But it certainly was a wildly mismanaged project that's tantamount to scamming because they didn't give virtually anything they promised. If you didn't follow development from announcement to initial release, I'm sure it just seemed like a fun game to play. But it wasn't the sweeping epic it promised to be. It's clunky and way worse than Terraria and the planets are mostly dull and have little to do underground, but it was still fun to mess around in for 20 hours. Objectively speaking, it's not an awful game. It also released about 6 years after they originally said it would. So many of the features, like the starbases with the growing populations, the seamless spaceflight and combat, planetside landing, deep storylines and complex riddles, etc were all just canned and the money kept.

It also lied in its funding campaign, made tons of promises and guarantees that were mostly unfulfilled. As a game that was supposed to be a successor to Terraria, it failed on almost every level.
