Ravensthorn

I've been around this game since the playtest began and i can surely say that it has gone a long way from where it was AND it will go a long way from where it is now. The potential is present, the developer is active and passionate and the community is wholesome and welcoming. Give it a try, you won't regret it

Somehow, all the time I’ve spent testig in Ravensthorn - along the Demo capping around 200hrs - there was this feeling of how oldschool games have affected this game’s development throughoutly. There are some visible and some harder to find influences from games such as WoW Classic, Elder Scrolls, Life is Feudal and such. Even though it seems simple and easy to play I’m oftenly surprised how some dumb mobs can beat the living ♥♥♥♥♥ from me or the grind a 1.5 GB game can bring. Sometimes it amazes me how supidly made some systems are, yet they’re giving some funny flavor to a game that has a serious fundation. Along persistent small bugs and sometimes bad optimization where the “what a dev wants to do” gets paired with “what a dev can do” there’s palpable constant improvement from a single dev. I do recommend the game because the independent indie studio behind this game stood true to its view and the small community around has indeed a heard voice. There’s still place for improvements, but I assume that with time they’ll start contouring this game even more. Sometimes it feels that brothers Grimm stories and romanian folklore fables had a child.

Great fantasy medieval game, absolutely love the new mob AI. Really hope to see more people playing this, it's a gem of a game!

besides that there's place for improvements, the way this small RPG is tailored is indeed a little indie gem. it really takes me back to a time where games were not about instant gratification. i'd like to point it out that some aspects really do have the old-school vibe and sometimes this game is relentless 10/10 you can't kill deer for meat but you eat spider legs, mushrooms and flowers lol

Too early to fully judge the game but shows a pretty fun concept, similar to that of old school games. I reckon with abit more time it will be a good light rpg

It's a nice indie game that blends sandbox with storytelling. I really enjoy the vibe, gritty and cartoonish really takes me to the fairytale feel. There were constant updates but from what I've understood the developer is working on a bigger update. The fact that spiders scream is funny 10/10

I will give like for exploration and future potential. Right now there is lack of guidance for player, I did not know what to do. Crafted some stuff and started to explore surroundings, but soon enough very tough enemies can be met, they are pretty clumsy so easy to lure them away or just ignore. So overall I played game in "Walking simulator mode", explored Island and that's it, could not find any more motivation to play it . Dev need to add quest system and easy to understand crafting tree.

A surprisingly good indie game. Ravensthorn brings some genuinely original ideas, and the dark fairytale atmosphere together with the world design feels very interesting and full of personality. I really enjoyed the exploration and the fact that the game manages to offer something different compared to many indie RPGs. For its price, it’s definitely worth trying. If you enjoy games with a unique atmosphere and a fantasy world built with passion, I highly recommend it.
