I'm buying this game.So funny story...
I made a "Monster Prism", which is basically a Pokeball to catch things.
I threw it at one of the Tutorial NPC's on the first island, and put them to good use.

Luckily you can reset your skills for 100k, a bit expensive but I hear it's easier to do if you sell high tier crops.
yeah i just moved to my 2nd island via teleporter. Gonna see if its worth making the gold or just pushing through

For those wondering how the "Pokemon" mechanics work, it's pretty much the same deal here.
Weaken the monster/animal first, then throw the Monster Prism at it.
There is a chance the monster/animal will break free, so you need to use another Monster Prism.
Eventually you'll catch it, and the Monster Prism will turn orange, meaning you can pick it up.
Summoning what you caught is as simple as equipping the Orange Monster Prism and throwing it.
Throwing an Orange Monster Prism into a small generator will cause the captured monster/animal to begin using the wheel to generate power (batteries).
However, I don't know if there is a way to recall the captured monster/animal, nor have I tried re-capturing it.
I also noticed there is a skill where you can tell your tamed monster/animal to attack.

So here is something interesting. I made a Breeding Facility!
You throw your captured monsters/animals into the Breeder, and it produces a result. You can seemingly breed any two living things.
I used two cows, and it produced another cow.
It gave me an idea so I put a Large Pot under the Breeder, so the cow falls into the pot.
This produces some food for me to take but it's rather devilish, lol.
I happened to have a Tutorial Man NPC in a Monster Prism and a spare Cow Monster Prism so I tried breeding them together, and it produced a Mono. xD

Thats a warp pipe.... So is this playable alone?

Yup! It has multiplayer as well.
The game went into EA on the 4th, so that means there will be bugs and lack of optimizations.
Still, I'm having some fun, but may stop here soon and wait for more content.

So are you having fun with it so far overall? Is the combat and hit reactions satisfying? How is basic exploration and are the environments varied enough or feel too mmo like/copy-paste? Sorry for all the questions just thinking of getting this for myself if there's enough to sink into already.
The grid of maps that you can unlock is 11x11 and features a few duplicate maps that are exactly the same but with higher enemy levels unfortunately.

Yeah, I'm having fun with it, I can definitely see the potential here. Just needs some refinement, bug fixes, and optimizations.
It is a survival game, so you need to eat food and craft equipment such as weapons, armor, and tools.
You start out on a small island, I'll call it Tutorial Island, since it teaches you what you need to know.
From there, you need to build a Teleportation Gate in order to unlock and access other islands with different materials and biomes.
Some islands are small, some islands are big, and some islands have all kinds of different biomes in one.
You might even see structures like bridges, camps, and encounter friendly NPC's.
As for combat and skills, combat feels pretty good but there is also plenty of room for improvement. The AI for some enemies is questionable.
There are TONS of skills, basic skills, combat skills, magic skills, life skills, and trick skills.
Each category having at least 5 different tiers, but I'd say about half of the skills aren't in game yet.
There are dungeons, but right now the dungeons feel a bit samey.
The dungeons I've been in have been rather small, with some enemies to fight, and a boss at the end.
Sometimes there are dungeons where you need to complete a certain task like reach the end before time runs out or solve a puzzle.
I haven't unlocked too many islands yet, but hopefully that's not that case when it leaves EA. x_x

read through reviews and the common theme between both positive and negative reviews is quite clear (and totally expected): a LOT of potential in the title, but you likely want to wait until it's a bit further down in release versions because right now there's a lot of missing/broken items and glitches.
So I have it in my wishlist and will wait to see how it keeps developing.

Yea, I only have 14 maps unlocked so far but 3 of them are dupes and one is a triple.
don't expect much. it's real fun to run around and explore. or waste time building a pretty base. or waste time building a crazy conveyor belt breeding facility loop into a cooking pot. or place generators (death treadmills) at every NPC's spawn point. or make a conveyor belt mining op and afk grind a billion ingots or

They've been putting out quite a lot of patch notes lately, so that's good to see.
I'm in the process of making an iron ore farm. I found two flat iron nodes on this island, so I built a long conveyer belt system that brings iron ore to my base and I built an automatic furnace that smelts them for me. Very handy!
On a side note, I put a tamed Merchant NPC into the livestock extractor, and it's producing milk.
Very suspicious indeed.

My survival game crew has been playing this on and off for the last couple of weeks. Super janky but a ton of fun.
Light sabers, hoverboards, auto cow burning farms in an obvious breath of the wild landscape. Has it all. Want to put together a merchant breeder for those big bucks.
