I'm really enjoying this game playing mostly with a mouse. I'm at 7 hours and it feels like what I like with Don't Starve which is simple on the surface but so much depth to explore. Unfortunately I'll say I didn't feel like I fully understood how to tweak the controls right until 4-5 hours in. I think the game gives too much depth in the settings up front, like which tools to possibly use for which task to do automatically before moving on to the next decision tree. It's great once you get it, but settings at that level would be better being in an "advanced" menu for these things, and have it simplified by default. Again, I'm glad I held out because I can tell its a great survival craft game, but I think a lot of people will give up on reading all the menus before that point. Beyond that, the game is a steal at $8 if you're not turned off by the slow curve to really understand everything. Editing after my ~13 or so hours: I'm not seeing any late game challenge. So I made the boat and explored around and found the world more limited than I expected. I expected something like Don't Starve or Valheim has where you encounter tougher enemies I wasn't ready for and there's just none of that. Once you have a full kit of basic gear the wolves and sharks are the worst enemies you see for the most part. While there are some curse nights and one skeleton I found that almost killed me, I never saw one again. It doesn't have the depth i expected it to at first. You could spend many more hours base building and farming and having fun simply for the sake of building a nice base but it's not really unlocking anything special to work towards. So, pretty flat on if its worth it or not. But, again, it's priced fairly so pick it up if you want to play for a while.
If your favorite part of survival crafting is slow progression, lots of work to build useful products, and perpetually organizing 1000s of fiddly items in not enough chests, you'll love it. The interface is much more polished than Unreal World and it has multiplayer! Co-op works well. Turns only happening when one player moves feels great. There's some slowdown and desync disconnects for the non-host, but it hasn't been too bad. At $8 it's very underpriced.
Rough game in the beginning, but once you learn all the systems and quirks it has, it is a good game with a lot of potential. If you want to play with friends, I recommend first playing a singleplayer game because the time stops if you don't do anything (classic roguelike/turn based gameplay) so you have time looking at the tooltips of items and the crafting menu (it is kind of like Terraria crafting, you will discover the item craft if you have some materials to craft it, no need to have all the materials to see it though. Once you discover a crafting recipe, it stays in your crafting menu forever.) while in multiplayer, the turns are real time instead, so hunger/thirst, etc don't stop if you don't do anything.
Not going to refund this one, but this isn't a game for me. Its a bit too clunky.... But... This one feels cruel to thumbs down or get a refund, its a good effort of a game and when that happens... I can't let my own lack of patience and furstrations towards the game go. The creator(s) has at least my support at least, good job, its a good game, just not one for me. I can see the attraction for those with tons of time and patience for it. Its like other survivor games, but has too many tools and actions to do and too much to learn at the start. If the entire game was made simple... It would actually make the game 10x worst and not better. Usually I comment if a game is too hard for newbie or people who want to learn a game in 15 minutes like myself... But that doesn't do this one justice. The game is GOOD because its got a fiddle and steep learning curve. Its good because its trying something new and different to Minecraft and other similar games. The games... Too cheap and I think that is bad. Less then £7 for a game with a lot of potential to be a nice great little piece? This should be in the £15 range min. Don't abandon it, please bring it out of early access. I'd like to see it leave Early Access.
A very fun survival crafting game, with lots to do. The game has a lot of depth in its crafting system, and can be very challenging at first. The game is still in early access, and if you're not already a fan of difficult roguelikes and survival crafting games, it might not be for you, but if the genre is something you're interested in, the game offers much more than just about anything at its price point. Updates are somewhat sporadic, but the developer is active on their discord and open about what is being added to the game.
