Voltaire: The Vegan Vampire Bewertungen

I wanted to like it so bad, because the premise and artstyle are so good. It's nicely polished and the soundtrack and feedback sounds add to the theme. The days are relaxing (when everything plays out). Uncles Frank and Stein talked a bit too much and I basically skipped that every time - but that's a me-problem. The quests they give you are virtually useless and after a few weeks, I found myself ignoring them. The compatibility of different crops are a good way to get players to plan their crop layout, I loved that, but it gets annoying quickly. Plus, most of the food-crops you can plant are not worth the care, since you need large amounts of food to do anything at daytime. I only found myself planting one set of fields and protecting that at night - anything else gets destroyed anyway. The game makes recovery after a failed run very hard. If even some of your crops get destroyed, that's a setback of several days and sometimes, you find yourself without any food. And that means running around the map to harvest some minorly-filling berries. And that gets me to the worst part of the game: The absolute USELESS running around you HAVE to do, to get wood and stone. I spent maybe 80% of my time running circles in the forest. And then, when you finally have enough planks and bricks for that defense tower, it hardly protects your crops anyway. The final straw when I quit: I grinded 20 minutes in that stupid, repetitive (but very cute, I admit) carnival to get the mystery boss box. At night, I was chasing the boss around at the other side of the map and my house got destroyed. The boss doesn't come back, so I was playing all the minigames for nothing. That was enough for me. When it was good, it was fun. But it gets repetitive too quickly and therefore is not worth the price for me. I understand people liking this game, so I guess I was not the target audience. It's not relaxing enough for a farming sim and not action enough for a roguelite.
