Why you might like it

  • A genuinely open-world sandbox MMORPG built almost entirely by a single solo developer.
  • Full-loot PvP, clan-built villages and real-time tree/plant growth give it a distinctive sandbox survival identity.
  • Classless combat lets players define their playstyle entirely through weapon and equipment choice.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • Development has been slow for years and depends on the continued effort of one solo developer.
  • The game remains in paid closed Early Access, so access and population may be limited.
  • As with any full-loot PvP sandbox, expect a steep learning curve and real risk of losing gear.
