What real reviews say
★★★★★ Long time fan Played this awhile ago. Still come back to see if a new game was made just like this 😓
★★★ Movement is awkward for combat Skeletons appear once in a while and the character gets stuck in doorways or between tiles and it makes things like juling difficult. Also placement of floor tiles is sometimes nearly impossible because the tile cant be placed from inventory, only from toolbar. Great game but the controls on mobile
★★★★★ My review The people say the saving doesn’t work are just stupid in the setting it clearly says SAVE and exit to menu, beyond that we NEED a forager movie great game, I have not encountered large progress loss due to forgetting to save.
