Review analysis summary (Reviewed Oct 21, 2026)

Punch trees, craft gear and survive each night as long as you can; this free survival roguelite scores 83.8 from 185,046 Steam reviews.

👍 Strengths

210 reviews call it fun and addictive, describing a quick loop of gathering, crafting and fighting that keeps pulling them back for one more run. 90 say it is best with friends, where the chaos and the deaths turn into shared laughs. Multiplayer ranks 75th of 642. Some also enjoy its goofy, simple look, and Pricing & Fairness ranks 222nd of 1399.

👎 Where it falls short

Gameplay comes up in 62% of analyzed reviews and ranks 981st of 1396. 73 reviews describe a harsh difficulty curve, with bosses and big enemies that kill in a few hits and spikes after the first days. 22 call the balance off, saying enemies scale too quickly from day to day and armor does too little. 20 wish the developer still supported it, noting it no longer gets updates or tweaks to the difficulty, and some miss a proper save feature. Tech & Support ranks 792nd of 1399, and Content Volume ranks 562nd of 1351.
