  • gameplay7 mentions

    The gameplay is praised for its engaging mix of survival elements and innovative mechanics, particularly the unique animal transformation feature reminiscent of older titles. Players appreciate the developers' responsiveness to community feedback, which enhances the overall experience. However, some users express frustration with technical issues, such as a problematic UI and a perceived lack of depth compared to other games like Minecraft.

    • “Great game with an awesome mix of all your favorite survival gameplay ingredients.”
    • “Game mechanics - some of the ideas behind how things work in the game are perfect in the flow of the game.”

    • “Even the UI is completely jacked. I couldn't really change the graphical settings because they stayed the same even after hitting 'apply'. I'm pretty tired of these 'games' that don't even reach the depth of Minecraft in terms of story and gameplay, and Minecraft is pretty shallow; it just has a lot of replayability.”
