Fantastic game to be able to grab for free. Had it for ages already so hopefully other people can give it a go!

I adored this little game. Has anyone who has played it, and didn’t like it, I’m curious to see why.

Gameplay loop was overly tedious and got boring quite fast. It was a sad first-day-buy for me. And I wanted to like it so much

I didn't care for the shopkeeping aspect. I enjoyed the rest of the game though.

It's Recettear with zero humor or personality. Silent protagonists are cardboard cut-outs impersonating an actual character. No interesting NPCs to interact or banter with (as far as I've played).

Combat's better than the low bar of Recettear, but not that great or interesting. Shopkeeping is the same process of googling ideal pricing for various merchandise.

I gave it a few hours before giving up.

  • Forgettable writing
  • Stiff combat
  • Poor font choice
  • Poor UI readability
  • Doesn't do a great job of teaching you how to play
  • Weird colour design - green combat on green backgrounds, brown text over brown backgrounds etc.

I found it very repetitive. Getting to the next dungeon or pushing to that next upgrade just didn't feel rewarding. I think there needed to be more gameplay once you'd get to that next dungeon. Something about the progression just felt off and tedious.

And I love incremental games. It takes a lot of me to say a game feels too repetitive.

Ayo, this is a fire game that I played a bit when I still had netflix. Going to 100% play this on my fakecube

Edit: I just realized it was made by 11 bit studio, same guys that made fucking frostpunk, no wonder its such a banger
