"Gacha" for broke

Too long to produce, too short to consume.
But not so bad, since we can use 120x speed.
Nothing really stands out overall, but still an OK game.

Good city builder and management game with a bad tech tree, but flexible production chains that can be tweaked with mods. Yet, the default settings are recommended. Have to repeat it many times and try sandbox mode before fully understanding it and enjoying extreme difficulty.
And there’s a Mosque in it, so the citizens can TAKBIR together!
Sankore Madrasah/10.

The Studio Director's full auto features are nice, especially when automate all small game releases, updating, and porting.
The dev is good and still actively updating it up to this day (I mainly play on the Beta Branch, so I can get update much faster), but easier UI/UX information would help.
But other than that, this is worth the money.
Overall gg/10.

I can’t recommend this game at its current stage.
Well, it's still in EA, but there are too many bugs and several downgraded features compared to Winkelje.
I have three save files.
1. The first one works fine.
2. The second one, I skipped the tutorial and got stuck that I couldn’t harvest anything because the button didn’t respond when clicked.
3. The last save, I tried playing the tutorial again, but it was broken. Even after completing the objectives, the progress stuck and impossible to continue.

This game is a little too expensive for its current features, gameplay, and length, even with the latest discount.
Still, gooning/10 anyway.

No cap, this game really stole my time.
After finishing the game and unlocking all the achievements, here are a few things worth pointing out:

1. Life System
“Life” (aka Job/Class) is what you pick at the start, but later on you can switch freely and even master all of them.
This is the core of the fun. Leveling up, learning new skills, and exploring all play styles.
Except when it comes to end game equipment. That is where the hell begins.

2. Treasure Grove
One of the main dungeon types. The layout and contents are completely RNG.
Some bosses and gathering spots can only be found inside the grove, and you’ll need a ton of materials from them.
You’ll often need to join random multiplayer runs if you don’t want to waste too many saplings, especially when RNG is ♥♥♥♥.
But random parties can be frustrating too. A lot of players just show up to leech, and sometimes the host ends the exploration halfway.
Not in every run, but it happens.

3. Ginomorsia and Legendary Weapons/Tools
A huge area with lots of content, and even more RNG.
You have to raise its region level to unlock specific bosses or gathering nodes, which is so damn slow.
You’ll need specific rare materials that only drop from specific bosses or gathering spots which locked behind more RNG.
Even after getting the drop, you might need to farm it multiple times, and reset multiple times to get what you wanted.

It’s fun at first when learning how to play, grinding, progressing through the story, and more.
But it gets boring fast in the end game. So much so that it wasn't grinding anymore, but feels like chores.
I paid full price for this game, but so many aspects feel like a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ gacha game,
you have to wait a REAL 5 minutes for bosses to respawn,
some items can only be obtained once per REAL day,
and so many materials or recipes are locked behind hellish RNG.

Love and hate are just slightly above 5 cm per second in this game.
Either love it to the core, or hate it with a passion.
Tons of familiar faces from past series bring that sweet nostalgia, but the grinding is straight-up insane if the goal is to hit 100% in just one playthrough.
Overall, it's a chill game where we can step away, do other stuff, then jump back in anytime.
10/10.

Travellers Rest: the travellers can hang out and rest, but the owner doesn't even have time to rest.
8/10.

BUKAN GAME BOLA! ALAY TOLOL SAMPAH!
