It is pricier than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 88 percent. Craft The World ($18.99, scores 77) outscores it, and so does Havendock ($19.99, scores 54). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
To be honest, it was pretty bad when it first came out and time has done it no favours. I just did one last push to get the achievements I was missing, and it was a miserable experience. There are several block building simulators to choose from that are just better than this in almost every way. My recommendation is to save your time and your money, and avoid this game altogether.
