“- the graphics, despite being a beta game are beautiful.”
“Graphics are good.”
“You need a stronger computer due to its high graphics.”
“Unfortunately, this game's graphics aren't really good, and I would rather prefer a smaller world for the beginning than a huge world with really slow rendering.”
“No matter what you do, even if you change the graphics quality of the game, it will still crash.”
“(My PC and graphics cards are upper class, so it's not because my PC isn't good enough or something like that.) Also, the flowers, bushes, and stuff like that are simple 2D sprites, and the islands are both very, very empty.”

The game's story is criticized for being directionless and lacking depth, with many players feeling it revolves solely around mining and selling rather than offering a meaningful narrative. Additionally, the absence of tutorials leaves players confused about gameplay mechanics, leading to boredom with the limited quests available. Overall, the story feels unfinished and fails to engage players effectively.
“The storyline is absolute bullsh*t; it lacks direction and meaning.”
“It feels as if the only purpose and story in the game is to mine and sell.”
“One thing that makes me feel sad or mad is that there's no tutorials whatsoever, so at first I didn't know what I was able to do and had no idea what to do. I just did some 'main' quests and got bored with it for a long time.”

“(about 1 hour of gameplay worth) there doesn't seem to be any updates at the moment, so I'm not sure how fast or active the developers are.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, requiring extensive farming—up to 1.5 hours of collecting iron to purchase carrots for taming rare horses. The interface is also criticized for being unappealing, contributing to a frustrating initial experience before players can find a rhythm.
“The interface doesn't look appealing, and you can't do anything at all besides farming iron to buy carrots, which are needed to tame very rare horses.”
“The opening and getting into the game is unhelpful, and it takes roughly 1.5 hours of pure farming to 'buy' a horse. Once you get a flow going, you're good.”
“The interface doesn't look appealing, and you can't do anything at all besides farming iron to buy carrots, which are needed to tame very rare horses.”
