This game is inspired by Valheim, it has a lot of the same mechanics such as: bosses, information stones in the wilderness and even some of the mobs. It also has the visual style of Palworld, but I don't think that was intentional.

The world of this game is bland and honestly boring. Unlike Valheim where the world feels like a character in itself, this world is full of nothing. Valheim feels like you were dropped INTO a world and have to survive, this world feels like it was CREATED FOR YOU to survive. It's a small difference but anyone who plays the game should understand what I mean.

My main issue with the game though, is the coding. The coding language is akin to Scratch, its a drag-and-drop language where you use code blocks to create code. The language isn't bad by any means, and is actually a great choice for anyone to jump into; whether you're a beginner or work as a programmer. My issue with the coding language is how LIMITED IT IS. When I brought this game I was hoping that the coding aspect would change the gameplay completely, allowing me to bend the world to my whim. It doesn't. For example lets say I wanted to create an army of tree felling fiends to destroy every tree in a 100ft radius of my base, for easier building. I can't do that. What about a military unit that patrols the area and fights off monsters, nope can't do that either. The game doesn't give you the tools to create what YOU want to, it gives you the tools to create what THE GAME wants you to. Because of this the programmable helpers are nothing more than a conveyor belt with extra steps. They can harvest, build tools or plant crops for you and then also store stuff, and that's really it. At that point I don't even understand what the point of adding the coding into the game was if it's basically useless.

I want to be able to create an army of helpers that destroy my foes, I want to create a convoy that transports wares between my towns, I want builders that I can program to create entire cities, I want to code shopkeepers who trade items for currency. If we were given the tools that allow for more freedom instead of just glorified conveyor belts this game could become one that has near endless replay-ability.

However as it stands now, the game isn't worth anyone's money. If you read this and think "it still sounds like fun" then buy it, but to everyone else I would say give it a few months or maybe even years and see how it is then.

4/10

Omega Crafter has great potential. I enjoyed my time playing it.

The game play itself reminds me a lot of Valheim, mixed with cute little helpers.
Don't worry, you don't need any coding skills to get them to work. It might need a little bit of trial and error but it's not so complicated. And once your home city is thriving you need to grind, grind, grind... for the materials to get stronger. :)
Combat can be really punishing if you try a fight too early. :D

This game has a lot of potential! I love the open world, the degree of freedom, and especially the cute little bots! I can't wait to see more future updates! I'm so happy with the game, even if it's still in early access.
