The building mechanics are pretty bare. And the monster pathfinding/automation could use work.

Otherwise, it's enjoyable.

I’d say too frustrating. And the zelda / pokemon clone fun only gets you so far.

It's really good, they got rid of the tediousness that usually comes from survival games by letting pals take care of the repetitive tasks for you.

It also has some really fun and dumb ideas.

Yeah, I'm like 18 hours in. Adjust the settings before you go in to make it be the Zelda/Pokemon/COD clone you prefer and have fun exploring and letting fake pokemon do your work for you. Interesting bits of mysterious storyline so far too.

Most fun I’ve had in possibly decades
