really cool game. looks fantastic. crafting is really cool and pretty inuitive once you get it figured out. adding a multiplayer component would really take this game to the next level
This is an Amazing game with many things to like, it's so creative and well polished. I highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys MC, Valheim, or Terarria-type games.
Unbelievable potential for this game. Amazing physics, magic system, everything. But PLEASE make the map way bigger. Its almost claustrophobic. Exploration is one of the best parts of a sandbox game, so when its possible to reach all the borders in a very short time, it makes the rest of the game feel empty. Even still, this game is incredible. Highly recommend.
muy repetitivo y con procesos demasiado largos, solo lo sigo teniendo por que se me fue el tiempo de juego
geiles game leider etwas wenig an content für meinen Geschmack ansonsten nur liebe für das spiel das Bausystem ist premium und der Kampf fühlt sich auch echt gut an kann ich nur empfehlen. Leider magnelt es wie gesagt am content
Fun, compelling, but so far simple crafting survival game. The Niota-like voxel physics serve as an incredible foundation for the game and have provided me with many incredible moments, like mining into a pocket of gravel and scurrying as each voxel cascades into a cave-in, or like the first time I shot a fireball at a tree and watched as it smoldered into a heap. The combat in its current iteration is also impressive, though I hope that in the final version there are more weapons. Stacking explosive barrels up on a boss spawn BG3 style is really fun and you can turn the boss and the arena surrounding it into a mini crater if you put down enough. The game lacks several features that I would expect it to have, though I give it some leeway as it is a solo dev project. No multiplayer is currently available, and the base game has a very short progression path. The current world is impressive. Its zones are meticulously designed and their bosses are unique and interesting. But 4.5 zones you can progress through in minutes, 5 bosses, and only 4 bare-bones tech tiers makes for a short game. However, I have faith these features will eventually be expanded upon. If any of that is a deal breaker for you, keep watching the game for updates. To me, what the game already has makes it stand out above other, fully-realized games of this genre and is worth playing even in its abbreviated, single-player state.

So fun, I don't think this should even be compared to Minecraft, it's a lot better.
Bon jeu d'artisanat avec des Volex en open world, (un peu frustrant de ne pas pouvoir faire le dernier succès où on doit mourir sous une avalanche de sable qui ne fonctionne pas)
worth the wait
