Another Farm Roguelike: Rebirth

I’m not going to deny my absolute love of management sims. There is, for me, something deeply cathartic about making a plan, designing out an approach, gathering the resources, and doing it. I like seeing the end result and having the satisfaction of not only a plan well-executed, but of then getting to build that plan further and further into grander and grander things. I used to be a project manager, and I hated it. I’m sure there’s something to analyse there about my psyche, but this is a review of Another Farm Roguelike, and let’s be honest, neither of us wants that particular analysis. Another Farm Roguelike: Rebirth is exactly what it says on the tin. It’s a farming-themed roguelike where players design and build a farm, planting crops, raising animals, and earning money to pay an ever-increasing rent. There’s something to be said about the fact that, even in a management fantasy, we are all still beholden to the capitalist demon that is the rental economy, but that is, again, not the point, and no one but me wants that. It is worth getting one obvious truth out of the way from the outset. This is a game heavily inspired by, if not a vague parody of, Stardew Valley. Its …

It's cute but it's not worth playing.

The overall gameplay is pretty fun, but wait until there's been a few bug/UX passes before playing. The game does a good job of leaving how you min-max up to the player, and to get the most out of your run you need to spend a ton of time per day. The fortune mechanic for planning out your week is really fun. When you order things just right it can be super satisfying. When your plans shift by a day and suddenly you're eating every negative, it's cool to see the consequences of your planning. Needing to adjust your plan based on some negative keeps the game interesting. That all being said, the game is clunky in a lot of ways that are separate from the gameplay. Gameplay bugs encountered: * Before I closed the game, I saw that my crops had been watered and fully grown. In-game days are getting quite long with only 3 days left for the run, so I figured I'd come back to it later. When I loaded my save, either the bonuses from being planted next to beehives or the bonuses from the farmer perk hadn't applied, and the crops still needed an extra day to grow. This trashed my 6 hour run. UX bugs encountered: * Defaults with RMB being both consume a thing and lock the tooltip meant that…
