Positive Review to Negative: Here's Why..


This game isn't what you think or hope for.

After a good few hours more, I've come to realise a bit too late. This game has no current end-game nor does it reward your progress. From start to finish, its just the same continuous trog-along style that doesn't feel like youre actually achieving anything. Its hunting provides no valid progression beyond 2 quests and building a village is almost useless as at the end of it, youre not going to get very far. You'll chop down tree after tree until you need to go further and further away, if you find a large clear opening, you have to travel a fair distance overburdened for some time unless to run back and forth with tiny amounts of logs and sticks. Theres nothing in chests, besides 1 chest ive found in the entire game and from the sounds of it, youre not even intended to steal things as I believe the purpose of that 1 chest is to act as a placeholder for villager inventories as children age and such, the chest acts as a spawn holder for their item of use. However, this can be abused as since it regenerates every season (which are 3 days long), you can infinitely obtain money - (but dont tell the devs I know that).

I was very skeptical of this game and honestly, I think my thoughts were placed correctly. The devs already have 2 games pre-planned upcoming and showcased a VERY basic roadmap. They have no plans for mod support. No plans for coop/multi, no intensive combat or armour/weapon plans (yes, they literally dont plan for armour from their own Q&A in a Medieval game).

This game is looking to be the farming sim of medieval - - - remind yourself, what games tried that? Remember those games? Yeah... where are they now..... Theyre dead and some even got outed as scams (not implying this is, just that this game is not aimed to have a valid life cycle and is pre determined - in early access - by the devs to be dropped).

This game, honestly had high hopes for me. However, with developers already pre-planning the game's death - I cannot recommend this anymore as it is not going to be worth in the long run and is ultimately a game that will be wasted potential.

Rest of review is a few hours into the game and first impressions..

(you may criticise me for my stance on this as potentially being dumb, however any company with 2 titled preplanned for 2021 while giving a roadmap into the start of Q1 2021 for a game they released in Q4 2020... you'd be dumb to not question the extent of their plans for this title - I want this game to be the better kingdom come like the next person - however this is not it. They do not intend nor aim for anything even close to such, this is a builder/survival sim with no genuine combat focus as by their own Q&A by stating they dont intend weapons and armour - unless youre gonna fight with bows and hammers...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's Good.

If they add Multiplayer, Servers even - Coop... OOFT, it'd be great. AI is a little iffy and I honestly feel there should be more combat as combat is like minimal to almost non existent besides agro'd animals (boars, foxes, bears very rare seemingly).

Addition of workshop or dev kit would be *INSANE* and generally would fast-track this game development 10 times over.
It is worth the funds and generally, I feel deserves alot more focus and support from devs as I notice they have projects upcoming for next year and such which makes the question - how long will this game be supported....
