    Took 10% battery in 10mins:) Looks really really good and plays well.

    I only struggle to hit animals with a weapon.

    It's set to private so your game-related posts won't show up in your non-gaming friends' timelines! :)

    The Fan Club has lots of Screenshots, Answers, Tips, Beta Group Members, and occasional visits by the developers. There's a VAST world out there. Go into it prepared.

    Here's an album with some screenshots:

    Is this a sandbox game? It kinda looks like Far Cry 3 with zombies after seeing a certain picture of it. Do you build your own shelter and do what you want day to day or is there a story that you have to follow?

    I played only 30 mins. I can already say this game is amazing. It's an iOS game I was waiting for and I actually didn't expect it.

    I'm kind of worried about the replayability of this game. I originally thought it was an endless survival game, but it appears to be an adventure game with a definite ending (correct me if I'm wrong). Can you build anything in this game? Is the ending definite, or do you continue playing afterwards? I'm slightly worried about the replayability.

    anyway, I'm not entirely sure what to expect from the game's description. So, is this sandbox like Minecraft or more like STALKER? I'll probably wait for a gameplay video, but I'd like to know asap, because if it's Minecrat clone, I'm so in. I just need to be quick with my 25€ budget for this week cause it's sick how many great games is out today.

    That's exactly what I'm thinking too. The replayability of it.

    There are 3 different modes You can choose after the tutorial is completed: exploration, adventure and survival. However i'm not sure if the survival mode is endless. I'm playing the adventure mode now but i'm still at the beginning so I can't say much yet.

    At the moment there's the singleplayer story mode that's over 40 hours long and has a definite ending. After you finish the story, you unlock multiplayer mode. You are not forced to end the story in a set time, you can spend as much time as you want doing stuff. We'll add endless mode soon.

    The difference between exploration, adventure and survival is mainly difficulty:
    • survival: you lose everything you have in your inventory you when you die. Tough monsters.
    • adventure: you lose the object you're holding in your hand when you die. Weaker monsters.
    • exploration: practically a god-mode. Monsters are the weakest and don't attack you. Use this mode to explore the world and discover recipes.

    I haven't played STALKER. Compared to Minecraft, well, first of all you don't bend the terrain to your will and it doesn't look like you build houses. You do build things like boxes and beds and so on (there are existing shacks and other structures that you can appropriate). Or in other words, it is a survival game, but with more focus on survival and less on crafting. You still do chop down trees, dig or crack rocks for resources, hunt animals, craft tools and weapons and hang gliders (apparently, according to the help), and so on.

    It's a sandbox in the sense that it doesn't seem to force you to complete the story. You uncover notes and such and there are certain goals than can obviously only done once, but you might as well take your time. After the tutorial, anyway, which is relatively short. You get like five achievements for basic tasks in it, but in the end it has you chop down a tree and kill a bunny and then you're on your own. Of course there are more achievements you can work toward (or wait until you accomplish them randomly). They seem like they're meant to be a guide on how to survive more than actual goals.

    I have to say this game looks absolutely beautiful on my iPhone 6. I look forward to playing it on my iPad as well. There is a button that says I can transfer my safe to the cloud that looks promising.

    I am also getting a FarCry vibe here. Bought this instantly, pricing seems ridiculous low.

    Purchased it just because it reminded me of STALKER. One of favourite gaming experiences ever.

    On 6+ it looks amazing thus far. There's is plenty to discover and from the map a very large Island to explore.

    If 40 hours is what it takes - for the price and no IAP it's fkn worth it if you enjoy survival games!
