What we like:

Player-created maps provide infinite possibilities for customization and exploration
Simple and easy to master gameplay
Good graphics and soundtrack
Mobile version available
Official Discord server for socializing with other players

What could be improved:

Monetization system is greedy and paygates content
Daily rewards and quests are insufficient for progression
Account level system limits access to higher level content
Grinding to obtain gear and monsters for map creation is extensive and RNG-based
Poorly constructed maps may hinder gameplay experience
