How it feels

A grim and tactical open-world survival where every mercenary decision feels consequential in a harsh, unforgiving land.

What players say

Players praise the tactical combat and open world but are split by the monetization. Many say the base game is good, but DLCs are overpriced and pushed early, while a memory leak and co-op save bugs cause crashes. Some warn of a grinding difficulty spike around levels 8-12 and note enemy scaling makes every fight an hour long.
