Nice vision but at the moment it's too far. You want to be a farmer? Ok, here's the tool but we'll implement farming in the distant future. I would wait for a couple of years and see if it's still in development. Sometimes these "why don't we make the game ourself" gamer companies have a good vision about the game but lack skills to finish it and the result is something different. Wait at least until you are sure you don't miss the money invested. I don't miss the money but I've got too many games I regret buying. Refund and re-buy at the later time.

It seems the devs stopped to support the game, so in the actual state it's absolutely not recommended to buy ... unfinished and not enough content!



The most important at first, it's still an early access game, just launched (out of development alpha) and not much ingame hints are available ... so it's quite unfair to downrate with playtime below 1 hour.

My rating so far after a few hours ingame and playing also coop with a friend.

Pro:
+ Interesting crafting system (i. e. individual weapon design)
+ Positional based fighting system (but at the moment a little bit clunky)
+ Coop for up to 4 players works quite good (but not many players / games available)
+ Fast responding and so far highly motivated dev team
+ Graphic is okay - but more options needed (i. e. loading distance of objects / textures)
+ Citys / villages feel quite good populated
+ Day / Night cycle & survival elements

Con:
- No quest system so far
- No vioce dialogs (just text boxes)
- Only liniar skill tree
- No real character progression - except through crafting
- No aggro management (last hit = aggro)
- No weight for inventory (just very limiting 30 slots / and no stacking of necassary items - i. e. food)
- Small world / content
- World feels outside of villages / cities empty (just a few mobs)

Summary:
It's not finished and polished, but for the stage of the development and considering the small team, it's already quite nice and mostly bug free (at least no game breaking bugs). So if you want to work together with the dev team to get the game better from a solid base - I recommend it - but be aware that the actual content is not overwhelming (~ 25 hours exploring / leveling / crafting gameplay)

After a long search through the steam list trying to find a new co-op game to play with a friend, I stumbled upon this game. At first, I thought I was too good to be true, and for now it kind of is. The game is very very fun, there’s just not a lot to it at the moment. Lacking in some aspects, such as monsters, loot drop rate, combat mechanics, etc, but overall very very good for where they are in development.

My recommendations:
-Add stats to gear besides just the “defense” and “attack”. Things such as slash, or stab defense, and slash and stab attack effectiveness.
-Add more gear options such as weapons and armor.
-Increase drop rate on large monsters. The game seems to not care of the difficulty of the kill, and rewards you the same for killing a Giant Crab as it does for killing a sheep.
-Decease fall damage.
-Make the world a little more interactive, with less invisible walls keeping you out of random sections.
-Allow for the changing of hotkeys.
-Add a quest line

Other than that stuff this game has so much potential. I’m glad I made the purchase, and hope to see this game continue to get better and better.

Incredibly broken game. Research has shown the developer has more than likely abandoned the game. Do not buy this at full price if you are really interested in it. I had a lot of trouble on the tutorial and I just do not have the patience to keep trying to make it work.

The trouble I'm talking about is glitches that will send you flying off the side of the ship, and then you have to start all over again. Very frustrating. Play something else.

Splurted review for public eyes.

Little to no survival, enemies and so forth. Your main goals will be working towards crafting gear so you can look pretty. I haven't played since March but I can tell you the world is pretty dead despite towns.

Coop is fairly stable and lots of fun but again there's nothing to do. You wander around without a real goal, kill one enemy (Maybe two or three now) get lost at a dead end then return home to craft some more.

There's a few areas that area a lot of fun and mostly populated. One of these areas is the desert and boy golly you will be trapped there forever unless you came equipped. I remember at some point we ran out of light or broke our weapons deep inside some cave.

There is no base building, I believe you eat but it's not 100% necessary.

Not really interested in hopping back in just wanted to destroy these devs for failing to support their project. Oh by the way Olorun hasn't had an update in months and I would say almost a whole year now. Report for abandonware.

Some of the best AI and fights I have experienced in a Co-op game. There was a bear chasing a bunch of sheep, and the sheep went on top of a rock to get away from the bear. So the bear gave up and fought some other sheep. It needs more content and can be fustrating if you think there is something cool to find but the content is just not there.

TLDR... Best combat system and fights in any game I have played. Just needs more.

I am going to edit this review because it sounds like a review of a finished game. I did not realise when I wrote this how new this game is. Today the game updated and I was curious of the patch notes that lead me to the store page where I seen this game is EA from Aug 2018. So the game is very new. That said all the below is true BUT expected and I think I may have lost sight of that. Did not realise the age of the game because I picked it off a third party site. I felt I needed to be fair to the developers as they are likely working hard to improve things as they go.

Ok, so I just bought this game today on a third party website at a deep discount. It is extremely rough right now. There is less than 12 keys used. Seems can only equip weapons/tools by going into inventory. This is horrible when a boar is attacking when you were mining.
Then add in the combat system is in need of an extreme amount of work. Very difficult to swing how you need or to be helpful.
In all honesty I lost interest in the game at the start on the ship. You take control and wow thing does not look like it is moving. Graphically that boat adventure reminds me of games from the early 90's and even the 80's.

All in all I am stuck with this game but I do not see myself getting anymore hours out of the game.

Very fun to play with friends. If you get into it you can really do and find stuff. The game does have bugs but they are rather funny and not game breaking. Larger enemies are kinda difficult but even smaller enemies can make up a good fight like dieng to crabs. Multiplayer with friends is very goofy and funny even if you see your friend being kicked through the air by a boar and be killed. Even dieng is funny. PVP is funny as well we have great fun killing each other. Even though we wanted to train blocking we ended up killing each other. Would recommend it 10/10 watching friend being killed literly after engaging in battle.

Before I get into the review, I have to say that I'm really impressed by how small the team is but yet they still create an awesome game.

Olorun: Theocracy is quite a unique game. If you like to play with your friends and like exploring
in a new world, then this is it! This game has its own charming and keeps me involved in gameplay.

However, I might like to have more guidance in the early stage of the game. I was a little confused about what to do in the first place then it was fine later. Because it's an early access game, it's still got some improvements.

Overall, Olorun: Theocracy is a great game you definitely can expect. And I think most people would enjoy this if you're looking for a casual and fantasy game to play with your friends.

It is very early to say if it is something to buy or not. Right now they are rly early stage. I suggest wait a little and come back again to peek it.
