« Just an amazing game in all respect. It gives the real feel of original S.T.A.L.K.E.R. with the top down view and very beautiful hand-crafted visuals. It has the potential to become a class in itself. Great work, Scavland team! »

« Il a l'air d'être vraiment intéressant, pour l'instant je ne regrette pas cet achat. Très inspiré de zéro sievert que j'avais beaucoup aimé aussi. Je n'ai pour l'instant pas rencontré de problèmes. »

« Art style is great and the world seems interesting. Gameplay feels like a much-worse version of Zero Sievert. If you have done everything in that game and still want more, maybe this will scratch the itch. Hard pass from me. »

Cependant, l'unique vidéo analysée tend à occulter les frictions relevées par la communauté, notamment les bugs techniques et les lourdeurs d'interface qui divisent l'expérience globale.
