Tinker-World: Arrival at Kedhreon

I've played this for just 2,5h as I write this. At first I was lost on where to go but very fast I got hooked in just exploring more, looking for food and loot on the field. But the coolest and most interesting I've stumbled across so far was when I entered a first-person dungeon to explore for even better loot. I have reached level 7 and will soon go to level 8 I think. Been in some battles but I haven't died yet! Will absolutely dive into this game more. Cool adventure in a retro-style my old bones was craving for even if I didn't knew it before. Looking forward to see more updates and maybe an even bigger adventure. I wish the quests would tell me where to go to get the reward when done, but I guess it's a part of the exploration. Overall a very interesting game and the more time you play it the more you wanna explore. Great writing and interesting towns, villages and people to meet! I deeply recommend this game! Indie games are taking over! Retro gaming are still STRONG!

Pretty cool game. I refunded because it's not what I am looking to sink my life into at this moment. It has a very good retro feel to it and hunting for items to make stuff, foraging for food, etc. is a really cool system because you have to keep at it. Going offroad takes a lot out of you and you need to stock up to adventure. I may come back to it in a month or so to give it another go. It is quite fun.

Game is deeper than it looks on the first sight. I have to make time for this! If you love old school RPGs with retro vibes where player needs to find out p.s. Soundtrack rocks!!

Just scratching the surface and already hooked — 2 hours in If you grew up grinding through Ultima or Wizardry and miss that era of RPGs that actually respected your intelligence, Tinker-World is giving off some serious old school vibes — with a fresh coat of paint on it. This isn't nostalgia bait, it's a genuine tribute to that philosophy. Two hours in and I'm still figuring things out, and honestly that's part of the charm. No hand-holding tutorials, no waypoint markers babysitting you through every step. You land in the Northern Regions, equip your knife and armor, and figure it out. The world throws Encounters, Discoveries, and Assaults at you and you deal with them — or don't. I learned the hard way that vitality and health are two different things, and ignoring that distinction will get you wrecked fast. The open world turn-based exploration mixed with dungeon crawler mode when you dive into locations is a satisfying combo. Foraging for food, managing your inventory weight, watching your coin situation — these feel like real systems, not checkbox mechanics. Even in 2 hours I could feel that there's a lot of depth baked in here waiting to be uncovered. Hardcore? Absolutely. The devs themselves admit they've never finished it, which tells you everything. But there's a casual mode if you want slightly more breathing room without losing the core experience. At under $8 during the launch discount (and under $10 full price), this is not a cash grab. Two indie developers clearly poured real time and craft into this. Give it a look if you want something that actually challenges you.

Tinker World is a true old-school RPG experience with a classic feel and a unique world. The combat, loot, and crafting systems work well and add real depth to the game. Exploration feels rewarding and engaging. It’s not an easy game – and that’s exactly what makes it so addictive. A true hidden gem for retro RPG fans. And works on SteamDeck :)

Egy igazán hangulatos retro játék, tele felfedeznivalóval és titkokkal. A nyílt világ sok lehetőséget kínál, különösen az RPG rajongók számára. A fejlesztők láthatóan sok munkát tettek bele, ami meg is látszik a végeredményen.

It is a really good game but there are some oportunities to improve, for example the inventories slot are too little for me and maybe more visual effect would be nice

Addictive. Some things could be improved, but in general it's not bad. Worth the money if you're into these kind of games (like me!)

If you're tired of games that hold your hand, then Tinker-World: Arrival at Kedhreon is the breath of fresh air you've been looking for! This game perfectly captures the retro style of classic RPGs, offering a challenging experience that doesn’t spoon-feed you instructions. It respects your intelligence and lets you explore and discover the world on your own terms. I love that it’s not telling you straight what to do — it’s truly something for hardcore players who enjoy figuring things out themselves. The developers have clearly poured passion into creating an authentic, retro-inspired experience. Highly recommended for fans of old-school, hardcore RPGs who want a game that challenges and respects them!
