WeakWood Throne

Short and clunky feeling game. Movement and combat felt stiff and just not fun for a game that has a lot of both. Game resets setting when you die/restart which was annoying. Very minimalist in design and execution. No map, just kinda walk around and do stuff as you slowly level and get towards the endgame. And since this game is minimalist, or presented that way, everything feels half-baked and unfinished. Like no real music, just occasional sound effects. AI is really dumb things just run toward you most the time and NPC dialog feels rushed. Just an unappealing game to play.

WeakWood Throne is a modest 2D action RPG that focuses on exploration, character growth, combat, and the freedom to wander through a troubled fantasy kingdom. Developed by waterxmelon and published by Drageus Games S.A., it takes a deliberately straightforward approach rather than trying to compete with enormous, system-heavy RPGs. Its smaller scale works in its favor when you want an accessible adventure that quickly gets you into exploring, fighting, gathering resources, and improving your character. The adventure takes place in the WickWood Kingdom, a land where ordinary people are struggling while dangerous beast-like soldiers have become a common sight. The kingdom's new ruler appears to be at the center of its problems, giving the protagonist a clear long-term objective: become powerful enough to uncover what is happening and eventually challenge the throne. The narrative is relatively simple and primarily serves as motivation for traveling across the world rather than dominating the experience with lengthy conversations or cinematic storytelling. Character development provides a welcome amount of flexibility. Instead of forcing the player into a single rigid combat role, t…

Although the translation is a bit off, the game is cute for it's price. I got all the achievements and completed the game 100% in my played time. It's a short game with a basic story. It's not a hard game to play, but it's a good way to spend a lazy Sunday on. I do recommend it for it's price.

THIS GAME IS ADORABLE! it won't be a "technical" review so don't read it if that's what you're looking for. The game is cute, easy to play, enemies are funny, the fact that you can be in a full plate armor and skate is silly af and I love it.

I wanted to like this game, but in it's current state it isn't finished. 1. There are the numerous posts from people with unfinishable quests, and I suffered the same fate. 2. Auto-aim is terrible, aiming yourself is worse. Not sure how I managed to get to the first boss without auto-aim 3. Attacks in generally feel sluggish & laggy. At points it'll feel like you're queueing up attacks and then you get hit by a 1-hit KO attack from the boss. 4. No maps. Grantedd at 3 hours in I have a decent idea of where everything is but after an hour I felt super lost. Overall it was alright, but I can't see myself completing it as the fighting mechanics aren't good enoug.
