“My friend and I are giving it the ol' college try. There are things to like such as building, grinding can be relaxing but this is too much. Example: After stone you start making brass weapons. You have to go out and…”
“could be better but still decent enough to scratch that craft-survival itch”

“Just scratching the surface, but i was looking for conan exiles kind of custom private server, just deeper. Combat is not as organic/pysical, but still you can appreciate an extra layer of polish, like just hunting…”
“Like Conan Exiles but with more challenge and fewer customized tiles to use. Good for group play and you can build an army for solo or small groups.”

“Highly recommend this game to anyone who likes building structures and managing a civilization. The creative freedom is what originally had me sold, but who ever is behind the industrial engineering mechanics of this…”
“I have a good understanding of the game mechanic's to make it feel real, the amount of time it takes to level makes it feel like im really trying to survive, makes things interesting and challenging, i have overcome…”

“trash. looks good but game is so bad I forgot I had it hidden. attempted again still bad”
“Janky combat like Mount and Blade. Grind heavy. Official Servers would be toxic as all heck. Visually pretty enough, well optimized and has gameplay and substance for a survival game. 100% doesn't get the attention it…”

“A great idea with poor execution. Poor performance on a good PC, translation and UI errors. Oh, and a cash shop in the game you paid money up front for.”
“Man this game sucked. What's even the point of having a jump button if you can't even clear a 1 inch high slab or foundation. Can't stack foundations on top of each other, but if you run into higher ground while…”

“This is a great game. If you like playing PVE on your own server, and like Conan/Ark/Aska/Valheim/Soulmask, you will like this game. It will take some tweaking to "right size" the server for your play. There is an almost overwhelming depth. (Think wuxia.) There is fortress…”
