Spirits of The Silicium Forest

Очень приятная, компактная игра для всех любителей поломать голову над тактикой по вечерам. Про нее я узнал из ТГ-канала "НАШЫ ИГРЫ", за что ему большое спасибо, иначе пропустил бы эту маленькую жемчужину российской инди сцены. Игра привлекла свои описанием мира - сочетание древнего общества и высоких технологий. Нечасто такое встречается в наше время. Приятные сюрпризы продолжились, когда разработчик связался напрямую и предложил ключ. Но я отказался, так как считаю, что надо поддерживать хорошие начинания не только словами, но и деньгами. Сразу же после первого запуска очень порадовал графический стиль, очень способствующий быстрому погружению в атмосферу вселенной - пост-апокалиптический мир ацтеков в смеси с высокими технологиями. А саундтрек от команды Tyagotenie идеально в нее вписался. По механикам игра представляет из себя смесь пошаговой тактики с РПГ и карточным рогаликом. Смесь, не сказать, чтобы совсем необычная, но вот ее реализация здесь довольно нестандартна. Вместо колоды карт у нас всего один герой, которому мы подбираем умения для достижения максимальной эффективности в бою. При этом в самом бою необходимо уделять много внимания позиционированию на поле боя и …

Please release the OST. The game is great bthw.

Optimization bug. Legion 7 pro + win11 = 13 FPS at campaing mode. In rogulite mode works fine

It’s getting a thumbs up. Context: I’ve played hundreds of hours of Slay the Spire, Griftlands, Monster Train, Hades, and other roguelike deckbuilders and character-builders. The Good: 1. The game introduces enough unique mechanics and fresh ideas to carry its runtime. 2. The story is engaging. 3. The visuals are unique, vibrant and fit the tone. 4. It’s clearly a labor of love from a passionate, creative dev. The Not-So-Good: 1. It’s missing key refinements to be a hidden gem: which is disappointing because it almost is. 2. The dialogue needed another pass—some modern/casual phrases break immersion. 3. The art leans a bit into NSFW-adjacent territory. Not necessarily bad, but it stands out. 4. The roguelike elements feel underdeveloped—too many repeated enemies/bosses and unbalanced mechanics. Verdict: Despite its rough edges, the game’s fresh ideas and passion make it worth your time if you enjoy the genre. You won’t regret experiencing it. I’ll be keeping an eye on this dev and looking forward to future releases.

I would not recommend it, as the skills and relics have no names, only a small image and it really kills the immersion. Other than that, the mechanics are unique but that interesting to continue without worldbuilding through lore. I did finish the tutorial campaign, and it was well over 2 hours, so there was no way to refund it. But the world and options don't seem that interesting. I will finish my roguelike run, but I had to stop because I started with the same skills as the tutorial, and the shop allowed me to spend my money on upgrading and downgrading the same skill, thus spending 60% of my gold. The only reason I clicked that many times is that I wanted to figure out if the skills upgrade every time, but no they down and then upgrade themselves. Why would I want to pay for downgrading something? Also why would the game not tell me that it will upgrade and downgrade it? You have to figure out everything on your own, even things that should not be that way. It is bad design and annoying, the UI terrible in that regard, and thus the UX as well since I cannot recommend even the gameplay.

It's neither a bad nor a good game, but at $10 I think it's worth the money. It's got good concepts and interesting mechanics which are fun to explore. The trouble comes in their execution: it just feels so horribly clunky to pull off any meaningful combos -- it feels very restricted in such a way that pulling off a combo feels more like an errand than an accomplishment. Also the story is boring. It's not something you'll sink a ton of time into, but it's got enough interesting stuff going on to be worth the price I think.
