Early Access Review
100 hours and 239 in-game days already.

5 of our friends including me got the game for some kind of present from a friend to play this new game all together but only 2 of us ended up playing actively. Got the best gears in the game and killed all available 5 bosses. I didn't really like other survival craft games, but this game has been the best survival experience for me since Terraria. Punching little trees, mining all those coppers and tins from the Black forest, sailing to different continents to find swamp in order to get into those sunken crypts to mine iron scraps, filling up a cart with full silver ores and dragging them from the cold mountain peaks to the shores, fighting the goblin "Fuling"s and of course the mighty mosquitoes made this game one of my all time favorites. Everyday we found some cool facts about the games like how realistic the windmills work, how the clouds on the map move according to the wind, how the Mosquito trophy looked, how the game is so good and has so much content but only 1 GB and etc. There were lots of ways to abuse the game mechanics like teleporting ores using different servers and stuff but we decided not to use them and completed the game as how it should be done.

Here I will list my suggestions on the game:
-The bosses' difficulty seem to vary a lot like Bonemass(the 3rd one) is the hardest of all 5 bosses, and it got easier with the last 2(Moder and Yagluth). The fight mechanics for the latter 2 are very easy compared to the Elder and Bonemass so I think they should be tweaked a little bit.
-The PVP feature is not really useful unless you just go fight with your friends just for fun
-We all have better setups than the game recommends. However, there were some optimization problems for all of us. Hope this gets better in future patches.
-I know there is debug mode but it would be nice if there was a creative mode where it costs nothing to build and there is no raid on your village. The other day when I spent few in-game days to tame 2 wolves near the mountain biome and ran back to my home village with the 2 and started breeding. They bred and I had 4 wolves in the pen but there was a sudden raid of trolls on my village and killed 3 of them which I couldn't breed lone wolf to a pack I had to run back to mountain and spend few more in-game days.
-A trash/recycling system would be very helpful since my bank is starting to fill up with useless trophies of lower level mobs.

And it's only at early access, can't wait for future updates. Thanks to Iron Gate AB! <3
