no combat? (READ BEFORE JUDGING THE TITLE...)

[SimranZenov]

Is there really no combat in the game? If so, what is there to do other than explore and expand the village? Sounds a bit boring... Can someone talk me into buying it (as in other features that make up for the lack of content)?


EDIT FOR CLARIFICATION:
I'M IN NO WAY SAYING THE GAME MUST HAVE COMBAT. I'm simply asking what other content there is. Don't reply if you don't have something useful to add...

[JayXan]

first I heard of this, no combat? I am on the same fence? is it just farmng and boring repetitive people pleasing quests? Or does something actually happen.

wtf is there really no combat?????

No combat.

I'm not that far in it but the goal seems to be evolving the tribe. You move from a water skin to a bucket and eventually to irrigation ditches not much of a spoiler you can see that in the background here. As one example. You tame animals, then learn to take them home, build a "barn" then learn to breed them to get better ones and learn to ride them, as another example. You're evolving mankind in the tribe. There's puzzle type things in the totem quests in the caves and such.

If you like farming games this is great. If you only liked stardew for the combat in the mines then this isn't for you.

if you need to be 'talked' into buying it then it's not the game for you, but no problem i'm sure you'll find loads of games you like.

Your idea of "combat" is spam clicking on slimes that repeatedly attack you until they die or you die and an NPC steals half your stuff. This is what happens on Stardew valley. I'm glad this game doesn't provide that kind of absolute garbage gameplay. If that nonsense """combat""" is what you're looking for, look elsewhere. And no I'm not going to talk you into buying the game. Not everything is about you.

Did I say what the combat should be like? No... When you make "assumptions", you make an a** out of yourself

You mfers i swear. "What? i have to do only farming in a farming game? where's my rpg combat?!"

[SimranZenov]

I never said the game MUST have combat. I asked what makes up for the lack of combat. As in, what other content is there. LEARN TO READ

[TamanduaGirl]

I know several people who only played Stardew after finding out there was combat in it, then found they enjoyed other aspects of it too once they tried it. It's understandable they might be apprehensive with a game missing an aspect that drew them to similar games. And what they like exists but it isn't this game.

Also I'm the one that brought up Stardew but I just assumed someone drawn to this who likes combat must have played a similar game like stardew that had combat.

I like the concept for evolving the tribe in a game like this as path. I've seen some evolve type games before but they all got too technical eventually and I get bored if it evolves too far. If it eventually becomes a grind for total automation then I'd lose interest. But this doesn't seem like it'll go that far and has some more mysterious things as well to keep my interest.

Also it's not just fetch quests. There's a sort of barter system where you contribute things to the tribe for good will. If you have enough good will points then you can trade them to get things from others like the inventory upgrade for example. But outside of points, most of the "fetch quests" don't feel too like it, like it's not get this for money. It's I have an idea that could help you, maybe if I had these items I could figure it out. Then they research and give you the idea.

There's also progression points that are needed separately from the contribution points(that's basically xp I think) and that helps the ideas to come unlocked.

If you remain uncertain, SharkyGames on youtube has some more advanced gameplay of it you could skim through, since most stuff you will find right now is still super early game.

Thank you for the polite and mature reply. I'm glad to hear there is a questing and economy type system, and it's not just a sandbox type game.

Thanks!

I find it weird that a caveman society has no combat . This isn't exactly civilized times

Not weird at all. Archaeological evidence suggests there wasn't a lot of collective violence in much of the paleolithic. Why, precisely, is uncertain, though there are probably multiple reasons including things like very low population density.

This.
Most tribes back then would most lilely barely if ever stumbled on another or aware of other people in diffrent regions.

And if tribes had probblems or felt threaten by another tribe that was violent they probble would have fled rather then fight.
After all they didn't have Drs and medical knowlage really so a cut could be lethal so they most likely did what ever they could to avoid getting injured witch most likely made most people back then avoid conflicts cause even if they won a fight with other tribes they could end up having there own tribe die out from injurys and or infection from injurys.

After all tribes relyed heavy on every one and if the hunters were also your warriors who protected the tribe u can imagine what would happen if they got injuryed from a tribe war dispute.

That said game wise i think devs intended a relaxing and more a cute innocent game witch i really like so far.
