    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game shows potential but is marred by repetitive mechanics, clunky controls, and minor bugs that detract from the overall experience. While it retains familiar elements from its predecessor, such as resource management and survival challenges, players have noted issues like villagers getting stuck and a poorly designed user interface. Overall, the gameplay is considered mediocre, with some players feeling that it lacks innovation and can become frustrating over time.

    • “Of course, the positives out of it is that you have the same gameplay as the previous one, giving roles out and balancing the roles to gain the resources you want, and you send people out in the boats like before, which is nice to keep in.”
    • “The gameplay in Forsaken Lands needed my constant attention and I needed to play the game while the days went on, challenging me to see whether I could survive the night, or the next, or the next after that and so on.”
    • “I have been waiting for this a long time and I like that they didn't stray too much from the first gameplay, art, and mechanics.”
    • “This game has a lot of potential but does have its flaws in certain game mechanics.”
    • “Repetitive gameplay, clunky controls, and my villagers get stuck on buildings for 3/4 of the day.”
    • “Mediocre gameplay and poorly designed user interface.”
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in "Uncharted Shores" has received mixed reviews, with players expressing disappointment over its lack of connection to the previous game, "The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands." Many feel that the narrative fails to expand on character backgrounds or the world, instead presenting a disjointed quest line that lacks clarity and emotional engagement. Overall, the game's story is criticized for being underdeveloped and reminiscent of mobile game mechanics, leaving players unsatisfied with the experience.

    • “I played the first game, 'The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands', and I loved it. I was expecting this game to be a follow-up, something to carry on the story, expand the world, and add to the characters' backgrounds.”
    • “As for 'Uncharted Shores' story, you will start your village from the ground up, since you just arrived on this new, uncharted island with just a bunch of explorers.”
    • “When the update comes, please make it refer to the previous game, make it a challenge, complete the islands in an aesthetic way to complement the geography of the world and art, and make me care for the story/settlers.”
    • “However, this game does not do that; it's more or less the same but with changed game mechanics. Plus, you're no longer present in the story.”
    • “The quest line is not very clear, and there is a certain point of no return that you either are prepared for or face the end of the game.”
    • “Bad story, bad production; it could be better.”
  • stability
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is reported to have several bugs and glitches, which can affect the experience, but they generally do not significantly interfere with gameplay. While users acknowledge the game's potential, the stability issues are a notable concern, especially for a title priced at $15.

Overall, while the art concept is appreciated, there are notable aesthetic flaws that detract from the experience.

    • “It has a great art style like the first game, and the concept is still good.”
    • “The game is still being added to, but the art feels out of place to me. While it's nice to see the new cities and settlements, it's a shame that the islands look bad. The home island is geographically disturbing and does not complement the art.”
    • “When the update comes, please make it refer to the previous game. It would be great to complete the islands in an aesthetic way that complements the geography of the world and art, and make me care about the story and settlers.”
    • “It works well and I haven't encountered any game-breaking bugs, but there are a lot of aesthetic flaws, including awful audio quality and some sound clips that seem to come straight from the first game.”
