What players say

Players describe it as a blend of Cult of the Lamb and Palworld, with action shooting and dino breeding. Many praise the local co-op but criticize the maps for being cramped and the gameplay for growing repetitive. Opinions split on whether the breeding RNG is a fun challenge or a grind that drags.
