Why you might like it

  • A medieval-fantasy sandbox MMO built around player-driven building, crafting, and land ownership rather than combat-focused progression.
  • A one-time purchase (currently around $14.99-$29.99) rather than a subscription, with no mandatory recurring cost to keep playing.
  • Full crafting-station and plot-based housing systems give strong support for players who enjoy economy- and construction-focused MMOs.
  • Continues to receive updates during its ongoing early access period.
  • A cooperative structure lets guilds build and defend shared settlements together.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Player counts have fallen sharply since launch — from a peak of over 11,000 concurrent Steam players in mid-2024 to roughly a few hundred to low thousands by mid-2026.
  • Still in early access with a Mixed Steam review rating (around 57% positive), reflecting an unfinished, still-evolving feature set.
  • Combat and PvE content are comparatively thin next to the building and crafting systems, which may disappoint players wanting traditional MMO progression.
  • The developer has cut the price significantly since launch, a signal of softening demand.
  • As with many early-access sandbox MMOs, long-term population sustainability and full 1.0 scope remain uncertain.
