What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Return from Core receives mixed reviews, with players divided on its appeal as a casual crafting game that struggles to capture the charm of its predecessor Core Keeper, hampered by poor translation, bugs, and a mediocre gameplay experience that some find lightweight while others appreciate the lighter tone and character designs.
Dead already. 100%faild
It is missing the charm of Core Keeper, and the basic music with the paper anime girls don't help either.
Bad translation, buggy. As for gameplay its just mediocre. Not a fan of art style either.
I dont get too psyched about craft games that are overly serious. This one feels casual and a better fit for me. The monster girls are the obvious carrot, I like them. The game can feel a little off if youre using controller but I just used my mouse for some actions. Had to use a mouse for the floor 7 boss.
