Reviews
Cool little game. Finished the main story in less than two hours. It has a nice flow to the main story with some side missions. Experienced one crash and had some wonkiness with the controls when cleaning the dirt and hunting for the treasure but nothing too bad. Would have liked to maybe have more upgrades or stuff to spend money on as you can find a lot of treasure on the maps. Overall it was a nice little game. I played it on steam deck.
It's a cute little game. I beat the main story in about 2 hours, and you can get more gameplay out of it than that if you aim to get all the collectables. The insect that pops out is fun. I like the upgrades. It has some satisfaction that kept me entertained. It's short and snacky, so keep your expectations in that area and I think it's a fun afternoon. Some things I'd like to see for it: a quest involving the [spoiler] dog's ID tag [/spoiler] would be fun to see. And more things to buy would be nice. An upgrade for the shovel that makes its digging area bigger would be cool! Personally, I'd up the price of the upgrades, too, to make it feel especially earned. Also, I like the soldier's story reveal. A lot of cozy-type games insist on only happy emotions, avoiding more nuanced mixed feelings in their story. I know it wasn't very deep, but I encourage that!
