Great game! More! Rouge is my crush

ErikSwahn responds:

Thanks! The rogue was indeed meant to appeal.

Theres a lot of potential here, love the visuals the gameplay loop is addicting and its just fun to play! There's still a lot of problems though: First off its way too easy, the rouge wipes the floor with any dungeon making alignment, most items and characters useless. The overworld is pretty unbalanced too: everything seems to require wood; gold quickly becomes useless because potions and merchants are both useless and cheap; and by the time you see more than 3 deer total every clickable thing is useless because of how much more materials you have. The biggest issue though is that it just feels empty: There seems to only be one event, and theres not much to manage for either the overworld or the dungeons. Still this is a fun game and I think if there was some sort of expansion adding more events or more managing systems or toning down the power levels of things to let existing stuff have more of an impact, it would be a LOT better.

ErikSwahn responds:

Thanks! I find myself making concepts of games more than finished products. People tend to have good ideas on how to fix the shortcomings. Even if I do not expand a mentioned game I still remember the ideas for upcoming projects :)

This game is the title

The core feedback loop is very addictive and the mood is just right. What this game really needs is a conclusion.

Assuming there isn't one.

I got the Shrine and 10 Bells, beat every dungeon with every hero, and pushed the darkness back to the corners of the map. There's a Shipwreck that doesn't add a new dungeon, and the Shrine can't be demolished. If there's an ending to this game, I sure can't find it.

ErikSwahn responds:

The shipwreck is supposed to add a new dungeon if it is inside the circle of light. Could be a bug if it doesn't work. The shrine should be able to open a portal if you have not already figured that out. Glad you enjoy it so far though!

This is a good game in which you can spend more than three hours. I like the idea of building a city and the ability to go to dangeons

ErikSwahn responds:

Makes me happy to hear. It was a cosy game to work on :)
