    Looks like more from the same. I cannot find anything standing out in the descriptions plus the "hovering characters" are also a great down for me. With Greek Mystery my brain connects journeys over the ocean to mystical places. This just looks like someone made a mod for conan exiles and took some gameplay elements away.
    Sorry...but no!

    I agree with what others are saying. This looked pretty awful, it's a bog-standard survival game as far as I'm reading. It just happens to have a greek/roman vibe going on with the theme? Cool, I guess. I'd never touch this though. Even the videos showcasing the game didn't do it any justice.
    I like to complain about games.

    The flying and hovering, complete with Superman knee bend, doesn't work for me. I cringe at the thought of trying to justify that within the lore and physics of the game. It didn't look that bad, except how the crafting workbench stands, like a previous poster mentions.

    Flying is at 0:23 - 0:24 and crafting bench at 1:00.

    yeah, it was looking great but the flying was a "WTF!" moment. The buildings look great. But with the flying I'm just going to have to go to my crying place. :s

    "Survival crafting games are a dime a dozen nowadays"

    Such games have less content so are cheaper to make, more like farthing a fifty.

    Wow this looks....not great. I'm really trying to see the positives here but they made quite a few "interesting" design choices.

    I have to ask. Are all these survival games using the same engine. They seem interchangeable.
