  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics that involve playing nature-themed cards to expand territory against human opponents, but it suffers from imbalance and a lack of depth. While the concept is intriguing and the presentation is appealing, many players feel that the gameplay is minimal and repetitive, with a need for more diverse mechanics and clearer communication of game rules. Overall, there is potential for improvement, but the current execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “The gameplay itself is simple and involves a very good topology.”
    • “Gameplay consists of playing nature-themed cards to take over various hexes on the map and try to out-expand the invading humans.”
    • “While none of the mechanics are communicated, they're fairly simple and so long as you don't stall out your very initial growth trying to hydrate deserts or something, it's not too hard to grow explosively across the board and basically have the upper hand at every point.”
    • “List of issues after just 10 minutes of gameplay:”
    • “There is a pretty solid canvas to improve on; I suggest the team take a step back and look at the overall game flow and improve on the core gameplay.”
    • “However, when it comes to gameplay, this game really falls short.”
  • graphics
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are generally praised for their beautiful aesthetics and artistic design, particularly in the nature guardian character and the overall man vs nature theme. However, some users express disappointment with the generic UI and lack of customization options for resolution and graphics settings, which limits the ability to enhance the visual experience. Overall, while the visuals and audio are well-received, there are areas for improvement in the user interface and graphical flexibility.

    • “A game with very nice graphics and an interesting concept.”
    • “I like the aesthetic of man vs nature where you play as the nature.”
    • “Beautiful, the aesthetic, the art, the music, the VFX...”
    • “There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customize the graphics settings.”
    • “There's no way for gamers to try to improve the low-quality graphics.”
    • “I wish the UI and cards were more in the style of the nature guardian art, instead of the generic font and graphics.”
  • music
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's music has received mixed reviews; while some players appreciate its beauty and aesthetic integration, others find it repetitive and annoying, particularly due to the lack of audio controls. Additionally, there are complaints about the persistent background music in certain areas, which detracts from the overall experience for some users.

    • “The music is nice and it's fun to see the green expand all over.”
    • “The aesthetic, the art, the music, and the VFX are beautiful.”
    • “Bewilderingly, the game doesn't include proper audio controls, so you can't turn off the annoying background music; you'll need to alt+tab out and stop the music using the Windows sound mixer.”
    • “The music is okay but gets repetitive since there seems to be just one track.”
    • “There was still loud 'machinery' music playing in the area where the humans started, even though there were none to be seen.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game has limited replayability, with players noting that it can be completed quickly and lacks variety in gameplay. Suggestions for improvement include introducing more card options and mechanics, such as deck-building elements, to enhance the experience and encourage multiple playthroughs.

    • “The special cards are a good start, but there needs to be more options. Maybe even going so far as to make this more of a deck builder, which would add variety and replayability. It would make choices much more meaningful since you wouldn't always have the same cards to work with, and you couldn't just spam a card endlessly.”
    • “Each playthrough feels unique due to the different strategies you can employ, making me want to dive back in for another round.”
    • “The game offers multiple paths and outcomes, ensuring that no two sessions are ever the same, which keeps the experience fresh and exciting.”
    • “It took me very little time to complete and has no replay value.”
    • “The special cards are a good start, but there needs to be more options. Maybe even going so far as to make this more of a deck builder, which would add variety and replayability. It would make choices with them much more meaningful since you wouldn't always have the same cards to work with, and you couldn't just spam a card endlessly.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization of the game is viewed positively, especially in comparison to many low-quality titles on Steam, suggesting that it offers a more genuine experience despite being a student project.

    • “The monetization strategy feels overly aggressive, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “I was disappointed to find that many features are locked behind paywalls, which detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “It seems like the developers prioritize profit over player satisfaction, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, users report that the game is well-optimized, with smooth performance and minimal issues.

    • “The game is very optimized from what I noticed.”
