“The game is an unfinished mess, the GUI is unbearable and parts of it are still just a re-skin of ARK Survival Evolved. It was fun while it lasted, but now it is abandoned in EA. It should no longer be purchasable…”
“I would really like to see the devs come back to this game. Massive props to the guys at Radioactive for keeping the game going with their mod and making a great server environment for new players and experienced…”

“Despite grapeshot being the worst producers and greedy this is still the best pirate game available. Broken aspects and largely unfinished. More content than all the others combined. Hopefully they sell the rights and a…”
“I took a break from Soulmask waiting for 1.0, randomly booted up Atlas… and I did not expect to get hooked. But here we are. First, the scale. This map is disrespectfully big. I’m talking “is this even a survival game?”…”
“Was a great game! It was much better that Ark Survival. I loved them both but atlas had so much more to offer. then they killed the game no more updates that just abandoned the game unfinished. its very sad because this…”

“Its such a shame they gave up on this project. The core concept is excellent and many of the mechanics work very well. Maybe the map system was over-ambitious, but the wife and I had many hundred of hours enjoying this game with friends.”

— a player, Steam review · 4 hrs played“Started out as a phenomenal game, unfortunately the devs went some strange directions which ultimately killed the game. Really wish someone could buy the original files and reboot it!!”
