I'll check this out. I like these kind of co op games.

I'm curious as to what exactly classifies this as survival. The screenshots make it look more like a defense game or an ARPG.

If it comes down to yet another hunger/thirst babysitting and crafting simulator, I'll be skipping this one.

The whole bar management type of survival is really just an excuse to mask the lack of content (or the same content copy pasted over a large world).

I think the concept sounds cool, but I'm not into the silly over the top kind of gameplay. I don't want an innkeeper that throws soup as a support character. Or a person wielding a spoon.
