Awakeroots

A fun little game. It feels a bit like Age of Empires, but instead you control a small group of villagers who need to survive against attacks. There are some interface and management issues, (It would be really helpful if villagers consumed food automatically) but these could be easily fixed by an active developer. The demo was updated very frequently, and now that the game is in early access, more consistent updates will only make the game better.

Very fun game i enjoy it alot so far

[b] obviously its not finished and there are some game mechanics and bugs to work out [/b] ...but its a great management clicker... Not a bad game I'm having fun following along with the weekly updates would recommend

The game has a long way to go, but it has the potential to be sandbox kino. For being so early in development, it's balanced very well. The premise is simple: gather resources to build slavic weapons to kill hordes of high fantasy slavic beings. Buildings don't cost very much and characters level up fast. New characters deal a fair amount of damage so there's no real consequence for your settlers dying. The game doesn't waste your time like so many other sandbox survival games. The only real problems with the game are the glitches and the fact that you can't pause time from the menus, making it hard to strategize. I feel like these issues could be easily fixed tho. I would recommend this kino at full price tbh.

Imagine an early access version of Dont Starve Together, but from the Lens of Slavic Lore.....its still a bit early, but it feels like the devs have a solid sense of how they want to develop this game. The rendering is a nice story book, hand drawn style, and the music is chill. What sets this one apart from the sea of other survival games? Well, its the fact that there isnt alot of Slavic folktale survival games and its cool to see a dev take interest in this. From this game I got Thea The Awakening vibes and Konung vibes from it. Also, there is a darkness element similar to the game, Gord, but unlike gord this game is actually interesting. If you are looking for a casual survival game, love talking to the devs, and really have an interest in some awesome folk history, I recommend you give this game a try. It is in early access though, but for the very low price its not a bad deal.

The art, the core gameplay, and the freedom the game gives you are absolutely fantastic. The fog of war system is really good too, although I do think fire only lighting up about three tiles is a bit of a tiny radius for my taste. Other than that, it's great. The combat sheep, rabbits, foxes, and basically every other animal are just fun. The game itself honestly deserves a 9/10 because the foundation is incredible, even though it's nowhere near finished. BUT... The QoL features feel like they NEVER EXISTED. THEY JUST AREN'T THERE. The controls are an absolute nightmare. It's like buying a Lamborghini that can only drive in a straight line, no brakes, no steering, no gearbox. You pull out of the garage and instantly die. That's what playing the game feels like right now. It's genuinely tragic. There is SO MUCH potential here. I can absolutely see myself sinking 1,500 hours into this game... ...BUT NOT TODAY. Today, after just two characters, the whole thing becomes a nightmare to manage. Then, with three characters, I accidentally loaded an old save instead of saving, lost my progress, closed the game, and was literally one click away from refunding it. Yes, it was techni…
