The verdict
A cheap, janky S.T.A.L.K.E.R./DayZ-style survival game with real atmosphere, but it's abandoned, nearly empty online and buggy. Skip it if you want live multiplayer or polish.
Great for
Stalker/DayZ fans wanting a very cheap atmospheric survival game to play solo or with a friend
Main risk
Abandoned game with almost no players, so it feels empty, buggy and repetitive fast
What players love
Faction and quest RPG systems
