The Wild Darkness

I love this game. Really challenging. You'll die a lot as you get the hang of things, but it gets easier with experience. Trees and bushes regrow after a few weeks, animals after a few days, so try to survive just on wooden weapons and leather/cloth armour until you can farm the first few areas comfortably and have plenty of resources. It gets easier as your skills increase and you find spells. Unidentified items seem to have a good chance to be cursed, so be careful or don't bother.

Was ready to give it 5 stars. It's actually pretty great. It doesn't push ads or try and force you you spend in game (although I did as they definitely deserve something for their efforts). It can be frustrating at first but then dying become repeatedly becomes part of the joy of it. When you get past a certain point you start to become a bit more resilient and can provide yourself with most things you need so keep at it until you get the ruins level 2 done. HOWEVER. It does give unwinable scenarios. From other peoples complaints it seems to be the same thing every time. Machine parts. They dont spawn anywhere and you cant craft them so when they are gone, they are gone. If you have used them to upgrade your benches (pretty much a requirement to progress) you can no longer complete a later mission. This I discovered after 216 days and spending all my gems. I now cant finish and will either have to start again of give up. Its a good game but not worth the grind to get back to where I am now. So down to a 1 star it goes until they fix this issue.

I really do like the game. You sure do die a lot, but it's all part of the charm. I would like a choice of gender. Plus, maybe a little bit more food. I notice Stone is hard to come by. Should get a bit more when moving Stone block. Also, the drop rate from food animals is pretty awful. I don't mind how, but a lot of the time there is nothing.
