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.
Before you play

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.
