A glorified visual novel of 100gb+ or a zoomer coomer's fever dream. Seriously, when you see multiple broccoli top and feminist bangs options for hair as well as custom genitalia, beards for females, female voices for men and pointless 3rd option for sex you just know what type of game you're into. And it proves to be exactly the one by continuing with hectic story and oversexualized predictable dialogues, behind which you just see those writers with mentality of an insecure, docile 20y.o.
Mediocre, which is the highest possible rating anything in the series after the 3 part can get.
It's basically a public domain at this point, cut 4/5 of the price.
I had to watch the intro, go through a tutorial, abandon it, choose a deck, enter another game, quit it, recieve some barrel, open it, get into some store, pick one of several cards, all this with elaborate animations just to get to game settings because my netbook kind of struggled with all these flashy moving intros and cards that whole time.
No quality of life keyboard shortcuts for hiring, etc. Quite sure they already were around in SoD when I first played it.
Well they tried real hard with all this sad music, monochrome scenery and sad devs' photos, but truth be told even Don't Starve has a stronger atmoshpere of despair and struggle for survival. All in all, this is one half a simplified version of the infamous Fallout Shelter, with another half a Sid Meyer's Colonization, but only where you make a rum distillery and then send your wagons filled with booze down those trading routes to your Indian neighbours.
Well, it's a great game in a marvelous setting, we all know that, 5 out of 5, but this DLC revealed some major problems. They hadn't done any testing at all before rolling the DLC live, plain as day to anyone who saw alps or hexen. They don't listen to any sane and valueable feedback from the players (not me lol) who love the game and want it to improve and get over those inheretly wrong design decisions. Now they are ready to roll out a new DLC and my biggest fear about it that they will listen to kids who spam "omg so cool cant wait lol plz add some ork necromancers for hire" instead :D TLDR - get a tester ffs, overhype.
