14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay has been criticized for lacking challenge, as entities do not pose a significant threat and the mechanics feel underdeveloped. Suggestions for improvement include introducing a thirst mechanic, enhancing enemy speed, and implementing a skill-based element or harsher penalties for dying. While some players find it lacking, others attribute their dissatisfaction to personal preferences rather than inherent flaws in the game.
“The entities aren't really even a threat; I think they should move faster than the player, and there should be some hiding mechanic. Alternatively, if the maps were bigger, the entities could pose a more lethal threat if encountered, making it more rare.”
“Overall, not quite my cup of tea, but that's more personal gameplay preference than a fault of the game itself.”
“The entities aren't really even a threat; I think that either they should move faster than the player, and there should be some hiding mechanic, or the maps should be bigger. Then the entities could be a more lethal threat if encountered since it would be more rare.”
“There should be another element to the game where some mechanical skill comes into play, or maybe making the game harder by simply resetting you back to level 1 if you die.”
“It's not the worst game ever, but even keeping in mind that this is an early access game, some of the features and mechanics are just not good.”
