Gombo

Been playing this in short intervals on break at work on my ROG Ally. It runs great. The game is fun, great for picking up and putting down for short game play sessions. With that, it has lasted me about a week in its current form before I completed all available content. I've had no performance issues (on a handheld, no less). No bugs or glitches. The artstyle is fun, the game play is good. The difficulty was good. I just wish there was more content, but this is still early access and the devs are making updates. The price point is excellent also.

Gombo is a really nice game! I have been waiting for this game for quite some time now, and it was definitely worth the wait! The art style is beautiful. I love these "old cartoon" vibes, and the game is full of small hidden details that you discover while playing, which is something I always love in games. You can really feel the passion that went into making it. Definitely worth trying!

Пока не рекомендую. Интерфейс не очень удобный, глючит - в какой-то момент зависла анимация использования топорика когда он сломался, ходит стал медленно и в растяжке с топориком, в другой момент враги зависли и не могли сдвинуться с места. Броня не одевается автоматически. При взятии своего трупа все просто падает на землю, и каждый раз надо всё раскладывать по ячейкам быстрого доступа, одевать броню. Ночью враги лезут как из пушки, фиг отобьешься. Игра не ставится на паузу. Игра выкидывает из меню если тебя бьют, чертовски не удобно если хочешь выйти когда рядом враги.

J’ai passé un bon moment sur Gombo. Ce que j’ai apprécié avant tout, c’est son style visuel : les graphismes dessinés à la main lui donnent une vraie identité et rendent l’exploration agréable. Le jeu mélange survie, exploration et construction de façon assez accessible, sans être trop compliqué à prendre en main. J’ai aussi aimé le contraste entre le jour et la nuit. La journée est plutôt calme et propice à la découverte, tandis que la nuit apporte davantage de tension avec les dangers qui apparaissent. Cela donne envie de continuer à progresser et à améliorer son camp. Bien sûr, le jeu n’est pas parfait. Certaines mécaniques peuvent sembler répétitives après plusieurs heures, et il manque encore un peu de contenu pour maintenir l’intérêt sur le très long terme. Malgré cela, Gombo possède une vraie personnalité et montre beaucoup de potentiel. Au final, c’est un jeu indépendant sympathique, avec une direction artistique réussie et une ambiance originale. Si vous aimez les jeux de survie et de crafting sans prise de tête, Gombo mérite clairement qu’on lui laisse sa chance !

Note that this game is *very* early access. All content can be done in about 2 hours, and is one of those "you get what you pay for" kinda situations. That aside though, it's very well done as of right now. The graphics are enjoyable, the music is nice, and the combat surprisingly feels great. There's little quests for you to do, and neat little magic scrolls to find that can spice up your gameplay via offensive or utility magic. There are problems however, a few of which I'm assuming are just due to the game being EA: Unless I'm misunderstanding, the game tells you 'night is deadly, stay near the light to not get obliterated." Yet night monsters will hound you down despite being next to light. Monsters can destroy your base a bit too easily. My entire base got demolished from 2 attacks from a mushroom. The campfire says it heals you but does not. The main way to get money early is by selling to an NPC, who does not have an interface; you need to sell the item in your hand to him 1 at a time and it's tedious. Item prices are wild; one log is worth 2 gold (you get like 5 per tree) while an iron tool is worth 6 gold. The soundtrack is great but it only played for like...5 minutes of my entire 2.3 hours of gameplay. Then there are actual problems with the game; Enemies spawn just off your screen almost immediately after their spawn zones are off-screen. This can lead to situations in dungeons where you have to kite backwards through an area you just cleared through, but the group of enemies has already respawned despite you just clearing them out not 10 seconds later due to enemies almost immediately respawning off-screen. Magic grossly outshines melee. Why would you use a sword (that admittedly has generous range) when you can use a wand that basically has infinite ammo, infinite durability, long range, and does the same damage as your sword? Mind you this is a starter wand that you can buy for 20 gold (you can natrually hit this point in like 5-10 minutes) compared to the highest tier sword you can make currently. "endgame" is obtainable in less than 5 minutes once you realize you can sell logs and buy everything from the merchant by spawn. Pretty fun game but still needs a lot of work. Good to pick up now as a little pallet cleanser from whatever other thing you're grinding, but will definitely have to keep checking in on it for updates.

Cute and really fun game. The game is easy to understand and guides you if needed but you can still try things on your own if you want to. I like the art style and how interesting the characters and enemies look. Will definitely play this with my friend! :)
