About
Welcome to SAND: Raiders of Sophie. Pilot your custom built war machines across the dunes of a fallen planet, battle rival players, scavenge for loot, weapons, ammo and resources, survive and extract with your spoils in a massive procedurally generated world.
Out here on Sophie, a raider is only as strong as their Trampler. Fully customizable, gigantic walking mechs that shield you from the elements, defend you and your loot from rival scavengers and rain destruction on anything that obstructs your pursuit of becoming the most notorious raider upon the dunes!
Design a modular trampler where your creativity and will to succeed is your only limit.
Build an impenetrable fortress that can weather the deadliest of assaults, a walking war machine stacked with mounted turrets and firepower, something small and stealthy to get you out of trouble as quickly as you get into it or a chaotic jumble of modules to confuse and disorient your enemies.
No matter your playstyle, you can design a trampler to support it.
Get your crew together, or go solo as you embark on expeditions. Deploy into the world, chart your course, and scavenge cities, ruins, shipwrecks and other remnants of a fallen world for loot. Survive encounters with the mysterious supernatural Upiors, fight or talk your way out of confrontations with other players, locate your extract point and escape to the safety of the orbital station with your loot, life and Trampler intact.
Smoke on the horizon, the groans of the undead echoing through the cities, and the distant rumble of sand all signal danger. Every city looted, shipwreck scoured or ill-timed encounter with other scavengers might just be your last, so keep your wits about you.
There are no friends on Sophie, the only ones you can trust are you and yours.
Design your Tramplers from scratch in the Trampler Editor before deploying into the world. Test your builds and scavenge lower-tier items at your own pace in Voyage Mode, or raise the stakes in Storm Dive for higher-tier loot and greater rewards, where as sandstorms slowly engulf the region, the risk of confrontations with other scavengers and the loss of your hard earned loot increases.

just another game that has PVE and peope are only going to camp the POIs,
Sadly this game is full of cheaters with teleports, turning of your motor so you cant move your trampler, aimbot, flying around, everything you want... hopefully this will get fixed soon otherwise this game cant last long. people teaming up in solos with discord. without all that, game would be very fun but its not in this state
This game is easily one of the worst extraction shooters out there right now. The game is absolutely overrun with cheaters, and the worst part is the anti-cheat is non-existent and the report button doesn't even work. The community is constantly complaining about this, and the devs are doing nothing. On top of the hackers, the servers are a complete joke. On my first ever raid, I was trying to extract on a zipline and the game kept rubber-banding and teleporting me back to the bottom. I couldn't move or do anything. I waited 5 minutes, gave up, and alt-f4'd. The game literally told me I had 10 minutes to relog and rejoin, but when I opened it back up, my entire character was just deleted. Progress wiped instantly. Even if you don't get hit by game-breaking bugs, the gameplay is terrible. The gunplay feels awful, hit reg is broken, and the map is so empty and boring between points of interest. It's also completely unplayable if you're a solo player going against squads. To make it worse, the optimization is a joke. I'm running a high-end PC (RTX 5080, 64 GB DDR5, Ryzen 7 9800X3D) and I still get massive FPS drops. Save your money. 0/10 until they fix the servers, get a real anti-cheat, and patch the extraction bugs.
Can we get a lobby report button where an admin comes right away to ban hackers because it is bad? Game is fun to play with everyone, even solos have been a good experience to grind out the tech tree. Matchmaking is bad for trios and worst for anything above if you don't have the right tech. The game needs a wipe due to the abuse of duplicating in the game and hackers. In all the game a 6/10 in playtest by the way.
просто калоеды на разрабе, то сервера отключат без предупреждения и ты теряешь 4 часа игры и тонну лута, то тебя просто посреди матча выкинет из игры за "подозрительную активность", хоть ты за матч убил 2 кристалла и просто 10 минут убегал от другого игрока, но реальные читеры не банятся и попадаются через игру. плюс постоянные синие экраны и краши игры (вне зависимости от конфигурации компа и настроек). Если вы людитель пожрать говна, то игра для вас. Не покупайте
1. Spawned in the air, died. 2. Attempted to respawn, just couldn't. 3. At least 3 hackers flew by right off the bat. Conclusion: Unplayable
The graphics are stunning, bringing the dunes to life with vibrant detail. But the real star is the gameplay. The mechanics are truly never-before-seen, offering a depth and fluidity that feels entirely new even for someone with decades of experience in this space.
after 50 hours playing solo and duos only, it's fair to say that the duo to trio matchmaking is discusting, you simply cannot compete with a trio with a ''decent'' ship against your ''above decent'' duo ship. i'm not picking the game again until theres a dedicated duo only matchmaking.
Needs gear based matchmaking / anti-camp extract mechanics. Power level difference is too great with armored ship vs weak ships and coordinated team. Duo game mode only matches with trios which is not fair at all. Easier new player onboarding and faster matches Great concept / core gameplay loop, high hopes for its future. Robocraft Sea of thieves vibes Will update once improved
game was fun for a bit then after recent update i keeps spawning me so close to enemies that before I can turn my engine on or mount guns even with 3 people we just get steamrolled by 2 to 3 people as soon as we spawn in. literally looted 1 boat the was next to us one game and as soon as we got back to the trampler we were already being pushed by 2 people so if you like just getting spawn camped game after game then be my guest
