Konsepnya oke, bahkan rasanya ini salah satu gim yang ada alat produktivitasnya (pewaktu maju/mundur, alarm, bahkan Pomodoro). Cuma agak makan sumber daya komputer (15-20% CPU min 70 C, 15% GPU menurut overlay Steam) dalam keadaan tidak menjalankan apa-apa. Dev cukup tanggap di Discord. Kalau nggak masalah dengan ini, bisa jadi teman pendamping selagi kerja.
Game: Desktown Rating: ★★★★☆ [h1]Positives:[/h1] › Has a good balance between fully idle and interactive play. › Guessing secret words was pretty satisfying. › Buildings are cute and match the themes well. › Takes about 100 hours to complete all achievements. [h1]Negatives:[/h1] › There is no list for unlocked secret words and its infuriating having to guess words again the next day and hope you come up with a new one. › The lists of words are extremely hard to complete and honestly just thinking of easy words that match the theme doesn't help. › The price per theme/zone seemed weirdly off why buy the expensive zone other than to unlock it when the first zone will always be cheaper. › As some of the other reviews noted I did get locked in the tutorial and could not progress (rage quit and left it for a couple weeks I have no idea how I fixed it) › I joined the discord and asked a couple questions and never got a reply. [h1]Community Items/Socials:[/h1] › Artworks on the achievements is nice and matches the games art style. [b]Do I recommend this game?[/b] [b] Ahhh Yeah [/b] I quite liked how the game played after I got it working and played it pretty solidly and put in quite a bit of time guessing the secret words and I didn't finish a single list of words, so I'm glad there was no achievement for completing a list. It's not a game I'd go back to play again or leave running in the background. It could 100% use some updates to get more people interested as the concept is really good, but looking at the socials I don't think this game will be getting any improvements.

真的很喜欢游戏整体的呈现,粗糙一点的画面意外的有windows xp时代的风格 主要是因为喜欢闹钟功能买的,弹到屏幕中间好强力的提醒!! 但是有时候我没看屏幕,就会错过这个提醒TAT 希望能够自己设置提醒的时长,或者点击弹到中间的星球再停止提醒(因为有时候我会离开屏幕很长一段时间) 总之非常喜欢!demo使用过后就决定一定要买了,可惜没有继承进度
猜词有点新意,但总体有点无聊
actually kinda fun
I love the concept and the game! It can be used as a good working companion too, and also, typing game companion! Can see a lot of improvements since the game was released, and it's really delightful to see the civilization on the small planet flourish! Can recommend this game, and it's really a nice deal for the price too! My dual-playthrough with Typing game : https://youtu.be/e2QEzEMvDZc
I'm enjoying the game so far. Interested to explore evolving my tiny civilization going forward
写在最前:整体倾向于不推荐,尤其不推荐喜欢做全成就、全收集的玩家,理由下面说明。 这是中规中矩的一款挂机游戏,画风很有老式windows的味道,但是机制上来说交互性有点差,挂机只能获得人口、食物、知识三个数字的增长,又只有人口可以直接消费。而消费又只有摆放数量不多的建筑物和装饰品,刚开始区域少还行,多了之后就没有任何别的交互内容可言,你只能摆着当成一个桌面装饰,而不是挂机游戏。 接下来是我不推荐全成就党的原因:糟糕的猜词系统。我个人理解是制作组为了玩家日常沟通生活中触发单词获得一些额外的小奖励或者小彩蛋,但这个猜词系统非常难搞,它只给你一个关键字,全靠猜,而且还有30个字这个上限,有几个我用ai穷举都没有全部猜出来。这就意味着如果不用英文交流,想要在日常生活中触发的可能性很低,这进一步会导致如果要做成就或者收集,就得反复花精力去测试正确答案,这是让我最后破防来写不推荐的原因。如果加一个挂机到一定时间会主动给一个没被触发过的词,体感会好很多。
一个完成度还不错的小品级游戏,更像是个工作伴侣。玩家的主要流程就是打字跟挂机,成就需要挂满100小时,期间很容易就能完成1B人口的任务(当时看错了以为是10B,一直扩建了不少的区域,导致游戏进程变慢了)。 而且注意扩建系统有坑:在扩建完所有时代的地块之后,只要一直做原始部落地块就好。其他地块很贵,但是功能上是一样的,买了还不能撤回,纯亏 作者的工作语言应该是英语。作为中文使用者的话,要在工作中踩中奖励词(卫星词库)还是很难的。社区有个好人整理了500个词,大家跟着打一遍拿奖励就好。
Gamifying your productivity might just help you stay focused, and Desktown gives you the tools to keep track of time while rewarding you for simply typing. The more work you get done, the more your desktop civilisation prospers, and if you benefit from that kind of motivation, then this game is recommended for you. [b] Desktown gets 3/5 :) [/b] [i] Note: The game was received for free but there was no obligation or incentive for writing this review. [/i]
