Roots of Pacha

While i do enjoy the game, progression for a lot of the times is just straight up Infurating and i'm forced to google it because it makes no f***ing sense or just Horrible game mechanic. In order to achieve something, you need to complete Prophecies, how do you know what to do to complete said propechies? read a Very Vague description. Some of the prophecies require a specific Item, Knowledge Progression or Constructed Building to complete, how do you figure this out? You don't! it's nothing but blind guess work! For example, one of them states "The invented a place to store food for them and their animals" what are they asking for with this description? Had they removed "and their animals" part it would've been clear, a Grannary, but they also added Animals, so now it's no longer as obvious...the answer Is a Grannary by the by, but, you need to have Done something before one of others come up with the idea, how do you make them come up with the idea? Attune and Invite 8 Animals to live in your Animal Sheds. Now, how would you Possibly think of that? again, you don't, it's just dumb luck that the devs put all their eggs into the "they'll just do random sh*t" basket and patted themselves on the back, meanwhile players like me who had no interest in the Animals, i didn't in Stardew Valley and i sure as sh*t don't do here, so i never bothered with them other than to get a Mount, so if i didn't look this up, i'd be sh*t out of luck since i'm pretty sure that Later ideas cannot come before Earlier ideas. Then we have the Statues in the Caves asking for 3 specific things, you know what these things are by finding 3 painting on the walls of the cave, except just like the Prophecies, they are vague as sh*t and misleading. I find a painting showing a picture of what is a Strawberry and either a Onion or a Pomegranat and a Juicer, so clearly i need to make juice out of one of those 2 shown, but i was already in Fall when i reached that point so they were both out of season, i then forgot what the third item was and instead of roaming the caves for the painting (forgot i could just hit E when inspicting the animal statue...) i found out that what they asked for wasn't Strawberry juice, they asked for ANY kind of juice, and then i realized that EVERY SINGLE ONE of the offerings said ANY <input item here> ...i would've waited a full in game year to get back to Strawberry to give to the Second statue, meaning i'd be locked out of progresion for who knows how many hours because of those vague damn painting and those creatures drawing them being of absolutely ZERO use, but i was spared because i have a sh*t memory and simply googled it. And i also previously came across a seperate statue with only a single offering needed, what was the guidance there? "something sweet that you have not discovered yet" is that the creature said, because apparently someone did not like the guiding painting it was making. What was the answer? Alfalfa, how do you Get Alfalfa? by completing 10 of the 14 prophecies! by the time i've reached 10, i'll have forgotten about that damned horse and just gone "oh, new plant, neat" and i'd never even go back to it's statue because there would be nothing in that section of the cave that would benefit me! Vague Descriptions with even vaguer instructions, behind unknown answers that feels like a Scavaging Hunt but the one who wrote the clues forgot where the next clue is...this is a Horrible game mechanic, just Godawful. I know this is more of a Rant than a "Review" but i just needed to vent somewhere that Might catch the devs attention...not that i'm expecting them to give a f*** but hey, feeling optimistic...or desperate, take your pick. If you're gonna get this game, get it with a friend, only way to properly get enjoyment out of it while you're busy ripping your hair out trying to figure just how TF you progress or unlock this tool.

Love this game to bits. As an archaeology student, I love to play games set in past times. Seing the evolution of crops from low quality to high quality by not only gaining stars or something like in other games but by actually changing th size of grains etc. gives me joy. I know many people love Stardew Valley, but I wastly prefer a game for which I don´t need a guide when playing for the first time because it only seems to be for people to micromanage every second to maximise profit. This game you can be played casually and it still has a lot of heart in it!

[h3] スタバレライクな石器時代の農業ゲー [/h3] 日本語翻訳された後にプレイしたが特に翻訳に気になる点や違和感もなし。 進めていくにつれてどんどん便利になり、稼ぎの手段が増えるという王道システム。ちなみに戦闘はないが謎ときダンジョンみたいなものはあり。他にもレースや音ゲー的なミニゲームもあり色々工夫がされて楽しめる。 [h3] 良かった点 [/h3] ・斧や鍬といった道具が別枠 └よくある1ラインほぼほぼ必須の道具でアイテム欄埋められるという事がないのが〇。種とかも別枠。その分加工物とかの種類が多い。 ・マップを開くと誰がどこにいるかわかる └スタバレで欲しかった機能がデフォルトである。いつもいる場所にいない！がないのでだいぶストレスが緩和される。 [h3] 気になった点 [/h3] ・登場人物が多い(増えていく)が、割とみんな似た顔や衣装なので区別がつきにくい └石器時代なので衣装的な区別も難しいので仕方ないとは思いつつも、あれ売ってくれる人誰だっけ？みたいなことが割とあった。 ・NPCとの好感度が上がりにくい └登場人物が多いのにも関係するがその割に好感度があがりづらいのが気になった点。 ・クラフトでのチェスト参照がない だいたいこれ系のゲームだとよくあるチェスト参照がないので持ち歩きが必要になる。せめて家や倉庫の中にあるチェストは参照して欲しいな～というのが正直なところ。一括で同じものを入れるボタンはあるがパッドだとちょっと不便かも。キーマウのほうがやりやすいと思う。 [h3] 農場経営ゲーが好きならおすすめ [/h3] 序盤はわりとサクサク進み、すぐにマウントをゲットできるし色んなものが開放されるのでとても楽しい。プレイヤー一人だけが頑張っているのではなく、部族全員で思いついた暮らしを良くする提案をしているのも一緒に発展させていってる感じがあって〇（とはいえ素材を持っていくのはプレイヤーなのだが） 農業系の作業が好きで、稼ぎを出すために牧場を拡張していく感じのゲームが好きなら楽しめるはず。 一応海外のwikiはあるものの、ピンポイントで出てくる日本語のページとかは少ないのでそこは大変かもしれない（とはいえそこまで難しいものもないと感じた） 最初時計がなくて不便だけどそれは後々開放されるのでご安心を。

Had a great time playing this in multiplayer. I have focused on cooking, gardening, and gifting items to NPCs. We had the daughters luck - meaning me and my friend had both daughters as our offspring. Doesn't experience lag = playable even with potato PCs. Festivals/events in game are not mandatory and can be skipped, and minigame rewards are unique for the first two years. Restoring the time threads is satisfying. We have completed the achievements on mid-Fall Year 3. Jelrod's team only won ONCE.

Ein sehr umfangreiches und liebevoll gestaltetes Spiel. Am Anfang war ich skeptisch, da es auf den ersten Blick recht kindisch wirkt. Aber tatsächlich macht es einfach nur super viel Spaß! Wer Spiele wie Stardew Valley liebt, sollte Roots of Pacha definitiv spielen! Die Minigames beim zB Angeln sind sehr gut gemacht und nicht zu nervig. Die Festivals sind super abwechslungsreich und selbst wenn man glaubt man habe alles gesehen kommt wieder etwas Neues dazu. Mein Favorit unter den Plus-Punkten: Wie bei jedem Farming Sim müsst ihr natürlich Aufgaben erfüllen, doch hier sind diese NICHT an die Jahreszeiten gebunden!!! Ich finde das fantastisch, da dies den Druck raus nimmt Dinge in den jeweiligen Jahreszeiten erledigen zu müssen.

A very cute cozy game on par with Stardew Valley. Takes a while to get going but I loved how the villagers would help come up with ideas - it made it feel like I wasn't the only one developing the village. All the villagers have great stories and there are lots of interesting romanceable characters. Progression is slow but satisfying. It also has 4 player co-op so you can play with friends! The art is great and the music is catchy without getting annoying. There is no combat so it's especially good for people looking for a stress free experience. Even your animals can't die! Definitely pick this one up if you like farming sims/cozy games - it's worth it at full price.

싱글도 나쁘지 않지만 멀티를 더 추천함. 4명이 농사, 낚시, 목축업, 광질 나눠서 하고있는데 하는일 1도 안 겹쳐서 좋음. 부족 번영 수치, 장비 업그레이드 및 건축하는데에 소요되는 시간 등등이 과도한 빨리빨리 플레이에 브레이크를 줘서 여유 갖고 하기 좋음. 스팀 농사겜 대표 중 하나인 스듀랑 비교하자면 축제가 미니게임 형식이라 확실히 차별점이 있음. 다만 아쉬운건 축제기간에 한정 아이템 살 수 있거나 이런 건 없음. 이것도 있었으면 GOAT였을듯. 단점 말하자면 스토리 진행, 광산 시련 진행 등등 할 때 같이 하는 사람들 무조건 다 모여야함. 공동체 생활 개 지림. NPC들과의 관계 스토리의 맛이 좀 얕음. 대신 고대시대라는 특성 상 애들이랑 뭉탱이로 다자연애 가능함. 게임 요소중에 아쉬운 부분이 있어도 고대시대라는 시대적 배경으로 어느정도 이해 가능함. 개 사기 세계관과 개연성인듯. 농사 게임 좋아하면 무조건 추천. 정가로 사도 그 값 하는 것 같음.

The idea of progressing from stone age technology makes it quite addictive for me, the multiplayer mode is also quite nice, the game has enough to do to split tasks so I enjoyed playing on my own as much as when I'm playing with my partner.

Really fun and relaxing cozy game with no combat.
