✓ Fits the third-person Action RPGs cluster, with deep RPG systems, adventure storytelling and deep simulation

≠ Stands apart with third-person shooting, turn-based strategy and PvP competition, while skipping action RPG combat

A free-to-play open-world survival shooter: gather, build a base, and fight creatures spawned by an alien substance, solo or in co-op. The setting is genuinely eerie and the building is deep. Long-term players' complaints are consistent and are about the economy rather than the world — the cash shop drives progression, and seasonal patches have repeatedly reset or devalued what established players had already built.

Where it drifts furthest from Myth of Empires: progression.
