The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback from users, with some praising the improvements and overall quality, particularly in comparison to similar titles like Rust. However, many players express concerns about optimization, especially on low-end devices, and call for further enhancements to achieve smoother performance and more realistic visuals. Overall, while there are commendable aspects, significant room for improvement remains in the graphics department.
- “After 2 years I've finally come back and the game has truly evolved; the graphics are amazing.”
- “The game is very beautiful in terms of graphics and performance, with some minor system bugs.”
- “The details and graphics are super good; it's like Rust but better.”
- “The game is fun and enjoyable, but the graphics look very bad on low-end devices like mine.”
- “The graphics are bad but it's good on mobile, so try it out.”
- “The graphics could use some work as well and make more types of trees and change the grass color in certain places because it makes it look weird with the repeated pattern.”

Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of enjoyment and frustration; while many players appreciate the core mechanics and immersive feel, they also report significant issues such as laggy aiming, janky movement, and problematic building systems. Players express concerns over bugs, server stability, and the prevalence of pay-to-win elements, which detract from the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, there is optimism for future updates to enhance gameplay and address existing issues.
- “The gameplay is good and has a great immersive feel to it, but it's a little lacking in content, so until it has better foliage, plants, and more things, it's a 3-star.”
- “This truly is an exceptionally well-scaled down Rust experience in terms of gameplay.”
- “I love the game mechanics and movement.”
- “The building mechanics need refinement, and the building hammer should not require a blueprint at the start.”
- “The aim mechanics are so laggy that I can't aim properly; it's like you're dragging a boulder on your screen. Adjusting your aim slightly doesn't change your aim because of the delay, and why can people leave the game with their loot?”
- “The gameplay isn't polished in the slightest; it's not fun. Farming takes hours to just get a 2x2 base, hit detection is basically nonexistent, and it's all pay-to-win.”
stability
39 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game's stability is heavily criticized, with numerous reports of freezing, bugs, and glitches, particularly during the tutorial and crafting processes. Players frequently experience crashes that hinder gameplay, making it nearly unplayable at times. Additionally, issues with server connectivity and the presence of hackers further exacerbate the stability problems, leading to a frustrating experience for many users.
- “I can't even get past the workbench tutorial before it glitches and freezes, making it totally unplayable, which is annoying because it looked good.”
- “Crashes in the tutorial; I can't get past the crafting bench part. As soon as you make the bench, place it, and open it, the game freezes and nothing works. I tried closing the app and relaunching, but it does exactly the same at the same point. I was happy to see a survival game I've not tried yet, then instantly let down. You think they would iron something like that out, especially at the tutorial part. How is the rest of the game going to be if that's how it starts?”
- “The game is really buggy, and on most servers you get on, you don't make it very far even with a base because of people that pay to win. Other than people being overgeared, it's overly buggy and laggy.”
grinding
26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players express frustration with the grinding mechanics in the game, citing that resource gathering is excessively time-consuming and often unrewarding, leading to a lack of immersion and enjoyment. Many reviewers suggest improvements such as increasing resource yields, adding more efficient farming tools, and enhancing the overall gameplay experience to reduce the grind. Additionally, issues with hackers and game balance further exacerbate the challenges faced during the grinding process.
- “I got stuck in a wooden gate and fell out of the map on Asia#1 and lost all of my items that I've been grinding for 4 hours.”
- “Couldn't even play the game due to repeated deaths and spawn killing/farming. I can't add any input on the 8 hours of gameplay with nothing to show for it.”
- “The game is cool and similar to Rust but on mobile. However, it is very hard to play since PvP is so desynchronized and farming for resources is time-consuming, just to farm for a 1x1 base or to make a bow since the cloth system is bad.”

The game's optimization has received mixed feedback, with many players noting significant lag issues and a lack of comprehensive graphics settings that hinder smooth gameplay. While some appreciate recent improvements, they still call for further optimization to enhance performance and reduce stuttering, especially in comparison to similar titles. Overall, players believe that addressing these optimization concerns is crucial for the game's success and player retention.
- “The game is very beautiful in terms of graphics and performance, with some minor system bugs.”
- “I would love to see this game optimized and improved; it has such great potential.”
- “Hello, I would like to thank the game developer who listened to me and optimized the graphics so that I and others can enjoy the game with good FPS and graphics on a weak phone.”
- “This game is lacking more optimization settings for graphics, to make the game smoother.”
- “The game is so much better, barely any hackers, better farm and everything, but the lag issues increased dramatically. I can barely run; it legit stops me. One moment I have frozen 60 fps, then boom it lags and animals catch up to me. I think it's because of optimization, but one thing is for certain that there was no issue like this before. This game would have 5 stars if not for the random lag spikes.”
- “Changed from 1 to 3 stars because performance is lacking; network lag is still an issue.”

The monetization aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players appreciating the absence of intrusive ads and the ability to earn in-game currency through gameplay. However, many users express frustration over issues with the coin system, claiming it is unreliable and misleading, alongside complaints about the lack of customer support for in-game purchases. Overall, while some enjoy the monetization model, others feel it leans towards being a cash grab with significant technical issues.
- “This game includes in-game purchases but does not require you to purchase unless you want to use the purchasable items.”
- “I like the game but your coin system is false advertising. I've had it numerous times where I do exactly what is required to earn coins, but I never received them. Get a different partner or something; I've worked hard to try and get those coins.”
- “Tbh, how you run your game is trash. We don't complain about ads, but you make enough money to solve the case. Every day, there are a thousand ads to watch before entering the game.”
- “Scam company! They stole all my in-game purchases and removed them from my account. When I provided payment receipts, they ignored me and didn't even respond on their socials. Their forum is broken, and I can't create an account to recover my account. Don't download this app.”

The game's story is described as immersive and engaging, reminiscent of mission-based gameplay, but players express frustration with the balance between PvE and PvP missions, which can hinder progress for certain players. Suggestions for improvement include adding more diverse missions, expanding the game world, and incorporating NPCs for quests, while also addressing issues with hackers that disrupt the experience. Overall, while the narrative has potential, players feel that gameplay mechanics and balance need significant refinement to enhance enjoyment.
- “This game is truly amazing and gives a realistic feeling similar to mission evo, which makes it very enjoyable to play.”
- “Been looking for a mission evo alternative and thought I found it.”
- “The graphics are so good and the gameplay is engaging, though I wish the beta program could accommodate more players since it's always full.”
- “Liked it at first but got mad annoying never being able to get a gun because I can't live long enough to grind out the materials without 20 something hackers in the lobby jumping on top of my 3 story buildings or one-shotting me from a mile away facing the wrong direction.”
- “If there was a 0 star option, I could give this game. Try to solve the issue of hackers please... no matter which server you try, there are hackers. I built my house 3 stories high and made of stone, but all that was nothing as they just climbed up against the wall and started plowing at the top roof, took all the loot and destroyed my cupboard. I tried rebuilding but every time the same thing... please fix your game.”
- “It is way too hard to get enough XP; even the lumberjack quest only gives you a quarter of your meter on level 4!”

Players find the humor in the game to be a highlight, describing it as hilarious and chaotic, particularly with the introduction of voice chat and amusing scenarios during gameplay.

Overall, the humor is appreciated, but players hope for improvements to enhance the fun further.

- “They made amazing improvements to the game; it's easier to do certain things. PvP is better, although unless the idea is to have a fun game with low graphics, which I love because the scenarios are so funny! ”
- “The game is cool, actually very funny since voice chat was introduced, but there are still lots of problems with hackers; players get kicked instead of the hackers.”
