Kitaria Fables

This game has locked areas and quests for a reason. At the start, you can not farm. After a quest, you can and probably should, to get money and food for buffs, but this part is mostly optional. Much of the grind can be reduced with patience. The game will give you resources, once you get to that part of the story. If you want, you can get pretty good items right at the start with guides. I have played at least 10-15 hours before hacking. All together, I have spent 30 hours on this game. See my forum topic for tips and the hack.

Es tut mir leid, jedoch muss ich dem Spiel sagen "zurück ans Zeichenbrett". Die Idee RPG mit Farming zu verbinden ist toll, jedoch auch direkt misslungen in der Umsetzung. Das Spiel besteht im Kern aus diesen Punkten. - Farming (was komplett irrelevant für das Spiel selbst und dem vorankommen ist) - RPG (Was nur aus stundenlangen Farming besteht und bessere Gegenstände dann man gerne 6h statt 2h Farming bedeutet) Das Ganze wird gekürt, mit einem Helden der nicht schnell rennen kann. Man gibt ein Item aus einer Quest ab und die nächste Aufgabe lautet "gehe in ein Gebiet wass nochmal weiter weg ist, um X zu holen". Da helfen auch die misslungenen Teleporter nichts, welche an den ungünstigsten Stellen (mMn) stehen. Von den Checkpoints mal ganz zu schweigen. Sorry, kleines Indie-Studio... auch wenn ihr viel Zeit und Geld investiert habt und ich weiß wie aufwendig so ein Spiel sein kann... ich würde das Spiel nur geschenkt spielen. Und wenn kaufen, nur im Angebot für 1,99€.

fun to play co-op with my 7 years old.

relaxing time killer, but enemy power scaling per zone is absurd

For those too lazy to read: Save your money, buy something else. It's understandable that with the success of Stardew Valley others try to copy it. But most fail. Hard. This is a fine example of such failure. At first glance it seems like an updated 3D version of SV, which would be nice, but as soon as you actually start playing you'll quickly notice two things: Sluggish controls and loading times. LONG loading times. The game world is devided into dozens of, often needlessly small, maps crossing them quite literally is regularly faster than loading the next map. This screams serious memory management issues. The game doesn't really use that much ram but not due to good programming but because the developers were unable to cope with the whole map loaded and instead every few steps the world is just discarded from ram and the next piece loaded. Ouch! Secondly, the controls aren't what you'd call smooth. Movement response is sluggish and imprecise and fighting therefore is arduous and more a game of luck than actual combat. And there's a lot of fighting, too much actually. But that's something most SV copycats suffer from - since they're lacking original ideas they just fill the void with more enemies. Third, item usage shortcut and quickslot management is a mess. The game strictly adheres to gamepad-like controls even though it's not a console game. With a real console-type game you get a quickselect wheel or similar to efficiently and quickly choose items and tools from and a non-console game simply uses that big keyboard in front of you. This game does neither and it does it badly. Oh, and selecting from the inventory during fighting is a bad idea - time does not stop to let you think and plan. Bad design decision. And the game world itself is missing a lot. It appears too artificial and without depth, npcs are little more than quest markers and the story tries too hard to be mysterious and interesting and falls short of both.
