Forsaken Realms: Vahrin's Call

I went into this after seeing the mixed score and almost bounced. I set a 2 hour timer just incase but I'm happy i kept playing. This is a game made by seven people and it shows in the best way. You can feel how much they cared about the exploration. The zones aren’t some endless empty open world they’re handcrafted and actually full of secrets. Skill books, hidden paths, random gnomes, little side stories that actually add to the world. Turning the quest markers off makes it feel like those older games where you actually had to look around and figure things out. That part is excellent. The classless system is the other big win. You just level whatever you use. I’ve been running a weird greatsword + fire magic + bow hybrid and it feels natural. Different weapons actually play differently, and mixing styles is encouraged instead of punished. Combat takes a little getting used to it’s slower and more methodical than most modern ARPGs but once the timing clicks it’s satisfying. It has that old Fable / early 2000s ARPG charm. The art style is vibrant and a bit stylized, the music fits, and the voice acting is way better than I expected from a team this size. Some of the performances really land. It’s not perfect. The UI still feels like a placeholder in places, the world can feel a bit empty of random NPCs, and performance isn’t the smoothest on every system. Writing is pretty standard fantasy fare with some humor. None of that stopped me from keeping the game installed and wanting to see more of it. If you’re after a polished AAA experience or something that holds your hand the whole way, this probably isn’t it. But if you miss those games that rewarded curiosity and let you build whatever character you wanted without a rigid class system, this one delivers. It’s rough around the edges in the way a lot of passionate indie projects are, and I’m glad I ignored the early negatives long enough to see what it actually is. Solid recommendation from me.

I'm having fun playing this game. Not much more to say.

l'univers et l'idée sont cool, par contre c'est trop propre, trop lisse, unreal mais on ses pas foulés, deux heures a chercher des points positifs malgres les fps et la qualités graphiques médiocres, y a vraiment de bonne idées sur le papier, mais trop limité par le moteur, les jumps sont naze, le menu éclaté au sol, des maisons sans portes d'entré, des pbs de logiques, si vous voulez jouer a un style fortnite foncez

Overall I am enjoying it, but it needs some QoL stuff. UI especially, plus more resolution support.

Wow, what a fun game. You can tell so much is handcrafted. Hitstop feels good, but could do with a bit more versus larger enemies. One odd thing is I haven't found any upgrade materials in the first several hours. Nitpicks aside, its been very addicting and fun. Can't wait for a bit of QoL improvements and we'll have a gem on our hands.

If you are looking for a smaller project of love and community dedication that is reasonably priced for what it offers give this title a chance. Seven developers poured years of their lives into making a quality game, learning the skills they needed along the way, and what they have accomplished is worthy of support. Hoping to see future work by this team. The ending reward was especially nice for those of us that remember what the early days of gaming were like and the insights that devs offered players to help them understand the heart behind a project.
