rokaplay is the epitome of mediocrity. they only published this one but it fits their portfolio perfectly. birds of a feather and subpar devs and publishers flock together. essentially a mobile game, like every title they ever made or published, that looks like it's missing most textures (grass, rock, etc.) and even after a complete revamp of pretty much every mechanic and system (admirable effort if nothing else), it's still not fun to play.
basic controls, like selecting items from the toolbar, are unnecessarily finicky, that alone was reason enough not to bother with the full version. I was a fool and complete the demo twice, once the original, then the updated one, because there are things I like or would like if it was a decent experience overall. combat is a joke (a single attack, no dodge, block or anything), cooking is trial & error, movement and exploration are still a pain even after removing energy consumption for some actions. running out of energy means you'll pass out and get teleported home.
I don't mind playing mobile games on pc, as there are a lot of cool concepts and I prefer a bigger screen and kb/m controls, but this is simply too basic and lacking to be worth bothering with, not to mention they're selling it for $20, crazy. however, if you're going to jump in, might as well start here, as this is a rare example of an actual progolue, not just the first hour of the full game. you won't miss anything (except the map from the full game), but might as well get some extra content.
