Rising World is fun and has hundreds of features. It keeps your attention and there definitely is no shortage of things to do. This game is worth every single cent. I would highly recommend it.

I don't know why keep this game in Early access, it feels like you could viably take it out and if you still need to add more content that'd just be more PR.

Been playing this on and off for quite a few years, This is one of those games that could do with out the early access mark, Even if it does fel unfinished, it gets updates periodically, big ones, and theres enough gameplay here to keep you invested all the way through to its end game tech but there is more that needs to be added.

Below is a list of notes on a number of things i hope they improve, its not to influence you on buying this game.



Food feels super abundant, water is nearly infinite if you just drink from a barrel rather than your bottle, there seems to be a food expiry mechanic but the strong foods can't expire, and the other foods have lasted so long im started to want a crate per item type. And i've yet to do farming or fishing. i just have infinite food.

Weapons and combat is really bland, Blocking and heavy attacks are worse than just attacking normally, Stunlocking most enemies is super easy and anything you can't stunlock can't hit you anyway. Heavy attacks deal maybe the same as a normal attack but slower? Spamming attacks kills most things easily.


Clothing/Armors: First of all, there should be a slot UI for this stuff, clothing needs to be smaller (because they all look like homers moo moo), and better descriptions of what can and can't be worn together. Some clothing hinders the player, but similiar clothing doesnt, like the Cotte and the gown, and the gown is the same as some shirts anyway. The fur coat and High Tech armor both felt bad to wear, the Fur coat did mostly nothing for me in the arctic biome, and the HT armor felt bad outside of the arctic, and useless in arid. I suppose winter helps, and i guess that balances out being god moded and have almost limitless stamina. I wish i could wear it and flippers though, Hell i wish i could wear the leather armor on top of shirts, and there needs to be leg armors and gloves. More pants in general. *give us a UI though thats more important than making clothes look better*


Biomes/islands: I didn't have much game time under my belt, i always start a few hours of a run and get bored, but this time the games kept my attention, i think they used to have a more "Pangea" style where there was a melting pot of biomes, i could be wrong. Having islands is neat but they need more. I really didn't stick around in these biomes long, I literally went to each simply to grab what i felt was enough of their resource and dip.

The Arid biome was the funner of the two, there was a lot of bandits even if i couldn't find where they lived, I went here first to get gold and i also got infinite yarn and leather, i think i came back with about 600 yarn and 100 leather, and like 170 gold ore, which ended up being enough for the rest of my run. maybe i didn't explore enough to find them, but i wish this place had a sprawling desert castle or some big imposing ruin to explore, both preferably, but what im most mad about is the Tee Pees you can find being non-aquireable, I wanted to add them to my bandit camp but they broke :(

The Arctic Biome was a biome for sure, I got infinite wood from here, the ice fields sometimes have treasure boxes in the ice piles, not much to say, If there were bandits i found none and i couldn't stay there long anyway, i did manage to come back with 600 aluminum and 400 wood, and i used pretty much all my alum when i got back making all the modern techs.

The Main biome is the best designed biome, which makes sense, i think its their main area so of course this ones the best balanced, good amount of wood, wool, water and food, as well as where i got nigh infinite iron i couldn't really do a lot with.

Hell Biome: Seems to just exist, its so hot you can't wear any clothing thanks to insulation stats, and i could go through about a water bottle a minute. Neither of the two enemies i saw could be looted, there is nothing to mine here other than hell stone, I wish ice building blocks had a cooling effect, or insulation worked differently so it would provide protection from cold and hot, but even if it did i doubt theres anything in the hell layer anyway.

Theres a number of things i wish i could or knew how to make, like the crude tents found in bandit camps, banners, the bandit camp standing torches, bandit leather armor, etc.

Hidden Gem!!! Map generation could be updated and polished a lot more, but its playable. Game is a lot of fun. Worth the price. esp with friends.
