Weather and time of day
In the game, there are spells, runes and traps that cause more damage when it is raining. The main character can find several types of tornado scrolls.
At night, undead have more health and some characters or heroes, such as the OtherSide, become much stronger. For PvP, there are special structures that are closely tied to the dark time of the day. In addition, some spells that scare enemies are more effective in the dark.
PvP
Upon attacking an enemy forest, you have 200 seconds to destroy all enemy buildings. For each enemy structure, you receive 5 coins and 5 experience. Plus, you get honor points, rating points and other resources for a victory. For a defeat, you will lose honor points and rating. During the attack, you will have 15 unique abilities. So at level five, you will have 5 abilities during an attack. One new ability will unlock with each new level. A PvP building improves your abilities when attacking an enemy forest. There are several buildings and even creatures in the game designed to play only against each other.
There are 8 heroes in the hero pool at the moment that you can encounter in your forest. One of the heroes becomes available for attacks on enemy forests for three weeks.
This hero is available for attacking an enemy forest: Other Side
Improve and destroy
Anything in your forest can be destroyed or improved. You can improve anything in your forest after each enemy raid, from trees, mushrooms, and buildings to heroes and creatures. During battles, when a creature is directly involved in the fighting, it gains experience. Your creatures and heroes, as well as your main character gain levels in this manner. They gain 5 skill points for each level and possibly even new abilities.
Scrolls, weapons, items, plans, resources, and phials
All inventory items are divided into six types and all six types are available only during the game session.
After killing monsters, certain items often drop. They can be one of six types of resources, mana phials, health or experience, plan for a structure, one-time use magic scroll, summon tornado, trap, or something else. At the moment, there are a just over a hundred items drops in the game.
The forest
Even mushrooms and trees have a purpose in your forest. Trees can be used for more than just protection and barriers. They are very important. For every tree in your forest, all your objects, including the main character, can evade physical damage by a certain percentage. Mushrooms affect the ability to evade magic damage.
Many heroes become stronger next to trees or mushrooms, and some can even heal themselves by destroying trees.
Important: Remember that if the number of trees in your forest falls below 30, you will lose the game and have to start over.
Heroes and Higher beings
At the moment, the game has 8 heroes and 3 higher creatures, similar in nature to heroes, but do not require any resources (creatures or heroes).
Your heroes, like the rest of your creatures, can gain experience in combat. They acquire a new ability at every other level. All characters patrol your forest. The first hero arrives after reaching the fifth level.
Heroes: Imp, Otherside, Witch, Orc Traveler, Mishka, Making Money, Kaba and Winterstale.
Ancient, Evil Mushroom and Warlord. The first two creatures do not require creature resources. If an Ancient is a very expensive creature that costs a large number of resources, Evil Mushroom costs just 50 mushrooms growing in your forest. Also remember that one elder is available to you at the very beginning of the game. the Ancient and Evil Mushroom do not patrol the forest like your heroes and can obey your orders outside of combat. Both have full view of the forest. Accordingly, when battle begins, they attack the closest target. In the case of the Ancient, of course, only if it is awakened. The Warlord is a PvP-exclusive creature. You can summon him only by attacking other's forests.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players appreciate Dark Forester's peaceful atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and engaging progression system that blends tower defense, roguelike, and RPG elements, with particular praise for the developer's dedication to improving the game over time. However, the game is hampered by bugs, unpolished mechanics, and a poorly explained tutorial that makes it difficult for new players to understand the gameplay, alongside technical issues like crashes to blue screens.

There is an open forest and the player can build wherever they would like, except on the very border of the map. While progressing, more buildings unlock and there are more units to place but it's limited by your level as well.

It's basicly base building plus an MMO plus an RPG except the base is a forest. Devoted developer which is more than can be said about most stuff these days. slow but steady progress. Have had a lot of fun with it. Game has finally been over-hauled and brought to full released. Amazingly immersive world and quite a unique little game. Have yet to get tired or bored with it and the game has gotten better and better over time with the Developer's hard work and dedication to seeing it reach it's full potential. Can't go wrong with this little gem if you are into it's genre elements.4 found this helpful

I take my hat off to this woman! She’s running on hills all the time! And she’s not even drunk, cause I can stay on hills all night exclusively after 4-5 cocktails! She’s perfect. But this is not the only thing I adore about her – she’s such a typical woman! Almost as I Am just smarter sometimes! Panicking, hiding in the strange places and turn out dead, screaming, whining that she’s tired hahaha. I think all men will like it – like the great illustrations of their favorite stereotypes)) Great pity she hasn’t got the car, cause she’s also blond you know ;D Graphics is really cool, I was pleased with growing in the moments of danger music. And what’s the most important – plot and atmosphere are wonderful. Scaring and interesting at one time. Try it! 10/10!1 found this helpful
