Why you might like it
- Built by John Smedley's team (EverQuest, PlanetSide, H1Z1) with genuine PlanetSide-scale ambitions — a massive open-world extraction shooter with base-building and faction warfare.
- Blockchain and NFT elements are entirely optional; Smedley has stated only a small fraction of players are expected to engage with the web3 marketplace at all.
- Free play weekends (like the one running through August 3, 2026) let you try the full game before committing to a purchase.
- A large, ambitious persistent map designed to eventually support over a thousand concurrent players in one space.
Things to consider
- Launched to negative Steam reviews and weak player counts, and those numbers have not substantially recovered since.
- The optional blockchain/NFT integration has drawn real backlash from players who don't want crypto elements in their games, even though it's opt-in.
- Still in early access with an evolving feature set — expect an incomplete experience rather than a fully polished game.
- As a new, unproven live-service title from an independent studio, its long-term support and player base are both uncertain.
- Direct comparisons to Smedley's earlier PlanetSide work set high expectations that reviewers say the current build hasn't yet met.
