  • The pixel art aesthetic is visually appealing and adds charm to the game.
  • Combat can be engaging and strategic, especially when utilizing stun and pin abilities effectively.
  • The game has a solid foundation with potential for growth, and the developers are actively working on updates.
  • Crafting elements are limited and lack meaningful impact on gameplay, making them feel somewhat pointless.
  • Encounters are often random and can be unwinnable, leading to frustrating experiences for players.
  • Character and quest variety is lacking, resulting in a repetitive gameplay loop without a compelling overarching story.
  • story11 mentions

    The game's story is minimal, primarily revolving around repetitive quests that involve slaying monsters or escorting characters, with little overarching narrative development. While players can improve their reputation through town quests and engage in random events, the lack of diverse quest variations and character customization leaves the story feeling underdeveloped. Overall, the foundation is solid, but there is a clear need for more engaging content and a deeper narrative.

    • “There are quests in every town and random events that can occur as you wander the world; some of the random events can occasionally turn into quite fierce battles, although they do seem tailored to your party to some extent.”
    • “You can improve your reputation with towns by doing their quests and even take over enemy forts and develop those too, though that part is only partly implemented so far.”
    • “There is no story, there is limited character customization, battles feel very repetitive, random encounters are often enough to wipe out your entire party.”
    • “No greater story has developed, but I'm sure it will as I journey forth.”
    • “The adventurers is a tactical RPG/mercenary simulator where you acquire quests from towns which usually involve going to a location and slaying monsters or bandits.”
  • gameplay8 mentions

    Gameplay feedback highlights a need for a tutorial to help players understand the mechanics, which are currently seen as lacking depth despite being fun. While the core mechanics are inspired by D&D and offer rewarding character progression, players anticipate that the introduction of more classes and tactical features will enhance the overall experience as the game develops.

    • “The game mechanics add enough depth and complexity to the overworld and the fighting is good.”
    • “Gearing up and leveling your party is both interesting and rewarding, and I've found that although the mechanics seem quite simple, my party has abilities that can work together quite well, and I can only imagine what it will be like when more classes are introduced.”
    • “More tactical features could be added later in development, and I assume the addition of fantasy classes will liven up the gameplay once your mage starts slinging fireballs and your cleric starts buffing the party.”
    • “Some feedback would be to add a sort of tutorial fight with some tool tips just to familiarize yourself with the buttons and the mechanics.”
    • “While I did not expect AAA-type gameplay, the game itself is lacking.”
    • “The descriptions are a bit confusing and run counter to current 5e mechanics - is strength the only thing that alters damage?”
  • graphics4 mentions

    The graphics of the game feature a pixel art aesthetic that some players appreciate, though comparisons to other titles suggest a need for improvement in visual quality. While the customization options for character appearance are well-received, there is a consensus that the graphics could benefit from more funding and development to enhance overall gameplay experience. Overall, the potential for growth in this area is recognized by players.

    • “I liked the pixel art aesthetic a lot.”
    • “The graphics and art style feature good customization of your party in terms of looks (visual only) and background (which impacts stats).”
    • “For what little time I've played, I can see so much potential in the graphics, especially considering the 8-bit style.”
    • “27 minutes in and I feel like I'm playing Battle Brothers with crappier graphics.”
    • “The game is kind of 8-bit; they won't be limited by the expansive cost of the graphics side of level design.”
  • stability2 mentions

    The game has appealing visuals and engaging gameplay, but users report significant stability issues, including freezing at the loading screen and bugs in the crafting system.

    • “Looks cool and fun, but it freezes at the loading screen.”
    • “There is also a crafting option in towns (basically, you get the town's blacksmith to break down unwanted gear and commission weapons and armor with the materials), though currently, it is a little buggy.”
  • music1 mentions

    The music and ambience of the game are consistently praised for being chill and beautiful, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The music and ambience are chill and beautiful.”
  • atmosphere1 mentions

    The pixel art style effectively enhances the game's atmosphere, contributing a sense of age and character to the world with its rough edges.

    • “The pixel art really lends itself to the developers' vision, giving it some rough edges that enhance the atmosphere and age of the world.”
  • grinding1 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect tedious and unenjoyable, particularly due to slow movement and the necessity to rest frequently after quests, which disrupts the flow of gameplay.

    • “Moving so slowly and having to rest after each quest, or possibly several times over the course of a long contract, is tedious and unfun.”
    • “The grinding feels endless, making progress feel more like a chore than an achievement.”
    • “Repetitive tasks with little reward make the grinding experience feel like a slog rather than an engaging part of the game.”
