Why you might like it

  • Procedurally generated voxel worlds can be reshaped through digging, terrain editing and free-form construction.
  • Mining, gathering, crafting, survival needs and combat connect exploration to character and settlement progression.
  • Offline single-player and private or public online worlds support both solo play and small-group cooperation.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game remains labeled Early Access more than a decade after launch, and the last official update found was April 9, 2020.
  • Public Steam tracking showed zero concurrent players around this review, so finding an active public world may be difficult.
  • Steam does not list controller support, and the developer describes the build as an unfinished alpha with possible serious bugs.
