There is a bit of saturation in survivals, at least this one is original in terms of islands and being able to fly. It is a matter of taste to which of them to put many hours, or a few to all of them. The game is totally recommendable

The game is interesting for the approach of the flying islands that you use as a base, but at this stage of development is completely in its infancy.
