Overall a game of exploration and survival, sprinkled with combat and wonderful landscapes. Play this game if: - You love insects/arachnids - You would enjoy exploring (including flying) as a tiny person in a huge map - You enjoy survival and crafting in games - You want a huge amount of freedom - You enjoy admiring pretty scenery Probably avoid this game if: - You love well-developed lore and storylines at the core of a game - You enjoy combat more than anything else - You’re arachnophobic - You have an adversion to killing bugs (it was difficult for me to get through the early game) Overall recommended, despite a little bit of jankiness in the gameplay.

Multiplayer didn't work for me and my wife on the same network. Tried for almost 2 hours to get it running and tried every "fix" we could find on the web. This is 2025 and DEFINITELY shouldn't be an issue with any modern game. Refunded. Sadly, because this game looks really cool!

Does a really poor job of on-boarding, and the first 30 minutes is just 'run here, talk to this guy, run there, read this.' Joining friends doesn't join friends. Mechanics aren't consistent, there's fall damage sometimes but not others. You spawn with half health. You can't respawn at guild buildings by default. I spent almost an hour just wasting time and being aware that it was a waste of my time. Bought at 60% off and still refunded. Play Grounded instead. That game is a masterclass for Merge how to do all this right.

The game is great and fun with friends or alone. Not many things to complain about, however the boss from mid to end are way to easy when you get better pets. I was hoping that the bosses would scale a bit better than it did. Other than that, it was a fun experience.

As a long time survival game player I must say it feels similar enough to other games to be easy to play quickly the grind is medium and the crafting requirements aren't too bad. Plenty of exploration to do with a good size world you can explore mainly your way with very little linear exploration fitting right into "open world". The premise I found amusing until i realized how dangerous a stink bug could be at the size of the player. Weather considerations are manageable without being ludicrous. Food requirements aren't too harsh and it feels like the game is developed for FUN rather than to punish the player, though there's plenty to keep you on your toes and weigh the risk v/s reward of trying something that might qualify as "not a good idea but...". At 62 hours I'm still going, exploring and having a good time with friends in the game world. I hope there will be an expansion in the future! I'd play it again if someone else i knew bought it and wanted to play.

All in all, a very positive experience. I would recommend people give this a shot. I love the concept, style and most of the mechanics. Having 100% finished the game, I can say that it still needs a lot of spit and polish (and I mean A LOT). The overall balance is way off, and end game content goes to waste when it is unlocked AT THE END OF THE GAME. That sense of achievement goes out the window when you realise that what you unlock has no use because the game is beaten at that stage. P.S. How can endgame equipment have worse stats then what I already have??? I used 5 armor sets in total and never contributed to a single faction… Regardless of all my negative points. The game was fun. I got excited and scared at some points and really immersed in the environment. P.P.S. Combat is janky as hell and honestly needs a complete rework. Why even have melee?

I always start a review with a summary of my "qualification" to do so. I play A LOT of survival/crafting games, and games in general. You name it, I have at least a few hours in it. I have between 55-60 hours of play for Smalland and I have done everything but beat the final boss. I view the game as a mix of several others. Grounded, in the aesthetic and feel of the world. Ark, in the ability to tame creatures. Valheim, in the limited lore, boss gated progression, and stamina/roll based combat. All great games to take inspiration from! I found it to be the right about of challenging! So much QoL baked into the game. Auto sort buttons and craft from containers. Movable main bases. Multiple means of travel. The progression feels amazing as you go from wielding a wood sword with leaves as an outfit to wielding bladed weapons and armor crafted from the carapace of your enemies while mounted on your mighty bird steed. I could go on and on, but I will include a simple breakdown below and just say, I loved the game and look forward to more content. ---{ Graphics }--- ☑ Beautiful ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Good ---{ Difficulty }--- ☑ Difficult ---{ Grind }--- ☑ Average grind level ---{ Story }--- ☑ Some lore ---{ Game Time }--- ☑ Average ---{ Price }--- ☑ Worth the price ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Minor bugs I give it a 9/10 overall. Suggested feature: Armor stands to display all the amazing armor. EDIT - THEY ADDED IT! THESE DEVS ARE GREAT!

You play as a little fairy person surviving against the oppressive reality of being two inches tall. I love the perspective of these types of games, I'm autistic about fairies, this was the game for me. Is it perfect? Nah, I say get it on sale if you like this stuff, though. P.S. if you're a beginner go find the stinger spear near the starting area. It'll make things much easier for you.

I would rate this game positive. They are still updating it, and it does need some improvements, but is quite enjoyable already. The more fantasy setting compared to similar games is also a positive for me. Some things needs to be updated because they are quite grindy like reputation with some NPCs in exchange for unlocks, the farming of the points to unlock everything would take way to much time, but you don't need it to complete and enjoy the game. Visually, really pleasing, good story.

Fun game, more so if you are into insects. Music is nice, can be calming when you're just farming around. I like the new addition where all trees connect from the top branches. Only thing is that online activity seems to be decaying as most servers are kind of empty, so it's hard to find a good server to play in.

Small land does what Grounded can't when it comes to the realism aspect of both games. A bit "buggy" at times but the crafting and combat are decent IMO. I like it but I haven't finished it yet. I like both games equally, but if a story is your main drive with some cut scenes, Grounded would be for you. If you like realism in your shrunken experience then Small Land is your game.

Love this! Once I got the hang of how everything works, it really became incredibly enjoyable. I did select the options to keep items upon death (gives you a way to fast travel) and to keep your companions from dying. All other settings I kept the same. This game leaves you curious and excited to explore. The creators did a fantastic job motivating you to grind so you can get better gear. Once you get wings and higher level companions, it's off to the races. Highly recommend anybody sticks with this game until they can get at least a gecko as a companion. Once you get a hornet companion, traveling becomes easier because you can ride it. I've put almost 50 hours into this one already, and I don't think I'm close to finishing. HIGHLY recommend!

We got this game when it first released, as we came off our Grounded hype, however we didn't play it due to the fact the reviews were negative, saying that there was a lot missing etc etc, Typical Early access stuff. Now it's mostly positive so we gave it a try! I'm highly impressed and recommend the game if you really like grounded etc. Cons: 1) The story is a bit confusing, theres no real guide on where to go/what to do. However you figure it out easy enough. 2) Spiders are a bit TOO realistic, that gives me the heebie jeebies and i'm not that much of an arachnophobe.. However they do have a setting to reduce realistic-ness which is very nice. EDIT: 3) Story was a bit too quick.. mega sad </3 I WANT MORE Pros: 1) Bases can be moved from biome to biome without having to destroy and rebuild, it literally just removes your base and puts it in the new area you want, allowing you to instantly teleport to it. BEST QUALITY OF LIFE CHOICE EVER!! 2) You can glide with multiple types of wings, one being BUTTERFLY WINGS (extra points for cuteness) And float down gentle, the animations of it is toptier and scratches that flying in games itch i've missed. 3) The base building is very detailed, allowing you to customise with different shapes and sizes. 4) YOU CAN TAME ALMOST EVERYTHING!!! BUTTERFLIES/BEES/ANTS ETC ETC.

A lot of fun! Animal companions offer a steeper power increase than what you get in Grounded Criticism: Trapping didnt seem worth it as opposed to just getting eggs and incubating. Food and armor really need additional mechanics to them, there is hardly any point to making fancy food and for armor its essentially just make whatever gives the most protection

The game is a good game, I love the setting and the weather effects. I just wish they were more obvious. Having it as a white out during a blizzard or having abit more intensity for the storm. The game difficulty does drop after you can tame hornest and wasps (full squad of those following you is just... )

This game has tons of character, some unique systems, and some QoL features that I hope influence some other games int he future. Really having fun with this game here, there are a ton of modifiable settings for the game world that can turn this into a casual experience for you or a survival simulator one. Personally, I appreciate the ability to have tamed creatures not be able to die permanently, but instead pass out and have to be revived in the stable. I find the worldtree system to be super unique and I really appreciate this mechanic, and the new taming mechanic that was recently implemented was also super fun. Combat is super fun, and once you get a hang of the parry and learn enemy moves, it become addicting! 10/10 would suggest this to anyone. Easily one of the most fun survival craft games ive played

Great game. The enemies are really cool and the combat is fun and fairly engaging. I havent gotten too far but at this point i love the environment and the perspective you get from being small. The building mechanics are pretty fluid and easy to use and makes building bases a joy compared to some other survival games in my experience. I absolutely would recommend this game!

If you enjoy games like Grounded, Enshrouded, Valheim, etc., you'll probably enjoy Smalland. The closest comparison is Grounded, but there are still distinct differences. I enjoyed the story in Grounded better and the overall combat as well, but I've still found Smalland to be interesting, engaging and really fun. Smalland looks great and has run very well on my GTX 1650 (it's crashed a couple times but that's maybe server side and I'm back in within a couple minutes). The menu's and UI comes with a learning curve (especially connecting to a friends server the first time). I've found the combat to be very melee heavy (which is fine with me). Using bows just feels clunky and inaccurate, and it would be nice if bows felt like a viable option. It's fun learning the parry window for various attacks and dodging is a valid combat skill as well. I wish you could lock onto a specific target, but the combat is still fun without it. I feel like resources are abundant once you know where to find them. One of the worst feelings in games like these is when you run out of a resource and it's a chore to get more, but in Smalland it feels easy enough to restock on any one resource without much trouble or grinding. Traversal around the map really opens up with wings. Soaring around the treetops is fun and being able to glide to the ground instead of plummet to your death is nice. I'd imagine the flying mounts are also great, but I haven't gotten to that point yet. Speaking of mounts, the bug/creature companions you can get, while fun, can turn the game into easy mode. When I play with my family and we all have 3 companions, the other bugs/creatures (even bosses) don't stand a chance. It causes for a chaotic fight when there are 3 characters and 9 companions all trying to swipe at a single bull ant. But the mounts/companions are an overall positive experience. Progression through the game (and various weapons/tool/armor tiers) has felt quick. My family/friends and I haven't hit any hurdles or road blocks where we feel we have to hunker down and grind out some levels or better equipment to get past. Our server settings certainly contribute to that (companions can't die and we keep inventory on death), but losing all inventory on death (except what is literally in your hands) was really rough during early game because we hadn't built up the gear to have backups or resources to craft more. The risk of dying and struggling to get back to your dropped items felt more frustrating than it did exciting, so we changed our settings. I prefer the system in Grounded where you'd drop your resources on death, but kept equipment like weapons, tools, and armor. Now that we have wings and decent companions, I feel I could function better with losing all items on death and companions dying (but it would still be nice to have the Grounded death equivalence of only dropping some items). Overall, I've really enjoyed Smalland and see myself putting a few dozen more hours into it. I'm hoping they keep supporting the game with updates and additional content.

Well the game still NEED many improvement (and as many corrections ^^'), but it is playable and enjoyable I'm mainly downvoting it because of French : the names of 1/3 of the insects are messed or just wrongs... Imagine you play a game, you have a tiger in front of you, but translators called it "Zebra" because it has stripes... it's almost that for some insects here in French, translators don't know insects and i don't blame them for that, they don't have to, it's not specially their job to be expert in entomology in every language, but in a game about insect, it's a problem that need to be fixed I opened a feedback thread about this problem; no response till now, but will change my vote when they'll fix translation https://steamcommunity.com/app/768200/discussions/0/603031150125977651/

This could have been great. However they've piggy-backed on the curtails of too many other's accomplishments, and did it halfheartedly so at that. Sadly, I should have put this down prior to the 2hour mark to assure a prompt refund. But alas, there are things in life - when time gets away from us. So, i'll eat this bullet. But not play this product. There are too many other titles out there to list, that are FAR superior to this one - in every way.

Dedicated servers are a mess. Ran Windows dedicated server installed through steamcmd normally, opened firewalls, port forwarded on router. Doesn't show up in the server browser. Logs don't show any errors on the server. Clients randomly can't find any servers. This is while on discord with said people and a super reliable enterprise fiber connection. Internet was fine the entire time. There are no direct connect to IP options to circumvent their bad server browser. Waited 20 mins to see if the servers on their end had a delay listing the server, nothing. Restarted all devices to make sure all firewall rules and port forwarding properly took. Didn't fix it. 2 hours into this game and we haven't loaded it yet. There's a lot of other settings based problems, like when you host a game locally instead of dedicated (because you have to, the dedicated server simply doesn't work well), it doesn't retain your settings on load. You have to check the "online" box, uncheck the "crossplay" box, and enter a password every single time you play. And you can't enable online play while in game, you have to exit and reload if you forgot any of these steps when a player wants to join your game. Little things like this become big things for the players that utilize this stuff. You really need to put good documentation in the dedicated server folder, and have the dedicated server send probes to ensure that it is actually online and able to pass traffic AND LOG ERRORS so that your community can help you find bugs and problems. Holy hell my guys. This is version 1.9.1?
