The Bonfire: Forsaken Lands 9+

Engaging concept that loses steam

I loved playing this game at first. Gathering resources and crafting have always been the parts of MMO games that I enjoyed the most. But right at the junctures where this game should become more interesting, it fails. I reached the point where the scouts found a cave, and when we encountered a beast, my two warriors allowed defenseless me to attack it and get killed without backing me up. Why can’t the main character wear armor and have a weapon too?

Then I achieved the ability to build a ship, and I did... except no ship ever appeared, even though the resources were spent. Right around that time, I also had the option of building a steel forge, but after I built the non-existent ship, I found I couldn’t build anything. Te option to build the steel forge was gone, and there were no options to build anything else... so that effectively ended the game for me.

My only other gripe is that the text is a bit hard for me to read, but I’m visually impaired, so that may only be me. I really like the tone te music and the graphics set. With a little work, this could be an awesome game with some longevity as new areas are added.

Developer Response ,

Hi, thanks for your review. The end of the game can be unlocked by exploring and completing the mysterious cave

Great Game. Little confusing. Little short

Game is great loved the art love the style. These are the games I like to find that beautiful to the eyes with deep game play. Game can become a little confusing when your not paying attention to the words on the screen when it tells you what it’s for or what it does. Game add a bit of exploding to figuring out how things work. I managed to beat the game with in a day or 2 probably cause I reached a state where both my guards and warriors where fully geared and it didn’t take much to survive the night or the caves and all I had to do was set my phone down while the game progressed. Think I did that for couple of hours and by then upgraded my titan 50 on armor and 50 on weapon. Was going to go for 100 on both but decided to progress the game to see what happened next. Might think of progressing the enemies to a harder state, but almost unnecessary.

I would definitely love to see more games like this where you just kinda figure things out and the game give you a beautiful artsy style game. We don’t always need some 3d nonsense all the time. And I always felt that games for phone should be more picturesesk then being these full on 3d impactful games.

Over all great game. Cant wait to see more. Keep it sweet and simple. With the exploration and color.

Great game! Please add more to do after the end game

I thought the game was great, bought it about a month (around when it was released) or so ago and beat it within a few hours, I really enjoyed the time that I spent upgrading the village and (spoiler) fighting the big boss at the end. But after that, I thought there would be more, maybe another land to go to our a possibility to expand my village even more. By there wasn’t, I've waited this long to leave a review hoping their would be more added. However, there hasn’t been since the last time I beat it, I got bored and upgraded the titan to 30 armor and weapon levels thinking it would be fun. Naturally it was, but after that I got very bored with it. Maybe add more things to do? Examples like traveling to new lands instead of just trading with them, add secret loot or maps leading to treasure or something into the caves instead of just simple loot that I could easily get from my villagers. All and all, a 10/10 game, I would love to see the developers do more with this! I’m sure many other people feel the same way I do.
