| 2025-01-26 |  | | I loved the story and tasks in the game, but I had to uninstall because after my character dies, I always have to start all over again, which is frustrating after working so hard to level up. I could have purchased gems to revive, but that wasn't cutting it for me. If the character was given a certain amount of lives and when you use them up, you have to wait until your lives are replenished, I wouldn't mind that . But to either purchase a new life or start over, that's too annoying for me. |
| 2024-11-23 |  | | Lol. After like a month of being offline, I come back to an update that says "lowers difficulty on easy mode". Thank god. I've been pulling my hair out trying to survive. It felt like this game, on EASY, was more difficult than Terraria and Dark Souls (of which I am a veteran in both games). Hopefully the update rings true and "Easy" is actually easy. |
| 2024-11-11 |  | | Good, fun game. My bf and I played it, but I don't like that after you die, you die for good. Some of the enemies are really overpowered, or you will be so low, and you have no food and just get bombarded by enemies. And I feel like the animals should drop food more just cause you need food a lot, and it's in little supply when you are first starting out. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | Love the game, Not complaining about anything EXCEPT THE CRASHING!!!! Idk why but the game just becomes chunky then suddenly crashes and I lose a bit of progress each time then have to open the game again I'm on a Moto G Play if that's the issue but DAMN has this issue irritated me so much, I wouldn't say it's a recent issue but it's just gotten so annoying only playing for 15-30 minutes and the game starts running like trash then crashes, Pls fix this!! I'm tired and beaten from it 🤦🏿 |
| 2024-08-25 |  | | This is actually a good little survival game. I like the gameplay, with the tile-based movement and it has enough depth to remain interesting so far. DEFINITELY needs work in the UI department though. Has my fingers reaching all over the screen for different buttons/actions. Feels like yet another mobile game made with PC controls in-mind. |
| 2024-06-27 |  | | Downloaded and discovered I am had already played before. Now I remember why I uninstalled. There's never enough food, fires and torches don't last, too few portals to teleport so you're backtracking all the time, and the biggest issue is the expense to revive so you basically have to start over every time you die. And you will die, bc you can't make strong enough weapons, and since things don't respawn, you have to go to parts too hard so you can get materials. Not bad, but could be better. |
| 2024-03-04 |  | | Fantastic game. I'm deployed, and need deep games like this to occupy my time sometimes, while simultaneously not having an internet connection. This is one of my favorite games to play to take my mind off things. That being said, there is only one improvement that I can think of: We need a way to revive offline. I'll pay more for an offline version. I would love to see some way, either a week long waiting period or ANYTHING to revive offline. Oh, and opening ruins offline would be nice! |
| 2022-12-10 |  | | This game is pretty great and I've played it over and over. However it is frustrating to have to start over on death unless you purchase ankhs. I wish there were a premium option to make a save totem or something instead or at least allow us to purchase some things gained from basic progression so that we arent starting from scratch everytime. |
| 2022-10-11 |  | | Love the game. But. I hate how extremely rare it is for animals you kill to drop food. It's rediculous the amount of times I've died from starvation because I can't find or make any food. It's very frustrating. And then it gives you the tip "You have died from starvation. Try eating more food." Wow, thank you for that. Because I totally have all this food infront of me that I'm just stareing at instead of eating. 😑 I WOULD eat more food if I could find some. |
| 2022-09-12 |  | | This game is frustratingly addictive. You have to balance so much to stay alive. Some resources are scarce, so you have to plan ahead and save for specific things. It's very satisfying to play despite all that. I enjoy the mechanics of the game, especially the gear. I wish there were some more explanations to some of the mechanics. The character sheet is just a bit confusing since not everything can be clicked on for more information. Also, I need a recipe book... Devs, add a recipe book!! |
