Players can expect around 24 to 35 hours of engaging content, with solid mechanics and a unique art style that sets it apart from similar titles.

    • “It's easy to learn the gist of the mechanics and doesn't require a lot of playthroughs to tackle hard mode once you understand how to maneuver the world.”
    • “The gameplay is par for the course for a survival game, where you gather resources and food and try to brave the dangerous world you're stuck in, except when you see telephone booths scattered around, trees made of meat, snakes whose bodies mimic pipework, and cannons that you climb into in order to get around quickly, you know the game wants you to have fun and not take it too seriously.”
    • “It has recognizable traits that you would see in most survival games but it holds its own unique qualities that make it something fresh, boasting its own experience and simple, yet fun gameplay.”
    • “If you're familiar with the survival and crafting mechanics of Minecraft, this will seem like its baby brother (no mining and no real world-altering, but lots of survival, crafting, and alchemy).”
    • “The gameplay is par for the course for a survival game, where you gather resources and food and try to brave the dangerous world you're stuck in.

    • “Expected some low-quality glitchy game with wacky mechanics and physics; what I got was a well-polished gem served on a rusty spoon.”
  • grinding28 mentions

    Reviews on the grinding aspect of the game are mixed; while some players find the grinding tedious and repetitive, particularly in the early game and for crafting upgrades, others appreciate it as a meditative experience. The lack of meaningful rewards for grinding activities, such as resource gathering and farming, detracts from the overall enjoyment for some, though the game offers diverse playstyles and engaging random events that can alleviate the grind for others. Overall, the balance between fun and grindiness varies significantly among players.

    • “There are no real rewards for doing things; swimming out to the boat; and well, the game is just pretty boring and grindy.”
    • “The first hour just seems boring, your crafting menu feels limited, you need 30 wood to make a workbench, and that's a lot of grinding to get that. The graphics aren't particularly amazing to keep you engaged; I guess that's why some people don't make it past the first hour.”
    • “A lot of grinding to get ores to get the crafting upgrades.”
  • story22 mentions

Overall, the simplicity of the plot does not detract from the enjoyment, making it accessible and fun for all ages.

    • “Fun, hilarious, and feels very original. I have not yet finished the story of this game, but it is very well made, and the developer is very kind and professional.”
    • “Rather you're making your own quest for food, slaying odd beasts, or on a supply run, it will never end the same way.”
    • “There isn't really a story to follow apart from the notion mentioned in the game's description; most of the tasks are straightforward and the crafting tree isn't complicated.”
    • “Such as weird quests like finding rusty spoons with a metal detector or doing something to appease the space spaghetti monster.”
    • “The plot is simple: you've crash-landed on a strange alien planet, and you've got to use your wits to gather resources and survive in order to build a rocket home.”
  • replayability14 mentions

    The game offers a mix of replayability, with some players enjoying its crafting and survival elements, while others feel it lacks depth after completing the main quest.

Overall, it garners a moderate replay value rating of 7/10.

    • “One exception is that it has a huge amount of replayability.”
    • “[strike]Permadeath[/strike] adds to the replayability, so I'd suggest you stick with normal mode until all XP rewards are unlocked [spoiler](craftable in-game items that make a wrongworld of difference on later playthroughs)[/spoiler].”
    • “While Wrongworld is not a huge robust sandbox, nor does it have much replay value once you 100% the game, it's still a fairly enjoyable game your first time through it.”
    • “Sure, there is replay value, but I would have liked to have had a bit more to do before reaching end-game and eventually completing the main quest.”
    • “[strike]Permadeath[/strike] adds to the replayability, so I'd suggest you stick with normal mode until all XP rewards are unlocked [spoiler](craftable in-game items that make a Wrongworld of difference on later playthroughs)[/spoiler].”
