as lack of item descriptions, limited resource respawn, and bugs affecting controls and movement.

    • “The game is just completely terrible - gameplay, movement, crafting, resource harvesting, and systems are poorly made.”

  • story
    100 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is widely criticized for its lack of depth and clarity, with many players expressing a desire for a more engaging narrative, missions, and lore to enhance the gameplay experience.

Suggestions for improvement include adding quests, NPC interactions, and a more defined plot to provide players with goals and a sense of progression.

  • monetization
    84 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with many players expressing disappointment over the removal of the option to watch ads for coins, which previously allowed them to earn in-game currency without making purchases. While some appreciate the lack of intrusive ads during gameplay, others feel that the current monetization model forces them to rely on in-app purchases, making it difficult to progress without spending money.

  • grinding
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

While some appreciate the peaceful nature of grinding, others express frustration over the lack of variety in animals and resources, as well as the rapid degradation of tools. Overall, the game shows potential but is criticized for its reliance on grinding without sufficient rewards or engaging content.

    • “Good game, only 1 star because it becomes very boring. There's hardly anything to do in the game, no multiplayer with friends, and only three different animals to kill. Trees don't disappear or fall down, which is very annoying because you end up farming the same trees you've already depleted with no wood to collect. It's a very basic and weak game; I wish there was more to it. So much potential, but the developers don't care about it and don't reply either.”
    • “Way too grindy, tools break too easily, fiber takes too long to get, and healing yourself is a grind.”
    • “I like grinding, but good god, this makes Ark's grind seem easy.”
  • optimization
    23 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received significant criticism, with many users reporting severe lag and performance issues, particularly on lower-end devices. Players suggest implementing dual modes for performance and graphics, with a default setting favoring performance to mitigate lag. Overall, there is a strong demand for updates to enhance optimization and reduce bugs, especially for older Android versions.

    • “Why not put 2 modes: 1) Performance, lower graphics for good performance; and 2) Graphics, increase graphics, may cause high lag for weak phones.”
    • “Please update the game developer; there are so many bugs and lags. Please optimize this game for Android version 4.4.4. I am playing it, but it lags more than I can expect. You are a good developer; you made a great game, but it is not optimized for low-end devices.”
    • “Can you make this fully optimized so we can play without lag? Thank you! :)”
    • “Please update the game developer; there are so many bugs and lags. Please optimize this game for Android version 4.4.4. I am playing it, but it lags so much. I expected better from a good developer who made a great game, but it is not optimized for low-end devices.”
    • “I turned everything down to zero and my phone was still at 8 frames per second, and it said optimized game performance for updates.”
    • “I rated 2 stars because I can't move in the game. I tried to lower the graphics and all that stuff, but when I take one step, the whole game lags. I can't play because of these lags. Tell me if I need a better phone because I'm on a Samsung Galaxy J3 2016. I know the phone is not good, but can you improve the game's performance? It lags a lot. Thanks for your time.”

While players appreciate the overall ambiance, there are calls for enhancements to increase tension and excitement, such as introducing zombie waves and more interactive elements to deepen the immersive experience.

    • “Played this game since 2016 and I found it great. I mean, it's the only game I'm gladly spending my time on, but it gets boring when the new updates come. I would ask you to make this game a little more challenging, like adding zombie waves at night or day (because it's boring without the adrenaline), combine the two islands, and maybe add natives to trade for items. I wanted it to have a scarier atmosphere.”
    • “Super ocean game, nice scenery and super atmosphere!”
    • “That's until I discovered the bunker/office space... then the mood shifted to a gloomy and creepy atmosphere!”

I may ask you to make this game a little bit more challenging, like adding zombie waves at night or day (because it's boring without the adrenaline).
