  • graphics

    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • stability
    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's stability has received mixed reviews, with some players experiencing frequent freezes, glitches, and UI issues that hinder gameplay, while others report smooth performance without crashes. Recent updates have addressed some bugs, but many users still encounter frustrating challenges that can disrupt progress. Overall, while the game shows potential, its stability issues remain a significant concern for many players.

    • “The game runs great for me (Galaxy S8). I have not experienced any crashes or lag, and there are no ads once you start your adventure, which is surprising given the almost laughable state of mobile games in terms of ad placement.”

  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, players have mixed feelings about the game's replayability. While some appreciate the variety and challenge offered in different campaigns, others find the limited scenarios and simplicity lead to a lack of long-term engagement.

    • “Some things would make it a lot more playable.”

  • grinding
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly when it comes to farming resources like hides and navigating a cumbersome crafting menu. While some appreciate the random difficulty that adds unpredictability, many feel that the excessive resource gathering and lack of meaningful content updates contribute to a monotonous experience. Overall, the grinding can detract from the enjoyment of the game, despite its potential for fun.

    • “I've played this game for ages and really loved it, but recently it's become so tedious.”
    • “It doesn't even matter because they don't spoil or affect your craftwork. I get so many unnecessary resources I never use; the crafting menu is wonky and the game gets tedious trying to level up, with new designs but no noticeable content.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received positive feedback for enhancing the overall experience, particularly the end game and menu tracks, which players find enjoyable and fitting for casual play. However, some users have reported technical issues that disrupt the experience, such as being stuck on the menu despite the music still playing.

    • “I have to give props to the developer on the menu music.”
    • “I love the music and the visual sense in this game.”
    • “But then I opened the app again on the 3rd day and although there was still music, nothing I touched on the screen had any effect, resulting in being stuck on the menu.”
    • “The text-based game is so simple yet effective, but the music and sounds add that bit extra (oh that sweet fire when your fire starts crackling).”
  • atmosphere
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's atmosphere is highly praised for its immersive visuals and sound effects, which effectively convey a sense of urgency and wilderness survival. Reviewers emphasize that the atmosphere is not reliant on advanced graphics but rather on the impactful sound design and meaningful choices that enhance the overall experience.

    • “Simple and challenging, with stunning sound effects combining to form a completely unique game atmosphere.”
    • “The atmospherics are perfect for giving the urgency of true wilderness survival.”

    • “Not about the graphics, but about the atmosphere.”
    • “The choices were significant; what I kept or threw away had actual consequences, and the sound effects made the atmosphere that much better.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed feedback; while it runs smoothly in various scenarios, some users report issues with compatibility on newer devices and bugs that affect menu functionality. Additionally, the mobile screen layout is not well-optimized, impacting the overall user experience.

    • “Great concept, but either not optimized for new phones (e.g., OnePlus 6T) or full of bugs that render many menu screens inoperable.”
    • “I think it's a good game, but some behind-the-scenes numbers in the code need optimization to make it a bit more reasonable.”
    • “The screen isn't optimized for mobile.”
  • emotional
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the emotional impact of the game to be profoundly moving, describing it as "absolutely heartbreaking." The experience is intensified by the game's design choice to force players to fully exit the game after a win or loss, rather than simply returning to the main menu, which adds to the emotional weight of the outcomes.

    • “Absolutely heartbreaking.”
    • “When you win or lose, you have to completely exit out of the game instead of just touching the main menu button.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the humor in the game to be a reliable source of entertainment, often turning to it during dull moments. One user humorously noted that they played the game to distract themselves from a plane crash incident, highlighting its ability to provide a lighthearted escape.
