Rotwood Hits 25k Concurrent Players in Early Access Amid Mixed Reviews

Klei Entertainment's latest game, Rotwood, receives a wave of negative reviews from Chinese players, contrasting its overall positive reception.

Rotwood, a new co-op brawler by Klei Entertainment, launched in early access with over 25,000 concurrent players.
Despite a 'Very Positive' rating on Steam, 96% of the game's negative reviews come from its Simplified Chinese version.
Critics praise Rotwood's challenging gameplay and cartoonish graphics, but highlight issues with localization and game mechanics.
The game is expected to remain in early access for one to two years, with plans for content updates and additional language support.
Rotwood's success follows Klei's history of popular titles like Don't Starve and Oxygen Not Included, bolstered by a strategic partnership with Tencent.
