This is not worth any price tag. One of the main buildings you need to progress can't be built there is a discussion open about it where is the fix. AI is clunky people starve to death when you have 15+ gathering what are they gathering and where are they putting it? 30 mins is all I got out of it I played it for 3 hrs according to steam which I more than lily want get a refund which means I'm burnt again on a game launched that is broken from the start. Developers do you even test this crap before you launch it as a playable product? Alpha is a word use way to often for cash grabbing now days. Alpha means hay here's a game we may or may not finish it. Or my all favorite we want your input on what to do next! What you don't have a plan already? I can not recommend this as a alpha or even a game. Don't buy stay away if you don't want to waste your money.

When I first loaded the world, I was able to pick a character. I spawned in a castle surrounded by characters, tall and short alike. That's all I know to do, which was nothing. Explored a bit, entered a house then practiced punching. Ended up fazing right through a wall and falling out of the game. All in all, it was $3.78 and worth allot of laughs. I've been reading the comments since this game was released and figured I’d give it a go in hopes for improvement. I sadly discovered this game is more of a gag to play than anything else. Recommending this to those wanting a good laugh.
