Temps de jeu:
768 minutes
3 hours in my first run, critical crash with no answer at all from keyboard or mouse, only way to close is through taskmanager, considering there are some good aspects but also a ton of bad aspects to that game I can't recommend it at all.
Good:
-Pixel art
-each villager can get a positive or negative skill when joining your village, some being good for military as much than for economic purpose
-some difficulty
-compared to kingdom (which is more or less a clone of), you can micromanage villagers and buff them with various potions to modify their stats, with a bit of planning you can optimize their special skill bonus with potions ( a villager having +50% hp from his skill will benefit more of the 25% hp potion than a normal one etc)
Bad:
-can't give "complex" orders, like move down a ladder AND go mine a boulder of resource, you have to send the villager down said ladder, then when he reached it tell him to go mine said boulder, when you get 45 villagers it gets extremely tedious
-Automine functionnality is broken and won't work most of the time
-replayability seems quite low as there is obviously a "good" starter that you will find on first playthrough, I didn't check but assume other maps to play on change a bit this but still it feels quite poorly designed
-maybe ten buildings at best, and some are just the better version of other so in the end you will actively play around 4 or 5 of them
-terrace building is totally broken, as in it's made to expand the buildable surface vertically, but if you build actual buildings on it, you can't access these terraces anymore, and can't destroy them to get some resources back, so building them is a good way to lose huge quantities of resources
-on night 5 I had a "special" event where a unique monster appeared and wrecked most of my military (that's not the negative part, it's actually good to find some challenge), when I defeated him I received some nice rewards and a very not nice screen freeze, had to kill game through taskmanager as mentionned at the beginning of review, that is the main reason for my negative recommendation, I can go over a handful of bad designs, but a hard crash on first hours on top is very infuriating, feels like I wasted my time and right now if I restart the game and realize it's a guaranteed crash on this point I may just uninstall and curse the dev on 3 generations. Hoping for a bunch of fixes and improvements to gameplay, until then even on sale don't buy it
( and I paid it less than 3 euros)
edit: tried this two years later, played a bit less than 5 hours and it ended abruptly on another fatal error.
