The value story
The value story
63 discounts in the 8 years on record, a median of 67 percent off across all of them, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 3 weeks ago.
It is pricier than 97 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 98 percent. Piratopia (free, scores 54) outscores it, and so does Salt ($14.99, scores 33). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

What players say
Like many have written Snail Games are grifters and just try to do quick cash grabs. Not only did they abandoned this game in a buggy state (most, if not all of their games are massively bug infested), now they choose to skip actually fixing the game and just redo it as a mod for latest version of ARK. This way they can charge for it again and do another cash grap. Are they not nice at snail games?
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
Not at full price. I was originally going to leave a longer review, but I opted for a quicker read. The short version is, as stated in other reviews, the developers have abandoned this game in Early Access (meaning no more updates) and shut down the official servers. This game lives on through player hosted servers and mods. With that being the case, my stance on it is simple: Do NOT pay full price on this game...
Still better than Ark even though it was tossed into the wind to never be updated again.
