Village Tale

Very quick game to 100% if you have it running on a computer that runs over night. In less than 3 days having it running in the background and you have 100% of the achievements, just remember to do the festival runs later since they are time limited and should be ran as often as you can. After you get certain buildings, you can easily just let it idle to complete most challenges, I barely ever did click the wagons and try to bring up the price, was not worth getting a measly 50% increase to the price....and if you activate the auto accept quest, the game just keeps running and generating money for you. As far as the review of it goes though: I want to start off with mentioning that this IS a casual game, so I get why some people can find my review a bit over the top for this type of idler, but I see a lot of potential in the game, but it feels like it was rushed or they lost interest in the concept. It's a fun cute village simulator, works well, no issues with settings. Gameplay mechanics were a bit boring, but it is in the end just a simulator. I wish there were more interactions with the villagers themselves though and that you had to recruit and maybe name them, maybe they had…

I like idle games as a tool to take breaks while working, this does not feel like an idle game. It is too fast, too small and can easily turn into micromanaging. I feel like I have completed the game in 2-3 days and have way too much money. All the things that I personally enjoy about idle games is lacking here and it feels like an early access game that still needs to be finished. Very disappointed and wish I could return it. For me, wanting a true idler, this game feels overpriced and unfished. If you just want to see little people wander around and work and get a sense of completion very quickly then this might be for you.

It's a cute game. The progression is pretty smooth. You can easily finish the game (i.e., build all structures and unlock all goods) in 10 hours or so, if you play actively. But it's pretty fun. If you play idle more, it takes longer. But this is the kind of game where you have to let go of optimization and just let it flow. Place your buildings and decorate around them. Once your village is making steady money, you can do whatever you want and build something new whenever it unlocks.

What happened?

Chill idle game, loved the city building (needs a bit of QoL) but its a very small part as most of the time is spent afk. Engame is lacking as it has very little content and is less polished.

Very nice chill game to keep in the corner of my screen, I enjoy the customisability and the development
