Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this free, chaotic co-op survival roguelike, though its brutal difficulty spikes, lack of saves and unpredictable deaths split opinion.

Many players praise how quickly a session escalates: you start with nothing, gather, craft and build, then nights bring sudden, overwhelming enemy waves. Co-op with friends is the most repeated source of fun, with chaotic base building and shared failure. Some players appreciate the simple look, the low system requirements and the variety of perks and bosses that makes each run feel different. The most common complaints are the steep difficulty spike around the first nights and mid-game bosses, the absence of a save system so a lost run means starting over, and a clumsy UI and combat feel. Some players find solo play frustrating. Some recent reviews are harsher than the older helpful ones, citing enemies respawning mid-craft and little reason to continue once a run ends, while several long-time players say they still return to it.

Who it suits

Players who enjoy punishing survival roguelikes and especially those who want to play chaotically with friends.

Who should skip it

Those who dislike sudden difficulty spikes, cannot accept losing whole runs without saves, or plan to play mostly alone.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with more than 100 hours tend to talk about mastering harder difficulties and speed-run style challenges, while newer players mostly complain about early deaths and the lack of saves.
