This game definitely has potential, but it's a bit shallow. There's a ton to do but not much point in doing it. Combat isn't particularly engaging. Ambient enemies can't damage your base or wander from their spawns unless aggro'd. You can run past 90% of mobs without any sort of downside. The Shroud is a neat idea but it doesn't move or present a threat beyond a pretty generous timer that kills you when it hits zero. The NPCs you can save are literally just crafting stations.

The question is, if you can just sit there and exist without anything actually coming after you, is it really a survival game?
