Steam reviews

What players say

Players who enjoy cozy crafting and goofy humor mostly recommend it, but many find the grind and clunky combat wear thin in later biomes.

Many players praise the writing, which is funny and self-aware, along with the cartoonish visuals, the cute creature collection and the story that ramps up as you progress. Players also like the freedom to build a base and craft gear, and several returning players say it still holds up years after first playing it on mobile. The main complaints are the grind, with the same loop repeated in each biome and large material requirements for crafting and upgrades. Some players find the combat basic and frustrating, with enemies that one-shot you or drop focus constantly, and others dislike vague quest objectives and slow movement. Recent reviews are more negative than Steam's overall totals, and a few mention controller problems and an unsupported co-op mode.

Who it suits

Suits players who want a relaxed, silly crafting adventure with lots of humor and do not mind repetitive progression.

Who should skip it

Players who want deep survival, polished combat or clear quest guidance should skip it, especially on higher difficulty.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with under 20 hours are mixed, often finding the early grind and combat off-putting, while players with 20 to 200 hours mostly recommend it for the humor and crafting.
