Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“This is 100% Rust in a sci-fi theme. Currently only 1 server to play on, and It even has the same toxic player base. You see groups of 2-4 people that run around killing everyone they see and offline raid. Try to gather resources and hope…”
“If they get more servers so people have a chance to get started it might be a decent game. But the over powered players on here , you do not have a chance to get started. Not worth playing till they can extend the servers. took me 3 hours…”
