« Build a hut for your friends. They'll burn it down. You'll cry deeply, then build a better hut together. Sail to another island, get murdered by the natives (and other players), escape a giant monkey. Its a good old time. »👍 anonymous review · Sep 2025 · 6 h played2« A unique extraction shooter? WOW!

« If you don't like PvP, avoid this game. I thought I would give it a try, but getting blasted by a fully kitted out player on the island you are forced to go onto repeatedly just ruins the fun for anyone hoping for a PvE experience. »👎 anonymous review · Oct 2025 · 2 h played3221« Not ready yet. Feels like it has the bones of a good game but currently its all bones. Graphics, combat, animations all need work. Building system is also really painful to use. »👎 anonymous review · Sep 2025 · 1 h played1« acheter le jeux aujourd'hui, j'ai pu joué vraiment 2h au jeux, ne l'acheter pas les serveur sont hs, c'est une honte. »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 3 h played« cant plair it said we are starting new server try again later sice yesterday »👎 anonymous review · Aug 2026 · 0 h played« Jeux de m**de simplement, heureusement seulement 4 euros, ni un bon survival, ni un bon extraction shooter et en plus vide de joueurs car même pas de vrais serveurs »👎 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 3 h played« Franchement je suis très content de mon achat , belle surprise pour ma part, agréable à jouer, graphismes et gameplay sympas, je recommande à 100% »👍 anonymous review · Apr 2026 · 52 h played
