How it feels

A sprawling medieval survival sandbox where every resource gathered and structure built feels earned against a harsh, persistent world.

What players say

Players are sharply split. Many call it a griefing haven with a dead player base, unoptimized performance and abandoned development. A smaller group praises the devs' responsiveness and sees potential in the combat and crafting, but even they acknowledge it is rough and early access.
