SAND: Raiders of Sophie

This game is a ton of fun and I have been grinding it. It is clearly in early access with a lot of bugs. I’m still playing the ♥♥♥♥ out of it with the bugs the tech tree is a lot of fun to work through this is like better sea of thieves

Game is great until this recent update. Never get near a trampler that is sinking in the sand. You will get kicked and be reviewed as suspicious activity. I extracted from a small team voyage run and must have lagged out climbing up the rope and never disconnecting. Trampler "made it out" while I was stuck not able to do anything. Lost my trampler and all of the loot I collected. Great game. This update has just made the game a bit unplayable now.

Great game, needs work on some things but overall a fun time

not a good game at all played for just two hours and they refuse to give me a refund they just try copying sea of thieves but on land and its terrible allowing teamers in solos like they need to fix there game or just shut it down because this is the worst game i have played in a very long time

Wasn't fun, the world felt boring and dull, it felt like there was no danger while roaming the dunes. Fights felt boring and like there was no weight behind them. The crawlers felt to slow and like they we're 30 pounds, playing with friends is a nightmare and I'm not even gonna mention the hacking problem

Imagine Sea of Thieves except instead of water it is land/desert and of course much better, your upgrades actually mean something and are not just cosmetics.

SAND: Raiders of Sophie is one of those rare early‑access games that immediately grabs you with its atmosphere and refuses to let go. Even though it’s tough, sometimes punishing, and definitely still rough around the edges, I genuinely enjoy it. The core gameplay loop is simple but addictive: you build and pilot a massive walking Trampler across a harsh desert world, scavenging ruins, fighting raiders, and managing your crew’s survival. The world feels alive in a strange, eerie way — storms roll in, POIs appear on the horizon, and every expedition feels like a small adventure. The Trampler itself is the star of the show: a lumbering, customizable machine that feels both powerful and fragile. Upgrading it, balancing weight, managing fuel, and choosing weapons gives the game a satisfying engineering vibe. That said, the game is difficult. Fuel management is unforgiving, combat can be brutal, and the desert doesn’t care about your feelings. You’re constantly juggling weight, energy rods, crew safety, and navigation. It’s the kind of difficulty that frustrates you for a moment but keeps you coming back because you want to master it. Since it’s early access, there are bugs — UI glitches, odd physics moments, and occasional crashes. Nothing game‑breaking, but enough to remind you that the game is still being built. Despite that, the foundation is strong, and the developers clearly have a unique vision. Overall, SAND: Raiders of Sophie is a challenging but rewarding desert‑crawler with a ton of potential. If you enjoy survival mechanics, machine management, and exploring strange worlds, it’s absolutely worth playing even in its current state. I like it a lot, and I’m excited to see how it grows.

Sick Game overall but having to fight 2v3 nonstop cuz the matchmaking sucks is dumb Like what do u wanna do if the enemys always have 1 Turret more shooting you 1 can always board you and kill while the other 2 are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ your walker up UNBALANCED Matchmaking

One of the buggiest games I have ever played, might be Early Access but its paid Early Access. I wont be back until they do major fixes. You can be on the game for hours faming so it high risk high reward and for that you need core elements to work, going up stairs or ladders on your trampler is one of them. I kept finding myself not being able to use ladders or walk up stairs, need to jump on the railing past the bug. Its not ideal during a high pressure fight. Found myself getting jammed on invisible objects and being able to move. Not being able to jump up small ledges and glitch on them. The main thing is disconnecting from the servers (done the checks, its not my internet) multiple times I have disconnected and reconnected to a destroyed trampler and end up losing everything. So yeah, not interested in this until there is a major quality of life update.

Good Game ♥♥♥♥ Server good job
