The verdict
A janky but fun water-world survival and base-building game, best with friends. Skip it if you want a polished game or fear bugs, lost saves and slow updates.
Great for
Co-op groups who enjoy base building, island raiding and chill survival crafting, ideally bought on sale
Main risk
Bugs, lost saves or characters, and slow, abandoned-feeling Early Access development
What changed in the last 30 days
40 recent reviews
Recent negatives mention crashing on load, broken first-loot interaction, shoot-through-wall enemies and poor performance. Evidence is thin, so we're only moderately sure.
