Reviews
- Hardcore survival gameplay with a strong core concept and promising mechanics, appealing to fans of old-school RPGs like NeoScavenger and Day R.
- Developed by a single attentive developer who listens to player feedback, with ongoing improvements including a sandbox mode and save system fixes.
- Engaging atmosphere and depth with a large map, slow stat leveling, and multiple playstyles, providing long playtime for those who enjoy grind and challenge.
- Combat is currently unbalanced and punishing, leading to frequent frustration and difficulty surviving encounters even after significant preparation.
- The save system has been problematic with limited slots and bugs causing progress loss, although some fixes have been implemented.
- Lack of character diversity in portraits and minimal narrative guidance or quests, which may reduce player immersion and accessibility.

5 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay features a solid core concept with familiar RPG mechanics and survival elements that appeal to fans of the genre. However, some players have experienced frustrating issues and problematic implementation that hinder enjoyment, prompting negative comparisons to similar titles.
“The game has a strong core concept and some promising mechanics, and I genuinely want to enjoy it.”
“Very good game for those who like the style and gameplay.”
“You have all the RPG skills and mechanics you would expect, a few traits that change your playstyle, and then it's all about surviving and grinding.”
“Edit 2: Being constantly insulted by three same users (all three ignored now) instead of receiving advice or any form of help because they feel hurt when I point out bad gameplay implementation, problems that break the game and continue harassment and insult. Not sure if they're friends with the dev and think doing that will help the game (not the case at all). I'm fed up and just going to refund that game.”
“Also comparing that game to Neo Scavenger and Kenshi is pure madness. Both games are far better than this one and different. Sure, the game has a few similar gameplay points, but that's all. They're delusional.”
