Let me tell you a story: I contacted the dev a long time ago (2019 i think) about a bunch of bugs. We started to chat, I sudmitted and showed a bunch of bugs which was more or less fixed. ALSO I made a google file with a bunch of ideas and he liked it, But in the end he just abandoned this game. Then he tells me about his idea for a new game and asks can I test earliest builds of it and give feedback. So I tested a dozen of build for a new game (In the beginning there was nothing but a main view and an ability to build basic structures), and I told him a lot of ideas, which were implemented and the game evolved. I remember he had a macbook and was looking for investors on some Expo, he placed his macbook on some table they provided. This game right now called "Anvil Saga" and it's out. I didn't get any shoutouts or at least game key, not even a thank you even.
Life is Hard... because the devs abandoned the game, leaving you battle more bugs than enemies. After 3 failed attempts on Veteran (medium difficulity), i decided to play on Easy until i learn how to play the game better. After 3 days, when my village is finally sustainable in regards to food and soap for hygiene, i get attacked from both sides. Having only 1 hero, I am forced to decide which side to try and defend. By the time I managed to fend them off on one side, the enemies on the other side leveled most of my village. Frustrated, i start again, choose a different god, hoping that it will help develop the village faster, so that i can have better defenses against enemies. Same scenario happens with attacks on both side, village burnt to ashes again. F*** this game.

pretty good
Bon jeu mais malheureusement incomplet. Beaucoup de bug. Il faudrait le retravailler un peu mais il y a du potentiel. Dommage...
This game has the worst UI I have seen in years. If you like getting into a game and get confused on what to do in a tutorial go ahead and buy this. Very frustrating gameplay, I also think the game is now abandonned. "There aren't any trees nearby for your wood cutters!" - Scroll half a screen over; 3 trees in a row
The game concept and theme promises a fun experience in a beautiful setting; unfortunately the game is left unfinished in a pretty buggy state. You may have fun playing this for a little while but I can't recommend getting a game that likely won't be completed.
Contrairement à ce que prétend la page du jeu, il y a bel et bien une "traduction" française disponible dans les paramètres : mais à part une phrase de temps en temps, 90% du jeu n'est absolument pas traduit. Les quêtes pour débuter et comprendre le jeu sont bugées, les mécaniques pas trop très claires ou intuitives... Bref, on a vu mieux.

Seems alright, I'm a sucker for pixel art and this one's not too bad, it could definitely use some work though and it doesn't sound like that's going to happen. It's a management game but I couldn't figure out how to jump to my different people other than finding them on the map and clicking them. My hero character died and the game told me I needed to revive him at an altar, but I have no idea what that means. Unfortunately, I can't play more than 15 minutes before it crashes.
Cheio de bugs e abandonware o steam nao quer devolver meu dinheiro, lamentavel. Nao caia no golpe.
