The gameplay has been described as initially brilliant but currently hindered by server issues, making it largely unplayable. Players appreciate the crafting mechanics and the atmosphere reminiscent of games like Rust, but express concerns over the lack of essential survival mechanics, such as eating and drinking, as well as the need for better balance and content. While some find the gameplay fun despite optimization problems, others are turned off by the combat and repetitive resource gathering.

“Besides the optimization issues/memory leak, the gameplay is pretty fun.”
“I think this game has some real potential with this merge of gameplay.”
“No servers, no gameplay; literally unplayable.”
“Yet within the first 34 minutes of gameplay, I'm completely turned off by the combat alone.”
“The typical gameplay of 'find stick and rock - make axe' is too much of this game's bulk when it should really be focusing on the meat.”

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, the overall gameplay can feel repetitive and frustrating, especially in combat. Many express that the lack of engaging content beyond farming leads to dissatisfaction, particularly when playing solo, and technical issues further detract from enjoyment.
“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 stability of the game is marked by notable bugs and glitches, which some players are willing to overlook due to their excitement for the content.
