Review

[Regnier, Lord of Hexter]

I can't leave a review on the store page since I lack the playtime due to a path error that comes up every time I try to play, so for now I'll leave my review here.
*Fixed it by moving game folder*


So I've just played the current 0.3EA update, and truth be told there isn't much really I can say due to how most of the mechanics seem to be not present yet. Things like quests, base management, character relations, combat, and a few other things I can't quite remember, ain't added quite yet. Judging from the intro I assume that these features will be implemented in the future, and I'm looking forward to seeing these mechanics and how they'll play out. So for now I'll just critique what is actually here right now with this 0.3EA update.

The Pros:

The character visuals and designs are pretty good.

The backgrounds for the locations are distinct, pretty, and colourful to look at.

13+ races to choose from when creating a character.

The intro lore seems interesting, looking forward to see more of the world.

You can find and meet custom (placeholder) NPCS that you can talk & trade to. You can't really do much else with them currently since they don't give any quests or bounties. They can be recruited, but there isn't a party system atm, so I guess they just ghost me?

Quite a few customisation options to choose from, each with their own stats.

The music is rather nice to listen to.

The Cons:

The UI text while exploring is a bit difficult to read at some locations, might be due to no outlining on the text, making it quite easy for the text to blend with the background image.

Not all races have unique characteristics yet. From what I recall it's Elves & Dwarfs that don't have any, and just look like normal humans.

When selecting a destination to go when travelling it won't be what's displayed. For example selecting North will actually mean South in some locations, and vice versa. Making it more confusing for me with my next point.

I get easily lost while travelling since there isn't a global map to see where I am.

There isn't really many encounters to do. If I recall it is either you meet up with a custom NPC, a monster, or a random teleportation event like a blizzard or a tsunami that just teleports you to a random location on the map.

I would like to be able to have a few more head/body types for more customisation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, there are quite a few little bugs here and there that still need ironing out,
and most of the cons can be fixed pretty easily when new updates come out. I feel like this game has got a lot of potential to be very good, potentially being one of the best adventure/story generators games to be created!

This game is ambitious, and might take a while to complete, but I'm still quite looking forward to seeing where this game goes!

Hope it goes well!
