Not recommended Sep 6, 2026
I know it's not a bad game, but I think they focused too much on certain aspects of the gameplay and forgot about others. The combat, for example, is repetitive and boring, and the time slowdown when you hit an enemy is pretty annoying. The map is big and confusing, and the core gameplay loop is basically just collecting materials and defeating enemies. Because of this, exploring without a clear direction just to upgrade your village gets boring quickly. I did like the NPCs, even though they don't make much of a difference in the actual progression and are just there for the lore.

Wheelborn has some interesting ideas on paper, but unfortunately, it suffers from a lack of polish, clunky mechanics, and a dull progression system. The gameplay loop quickly becomes repetitive and fails to hold your attention, and the technical issues make the overall experience frustrating rather than fun. Because it misses the mark on execution and engagement, I can't really recommend i

A great indie gem, the platforming feels fantastically fluid and the story is really nice, I strongly reccomend it to anyone who has an hour or two of free time, you won't regret it!
