Brings what grabs you about PixArk: building and crafting, a sandbox with your own goals as well as an open world.

Captured Pals fight beside you, carry you across the islands or toil away in your factory while you explore an open world armed with guns. Its cheeky, slightly macabre humor gives the whole thing a flavor of its own.
