Crossroads Inn Anniversary Edition

Nothing much to say about it: Bug Textures Keys impossible to map Boring

I like games like these and saw this one in the gog-sale. But after reading the reviews I was skeptical. I tried it anyway - and played it for many hours. I can confirm that there are severe bugs in this game but after knowing about them it is possible to work around them. The most annoying thing was employees or animals frozen in a location. In that case I had to reload a whole day. Extremely annoying. But it only happened three times. Despite that I am glad I bought this game. I played it for a few dozen hours and probably will again at some point. The story is intriguing and the game mechanics are not bad.

I really like the concept but it is very difficult to pursue the storyline because of bugs. My employees often stuck in walls or stairs. In this case I have to fire them and employ new ones but it's not always feasible especially when you are satisfied of your employees traits. The alternative is to destroy the wall or stairs in question (for free), wait the employee leave the place and buy a new one (1000 gold for stairs, in the beginning it is long to obtain this amount). Among other bugs. But I really think this game have great potential, I'm just a little disappointed because I've been waiting this game long ago.

I'd rate it lower but the game's charm did bump the sore up. Plus I do like some of the mechanics that I don't see in other tavern sim games. It does an okay job teaching you the mechanics but there are a lot of mechanics about staff management that are not explained and one has to grope around to figure out. The game also seems to still have a few bugs that can crash to desktop or have staff members perpetually in an infinite loop of doing nothing while trying to do something. Save often.

First off, this is a nice little simulation game where you run your very own Medievel inn! Sounds cool right? Well on paper it might sound great but in execution...yikes. The techincal issues are off the charts on this one The primary issues are heavily based on the A.I. and how the game is structured. Staff won't do as they are told, guests shouldn't be in places they shouldnt' be. Keeping things in order from getting orders done, inns cleaned up; quite frankly all the basic "How to run a business" is thrown out the window because game is a technical mess. There is a sandbox mode, and a scenario mode and a campaign mode which i found pretty nice. But let me be clear on the campaign, there are no levels, It's a continuation so save often and be aware at all times what you do can seriously put you in some hot waters. Also let me be clear on the 'game is strucutred' part. This game may have a simple tutorial. No really it does, but when you are left off your leash you find yourself wanting more guidance, because how you build your inn and WHAT you put in your inn can overall have a huge play in your session whether it be scenario, camapign or sandbox which is just nuts. And boy do you feel the impact should things go wrong. Overall, techincal issues really put a damper on this experience. Get it on sale otherwise not worth it.
