The gameplay has been described as initially brilliant but currently hindered by server issues, making it unplayable for many. Players appreciate the fun mechanics and atmosphere reminiscent of games like Rust, but express concerns over the lack of essential features like eating and drinking, as well as the need for better combat balance and content expansion.

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while resource gathering is less tedious than in other titles due to consistent material drops, it can still feel repetitive and lacking in excitement. The reliance on farming and the social dynamics of raiding can lead to frustration, especially when compounded by technical issues like lag and poor animations. Overall, the game seems better suited for cooperative play to alleviate the grind.
“Only because there is nothing to look forward to or anything to be joyful about other than farming wood, hunting, or hoping another player comes online to kill him or have him help you down a boss.”
“I like the creative side but it takes a lot of grinding, better suited to having a group of friends.”
“The choppy animations, lack of hit registration, and pure combat lag makes this game near impossible to enjoy playing outside of farming.”

The game's stability is marked by a significant presence of bugs and glitches, which some players are willing to overlook due to their excitement for the game. However, potential buyers are cautioned that if they expect a polished experience, they may want to reconsider their purchase, as the game is still in a developmental phase where player feedback is crucial.
“Bugs and glitches.”
“Expect bugs and glitches and don't purchase if you don't want to help with the development of the game. Don't buy the game if all you're going to do is play it for one hour and refund it because it's not perfect right away.”
“Devs: this one is for you, bugs and glitches can be overlooked at times by fans if there is excitement in the game.”
