Tile Miner

Abandonware.

my mom got me this in 2015 just so i could be able to add friends on steam. i was like 11, and i didnt know steam offered cheaper (and better) games. genuinely have no idea wtf this is tho, will give a thumbs up cuz its my first steam purchase

I don't recommend the game at this time because keyboard controls can't be rebound and there is no controller support. This is a fully released (i.e. not early access) PC game and I want to be able to change how I control it. I look forward to playing and updating this review once the issue is resolved. I'm aware of AHK, reWASD, and other similar software, but they all have drawbacks that I don't want to deal with.

I recommend this game with two warnings: Only if its on sale for less than 5 bucks Only if you don't mind an abandoned but mostly complete game. Tile miner is entertaining, story light game. It can keep your attention for a couple of hours. The only real glaring problem that I saw was that the game will punish you for dying. Very harshly. The chosen mechanic is that every time you die you will lose a permanent point in one of your 3 stats- life, magic and energy. The problem is, off course, that this make surviving harder, so the enemies that just killed you, will now be even harder to kill. Not sure that this is a great mechanic and ultimately is what got me to stop playing the game. As I made it to the underground and couldn't find enough copper to upgrade my armor, but harder enemies that tele jump on you kept respawning and I died so much that it became impossible to continue. If you enjoy a very hard challenge- try it out.

Where to begin? I love the graphics and game play. I try my hardest to support indie developers. But this game has problems. Starting with the constant CTD's in the dungeons. I'd be willing to put up with that if the game had a proper save system, being able to do a quick save or have multiple saves not a save on exit or a auto save overwriting your last save. I was half way through the Earth dungeon and collected a large key needed to finish the dungeon. Then I got a CTD and when I reloaded the game the key had vanished, not in my inventory or in the chest where I found it. So guess what pal? you are screwed! No way to open the locked doors. 20 plus hours of game play just got flushed down the crapper!! I just don't have the time or energy to start a new game. I'll find something else to play. Unless the developer addresses these problems I can't recommend this game.

i liked some of the features of the game but it got boring real quick.
