“这真的不是demo吗,四种能力(翻滚,剑,稿子,钩爪),初始给了剑和翻滚,每个流程地牢就是运用能力获取新能力,最后救回狗狗。地牢的解谜非常简单,小怪一共就四种,而且机制非常无聊,前两个boss是同一套招式循环的背板设计,第三个逐渐变难,但都体验不到设计感。本作说不上多差但是配不上正式版。然后则是游戏形容的地牢部分,50个关卡打小怪,非常之无聊。”

“Castaway is brilliantly colorful [...] and offers a taste of adventure that’s just potent enough to make its hour-ish runtime satisfying.”
8 – Destructoid

“Castaway is one of 2024's most charming games.”
8.5 – TechRaptor
