Village Tale

This is one hell of a slow idle game. This is the kind of idle game where you open it in the morning, close it at night and pay no attention between those times. Kinda makes you wonder why you bothered paying money for it to be honest. I know it's cheap... but there are games cheaper than this that are far more worth your time. Let's start with my biggest issue. A lot of these games let you go full screen, even though it's one of those dinky little bottom of the desktop games. This one does not. As a result, the font in the game is TINY. I cannot read it without moving my seat closer to the screen. Which means I can't recline.... Just imagine if my eyesight was bad. So basically to play this game, you need good eyesight. (Edit to add, you can change the font to a less pixely one, making it bolder and easier to read. Definitely helps. But I'd still rather make the game easier to see.) Secondly, it's boring. Right out the gate, very start of the game, for hours you will have nothing to do. From the start to the end of an entire episode of Stargate, I got one building built (Not a ring that sends me to other planets, disappointingly.) and one bit of land extended. Was it worth it? Well, no. The building didn't really help in the money making process and the land extension despite it's cost, doesn't do anything till you put buildings in it. Which makes sense, it's just boring. Finally. The game doesn't know whether it's an idle game or not. Click on the accept button for the trades? Why not just..... trade, do it now. I don't need to haggle, just go away. This is a game, where you have nothing to do, for hours.... but you have to keep checking back every couple minutes to click accept. Which is extremely boring. Because quite frankly the game isn't worth looking at. Nothing is happening. People are walking around carrying boxes. Great... I'd far rather have a better more interesting game on my screen. To that end. I cannot recommend this. It's not fun. Oh, two more issues. If you close the game before you finish the "tutorial" it's not really a tutorial, it tells you very little about what's going on or what everything means... Well, the tutorial is gone forever. You have to start a new game to get that achievement. Yay? Thankfully there are three save slots... so you're not totally screwed. Additionally, the cursor is slightly offset, it clicks to the right of it. Which is really annoying and there's no hardware cursor option. Thanks for reading, or skipping to the end. Whether or not you agree, have a lovely day. <3 Sigh... another edit. I did decide to keep playing to get all the achievements. Well I've found another bug. The haggle slider has a delay. Haggle is a minigame similar to blacksmithing in fable 2. Click the button when the dot is over the green. It moves fast across a bar. Well... it has a heavy delay. Another edit... There's an achievement that is extremely hard to get. You have to click on something, that is only clickable in an extremely tiny amount of area, because of both the cursor offset, and the fact that your menu covers most of the button.... THere is no way to move the menu. Seriously... This pissed me right off. The last 14 hours of gameplay, has been me sat waiting for achievements. I've fully upgraded everything, it's just waiting. There's nothing I can do to speed it up.... I can only wait.
