Castle Creator

I dont normally review with less than 2 hrs ... but since there are no reviews yet ill put one up. This game shows me everything i want in a building/management game. Great graphics, awesome build style, cool concepts , and a focus on building not necessarily management outside of what you need to generate to continue building. The game plays and feels great, looks great... there is one severe problem however..... There is no Tutorial. Which normally wouldnt matter as most of these follow the same tropes and you can figure it out. NORMALLY. They have done something fantastic with moving away from the tired played out mechanics of similar games... but in so doing make figuring out how the game works pretty brutal. I have figured out how to place houses ( sounds easy right?... ) but not in how to keep them happy , not to mention i feel like they give you just enough resources to get started.... provided you know how to start correctly in the first place. If you make your initial castle a square to big , you have to restart, or if you dont realize you need a bed so that you can progress the game through sleep, you have to restart... might not be a huge problem, but it gets super annoying and grindy to have to restart 12 times in a 36 min play time due to having no idea whats going on. There is a help section but its a bare bones as it gets. it gives you basics of the game in weird sections without explaining how you first get to the point where that help advice is relevant.... I really really hope that the devs put something in that explains the background mechanics and how to do some of the even basic stuff. If I knew what i was doing i would probably put hundreds and hundreds of hours into this game as the building, decorating, and management are all very very deep ( like super deep my friend) and are above most others of this type... but without some basic mechanics explained i feel most people will walk away from what could be an amazing builder! I want this game to succeed so i will give it a thumbs up... but i DO wish there was a maybe ... I also want to say if you think the devs will fix this one huge but simple problem then this is a no brainer must buy especially for the price!!! EDIT: The devs have put in a light tutorial... and honestly its just enough to figure stuff out so great job devs .. simple quick fix and much appreciated! with this i can def recommend the game. Also now that we have the tutorial, i have had no issues knowing what i need to do to progress. its a great chill game with no time clock making the later partt of the game very chill and enjoyable while you figure out how you want things to look and feel. I still dont know how to edit pieces of castle once they are built ( height expansion, ect) but im sure illl figure it out. i think if you are into pure building and enough game mechanics to make it feel worth it then you will def be happy picking this up. Also a tiny recommendation for the devs, if you add modding to this you could have a real star, although this being a VR game also that might not be feasible ...

Unplayable. Unfinished game. No user guide. No anything. The screenshots are not indicative of what you can do. I spawned in on the roof with the worst case of mouse inertia I have ever experienced, in permanent Look mode. I was unable to get into the castle or build farms, outbuildings, etc. It is not as advertised. I will be asking for a refund. Buyer beware!

I’m recommending this ONLY because I have been waiting for this kind of game for years and it really does function as a relaxation builder game. Mostly. This game would be fantastic if it was an EA game and the dev was actively working on issues and improvements. The controls are not initially intuitive but you can get used to them after a bit once you figure out how to move and use things. You also can’t load saves or start a new game from the menu. You need click “start a new game” where it will load one of your previous saves (not the current one) and from there, you can start a new game or load an old save. There's little things in the basement left over from some old build I guess. So this game is a little rough around the edges. All that said, if you don't mind that, this is a nice resource management/builder hybrid. You start out with some resources but they do not get you very far. Just a tiny keep and a few small farms. You must balance your resource production, population and aesthetics to grow you castle day by day.

If you buy it and have problems with it like a simple CTD, the dev is nowhere to be seen. No updates. No fixes. Just trash. The thing that made me change this? Datamining. I went to make a video walkthrough to help some people out with these awkward controls only to find that I can't change the save file name. Not only that, it uses my real name as the name of the save. Thanks, you absolute potato. How in the world did you get that? I've typed it in nowhere. Are you stealing info from when I purchased it perhaps? Whatever the reason, don't buy this game. It's sketchy AF.

J'attendais ce jeu depuis que j'étais tombé dessus sur le magasin y'a quelques semaines, le principe m'attirait énormément. Je lance le jeu, on me demande de sélectionner le plan sur la table. Après presque 1 heure à cliquer depuis tous les angles possibles et imaginables, à relancer la game, à quitter et relancer le jeu, j'abandonne. Déception totale. C'est la première fois de ma vie que je vois un jeu avec une mécanique ultra-basique qui ne fonctionne pas. J'ai demandé le remboursement.

It looks great in the trailer and the screenshots, and I absolutely love the style. But the actual game is a completely unplayable mess, with horrible mechanics and controls and no tutorial or proper instructions. This was the first game I ever returned on Steam.

市民からの支持を得て税金を得つつ、資源をやりくりしてお城を大きくしていこう！というゲームです。始めは資金も資源も少なく、いきなり巨大なお城を建てられるわけではないのでご注意を。 日本語は未対応ですが、そんなに長文が出て来るわけでもないので少しGoogle翻訳すれば問題なくプレイできました。 （※ただし、フォントの関係で「e」と「c」が大変区別つきにくく読みにくいです） まず最初にチュートリアルに従い城の基盤を建てるのですが、ここで大きくしすぎるとすぐ資金資源が底を尽きて積みます。最初は小屋か砦みたいな規模から始めると良いかと思います。 しばらくはチュートリアル通りに進めれば問題ありません。壁に扉をつける、作業テーブルを作る、市民の家を建てる、農園を作る、ベッドを作って休むとターンエンド、等々…… この辺でHELPも読んでおくと良いかも。ざっと一部を紹介すると、 ・ターン毎に建築物に応じた資源を得られる ・市民の数に応じて資金（Gold）が毎ターン得られる ・市民は1ターンに5人失われる（最初生贄かと思って笑いました） ・市民は食糧とデコ（装飾）を要求する。無いと市民の25%を失う ・木材は木や植林地、食糧は農園、石材は地下の採掘所、金属は地下の製錬所で生産 ・作業テーブルで壁紙やBGMを変更できる 基本的には市民を増やしつつ食糧や資源を確保して少しずつ城を大きく、豪華にしていくゲームです。選べる各種パーツはかなりの量で、眺めているだけでもワクワクします。西洋ファンタジー好きなら更に夢が広がるのでは！ 注意点として、タイトル画面にLoadボタンがありますが機能していません。一旦New Gameで始めて、ゲーム内メニューからLoadしてください。 またゲームを起動するとなぜかSteamVRが起動しますが、特に関係なさそうなので閉じてしまって大丈夫です。いずれ自分のお城をVRで歩けるようになったりするのかもしれませんね。

I feel like the game gets in the way of my creativity. I'm impressed by some elements, like the placement of assets and their quality. But it is lacking a great deal in its user experience, being quite obtuse in its interface and mechanics. On a basic level, it doesn't feel very enjoyable to control. I like the idea, and the price would be very fair. But I had been given the wrong expectations, and I feel burnt out on it already. Without an Early Access label, I don't expect sweeping changes either. I do think there is potential. There is still a lot of work to be done, and I wish the developers all the best, but I hadn't signed up for that journey. The game seems to be feature complete, so I would label it as a Beta.

I think this game has some potential. Desperately needs an in depth tutorial, not the few images that flash on the screen. Also needs a free build mode. Resource management games are fun but sometimes I just want to build.

是喜欢的复古画风，能自己设计每一个城堡的细节 但是有一个严重的问题，无法保存，退出后再回来就找不到记录是怎么回事 不知道其他玩家有没有这个问题

Nice looking game, but its truly hard to understand what to do. No tutorial, no useful help, i will keep it and wait for further patches but seriously, its hard to play a game like this one
