first of all this game got potential, but if developers decides to improve this game these are my suggestion about should improve areas, 1. need heavy UI redesign because it is so hard find and identify the the stuff (Edit: once you get used to UI it is easier. but it is still hard for new players.) 2. Assigning tasks to the girls is good but once they receive tasks like gathering stuff they wandering all the way around which can lead to possible monster attacks. to avoid this I think it will be better if we can assign them in a specific area or assigning a tamed animal to protect them. because I don't want to see my girls getting hurt 3.girls character customization is good (Specially booba area, W devs for that) but well it will need some minor adjustment. like changing hair color without that RGB poll bar, if you guys can replace it with i don't know what it called but that graph chart thing it will be better. 4. We need more skins for girls too. 5. also we need "Breed" options too and I'm not talking about monster breeding :D (Edit: Develop this ASAP plz. we are paid customers) 6. items in storage should be stack automatically too because it is pain in ass to stack them manually. (Edit on 11) 7. building mode should be changed too at least if we can get tutorial example video it will be helpful ( I spend entire hour searching how to build shelter. awful UI design made it harder too) 8. Search option for items and crating blueprint will be good to because sometimes its hard to find things. 9. I don't mind Chinese language but Japanese voice over will be a damn good 10. NPC texture details should be improve a little too. that's all for now I will keep playing and will edit my review after. Edit and should add things 11. I found out there is a button that allows you stack items, transfer items that similar and transfer all items (you can find it top right corner in inventory look like bullet insert in word) 12. Still no actual romance she will just call you hubby, even after everything I did for her. 13. This is must change crucial thing. when you upgrading the build for example mud wall to cement wall you have to delete the mud wall and rebuild the cement wall. sometimes when I did that whole base will get destroy and it takes a lot of time to rebuild again. So we need replacement option without destroying it (you guys can take ideas from Once a Human build designs) Thats all for now

A new game constantly being worked on which is a good sign from the developers. Similar to games like the forest, ark survival and Conan exiles. for 13$ its most definitely a steal.

is basically solo Ark, but without as much of the hassle: "taming" is much easier - kill monster -> take egg -> hatch egg. No research to unlock blueprints, and no crazy hi tech crafting. The best part though? your followers will auto teleport to you after a certain distance! no more randomly lost forever pets because you walked through the jungle and your follower got stuck on terrain! There's also the girls, they have basically no impact on gameplay. They're useful to a certain extent for keeping your basic materials stocked up and keeping your crafting running when you aren't around; but they're liabilities in combat and need to have their gear manually adjusted if extreme temps are actively killing them...there's also crazy loud jumpscares from Seraphina to look forward to! There isnt a ton of content, but stat drops of monster eggs is randomized; both in rarity of the egg, and in generated stats when hatched. Similarly, the rare gear variants are dropped as blueprints which is all mostly randomized...all of which you'll want to maximize as the semi-often monster raids on your base can get pretty crazy (on hardcore at least; raid difficulty is toggle-able).

The concept is great, and for a game just released it's pretty good, the AI could be better, really hope they cap how much resources the girls will gather. Can't wait to see what's in store for this game.

You get what you pay for This game is about 13€ and the amount of actual content reflects that, even though to be honest it still feels like an early access game that be adding a ton of content but we'll see, especially since it's declared as an Early Access title I've played thousands of hours of Survival Craft games from Ark over Palworld back to Minecraft and so I've been looking for Games with companions so I wouldn't need to do the boring grind parts but most compareable games feature either only pre-built buildings, no animations or only third person so this game seemed perfect. To be fair the AI does help in the beginning with getting started but once you reach the point where you do have a base you barely even profit from the AI companions since they always get stuck with some monster between them and the base and I just wish you could let your own Monster Army patrol the area instead of the Human companions Anyway the game is a great start and if I compare this to Renfield for example which also didn't start out as an early access game, Renfield did add a ton of extra content and we'll see how this evolves Pro's +AI Companions +Monster collecting +Free Building Con's -Absolutely terrible UI -rare minereals almost only via monster killing -not much content yet
