Romestead

not nearly enough to do and game is unbalanced and unoptimized

-

I'm leaving a negative review but it's more of a mixed one. It will be updated at a later date once the game has more fluff. TL;DR game is lacking content and every feature feels undercooked at the moment but could become something cool in a year or two Romestead is a lot like Necesse, in the sense the game is taking inspiration from a lot of popular indie games to make its own stew, but the stew ends up tasting like a bit of everything with no distinctive flavor. It gives you very limited village handling and automation, there is a raid/village defense system but your villagers do not participate in said defense, you cannot equip them with gear, and they have no personality outside of minor stats change. Bosses are okay-ish, the fights are a bit boring and easy but that's fine (haven't done them all). You also get specific boss materials to craft armors and weapons, but as of today they sadly do not have assets. The very first boss allows you to craft a feather-y blue armor and bow, the armor is just the base tunic dyed blue and the bow is the basic bow. Exploration is meh, there are 5 biomes right now, and one is completely unfinished. They are filled with small very repetitive dungeons, and the amount of loot/trinkets/special recipes is simply not enough for the game to generate that many dungeons. Combat is extremely basic, same goes for the skill tree/tech tree. That said I do like the friction Romestead has for ressource gathering and town building, I hope they keep it that way and even expand upon because it at least gives the game a bit of uniqueness. I also think it's visually pretty cool and enjoyable. And as someone who like to sack POIs and structures for decoration in my games, having a page dedicated to the decor you looted for your home/town is nice. But yeah basically Romestead is 20% Terraria / 20% Core Keeper / 20% Rimworld / 20% Don't Starve / 20% Necesse, but has yet to prove players why it's 100% Romestead. Given time and a proper direction it can become a good alternative to those games, but only time will tell.

контента мало разнообразия билдостроения мало душка с городом ужасная, 80% игры работаешь шнырькурьером, пока город сам не будет себя обеспечивать скелетов с замедлением рот ♥♥♥♥

it good and a bit addicting

still lack of content, enemy start getting more annoying and too much of them overall its just good at first impression but in long term its not that fun and get quite bored so easily in my opinion
