Neverliria

TLDR : Cheap and incomplete ripoff of "Kingdom". Worth its price, but don't expect a lot of challenge or fun. Concept is nice although it's just ripping off the "Kingdom" games. Game's description is mostly a lie : - There are not 20 types of buildings (unless you consider fires, chests and trees as buildings) - The only "improvements" you can make on some buildings is to add a dwarf/gnome/leprechaun (they come from the dwarf castle, live in leprechaun's home and are referred as "gnomes" or "leave". Take your pick) - There is ZERO unique items - World is NOT proceduraly generated. I started the game 4 times, all the buildings and NPC were at the very same place. The only thing that is indeed moving are the 3 trees with Phoenix eggs, everything else is static - You barely get support from your allies to fight the monsters. Finishing the human castle ends the game, and the gnomes don't fight. There is only ONE gnome that could help you if you build the blood tree, but only if you place it near the enemies (otherwise it won't fly anywhere and will be useless). - The pixel art is not "beautiful". It'snot ugly and I know it's always very subjective to judge art so make your own opini…

Neverliria is the kind of game I would have expected to play back when games were a completely new concept. I am not going to bore you with positive specifics. The game is [b] exactly [/b] as it is described. The problem is the game mechanics are so horrible it is what makes this game feel archaic and outdated. Survival is dependant on carrying each item one-by-one to whatever location you deem suitable. There are no bag systems. There is a chest you can carry with some items in it, but if you decide explore for a decent location and enemies appear, you must drop the chest, open the chest, and quickly craft a fire pit to save your life. I have no idea why you can't skip all those steps and just craft the bloody things. This is the kind of game mechanics you can expect to play and is the [b] main flaw [/b] holding Neverliria back.

I find the mechanic where things break down very quickly to not be helpful for the overall experience

A good game similar to Two Crowns with original mechanics

A rather good game. You have to manage resources at the beginning. You need to watch out for the shadows at night. It's just really well thought out. A+ job for the game overall Dev :D

[h1] Imperfect Gem [/h1] Neverliria is a cute sidescroller akin to Kingdoms but on the lighter side. Manage your hunger and basic economy while fending off the shadows at night. You are powerless against them but over time get things to help you keep the shadows at bay. I very much enjoyed the simplicity of this game, from the controls to the objectives. Didn’t take long to learn, and felt great to master. At a little over 6 hours, I have completed Neverliria along with all objectives. I write this review quite satisfied. The only real con to me is that it IS a short game. [b]Sound –[/b] Simplistic, but does its job. Music cues for hunger, day and night cycle. Never got annoying. [b]Graphics –[/b] Basic pixel game, delivering what you would expect. [b]Gameplay –[/b] Simple sidscroller, with no jumping or below ground. 1 plane, build, expand, keep the shadows at bay until you can work with other races to restore order. [b]Replay Value –[/b] Once you complete the game, none. [b]Story –[/b] Barely has one, but doesn’t need it. Casual game you can jump in and out of. If you are looking for a nice casual game on the cheap, this wont hurt. I got it for around $2 CAD an…
