Вечно эти демки обрываются на самом интересном месте, оставляя после себя только недоумение и легкий зуд в кошельке - мол, ну купи уже полную версию, не будь жмотом, а вдруг там дальше шедевр в который я не поиграю... Если вдруг этот мой спич наберёт 50 лайков и 10 наград, я, как мужик сказал, так и сделаю: куплю наконец полную версию на распродаже, поиграю 100 часов, значок улучшу и реально пойду в церковь, поставлю свечку разрабам, чтоб они и дальше клепали крутые проекты, а не только дразнили нас кусочками. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⢷⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣼⢧⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⢀⣾⠃⢘⣷⣀⣀⣤⣤⣤⣄⣀⢸⡏⠈⢷⡀ ⠀⠀⠀⣼⣷⣾⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣶⣬⣷ ⠀⠀⢰⣿⣿⣿⣿⠁⠸⠗⢹⣿⡟⠰⠷⠈⢻⣿⣿⣿⡇ ⢐⣒⣺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣀⠀⣀⣼⠛⢷⣄⠀⢀⣼⣿⣿⣿⣿⣉⡁ ⠀⠤⢺⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⡇⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⣿⠢

I played this demo on stream, it was fun and entertaining. It could prove to be challenging and amazing if it will have co-op. Looking forward to seeing how this game will develop.
虽然是试玩,但是似乎可以通过商人得到到一些后面场景的物品

"Craft Hero - Prologue" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Craft Hero". Craft Hero is a Chinese 2D pixelcrap RPG-lite, a kind of hack-rogue mobile app like affair with lightweight elements of base building, lightweight progression, and incredibly shallow gameplay... well, what should be expect from badly optimised pixelcrap? It's 2025, come on. Let the pixelcrap die. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Craft Hero, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Craft Hero - Prologue" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $5 for the full game, and I don't recommend you do that either. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's well over 130 million gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at less than 100 concurrent players, they couldn't even break three figures, and now there's basically nobody playing it. Even though it's free. This is a dismal public reception, but it's easy to see why gamers rejected it. It's important to note that, despite this being such a low quality product, there's a number of positive reviews that all appeared immediately after the game launched, from suspiciously inactive Steam accounts that have reviewed almost no other games apart from this. Take the review score of this game with a grain of salt. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.
Fun game! I have already put it on my whishlist! :)
