Len's Island

Can't wait for this game to be out and play with my friends. It's atcually a very good game and it has been improving since the day I bought it. Good job devs! Note:I'll edit the review after 1.0 and make a detailed review about this game.

This is a wonderful game for people who have played a lot of fast paced games and want a bit of a relaxing feel. You can play it on hard mode but the normal mode is just a peaceful survival game.

removed things like controller support which it was sold as having only to take it out for 1.0 (dev has replied basically it's still there but they feel it was so lacking they couldn't put it no the product page. it was fine to sell me the game like that, but now they are walking back on their promises, but hey they did take that time and add sharks to the game. shark are a much more important feature to Len's Island than accessibility options they sold to disabled gamers on a lie so they could get the money to even finish the game.)

This is a very peaceful survival-crafter. The combat is not crazy but I also don't play on the higher difficulty. If you love building homes like me, this is a great entry. The overhead view brings back a lot of nostalgia for games like Runescape. Early Access has been rewarding, and I cannot wait to explore more in 1.0!

Great game with lots of content. Beautiful cute graphics and performs well. Many customizable options. But my main reason the this review is I appreciate the developers are constantly updating ands staying active with the community. They listen to requests and keep making improvements and updated content which is more then I could say for some developers out there. Definitely worth every penny! Highly recommend.

I'm a beginner player, usually prefer controller games, but this one is easy and straight foward. I have mostly played on peaceful mode for relaxation, but the normal one isn't too hard, enough for me not to drop out, and that says something! One can progress on the game with relativity ease, the missions are complex (meaning you have to do 5 to 10 things to be able to complete one) but doable. Looking foward to the multiplayer version to play with my husband and friends.

Great game, really enjoy playing it. Grind so far hasn't been huge. (I'm not a fan of constant grinding) My only request would be to change the camera style. I hate not being able to look up. You can zoom out which is good but it rather be able to look all around. I would recommend this game for sure!

This game so underated... The combat are satisfying, game like stardew valley or harvest moon but they laking npc interaction thou

Good game, bit of an anti climactic ending though! Some bugs and most frustratingly, although I have 100% the game Skilled Achievement has completely bugged out so cant have it officially 100% :(

It's a pretty fun game. There is enjoyable melee fighting. Progress is easy, but not too easy. I hope they add more updates or DLC in the future. Note: Each building has the recipes collapsed; simply click the arrow, and you will see all mixes.

This game is one of the best cozy survival game I've played. It has the coziness in a right amount and not neglecting the action part of the game. The visual is great, I really like how everything look in here. The islands look beautiful, the caves also awesome, and it's easy to distinct which is which. The gameplay is the best part. You can be a full fledged explorer and running dungeons after dungeons, or just lay back in your home while tending to your farm. The features are awesome, the fishing, the sailing, even the black jack is awesome. And one more thing, the world is randomized for each run which means you will have different experience every time you play a new one. Highly recommended for those who loves some survival sandbox game.

I've been playing this game on my fiancee's recommendation. So far we've had a lot fun going through the game together.

I am not really sure what to write as I haven't finished the game yet but I do love the building and farming aspect of this game. I really only started playing it when I first went over to Australia for work and stayed with my best mate and he had this game on his PC. I really enjoyed it as it was relaxing after a long week of work. The music, the gameplay, the simplicity of it was relaxing. Now I got it on my own PC, and back then I and my friend thought it would be awesome if this had Co-op implemented, well guess what, we will be having it soon. CHEERS Developer Julian and Flow Studio for creating one of the best Indie games around. I really appreciate the hard work, effort and time you all have put in to make us gamers happy and relaxed. I look forward to continually support you all and thanks to the community, still love you guys' builds.

Really enjoyed playing this game specially the building feature when I bought it last 2022. Lets go v1.0!

Fantastic atmosphere, congrats on getting this far with 1.0. Can’t wait to play multiplayer

Honestly I love this game! I will say I thought I did a review on this before. With the new updates from when I originally first played this, its crazy how much has changed. I like how you can move the camera now and finally pets were added!! I do wish they'd add magic if possible, maybe it could be because or the shadow orbs and light shards mutate you to be able to use it? Also auto turrets for a base/house building item would be fun as well if possible. Waiting on the Gothic DLC to get back into this.

Been following the game for a while now and I'm really liking the way things are going. Hopefully the dev team stays strong with this one.

Len's Island is the perfect blend of farming, combat, building, resource extraction, exploration, tower defense, and fishing. It doesn't only focus on just one or two mechanics, which I like because if you tire of mining ores down in the caves, you can just head back up to the surface to farm some more crops or explore an unknown island. I enjoy every aspect of the game (except fishing, but I'm just not a big fan of fishing in games). The stylized graphics are stellar, and the music is an fantastic relaxing vibe. The entire combat and mining system is built on a crit system so if you attack when the crit marker is active you can chain hits and have a damage bonus. This just makes getting resources much more interesting than just holding down a button. The underground is split into the caves (less enemies and treasure, but more resources) and the dungeons (more enemies and treasure, but less resources). Combat is simple yet extremely satisfying; slashing down swarms of enemies that vanish in a blast of void energy. The game has three set game difficulties and a custom difficulty editor, so you can fine tune the difficulty to whatever you want. While Len's Island is one of my top favorite survival games, the only thing I really have a complaint about (besides fishing, which I do think they implemented well BTW) is the tower defense aspect in the game; where enemies will attack either your base or certain structures, and you have to build defenses and fight them off. This isn't a bad thing, and I do enjoy it, but the whole system just feels kind of awkward as you can't really see the enemies and if they destroy, let's say a wall, it is a pain to replace it, as you have to open the build menu and rebuild it. You can repair damaged structures before they get destroyed using the repair hammer, which is nice. If you like games that blend chill and action, survival games with beautiful environments, or just plain survival games: I would 100% recommend Len's Island.

My therapist says I need to leave the island more often, but my crops won't harvest themselves! Absolutely delightful and surprisingly brutal. Go play it!

This game has a chokehold on me. I have been playing pretty much since early access released and it just keeps getting better. The devs also really listen to the feedback of the community and that is huge! Absolutely so fun and amazing.

Great game, crafted by a passionate dev who communicates with the audience. Looking forward to the 1.0 release so I can jump back in!

Unexpectedly good, combat/dungeoning is very fund. reminiscent of classic RPGs. Desperately needs better controller support.

Have been playing Len's Island since it was first available to play, Highly recommend this game,

Fun and relaxing games that has continued to grow and improve from community feedback. Looking forward to the full release.

[h2] This Game Has Received More Love Than a Golden Retriever at a Kids’ Party [/h2] About four or five years ago, when I played Len’s Island for the first time, it had just one town and one dungeon. Since then, I’ve been watching it evolve from a part-time, almost hobby-like project into a lovingly crafted indie release. I think everybody can get a good grasp of the game just from the screenshots, so I’ll just add some points beyond that. [b] - Outside of visiting dungeons, the game can be played "at your own pace" at all times. There is never a feeling of a "timer running." Even the day and night cycle doesn’t interfere with your gameplay in any annoying way. [/b] [b] - Every game mechanic that proved unenjoyable or even mildly annoying has been improved and polished over the years through close communication with the Discord community. [/b] [b] - The crafting progression is easy to follow and always gives you enough tasks to work on, without being overwhelming. [/b] [b] - Movement and combat are "easy to learn, tough to master." WASD + mouse feels very intuitive, and controller support was also added during development. [/b] [b] - Len’s Island allows you to progress however you wish. [/b] You can start by just building, farming, and selling in peace for weeks or even months to make money a non-issue before taking on any islands, giving you an easier time over the course of the game. Or you can choose to take on tougher challenges early and focus more on improving your combat and movement skills. I’m now at 457 hours — with more to come — on a game that cost me 20 bucks in early access. I couldn’t have asked for more. For me, this game is a masterpiece. May you all enjoy it as I did.

Simply the best Survival Craft i've ever played. Very sensible blend of survival craft, life sim, dungeon crawler and RPG. Looking forward to 1.0

Fun game, I'm looking forward to multiplayer

The camera zoom and up-down rotation limits are extremely annoying and really make navigation when on water terrible since you can't really see where you're going. Uninstalled, and the useless camera is the entire reason I declare this game unplayable. Edit: Someone put up a mod on NexusMods to fix the camera issue, but since it does require a 3rd party fix I'm leaving this as a negative review.

any game that requires you to put raw hide in a campfire to make tanned hide without pointing that out to you loses me. Im baffled why I spent so much time reading different online guides to find that... I play a ton of survival games like this and this is the first one that had me do this.... Most of the time you have some sort of rack... Absolutely stupid that I wasted all that time.

This is probably my favorite game to date and that is saying a lot as I started with pong and the very first atari. If you love this sort of game, this will certainly be worth every dime and moment you spend on it. I just wish they would have released 1.0 on fathers day... waiting 4 extra days is torture.

My Honest Journey with Lens Island – From a Cracked Copy to a Loyal Supporter I first discovered Lens Island back in 2021 or 2022—I can’t quite remember the exact year. At the time, I’ll admit, I played a cracked version of the game. I’d like to take this opportunity to sincerely apologize to the developers for that. It was wrong, and I truly regret it. Later, in 2023, I got the chance to experience the game again using a friend's Steam account. And finally, in 2025, I purchased it properly on my own account. It feels good to officially support a game I admire. Throughout these years, what has amazed me the most is the incredible progress the game has made. The updates have been consistent and meaningful, with visuals that continue to impress—especially considering it runs smoothly on mid-range laptops like mine. Not every game delivers that level of optimization and beauty at the same time. Due to my job at the time, I used to move around a lot, and I couldn’t dedicate much time to gaming. But now in 2025, I finally have the chance to truly dive into Lens Island and enjoy everything it has to offer. One of the most exciting things for me is the upcoming multiplayer mode. I believe this will bring a whole new layer of fun and attract even more players to the game. That said, I hope the developers can continue to balance the experience for solo players like myself—especially during dungeon runs and battle missions. It can be quite challenging doing it alone, while multiplayer teams can strategize and cooperate more easily. This review comes from a personal place, shaped by my own experience. Thank you to the developers for your passion, your transparency, and your commitment to improving the game. I look forward to the future of Lens Island and everything it has in store. Wishing you all continued success!

This is a very cozy game. I like that there's a progression system to keep me motivated, but I never feel like I'm forced to do things. The gameplay feels balanced, and I enjoy the way coop has been implemented. Edit post 1.0 release - I remember starting Len's Island for the first time 2 years ago and thinking how Impressive it was already - it was visually great, the gameplay was already really good. It didn't feel janky like many other early access games I'd played, instead it felt smooth and polished. The Len's Island team have grown the game so much, kept the quality consistently high, and been so communicative with the community. The 1.0 release dropping in fully functional multiplayer that plays really well and offers a seamless play experience is really impressive. Even though we have steam family sharing, I got copies for two more of my family members because the multiplayer is so fun. This game is great value for money.

I'm so excited for the 1.0. I played this game a couple years ago and enjoyed it a lot and now theres going to be so much more to enjoy. I played it on steam deck which worked great for a while but ended up not working well after an update. Hopefully 1.0 fixes that too. The music is top notch, it really sets the mood. Looking forward to playing multiplayer with my friends.

Very nice and chill game. It's one of those games that lets you take your time and not rush anything. Feel free to just build a base for a while or go out and kill stuff. It received some nice QOL updates during early access that make me want to replay. I'm a big fan of the base building parts too. They are visually appealing and inspire me to build something nice with them that is more than just a box. and also: heck yeah, a pet tiger!

Len's Island has been an absolute joy. It's easy to pick up, peaceful mode is perfect for relaxing, and the normal mode has just the right challenge without being overwhelming. The quests are layered but doable, and progression feels super satisfying. Can’t wait for the multiplayer update to play with friends!

pretty good game, have been playing since the town was across a bridge through a loading screen. Also have been a beta tester through there discord

At first, I didn't think much of it, but after playing for about 1-2 hours and starting to grasp the core of the game—what to do, how to build, what the conditions were—I got so immersed I played almost until morning. Even though there was a bug where my character would float above the house, I just had to make them roll and they'd go back to normal.

Do you like to be cozy while you mine and craft and fight off hordes of shadow beasts? Sure, we all do. Farm, harvest resources, build!, fish, explore - standard survival crafting fare. Len's Island really shines in its art direction and timing-based resource gathering and combat, where the mini quick-time event on swinging your axe/pick/weapon will increase the damage you do, speeding things up. My biggest complaint at present is that failing to hit the mark in the QTE for fishing completely fails the cast, where for everything else it merely means you do a regular strength hit. I wouldn't be quite so annoyed by that, except that fishing is required for late-game weapon and tool upgrades, with no other way to currently get the required material. Hopefully that changes at 1.0 launch. Favorite thing to do is build - in the style of Valheim, you're given a set of standard pieces like walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and rails, plus decorative pieces like lighting and rugs, and can build some extremely cool structures. From a tiny one-room shack with a bed all the way up to a mega mansion with docks and a tower to overlook the island. Best of all is that if you want to change the style of your building - building with stone instead of wood - you don't have to dismantle your current build, you just need to select each piece and change the style, for whatever the difference in resource cost would be. Above ground you'll find wood, plants and trees to harvest for fruits and seeds to grow them back at your base, and the towns and camps scattered across the islands. Below ground is the stone and ore that you'd expect - but the cave system stretches just as far as the overworld, and can be used to move from island to island as well, provided you find an exit down there. All in all, currently it's an 8/10, would recommend, and I can't see how it won't improve even more at 1.0 launch.

I really enjoyed playing this game. it's challenging but fun

waiting for big update

I absolutely love this game!

Long awaited coop is finally here

good
