How does this compare to other survival rpg's?

Looking at a survival rpg and this, medieval dynasty, mist, raft, green hell and others seem to look quite good

I'm wondering how this compares and if people on this forum have experience in this genre and can recommend the top picks I'd be grateful :)

Dinkum is a life sim, not a Survival ARPG.

While you are welcome to compare anything you want, I wouldn't compare Dinkum to any of these.

This isn't really a survival rpg. It's more like Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley than anything else that you've listed.

Speaking strictly from personal experience, Raft was probably the most fun and the most frustrating out of everything on that list.

I'd rate Dinkum right after that, with it being more relaxed and casual. In Raft if you're not constant running around and struggling, you're starving to death and losing your ship to the shark. In Dinkum if you just chill for a day, nothing bad happens.

After that, I'd place Medieval Dynasty third. Fun game but it puts a large emphasis on combat and building without really providing a good combat or building experience. You can make those things work, but the UI for it is terrible and the controls either are non-existent or you have to fight against them to make them work.

Thank you, that's really helpful :)

What is it about the Survival RPG genre and the games you listed that looks good to you?

It's quite clear that Dinkum doesn't fall squarely within the Survival RPG genre, but I suspect it still may provide a potentially enjoyable gameplay experience for you depending on how you respond to my first question.

There are some really great videos and Let's Plays available if you want to just get a better feel for the flavor of the game.
