Stoneshard Reviews

Im Sorry but whats actually going on with this game? Been sitting on this game for YEARS waiting to be able to simply make my own toon atleast! your releasing DLC that actually have more premade toons..? This is starting to feel like raid at this point. Think the vision was lost here, releasing DLC when your base game promises are still not done, or spells. whole trees....Literally missing huge chunks and DLC is coming out? O_o i dont get it and i give up here and forever.

As others have stated, the game overall is good held back by terrible design decisions around wasting your time with a barebone save feature mixed with rng combat encounters.

I thought I'd give a positive review for the game, but unfortunately I can't.the reasons are as follows, the game is unfinished, there are a lot of bugs, Dev is very slow to work on them, and even when the new patch comes out, forget about the old save. The summary is that the game is super well conceived, but the developers are slow or poorly working on it. My advice is to buy the game only when it's finished, not before.

There is a lot to like about stoneshard. The combat and character skills are fun. The music is great. It can be very challenging. This game is good if it is the type of experience you want. A hardcore dungeon crawling rpg experience. They are absolutely nailing the vibes. When this game is finished I would give it a 9/10. If you've been waiting for updates on it, then you're used to waiting a long time unfortunately. The development has been slow. It's still a fun time. It seems like they left room to add more places to explore later and possibly tie into the storyline. Right now I would call it an unfinished gem. It is sure to polish up and shine brightly.

the game needs more time to cook, which is a shame considering its been "cooking" for 5 years (for a pixelart game) high level play is a crapshoot.. its either a breeze or you get jumped by 5 stunlocking enemies. raised this problem with the discord and as you can imagine the general expression is the game is perfect

This game can be somewhat frustrating due to the save system, but its a fairly deep RPG, with well thought out content. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a challenging yet rewarding game experience

Still no character creator, we get 3 characters instead and it specifies being free DLC when this is Early Access. Stealth mode and lighting in low priority, so i guess ill just assume it will never be added. Actually, feels like they said that just to provoke disappointment.

One of my absolute favorite games currently. I rarely provide a review on anything, but this title and the devs deserve it. It is an absolute GEM of a game and will have you enjoying yourself for hours. If you enjoy strategy games and RPG games, this is a MUST HAVE. PROS: -Art Style = this game has the most killer art style seen in pixel art, every single scene and item is so well drawn that it is an absolute eye-candy -Ambiance = the setting of this world and the lore are top notch, can't wait for more areas, more factions, more continents and foreign lands -Freedom = freedom to roam and build any build you wish with endless combinations and variances with freedom to slow-play for very difficult to get up builds -Difficulty = this game is meant to be a CHALLENGE, this is a game that WILL punish you and have you solving for a weakness you overlooked in your build, but once you get it right it is a PURE JOY to experience, instead of getting absolutely obliterated, you are the one doing the obliterating suddenly and with a very marginal fix -Development Team = listens to the player base on discord and takes appropriate steps to curtail or adjust as per player feedback, while not letting up on the FUN FACTOR (difficulty). -Replayability = think you've mastered the game with one build? Try another, and you will feel the challange all over again! CONS: -Development Time = its a smaller team so the development time is a bit longer -No Voice-over = no real or ai voices for most dialogues, gotta read most of the text yourself My overall rating: 9/10 as close to perfect for this genre as you can get so far. This is a FUN game that offers HOURS and HOURS of entertainment with a fantastic community. The only thing missing is more content and more updates and more DLCs so that we can explore the entire world of this master-crafted gem!

gameplay is amazing but needs more time to cook as the main story is incomplete and world is empty just a sandbox

it is a very fun game, so fun. the only thing holding it back is it's save system. numerous times you'll die to lose hours of game play constantly. you're ALWAYS outnumbered but you will never get back up or companions. there is a class system and no way to make your own character so you get stuck with the shit classes they have already made and no way to recoup skill points you spend. so when you have a character you like a little but now you've finally got armored warfare? to bad, you'll not be able to get back the points you had to waste into something else to get you by. the game itself has so much going for it just a few stupid ideas are dragging it down. If you think you are worthless and want to waste your life then this game is for you. if you value yourself and your time look elsewhere.
