  • gameplay

    25 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 44% neutral mentions, 12% negative mentions

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many praising its immersive survival elements, crafting mechanics, and unique co-op features, while others criticize the combat mechanics and overall depth as lacking. Players appreciate the art style and atmosphere, likening it to a blend of "Don't Starve" and Diablo, but some feel the gameplay becomes stale and simplistic over time. Suggestions for improvement include enhancing combat mechanics, adding more complexity to gameplay, and refining the communication system for better group interactions.

    • “The immersive survival gameplay is amazing; can't wait till this game is fully released.”
    • “Nice art style, good mechanics, and clearly a decent plan for more content. It's really unique that it's 10-player co-op, with lots of crafting and some decent variation in enemies. Looking forward to the rest of beta and early access.”
    • “I enjoyed the crafting mechanic and the escalating difficulty in finding materials, killing enemies, and resource management.”
    • “Hitboxes and combat mechanics are all trash.”
    • “I played 2 hours, but the first thing developers must change is the fighting mechanics.”
    • “I'd like to say this has some potential, but with the simplistic combat and the shallow gameplay, I would say don't waste your time.”

  • graphics

    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 21% neutral mentions, 16% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their beautiful art style, smooth animations, and thematic consistency, particularly with a Nordic influence. Players appreciate the crisp visuals and unique design elements, although some have noted performance issues that can affect frame rates. Overall, the graphics contribute significantly to the game's immersive environment and enjoyable aesthetic.

    • “Graphics, sounds, and music are really perfect.”
    • “The art style is nice, and the animations are smooth and responsive.”
    • “The art style is beautiful, and I dig the setting.”
    • “The graphics are okay for the game, but they could be improved to enhance the overall experience.”
    • “The visuals are very pleasing, but they don't compensate for the lack of depth in gameplay.”
    • “While the graphics are crisp and refreshing, they feel somewhat generic and fail to leave a lasting impression.”

  • grinding

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and frustrating, particularly with farming mechanics that feel unbalanced and unfulfilling. Many suggest that the experience could be improved by making resource gathering less repetitive and introducing more complex survival elements. Additionally, some players have discovered strategies to gain experience passively, indicating that the current system may not encourage active engagement as intended.

    • “The farming in the game is disgusting.”
    • “Finding materials can become quite tedious at times.”
    • “I know you want players to return to the village and not just explore, but sometimes getting into one bad ambush causes you to have to run for a very long and tedious time back to a portal or village, just to heal, which isn't fun.”

  • story

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The story aspect of the game is generally well-received, with players appreciating the engaging plot and mission-based structure involving NPCs. However, some users feel that the narrative could benefit from further development and depth, suggesting that it lacks the richness found in other titles like Torchlight or Titan's Quest. Overall, while the combat and story are enjoyable, there is a desire for a more substantial narrative experience.

    • “Perfect plot games.”
    • “Combat is fairly smooth and the story is great!”
    • “Playing this also made me think I should play other games like Torchlight or Titan's Quest instead.”
    • “It would be nice to have a bit more of a story to the game.”
    • “An introductory story mode with NPCs that give you missions to accomplish along with protecting your village, like 'kill 10 wolves and give me their leather' or 'kill one jotun and collect his soul', would be great.”

  • replayability

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    67% positive mentions, -67% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Players find the game highly replayable, especially as they become more familiar with its mechanics. The inclusion of interactive quests, dynamic regions, and randomly triggered events enhances the experience, making it engaging for those who prefer PvE content and seek variety to avoid monotony.

    • “Very replayable and extremely nice to play once you get a feel for how everything works.”
    • “In this case, towns and villages can feel more alive, regions can have more interactive quests, rewards, randomly triggered incidents, etc. I'm not fond of PvP challenges, so PvE is okay for me, but I always seek replayability in a PvE game to avoid feeling stuck in a loop.”
    • “The towns and villages feel static, lacking the dynamic elements that could enhance replayability, such as interactive quests and randomly triggered incidents.”
    • “I'm not a fan of PvP challenges, so I focus on PvE, but I find myself stuck in a loop without enough replayability to keep things fresh.”
    • “The game needs more engaging content to encourage replayability; otherwise, it quickly becomes repetitive.”

Players also note that the gameplay can feel repetitive and fast-paced, indicating a need for further refinement in both network and overall optimization.

    • “There is some need for network optimization: health bars are displayed incorrectly, sometimes enemies just warp into existence or stand in impossible places, and there are a lot of different small menu issues, but this is known, I guess.”
