It looks fun at first, but then you quickly realize there's very little content or challenge. Similarly, there is very little incentive in actually improving your tavern beyond early number cheesing. It takes about 3-4 hours to see all the content, and after that you're just left wondering, "what am I doing here? why am I not playing something else?"

Tavern Tycoon or Tavern Tyyawn?

I gave this game a solid 12-hour shot, and it turns out… that’s pretty much all there is to see. It starts off strong—you’re running a cute little tavern, hiring staff, cooking food, pouring drinks. Life is good. But once the place is running smoothly, the game kind of shrugs and says, “That’s it, you’re done. Cheers.”

There’s no real challenge after that point. No twists, no chaos, no surprise goblin invasions (missed opportunity, devs). Just a rinse-and-repeat grind: one spot to serve food, one for drinks, one to sit, and then copy-paste that formula for the guest rooms. You hire staff, level them up so they move faster… and then stare at them wondering if you’ve secretly become a medieval micromanager.

It looks nice and runs well, but it’s got the emotional range of dry toast. This is the kind of game you keep in your library, stare at when you’re bored, and then immediately remember why you stopped playing it the first time. If you do hit “Play” again, you’ll probably have an existential moment and ask, “Why am I doing this to myself?”

I was eyeing Blacksmith Master next, but if it’s the same grind in a different hat, I might just go outside or something. Scary thought.

Game is fun, look nice, have interesting loop(at first) but there should be faster time speed bcs 80% of time you just waiting to gain money, unlock new research or to finish adventures so you can hold partys which helps you with research. If there was something to do during day it would certainly help.

If developers gonna add faster time speed ima gonna change review.(i hope that time speed is not engine or code limitations)
