The game is similar and takes inspiration from Minecraft, a game whose console versions were previously developed by 4J Studios. among its similarities include its HUD, Graphics, Resource gathering, and Building mechanics, though unlike Minecraft the player is given a "sculpting tool" that gives them a greater variety of shapes, angles and other options when building.[7]
The game will also feature a creative mode where the player can play the game without taking damage with an unlimited amount of resources, it also features an option to pick a "flat world" a world with no terrain providing the player a clean slate for building.[6]

Minigames and Tutorial worlds are a long term goal. A closed alpha version will be made available at some point in early 2025, currently the studio is focusing on enhancing the game's survival aspect. The game's visuals are not final and are subject to change, the studio is accepting direct feedback from its official Discord server.[4]
A world in Reforj totals to 4096 elements or 4−kilometer square, if you reach the edge you would loop back around and end up on the other side of the world. The game is planned to be released on modern consoles such as the PlayStation 5, PC, Xbox Series X and Series S.[4]
