The game enables you to destroy most of the environment, employing a complex physics engine, which calculates the durability of every object. One of the game's positive qualities is the wide variety of locations: we explore e.g. towns, forests, deserts, and mountains. It is praiseworthy that the players can enter every building they encounter.

All presented in an intuitive way, rendering online guides unnecessary. There is also the option of fixing and upgrading existing buildings. The gameplay is enriched with RPG features which enable you to develop your character’s skills.
