I like a lot about this game, its simple management sim type but fun... yet i still cannot recommend it due to the frustrating nature of it. Despite its simple nature, things like enemies in this game are impossible to deal unless you know exactly what to do. The bow system is wacked and the characters have a really hard time aiming at anything unless its the perfect distance away and standing completely still. This annoying precision means if you get attacked by the nighttime enemies you have to personally babysit the character trying to kill the enemy, since when directed to attack your towns people will not be smart enough to run away and will just stand perfectly still and always die. The only reliable ways to protect yourself is through walls, which take a while to build unless you make an extremely small base, or watch towers, which only has a small limited reach to attack from. You are unable to just wait out the night safely as your people will starve to death extremely fast if you have more than 7 or so people. All your characters will die from a single hit by a enemy, it is hard to run away from enemies without doing personal imput on every character, enemies are very fast and take multiple hits to defeat, the enemies will spawn on the exact same spot than the night before if not defeated and if you get unlucky and have villagers hanging around that previous area, it is easy for them all to instantly get wiped out the moment night hits. The game misdirects you with a chill simple time then hits you with wanky physics and very tanky skeletons. Each playthrough is also veeeery slow, even when a speed up button exists. Often you might find yourself 10-20 days into a save, only to get hit with sudden starvation not being able to do anything about it as youre trying to hide from enemies, or just generally get killed by the skeletons themselves. Not to even mention sometimes you just have a bad spawn with multiple bone piles near you and no water, making the run basically useless. This game would benefit immensely from either de buffing enemies / having a difficulty more, or adding more ways to defend yourself & attack, as the current basic mechanics are not good enough to feel fair. This is somewhat a personal issue, but I am not unfamiliar with difficult games, it just feels disappointing when the difficult aspects of a game do not feel fair, instead leaving you very annoyed. I did not have fun with this game, and i think thats the harshest criticism a game can get
