- “This feature is really godawful, lazy pixel crap 'art' instead of real graphics.”

- “For the game itself, as said, it's more grindy.”

The gameplay is characterized by an engaging core loop that promotes player interaction through housing, trading, and mini-games; however, it suffers from a lack of depth and polish, with some mechanics feeling nonsensical and a barebones character creation system. While there is potential for growth, many players feel the game is not ready for early access due to its limited sandbox elements compared to similar titles like Minecraft, and a tutorial would enhance the onboarding experience.
- “The game actively encourages player interaction through its housing system, trading mechanics, and mini-games.”
- “While the core gameplay loop is fun and engaging, there's room for growth.”
- “I would like to see a tutorial of sorts or a small introduction to the mechanics.”
- “Meh, too empty; some mechanics make no sense, and I think even the character creation screen being barebones and buggy was already enough of a bad omen.”
- “I don't think the game should be in early access as it lacks a solid gameplay loop.”
- “You can craft and equip like 4 types of equipment, but it doesn't offer you as much sandbox gameplay as Minecraft to justify it.”
