Guardians of the Sanctree

The game is very unoptimized. I am only half way through and the game is laggy and slow, like trying to play through a pool of syrup. even in the beginning, when there was no lag, the controls are floaty like the character is swimming. there are also numerous translation errors that make trying to understand the use of many items difficult. the concept is interesting but the poor optimization leads to an ever increasing sense of frustration.

Glitches, translation errors, bad balance choices, and lack of QOL mean most people probably would avoid... Though I genuinely think these issues are overall minor despite the long list. Just minor inconveniences. over 4 months ago, the dev explained they disbanded the group due to money and etc. It's rough out there for independent indie game studios. So I wouldn't buy it expecting all the fixes in the world anytime soon. Especially not when it's down to just 1 person who may or may not have time/resources to commit to this. But if you're like me, and don't mind games with a bunch of minor inconveniences. Then it's flippin awesome. I genuinely am addicted and it's sooo cool. It's like a mashup of oxygen not included + terraria + a tower defense game. There's genuine care and effort put behind the game and if you can get over the issues, glitches and translation problems. It's really neat. At least I got it on sale, so I ain't complaining. - It's hard to understand the enemy ai... sometimes they decide to randomly nibble parts of your tunnels or break blocks that aren't even in the way... They broke the blocks beneath my turret for some reason. It's really hard to predict becaus…

I bought this game knowing the developers have a limited team working on improvements. It is a really interesting concept, but some things do not make sense, like how building block upgrades seem to come after decorations?? Also, when you start a new world, you can use your previous saved character and bring all your backpack items with you. This feels a bit weird and too OP for a fresh start, I might as well keep restarting to do better in every subsequent run. Other than that, I feel like this would be a nice game to play on a controller, but the current controls make it impossible for me to bind keys to play that way. It is understandable that a small team facing financial difficulties cannot fix everything right away. Hopefully we will see major updates soon, and I will definitely come back to play then.

game is cheap and yet still isnt really worth it
