So, is the demo nice? yes. Does it have balancing issues, or pacing issues? Depends on your expectations. I do think it would have been better if we could ask the gatherers to focus more on certain types of resources, instead of giving them a flimsy pick and losing it after one mining and never mining again, or only starting to mine after all storage is used...
I'm enjoying the game (bought it on Steam) but it feels really grindy/micromanagey, and it always feels like you're on the edge of having everything fall apart (running out of stoon or sticks, each new enemy feels overwhelmingly strong... automation took a while to unlock and even afterwards it feels like I'm having to keep the plates balanced and spinning). Really like the concept and most of the execution... I just wish it didn't feel so much like a job.
developer response: That's a fair bit of feedback! The automation particularly is something that could probably afford a rebalance, as it felt like it was always slightly less than I needed on last playthrough. Part of the game's balance is admittedly to make things feel scarce to keep that survival backdrop (hence sticks/stoons) without the necessities actually being scarce (1st locale with tools is always a stick/stoon surplus over time). However, doesn't mean it's in a perfect state yet by any means. Appreciate the feedback!
flimsy means flimsy. -flimsy
I'm never a fan of demos being posted, because it means they plan to charge for a full version, which is usually overpriced.
I am stupid and very much didn't notice the second tabs for a little bit there. Was wondering when you upgrade your bags but the option's already there!
low chance for consumable material is not good, really. at least let us keep try on foes. this antidote business is really giving me stress..
Yeah, this one's not for me. The intro was interesting, but after that it just failed to hold my interest.
dude this game so good
i am most def buying this when it comes out
I generally don't like demos but this is neat
wow, when it says flimsy it means FLIMSY. Especially combined with the rng, collecting rare items that require tools isn't fun.
