What makes the game special is that offers up exploration, sailing, crafting, building, and light survival elements, all the while being perfect for players of all ages. On their own fully customizable ship, players will traverse six distinct regions, each filled with unique fauna, flora, and random encounters that keep the adventure fresh and exciting. Ylands empowers players to make use of thousands of items to craft and build with, progressing through a comprehensive tech tree that adds depth and variety to the gameplay. The game gently onboards players by recruiting them to the Classy Adventurers Guild, where they embark on an incredible journey, armed with their trusty handbook, and sail towards endless adventures.
The Switch release will also be the only version to include offline play, after the first load that is, the other versions require a constant internet connection to work. In addition to that, there are no pay-to-progress mechanics, less of a need to grind in order to accumulate resources and no monetisation pushes. All future content will also be free for the game, making this the best way to enjoy it.
The game is out now on PC and mobile devices, but Switch owners will need to wait until June 20 to pick it up, you can access the eShop page here.
