It is a super fun game to play alone with, but better with friends!
No. Given for free and then taken away? I would say this is the sign of our time.
Never seen a combat system so bad as in this game!

Вроде только открыл игру, а уже 7ч натикало.. максимально убивает время и затягивает
I think Core Keeper is genuinely one of the most fun and entertaining games I've ever played. The story pacing is controllable, the bosses have fun mechanics, and the gear progression is amazing. None of the bosses feel too impossible to beat, and it just feels like a very complete game.
im addicted
I have played this game sooo much the last month, and I am still going strong! Absolutely got my moneys worth! It has a pretty amazing crafting system given the crafting stations limited recipes. All kinds of foods and buffs. Summons, pets, loads of armor and weapon opions and a amazing map with all kinds of enemies to meet? Amazing
