What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the game's unique building system and sandbox gameplay with roguelike elements, though some find it genuinely challenging and atmospheric. Common complaints center on the game's roguelike structure forcing difficult choices between rewards, balance issues that can feel unfair, and a mismatch between marketing and actual gameplay—some expected a progression-based building game but got more of an FTL-like deck-building experience instead. The developers have stated the game is complete and won't receive major updates beyond critical fixes, which frustrates those hoping for balance
Underrated sandbox-rougelike-engineering game with an (actually) unique building system. The snakes are terrifying.3 found this helpful
This game is pretty fun, but the one thing is that it [i]really[/i] triggers my FOMO, I don't want to pick between two rewards, I want both, but the game structure doesn't really let you do that. Also, as a perfectionist, I just hate taking damage, and want to harvest [i]every resource on every planet every run[/i] because I'll never get it again. Other than that, it's fine. Also, don't expect update from this game. The devs have openly said it's a "complete title" and that it's up to their vision as is. It's not changing apart from critical Unity updates to vulnerabilities.
This game is really not what it markets itself to be. I expected a game about progressively getting better at constructing, mining, fighting, etc. Instead of a build-a-ship FTL clone. If that sounds interesting to you, don't bother. It's bad at being a build-a-ship FTL clone.
WHY AM I ABLE TO LEAVE A REVIEW ON A GAME I NEVER OWNED OR PLAYED?! Still buying it when I get paid thanks to the sale but until then enjoy a free positive review Stray Fawn!!!
the game has great potential but its just not there, the balance is not good. im sure a lot of peoople would have fun with it but for myself and i imaging a large swath of people its just not great.
