MORE INFO
At the moment there are over 10 unique monsters that you can fight. Each monster plays a different role during an attack, so that defense requires more strategy. Current monster types: Ranged, Magic, Melee, Charging, Tanking, Supportive and Biome monster
We can develop our character by collecting experience from killing monsters.
For now character can reach a maximum level of 54 and with each level the player can choose a new passive or active skill.
The character can also upgrade his sword. For this, you need a blacksmith's building and certain raw materials. The sword looks different with each new level and has more attack and greater range of damage.
The player can hire workers as soldiers. At the moment, the wishlist offers 3 types of soldiers: Archer, Swordman and Witch. The game offers the possibility of upgrading soldiers. Only Archer can be upgraded one level at the time of the wishlist.
Archer is a type of ranged defensive unit who can additionally climb towers and avoid direct contact with monsters.
Swordman is a melee unit that effectively blocks monsters.
Witch is an supportive unit. Heals wounded units, but also prays to the gods and accelerates plant growth.
The game offers 5 categories of buildings, of which there are currently 3 buildings in each category. The building categories are: Houses, Farming, Industry, Defense, and Faith. To build a building, you need a certain amount of resources and free space.
Buildings can be upgraded, however, they require more rare resources, which can be purchased by trading with other settlements or obtained as a gift from a traveling merchant.
At the moment the game offers 22 different resources. Raw materials have a different value depending on the rarity, but this value is not constant, so you can sometimes buy the same goods cheaper or more expensive.
The player can hire employees to perform various jobs. However, the employee has needs. The employee may be hungry and crave specific food. The worker must have a place to sleep and may need to pray to a desired god.
If you are able to meet the needs of your employees, they will be happy and you will receive fame points. Fame Points can also be obtained by trading with other settlements.
Currently the fame points unlocks the ability to trade with other settlements.
I hope you will have a good time playing Amber Trail. Have fun!

This game could have been good. At least is cheap, but it isn't complete. There is no ending and some of the material is no even usable for anything. Once you get the sword all the way upgraded, good defenses build, and can get to both ends of the map, there is nothing to do but repeatedly defend the town. It is very similar to Kingdom from 2015, except this one was abandoned before programming any way to win (stop the monster attacks) and there is nothing important on the sides of the map and there are not nearly enough resources to build the town except you can farm unlimited food and trade for the other resources very slowly. Was really hoping the game would go somewhere. At least it is really difficult early on. Not too bad of a price (got for $1.24 on sale), but it isn't worth the time I spent playing when I can play something else instead. My time is pretty high since I left it on for a day paused while I was away from the PC.
It's a fun little Tower Defense. However there isn't a lot of progression so after a certain point the only reason the play is to unlock the last couple achievements.
Amber Trail is enjoyable. The death of the hero is not only inevitable, but it's going to happen quite a bit. However, you'll quickly discover that it isn't a big deal. The stats transfer onto the next hero, and as long as your towers stand, you shouldn't have trouble progressing through the game. The tutorial is somewhat bare, so I suggest reading the past developer notes about functions which have been added (I suspect the tutorial was made before many of the features were added). One big thing to remember is you need to force unemployed villagers to feed the archers. Otherwise, they will totally let them starve. Play this game. It's fun. You'll probably kind of suck at it at first.
After a while the game becomes repetitive. This situation is quite annoying.
Great game considering it's pretty much in alpha and only has one guy working on it so far.
This game was recommended to me because I liked Kingdom but, although they look similar, they do not PLAY the same. In Amber Trail your hero directly participates in combat, so the game has a substantial action element to it. The only gripe I had with the original game was that you spent so much time fighting that you couldn't explore and enjoy the base-building side of things, but that was addressed in the 1.1 update with the introduction of an 'Easy' mode that makes attack waves less frequent. I'm not a hardcore hack-and-slasher myself, so having more time between waves is a blessing — the game is much more 'balanced' now. Kudos to the developer!
