At first glance, you might assume The Island of Len It’s all about Stardew Valley style farming, fishing and easy to consume. That element is certainly important, but this open world survival craft game is heavier on the battle side. In addition to exploring vast archipelagos, setting bases and cultivated crops, you need to create and enchant weapons, armor and tools that will help you overcome the battles of deadly dungeons and beef bosses. It was first launched in Early Access in November 2021 and is now a hit version 1.0, and developer Flow Studio celebrates with a temporary free trial and a big steam sales discount.
Check out our recommendations for the best survival games of 2025. You can see that almost all of them are excellent in cooperatives. It’s not a big surprise to see the introduction of up to 8 multiplayer has given a huge boost to Wren’s Island, as making it tough alongside your peers is a fundamentally satisfying experience. On a continuous free weekend, you don’t even have to convince your friends to buy it, as everyone can play without paying right now to celebrate the release of 1.0.
The progression of the gears and the more intense combat sections of Lens Island are reminiscent of games like Diablo and Hades. Meanwhile, sandbox exploration, homestead building, and dealing with Harvest Moon and enemy raids gives you a top-down terraria and needs-like atmosphere. Certainly, like Re-Logic’s Indie Darling, Flow separates characters and world saves in Lens Island 1.0, allowing you to bring your favorite builds to other servers.
Version 1.0 overhauls the skill tree, introduces new exotic weapons and tools, adds more enemies and final dungeons and boss battles, and of course transforms Wren’s Island into a cooperative game with the ability to host a server of up to 8 players. But there’s more to it. Another bow type, more paladin armor, tablets teaching the island’s ancient languages, redesign of workbenches, chickens and chicken coops, and improved progression of early games.
Combining the launch of Len’s Island 1.0, cooperative inclusion, and the ability to try it out temporarily as a free steam game, the player count absolutely surged, reaching a new high of 15,912. This is more than 10 times the highest record ever. The reviews are also very positive, with 86% of players giving thumbs.
There’s only one more day left for the free weekend, but don’t worry if you miss it. Flow Studio offers generous steam sales discounts that knock more than a third of the price, and you have plenty of time to take advantage of the contract.
