[h1]Has promise for $15[/h1] Pros: [b]#1.[/b] The game is very open-world, despite not actually being an open-world game ie. the freedom to explore is pretty good, not leaving the player feeling cramped [b]#2.[/b] The game runs very well and only uses 20% of my GPU even whilst streaming [b]#3.[/b] The game has a 3rd-person view available in addition to the isometric view (if you like that kind of thing) Cons: [b]#1.[/b] No crafting from storage. If this feature isn't added to the game before launch, then I'll be changing my review to negative. These types of games MUST have crafting from storage. [b]#2.[/b] No tutorial [b]#3.[/b] No sprinting [b]#4.[/b] No fps options [b]#5.[/b] No actual information on the differences between easy/normal/hard difficulties [b]#6.[/b] You lose 200exp when you die, and this can't be disabled [b]#7.[/b] Music is terrible, and the music is copyrighted In my video review, I repeatedly compared this game to Aethus (which is exactly like this game, except it's much much higher quality), and I think this game will be able to get close to the level which Aethus is currently on, with regards to quality+content, but it will take a lot of work from this dev.…

A lot better than i thought, the game is made by gamers. They combined a lot of mechanics to improve the gameplay of open world survival games. Played 90min here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBhDhXuf098 So whats special? at first sight nothing but you have to mine resources and bugs will attack you, you have to research OR find technologies to make things easier. Like a hoverboard or a gun, then you move the train to a new location and you get new quests. The map is not autogenerated, its handcrafted at least for the first part. You also find a lot of ruins to help with materials, it has co-op and a level up system with usefull upgrades. For the price you will get a great indie game but you need to invest a few hours into it before it gets good.

I want to throw this game some love since it has so few reviews. Only played about an hour so far, but I'm actually really impressed. It scratches lots of different itches and the progression is rewarding. The combat is challenging but fair and requires some strategy, in a good way. Minor bugs but nothing serious. I'm excited to keep playing and I really hope the devs keep working on it as they've got something really fun, well designed, and different here.

If you like a fun stylized and semi cozy game this is for you. I found combat a bit challenging but I'm afraid that's probably skill on my part.
