First of all this game is a blast. Really ties in all the previous games and adds more depth over all. I do wish there were a slightly better guide but over all very solid. A few pointers that might help someone is the fact that in your home if you have storage crates and the different crafting tables it will use the different storages even if they aren’t on your backpack when crafting also whenever you see a blue shield monster go after it, they help get lots of items because there is a bit of a grind.

Definitely have loved the game for a long time but one glaring thing has come to mind; how quickly gardening spirals into a slog between refilling water and digging holes and having to keep coming back. 1)Idea:an NPC or 2 that helps with gardening and can plant and harvest for you with the player providing a chest or 2, water vessels, and the seeds it could make the crops 24/7 as long as there’s seed plus maybe plant them all automatically getting full value. 2)Also why is it that onions are worth so much more to the point other crops aren’t worth any hassle? 3)Also should be able to teleport even when surrounded by enemies 4)the player castle needs a basement to add space for decorations especially if we actually get money to buy them 5)merchants should automatically restock if you clear them out 6)should be able to use more barter scrolls to get a bigger discount(as is it’s only 50% you can save even though you can be awarded more skill scrolls than you can use) 7)[new/update] a way to forcibly reroll what decoration merchants have because it’s irritating having cash on hand but nothing is stocked or worse junk I don’t want is stocked so it takes forever to reset it. 8)new/update: a way to skip the early game grind for levels and start with max damage and hp and attack speed and backpack space. 9)new/update also should allow riverbanks and ocean banks to count as watering since you can plant up to the very edge as is

If you haven’t played any of the other SRPG games then I highly recommend. However, this one is a bit different than the first three. Although I do like the new health system, the limit on storage in the backpack is cumbersome and makes the game much less enjoyable to me. Building storage bins is fine, but just seems unnecessary. Now, you have to remember where you put everything and are constantly walking back to these bins, getting the dreaded backpack full message. It really ruined the experience for me personally. However, gameplay in general is fun and it looks very good. Also, you can tell a lot of time goes into it, so I’d still say worthy of 3 stars. Just not 4-5 like the others.

The free to play route limits crafting and the overall pace of the game due to diamonds. You earn those the free way by doing achievements which take a significant amount of time to attain. Expect to grind this one out. The diamond requirements disappear after some time away from crafting (I still don’t understand that). Basically the way around it is to gather a bunch of materials and craft a bunch of the same item/material one time, ex. 20-fire sticks, then you won’t have to spend the diamonds for multiple crafts of that object. It’s more casual and relaxed but still enjoyable. Lots of things to do and plenty of achievements.
