The main enemy type is zombies. 

Characters and Leveling

There is no character creation screen, the game is first person view so it is partially irrelevant, there multiplayer however so I am not sure how this will work. There is no character level or skills at this stage. 

Creature Taming and Mounts

There is no taming, there is at least one mount and one vehicle. 

Weather Impacts on Gameplay

I did not experience any weather impacts on gameplay, this feature maybe in the game depending on biome, or seasons, there is no indicator of seasons being implemented at this time. 

Map

There is a pre-generated map and also the ability to create your own map using seeds. 

Game Modes

The game modes are single and multiplayer

Over Gameplay Difficulty

Far Lands is not overly difficult, it is currently one of the easier survival games. 

Game Summary

Far Lands takes place on an island with different biomes, You can build and craft using various resources. The game is being developed by a single person, It does not have the features of many of the other games, but is still in development. Personally, I supported this title just because I want to encourage game development, and that is worth the price of a fast food meal to me.
