What players say

Players are split on Ruinlander. Some praise its hardcore survival and Neo Scavenger inspiration, but many more report broken saves, no character progression, and overwhelming difficulty from the start. The single developer is seen as responsive, though the early access state feels unfinished and frustrating.
