IDK why this game isn't getting more love?! It's super fun, good weird, and runs well. I never comment on games, I think this is the first or second time, but I really want this to keep getting developed. So from an old gamer, this is a hidden gem you should really try!

The devs have impressed me with how quickly they respond to questions, and they have already implemented several suggestions from players. They've updated the game numerous times post release with quality of life improvements, and custom game modes. Don't like durability loss on weapons and armor, forcing you to repair your gear? You can reduce it, or turn it off completely in the custom game options. As for the …

Similar to Core Keeper, Tinkerlands, and Crashlands. Game has good bones, potential, and responsive devs. The good: Nice cartoonish aesthetic. Fluid and responsive controls and combat. The morphing to other creature modes is unique for this genre. Simple learning curve. Solid performance. The bad: Linear AF. Very cookie cutter. The banter/dialog/story is borderline autistic screamer. I do believe this game owes me a …

We sunk 6 hours into the demo during a Next Fest, and it was by far the standout for me. I couldn't wait for this release, and over the last few days it has consumed our free time. The style, charm, easter eggs & references to beloved classic anime, and overall vibe feel incomparable. Its nostalgic, bright, and most importantly just really, really fun. The NPCs are quirky and memorable, and the gameplay loop is …

Negative reviews are unwarranted Hunger system isn't that restrictive at all even well before my almost 6 hours I have more food than I know what to do with Beyond that, the game is a blast! Artstyle is amazing and the gameplay is great just as cozy as core keeper looking forward to new content especially the extraction elements that im glad are still being included!

Players who liked Wonderia talk about beautiful art style and visuals; those who didn't talk about hunger system is too restrictive. Which matters more to you?
Reactions
60 of 78 · most liked firstThe hunger makes this game so miserable. I'm playing with 2 others so maybe that makes starting out worse because you're feeding 3 people but my god, even waiting for my friend to join I had to eat the starter rations and i really didn't do much at all. Just get meat off monsters? The meat they don't drop very often ? By the time you find monsters to fight and get meat to drop, you'll be forced to eat it and the farming takes too long to be a reliable source of food. We like the game but it…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Once the game came out I was absolutely buzzing, because I enjoyed the demo so much and was excited for more content this game introduced. The game does feel a bit raw, you will come across some bugs, BUT the developers actively working on it, there are frequent updates, it's easy to reach out to them if you experience some sort of issues, and you can be sure they'll take a look, try and fix it. Also the balance with food has been fixed, the bandages were added to crafting, so it should be…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Okay, fast opinion - for now? NOT FOR ME :( Too much food consuption rate, too low resource drop, too many workstations, too many same "music" in background (that drilling my head...). Start game is very, very boring. It's the same problems as I reported after demo sessions - unfortunately :(
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was a little uncertain about this game when I bought it. I've played a couple other games that have reminded me of this game like Crashlands and Cryofall and wasnt super impressed with the lack of depth, but this game has everything i wish those games had had. I absolutely love the little animals around the map that you can get to follow you home with their favorite food. They are sooo cute too! The little pig shakes his bum at you! My favorite aggressive animal is the black bird that throws…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Haven’t gotten that far but play style reminds me of tinkerlands and necesse. The graphics are very nice! Fun game. Can’t wait to get more into it! Runs really well on steamdeck and Xbox controller.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game balance is awful atm, recommend to all survival crafter lover to wait for a bit more to grab this one. Suggestion to Dev ( if they happen to read ) - reduce the ingredient for repairing - reduce monster hp or increase weapon dmg - increase tool/weapon durability - let player to harvest crops with empty hand or give us a scythe or something to mass harvest that dont used up that much durability(current harvesting with copper hoe that use up so much durability) - reduce monster or implement…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm really enjoying this game. It's early access so obviously there is content missing and there are some typos and things like that, but the devs are pushing updates out frequently and tweaking balance issues. For what's here and for the price, I would recommend! I have not had any major bugs and I also really adore the art style. The combat can be difficult but it hasn't been a problem for me. It's a sandbox survival crafting game with a quest line which means you make your own way and do…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is fun and the visuals are beautiful. I really appreciate the character designs, the vivid colors, and overall atmosphere. I hope this game gains a lot of traction—I can tell a lot of love went into it. I look forward to seeing what the game has in store for the future. I see some reviews specifically about hunger, there are accessories and also food that increase the hunger bar so it doesn't deplete as fast. Gardening and cooking is essential in this game early on. Happy Gaming.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →No idea why this game isnt getting more love because its a great game already more finished then some other games that claim their fully finished cant wait to see what the devs do with this one. The art style delivers exactly what it says its a manga style comic and its beautifully done, has great controller support even in menus, never had the urge to touch a keyboard which I find rare in this type of game. The story, NPCs and game are weird in a good way I mean who wouldnt want birds…

positive · AI labelView post →Hey this game is kind of cool. Better than expected, having fun with it. Art style is great too. There is an overall sense of humor that this game does not take itself too seriously, and it works well. Also runs great, but with what it is, why wouldn't it?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Playing on steam deck and it's a thing of beauty. What a stunning game it's an absolute gem. I am really enjoying this game and highly recommend it. There's so much to do and it just looks really good. I can see a few hours being sunk into this.❤️👍🏻
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nicely paced development, good story line. Enjoying a lot so far
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Excellent performance, nice graphics, cute game and fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A really fun game. Playing with friends makes it even better. Highly recommend!! I wanted to write a proper review, but then I checked the time… it’s almost 3 AM. Guess it’s time to log off and get some sleep. GG Hopefully I don’t get in trouble at work tomorrow
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for a few hours solo, then a few hours of multiplayer and both have been fun. It's a nice, chill game especially if you like exploring and collecting stuff. Haven't had any issues with food or materials so far. Looking forward to what's to come for the game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So far this is a really fun game! It's very similar to Core Keeper, Terraria and others in the genre but with it's own little twist. I love the fact that it takes what makes these games so great and combines it with the collection of farming sims. Huge bonus for me! Some of the negative reviews complain about food degeneration and tools breaking too fast but I don't think this is any different from other games in the genre. I don't find it "worse" than others. This is a survival game, getting…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy playing the game but why am I always feel sleepy after 30 minutes of playing???
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very good game. The art style and gameplay is fantastic.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So let me start with, I came in after a supposed hot fix adjusting hunger. My hunger has not been a problem dealing with as a lot of people are say. My only problem with this game, are the length of the days. In 6 hours in already on like day 30, and the night and day cycle kind of has an impact on the environment. A variety of harder monsters lurk in the shadows of the night, and the short time cycle gives you no real time to plan for these harder fights. Other than that, incredible game. I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In a world full of shallow, garbage games priced at $69.99, you occasionally find a solid and entertaining gem like Wonderia for 14 bucks. I've gotten 40+ hours out of it, and I still haven't completed it. Highly recommended.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a new hope to people who have played all other farm sims honestly. This feels exactly like the best part of core keeper with the best part of dont starve.... very dynamic but not so punishing, its cool to farm, cool to fight, cool to explore, just started but already feel I could spend decades in this .. the unique vibe of the world is the cherry on the top, feels perfect imho

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →love the game def can get lost playing for hours the devs have something amazing here.i cant wait to see whats next for this fun game...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Firstly, S+ for the devs listening to feedback in their discord and making precise changes directly related to the feedback in the game less than 12 hours from release! They really want to improve the game and are really on top of it! Also they don't take any feedback in a negative way and use it the best way! Aside from that, the game is amazing, I absolutely love the art. I have been waiting for this game to come out since i added it to my wishlist in 2024. I'm always fascinated by these…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GREAT GAME SO MUCH FUN
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoy this game a lot so far. Even the absurd amount of dialogue. I am just really hoping for solo player friendly stuff like automation of resource gathering and production. The aesthetic and character personalities are great, and I see the potential in this game. There is a huge nostalgia to the old school style RPG dialogue, that I miss and glad they incorporated into this game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So much fun! Absolutely love the style, it's so uniqe and also love the gameplay. Looking forward for what's to come.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Note: Developers have been frequently updating based on feedback, great start! I really like this so far, the art style is unique and cute. I haven't played a ton yet but right off I notice how bright the title screen is, its jarring. Please consider reducing the white. Also keep adding custom game settings/sliders as you have been, thanks!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am LOVING this game, I jumped into it expecting to just stream 3 hours then switch games but 12 hours later we realized its totally addicting and we were still having a blast. There is so much to do and nothing is forced or rushed so play your way and at your own pace. Also FINALLY A game that doesn't do a 4 person cap on co-op so our entire crew can play this one together which is always more exciting for shenanigans. I get so many nostalgic vibes from many different games all formed into…

positive · AI labelView post →Got this one last week because i play more survival/crafting games that i can count and love them, particularly with 2d sprite art. This one stood out because of its art style and the fact you can turn into various animals or monsters. Honestly didn't expect much, but i took the chance since it's a great price. over 20 hours into this and the game feels like its starting to open up. This game has a.. not slow, but very steady head start where i needed to put in work and really grind to get the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →great game cant wait to see what else comes
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute fun game, seems like a lot of content, looking forward to playing more! :3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Beautiful artwork, cool references to other games and anime. It just can be a little overwhelming at start due to the sheer amout of things to do, which in turn end up making the end game kinda boring because by the time you craft advanced equipment you kinda explored almost everything already. Still it is a nice game for its price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The graphics caught my eye so thought I'd give it a shot. You can custom difficulty somewhat but the fighting is horrible and have died countless times so wish there was option to turn fighting off. Besides the fighting, its a pretty chill survival game so I plan on sinking more hours into it. Very enjoyable.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i really like it it has a lot of potential for expansion a few tweaks are needed as it feels to souls like and more healing items are needed but do far im enjoying it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →6 hours in i had the review page up ready to post a non reccomendation, ngl. Decided to give it another try ended up loosing track of time. Its a decent surivival with unique monsters with the ability to collect transformations to to fight, solve puzzles and travel across the map. build bridges to cross water, sail with makeshift boats, create a train system to zip through or fast travel and one of the many fast travel locations. i have very few issues with the game but they are as minor as…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game!! It's in early access and has really good content. My girlfriend and I played it for +30 hours, just as promised, and it's very well-polished! I highly recommend it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game!! Almost everything is amazing, my only two complaints are that in order to craft from chests they have to be touching your workbenches, and i wanna be able to farm and not have to replant every time. But other then that great game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really enjoying the game so far! Glitched out so I had to un-install and re-install for a few days each time I wanted to play but this was before the first patch. That technical issue aside: I enjoy the cooking and like that it is much more important :D Later on hunger is no big deal with gear drops which feels rewarding. Build farm, make farm big, build bigger farm...more farm...Did I mention that you will want a farm? With minerals, Early game can feel grindy but after a bit it's fast…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Edit: I have now come across some bugs. When falling into critical health, the game forgets that you have the spring or roll ability. Not sure why. The woman from the TV appears on a boat in the desert. For some reason she lags the players game in both multiplayer and single player. Once killed, this resolves. I have decided to change my review to positive. I will leave the previous one below so the Dev's response makes sense to others as transparency is best. I appreciate the Dev's response…

positive · AI labelView post →Kirby Star Crossed World is kind of mid I'm sorry to report. Tough the flaws kind of balance eachother; the levels feel way too long, and there's too few levels. I think I'm getting "value" out of it but not enjoying it as much as the base game. Though it doesn't have as low a low fuck Wonderia
neutral · AI labelView post →I absolutely love this game! I have never cared about reading the dialogue in a game before, I normally just skip through it so i can keep playing but i am fully invested lol. I don't think there's anything i dislike or even find irritating about this game. My biggest gripe is that sometimes how do to something isn't apparent & because of the newness of the game, it's hard to find an answer anywhere but that's not a bad thing. I hope i have many more hours left in the game!!!

Food is totally manageable (several ingredients for cooking and food drops in the world), the night is scary, dungeons are really fun and combat is exciting! The cartoon style is adorable and funny! I hope it grows with more NPCs and biomes, and maybe a better selection of background music! I didn't even realize this was in early access lol definitely recommend if you love survival, item collection,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The grind seems overwhelming at first, but once you settle in the game is fun! There is a lot to do.. when I get frustrated from fighting enemies I fall back into an animal crossing styled gameplay pace, decorate my town, talk to villagers, fish, and farm. Once I tire of that I explore, fight mobs, solve puzzles.. there is a lot to do which is overwhelming, but at 20+ hours I feel settled into the gameplay loop.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It seems very simple at first, but it grows on you - think Stardew Valley meets Necesse (or something similar), in a sci-fi setting. It isn't perfect, and it may be a bit laid back for some, but it is fun with an interesting story. Outside of some issues with the written dialog, I haven't come across any issues or bugs so far. Also, for an EA game, they've done a decent job of implementing controller support - the default isn't my favorite, but I've seen a LOT worse in other EA games.
