♥♥♥♥ this game

I don't really see the big fuss about this game. I played almost a year after release and it doesn't feel either a city building or strategy game.

Limited resources force you to expand as early as possible. Opponent and bandit aggression forces you to build a militia as early as possible. Yet migration is painfully slow, house farming worth nothing, resources deplete too early and you can only trade some food resources to make money.

It's a constant rush, I think this is the first time I've seen a city builder felt like a MOBA. Will wait to see how it will turn out, have potential obviously, but I would prefer playing Foundation over this for now, not to my taste.

lame, greedy and boring

nice

If you can't stand cheeki, then do not try to breeki.

wholesome

Yes

Some bugs especially animations of students or objects colliding.

Performance is a big issue as you change map, you encounter stutters and open areas are no exceptions. Tried multiple solutions but nothing useful. This is because how the game badly optimized and how they handle transitions between areas.

Combat is, just there. I don't know how you transition between multiple spells, but it's definitely not smooth if you want to try different things. Other than that, it's a bit clunky, but works anyway.

Forced DEI kills the immersion massively. It feels like a UN refugee camp rather than a country side in mainland. They put everything related to DEI to the point of breaking immersion and losing it's authenticity. It could be planned and implemented better, it's too obvious they haven't thought those at the beginning.

I don't mention other stuff since mods try to help with small things like inventory space etc.

Worst thing is, you don't see any problems until you move forward with the game and your refund becomes problematic. Thanks to Steam staff, I was able to refund since most of my time I spent on trying to solve the issues.

There are still good things, like environment, especially the school is mesmerising, you can lose yourself in school area and find new things every time. Quests are also fun, except on very few occasions dialogues are too much. Graphics are good, but performance issues prevent you enjoying it.

This is a missed shot, I wish they have worked more on this game, but at this stage, not to my taste.

yes

Very good graphics, atmosphere, music and sound effects. I was about to give it a yes until the very end boss.

This game has issues in the core. Hitboxes, animations, targeting, all is problematic. Bosses (until the last one) are easy to beat, but mobs are designed to be annoying. You don't enjoy, but endure the game until the next boss.

And I had to skip the final boss because devs thought we should tie a second ending to an incredibly hard boss, so you feel bad about the whole experience. Well, this is my flip back to you.

I know "hardcore" players might disagree, but this game is not approachable due to very tight parry/dodge mechanics, not enjoyable due to every situation is designed to annoy you and does not satisfy you with well earned ending at the end.

Such a shame.
