Len's Island

Fun game, 14.3 hours of playtime with my friend and we finished it. There's a number of things that we felt like could be improved on which would make the experience and playthrough overall much better. Enemies: You're fighting the same enemies with the same attack pattern throughout the entire game, the only difference is their armour and attack damage, now these enemies are fine in the first "tier" of dungeons, something like an introduction, that's what it feels like but to then go on and fight the exact same enemies time after time took away any "challenging" feeling you could've had if they had more attack patterns every dungeon, making it more skill based with blocking and dodging rather than just add more of the same enemies, this made it more into a run around and wait for your specials and hope for the best type of scenario. We died plenty of times simply because there were too many enemies and you can't attack them without taking hits which would mean instant dead since there were 10-20 enemies. Bosses: we absolutely loved them, they each had different mechanics and once they've gone through them a couple times you could counter, block, dodge at the right times making it into a fight you could actually survive without having any heals on you. Progression Crafting Farming enchanting: This felt fine at the start but it very quickly felt more like a chore than anything else, which is also why we completed the game with minimal enchants and upgrades. Enchanting: Once we unlocked the enchanting table we didn't have anywhere near enough essence to enchant anything, even cursing a dungeon after you went through it did not increase the essence drops, let alone give you back the 75 you just spend on cursing it. If we go back to the point we made under enemies you can understand that nobody feels like going through these dungeons over and over to farm up dark essence, it's stale and boring and very unrewarding. Even though throughout the higher dungeons new enemies appear and some of them always drop dark essence or even multiple, we felt it was still lackluster and basically skipped most of the enchanting. This can be very easily corrected, examples, dungeon 1= each mob drops 1 dungeon 2=each mob drops 2 dungeon 3= each mob drops 3. Cursing a dungeon would increase the difficulty but would multiply the essence dropped by x2 (and completing it would give you an essence drop of 75) basically returning your input in creating the dungeon. This would give anyone enough essence to enchant an arsenal of weapons and gear, meaning you can try out different combinations and have fun with a bunch of different stuff instead of having to stick with just a singular weapon. Now this directly fixes other "problems" being able to actually enchant the pickaxe with x2 ores would've made life so much better, sadly we never actually got to that amount. There's so much good content in the game but it's simply not "needed" and kind of a struggle to get. Farming up enough gold was more of a waiting game, farm certain items to then sell them, fish fish and sell them. But then you come across an outpost that you can buy for an outrageous amount of gold which most of them really aren't worth at tier 1, tier 2 was where the good stuff started to come in but again, progress wise you would have to stop, farm up gold, upgrade your outpost and then wait for it to produce resources when in the meantime you could just not upgrade or get it at all and spend that time on actually farming up the resource it would produce. Which means it's just not worth it in the long run because you don't need that resource anymore. Defending your outpost was silly to us too, you do not have portals unlocked at this stage so you would have to jump in your boat and sail to wherever your outpost is to protect it? We never even got to do this because we would simply sleep through the night and it did not seem like worth the effort. What we wanted to see was monsters raiding our base maybe even in multiple phases, an unskippable event, meaning our turret towers would've actually see some action but they never did so again, a very cool piece of content but really just a placeholder as it never did anything. Adding to that, there are walls in the game to place around your base but no gate to finish it off? Overall i feel progression simply needs some tweaks, when to unlock what and how much does it cost to unlock versus time spend and how much does it actually improve your gameplay. Examples, we didn't build anything that was a part of the last workbench tier and we didn't touch the buildable portals either, why? You need the final tier of the backpack to have enough resources on you to build the portal, by the time you've reached this there's barely any point in making them because... well, you're pretty much at the final dungeon, similar to the final tier workbench unlocks. Now i've yapped for way too long and anyone that actually get's through this comment, i applaud you. The 14 hours i spend in this game with my mate were enjoyable and we did have a lot of laughter, the boat that completely ignores physics is hilarious, going backwards or forwards? Doesn't matter! The completely random wall of ice at the edges of the map, too funny. Boss mechanics, great, skills of weapons/crafting gear, amazing, the fact that i killed my boy while chopping down a tree felt like i was back in valheim. Top tier. The music? My hat goes off for the composers, we loved it. I wish you all the best on this game and will definitely return after hopefully more content and updates.

Nice survival action game with surprising amounts of depth. Valheim is clearly an inspiration but there are great quality of life and polish improvements in Len's Island. The proceedural system is ok, you do end up gringing repeptitive environments but the dungeons show a surprising amount of variety.
