Please The Gods

I like the theme, I like the music, I like the combat. However, I ultimately can't recommend it because whether you succeed or not ends up being determined by random map events. It gets really tedious to quit out and start a section over just because you happened to fail a roll for getting more food. Combat is balanced to the point where any debuff makes a big impact on your chances and the ability to heal is also largely random, since that only happens on certain event tiles. Adding partial successes to the food events, so that they're not all or nothing and being able to heal multiple hearts at campfires would make for a much more consistent experience, as it stands now random chance swings your chances too wildly.

A game with Finnish mythology theme, there can be never enough of those. Very fun and simple to play, but keeps you on your toes. Gameplay consists of dicerolling and trying to manipulate the rolls in your favor by using different skills.

I wanted to like this game, and there are some promising concepts here, but ultimately it's all just too rough around the edges in all respects. It also commits the cardinal sin of making it so you can't skip the tutorial. No excuse for that in the year of lord 2019 no matter how indie a game is. The game is a dice game and as one might expect, luck plays a huge factor. There are skills one can collect with talent points that help tilt luck in your favor, but at the end of the day there's no fix for poor dice rolls. As such death should be expected unless you play on easy difficulty and get default +2 bonuses to your attack and defense rolls, and even then, don't expect to be impervious. Now death isn't always such a bad thing in video games. In rogue-likes for example? Death is a feature. However in a rogue-like, if you die, at least the next time you go through the dungeon it's been randomized a bit to keep that sense of "freshness" in your replay. There is no freshness in this ...

Simple game, roll the dice, make few choices every now and then. Huge thumbs up for using Finnish mythology! You don't see that very often in video games. Music is brilliant! It isn't game of the year, but I like to support smaller game studios like this one. Price is only about 2-3 pints of beer, so go on and try this game! Or even better, drink those pints while you play!

After its kind ambushed you twice, you find yourself face-to-face with another starved Earthfolk, one of the many creatures inspired by Finnish folklore. Will you look past the prior encounters and give up some of your food? In the wild north, crops are dying and game is scarce. Your family struggles to survive. An artifact can supposedly help, but of course, its shards are scattered across the region. Accompanied by your trusty and unfortunately underused doggy companion you set out on a quest to secure your and your loved ones' future. After an excellent tutorial, you find yourself surrounded by deep forests, crystal-clear lakes, and vast plains. You move toward your goal waypoint after waypoint, often presented with a choice. Do you need a safe place for some foraging first, or can you do without for another day? Some encounters are straight-up combat, other times you can avoid fighting by saying the right thing or spending resources. Entire regions away some decisions might come ...

This is great, short game. Very nice pixel artwork, loved Finnish mythology and story. Combat can be too rough if RNG isn't on your side and if you don't pick up useful skills while progressing in game, but i like that you need think what you're doing in this kind of games.

This game has peaceful, almost enchanted atmosphere which is created by the tranquil music and beautiful graphics. I like the themes, Finnish mythology and nature. It's so nice to gather berries and go fishing in between the fights. I enjoy this game.

Nice game. I like this kind of old school dice rolling games. The game was a bit short (or I was too good ;). BTW: why is it possible to get bleed debuff when you dodge?

Really fun and strategic dice/card game mix. Really pushes your mathematical decision making skills, totally recommend!

Great overall atmosphere with a mix of serene story and exciting battles! Graphics are very well made and anyone interested in pixel art should check this game out. Theme is something rarely seen within video games which is great. Even though the game is on the shorter side, each individual chapter length was well designed and had suitable length.
