Following an apocalyptic event in which extra-terrestrial Stardust has contaminated the world, Metas are the last remaining humans who have become one with the alien substance. As a Meta you must explore the Nalcott Continent across a wide range of environments, surviving by hunting, fishing, and growing crops, while gathering materials to craft custom equipment.
You’ll need to stay on your toes as the corruption by Stardust has lead to wild mutations known as Deviations, and some of these have manifested as giant eldritch horrors intent on wiping out the last traces of humanity. However, Deviations aren’t all bad, as you can also capture many of them and then use their abilities to assist you, whether they’re harvesting materials, cooking meals, defending your territory, or acting as your personal bodyguard.
You can build a settlement anywhere to set up a base, or even construct a mobile stronghold on wheels to take it with you on your travels. With over 4,000 Metas on a server, collaboration is key as you’ll need to forge alliances with other players to protect one another from monster attacks and looting raids, while also launching Conquests of your own to gather rare loot.
