Goblins of Elderstone

122 hours played, I would have recommended it before 100%, not now 1. The immersion is not longer there, they just drop you into it, before you could chose your gods try to get a map you want but now you can't. 2. It feels like I don't have a choice, I know not all games give you a choice but now it's play how they like mainly one path and its broken. 3. The game is broken, before the randomizer was great, It help with unplayable map generation, now they just give you the map and you have to hope you get a good one. 4. It's just unplayable now if they make the 1.0 version a new game I would buy it, this game it's unrecognizable in a bad way, and I feel like the thing they removed to "fix the game" were the ones making the game fun, and the balance it's straight up broken as you could not win it. It was a fun game but now It is not worth it, the old version was really immersive and fun now it's non of the above.

2.0 did change a lot and not for the better, but I liked the way raids used to work. Now it randomly picks goblins never to be seen again and for trivial resources making raiding seem way too costly and pointless. Some resources don't respawn enough making the only way to get them, is by buying them from the merchant. The balance seemed really off like I had the resources but the goblins wouldn't do anything because they weren't happy enough even though I had everything, I dunno if it was because time was too fast or they walked too slow, but it could take an entire season just to walk across a few tiles and back to get one resource. This was one of my favourite games and I want to keep loving this game because goblins, it was great despite the bugs, but 2.0 broke it.

it's tough but it's also cute, it's frustrating but it's also rewarding, I fail most of the time but I keep coming back :)

I have been playing this game on and off since it came out. Had to take a long break from playing it due to needing a new pc. The game has had issues from the begining yet a lot of charm that came with it, I was hoping that as the game developed the issues would be resolved. Yet having played the newest version of the game, it's clear that the game play has worsened and all charm has been removed entirely. The options and uniqueness that the game used to have for set up has all been gutted out of the game, the turtorial has declined and is incorrect. I only managed to survive playing having previous knowlegde of the game and could there for see the game mechanic issues built into the current version of the tutorial. This is a game I used to speak fondly of despite all it's issues. It is no longer a game I'd recommend. Save your money and get something like Knights of Honor instead.

Until they fix where I can change my layouts, I only need to switch Q and E for rotation, then I am giving them a negative review. There are many things broken in this game and the fact key bindings are broke speaks volumes.

this is a good game
