  • story18 mentions

    The game's story features intriguing ideas and a core narrative that is playable, but many elements feel unfinished or abandoned, leaving multiple story threads unresolved. While some players find the main story enjoyable and accessible, others criticize it for being bland, unoriginal, and lacking coherence, with several quests remaining incomplete. Overall, the story has potential but suffers from a lack of development and polish.

    • “There do seem to be story elements that are unfinished, but the core story is there; all mechanics are usable and the game is completely playable all the way through.”
    • “The main story is a lot of fun to delve into.”
    • “Apparently it may be abandoned, which is a bummer, but only because I'd like to be inspired to play through it again with additional story elements.”
    • “There are multiple story threads that aren't finished yet. I was looking forward to finding out how some things (artifacts, statues, etc.) work into the story or how they are at least interactable, but the content hasn't been added yet.”
    • “The story (what little is there) is of minor interest even if not all the set pieces make sense.”
  • graphics13 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players appreciating the cute pixel art and nostalgic aesthetic reminiscent of classic titles, while others criticize the visual clarity and control issues. Overall, the art style is noted as a standout feature, but technical shortcomings detract from the experience for some users.

    • “Very cute graphics and fun dialogue.”
    • “The graphics are reminiscent of games from my childhood.”
    • “The graphic is nice and the sounds are great.”
    • “The graphics make my eyes bleed and I can hardly make out any of the fonts.”
    • “I typically love pixel-graphics building games, but this one just isn't doing it for me.”
    • “The cheap price and nostalgia for Harvest Moon SNES pixel art aesthetic is the only reason I bought this game.”
  • gameplay11 mentions

    Gameplay in this title is a mixed bag, with some players finding the mechanics awkward, particularly in tool swapping and combat limitations. While the core elements of exploration and crafting are present and the game is playable, frustrating interface navigation and unfinished mechanics detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, the game offers a decent amount of content for survival game enthusiasts, and the developer is actively working to improve the gameplay.

    • “If you're into survival games, this is a great game for the price, plenty of gameplay, and an entertaining game overall.”
    • “The gameplay is mostly about exploration and crafting.”
    • “There do seem to be story elements that are unfinished, but the core story is there, all mechanics are usable and the game is completely playable all the way through.”
    • “Several parts of the game mechanics are awkward (having to manually swap tools) and the combat system is really weird (why can they hit you from any direction but you're limited to mostly directly forward or back with melee weapons?).”
    • “There are also annoying game mechanics that tend to hinder the gaming experience, like not being able to harvest certain crops until you hit a certain level, which makes it so that some of the crops die before you're even able to get seeds.”
    • “The gameplay is completely overshadowed by how frustrating it is to navigate the interface, especially when roughly a third of your game experience is using the interface for crafting.”
  • grinding9 mentions

    Reviews indicate that grinding in the game can be tedious, particularly due to unclear requirements for harvesting crops and a cumbersome controller configuration. While some players appreciate the balance of farming and combat, they note that leveling up abilities requires significant effort, which may appeal to fans of the genre. However, issues like poor framerate and a lack of clarity in farming mechanics detract from the overall experience.

    • “Some crops can be harvested only when you have a certain farming level, but you can plant them right away. Before planting, you are given no indication of the required level to harvest.”
    • “It takes a while to level up your abilities and requires some grinding of items, but isn't that what we love about games like this?”
    • “The farming watering system is so bad; there is no way to tell whether you watered the crops or not other than standing there to wait and see if the crops grow.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with some players noting a lack of in-game music and only finding enjoyment in the theme song during the credits. While the sound effects and pixel graphics are praised, the limited availability of music through a "cassette player" feature has been seen as a significant drawback. Overall, the music aspect seems to be a point of contention among players.

    • “Also, no music.”
    • “The theme song on the credits was worth that much by itself for the laugh it gave me.”
    • “Music's got different tastes.”
  • humor3 mentions

    The humor in the game is generally perceived as lacking sophistication, with some players finding the drone-like commentator's attempts at comedy to be unamusing. However, there is a recognition that the repetitive inventory management can lead to some unintended comedic moments during exploration.

    • “The humor is rather boorish as well.”
    • “It's a bit funny in my opinion, because in the early game you need to explore the land first, but the lack of inventory space makes you go back and forth continuously just to sort out your inventory.”
    • “Is that drone-like commentator supposed to be funny?”
    • “The jokes fell flat and felt forced throughout the game.”
    • “I expected more clever humor, but it mostly relied on clichés.”
  • stability2 mentions

    The game's stability is criticized for being buggy, with frequent freezing issues and problems related to crafting and inventory management, particularly during extended play sessions. Many users feel that the game's stability has worsened over time, leading to frustrating experiences.

    • “It's currently buggy but playable unless you play for the long haul instead of just beating it.”
    • “In all honesty, I think it was better before; now it's full of problems and infuriating as hell. It randomly freezes for 2-3 seconds every 2 minutes or so, and overnight crafting items vanish or stop producing, with items in chests and inventory disappearing overnight.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    Users acknowledge the potential for replayability in the game, though some express concerns about mild user experience drawbacks that may hinder it. There is hope that future updates from the developers will enhance playability and encourage repeated playthroughs.

    • “The potential for replayability is there too.”
    • “The potential for replayability is there, but it feels limited in execution.”
    • “The user experience has some mild drawbacks, which affects the overall replayability.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    Users report significant optimization issues, noting that the game appears to run on a single thread, which may cause delays in actions. Suggestions for improvement include disabling distant instances and implementing techniques to enhance overall performance.

    • “I realize everything runs on a single thread, which could explain the delay on some actions. The developers might want to consider disabling instances far away or applying techniques to improve overall performance.”
    • “There are quite a few optimization issues.”
    • “If that's the case, I realize everything runs on a single thread (and that could explain the 'delay' on some actions), but the developers might want to take a look at disabling instances far away or applying some techniques to improve the overall performance.”
    • “Has quite a few optimization issues.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The atmosphere of the game is generally described as enjoyable, contributing positively to the overall experience.
