I don't know, for some reason I find the addition of guns to this type of game upsetting. But I also want to try it.... I don't know.

i played for about 3 hours, and afaik you don't have to make/use the guns. pals don't even have death animations they just get anime KO swirly eyes and you get whatever their drops are in your inventory, so you could even easily convince yourself youre just knocking them out like in Pokemon.

IMO the only reason not to buy it is the lack of depth beyond being a base-building survival game. I thought there would be some big story and grand questline, but nope. youre just dropped in the world and guided through base building and pal catching.

Oh that's dissapointing that there isn't a storyline. Huh.

There is a simple lore you can get from reading item descriptions and talking to the few peaceful humans you find, but otherwise no real story.

If you want a survival crafting game with story, keep your eyes open for Enshrouded or Nightingale.

I'm at the spear and bow stage and it barely feels like weapons. When you "kill" a pal, they just get X.X eyes and fall over. We'll see how it feels when the butchering starts.
