Master Forge

Der Ansatz ist wirklich gut. Wenn man erstmal drin ist könnte man echt darin versumpfen. Leider war ich nach knapp einer stunde mit dem bisherigen Content soweit durch. Ich hoffe da kommt noch ganz viel mehr. Für zwischendurch aber echt super :) EDIT: mitlerweile muss ich meine meinung leider revidieren. Verschwendetes Potential. Seit über einem Jahr keine Updates mehr und soweit man es herauslesen kann wird es wohl nicht weiter als 1.0 entwickelt. Wirklich Schade, ich hätte gern mehr gesehn. Der fluch des Early Acess. Mal gewinnt man mal verliert man (Als spieler) in diesem fall war der preis zum glück nicht so hoch.

The game isn't bad, and shows promise, but there just isn't much to it as it currently stands. Within 45 minutes, I'd unlocked everything I could find to unlock and kinda ran out of things to do. The game has promise, and maybe someday when there is more to it, I'll revisit the game. Right now, there's just not enough to it to really recommend it. If you have a few extra bucks and you don't mind an infinite loop of filling orders, it's kind of fun. Some day, there might be a good game here, if the devs follow through with their road map. I'll be keeping an eye on the game and seeing if it gets enough content to warrant re-purchasing.

TLDR: It's a complete student project, nothing too interesting. Rated up for effort but that's about it. The core gameplay loop is simple: gather resources, forge, and fulfill orders. There aren't puzzle solving involved nor any player skill required. The reputation system is pretty redundant as it doesn't seem to affect the game in any sensible way. In the early game where resources are scarce and without a furnace (for real) player could only let the reputation drop until zero, then there's no penalty. One can just spend few days farming resources and only then actually start playing the game. In this case, why not just give player a choice to close/open the store? And to be honest all of the game could be simplified into a text-based game as there aren't any mechanism that actually involves player interactions other than running around delivering stuff. I do understand this is a student project, which is delivered decently. But it is unfortunately quite boring. As the quote goes: "If this game is a spice, it would be flour".

Sehr lineares, langweiliges game-play. Einmal durchgespielt gibt es absolut keinen Grund, dass Spiel noch einmal anzufassen. Die Spielwelt ist uninteressant und seelenlos.

It's fine for a the price of a couple dollars that it is. It's a way to kill a couple hours. Beyond that? It's just repeating the same tasks over and over again.
