It isnt yet finished, but it can be very fun. due to it not being finished, there are still some bugs and imbalances, and some setups dominate the field. It is definetely a game for those with friends, but still possible (albeit difficult) to progress

Rotwood is a uniquely charming and atmospheric survival adventure game that invites players to explore a mysterious, overgrown world brimming with secrets, wildlife, and a palpable sense of solitude. Developed by several indie creators and brought to life with a distinct hand-painted art style, Rotwood stands out by combining open-world exploration with survival mechanics and a subtle narrative that slowly unravels as you interact with the environment. It offers a contemplative yet engaging experience that appeals to players who appreciate immersive worlds and a blend of challenge and discovery. At its core, Rotwood immerses you in a beautifully crafted world overrun by nature’s reclamation. The game’s visuals are striking, with lush, hand-drawn foliage and detailed environments that create a vivid and inviting landscape.

It's just playing the same boards and defeating the same bosses over and over to collect achievements. I tried really hard to like it, but it's boring AF,fighting is clunky AF, and I don't understand the point of crafting and farming when gold and stores would be so much simpler. No stars except for the art style. Maybe it will be better when it's finished.

Kinda hard for solo players, but it's good when playing with friends.

Klei it rhymes with play!

Rotwood suffers from limited content, shallow combat, poor balance between weapons and bosses, permanent multiplayer progression bugs and is simply overpriced. I cannot imagine further patches altering the game sufficiently for me to ever suggest a purchase.

Fun game!. Movement and combat feels pretty smooth. A decent amount of weapon classes to master. All of them feel different, mostly enjoyable. The upgrades and items you get on each run are decent as well. I am sure small tweaks and adjustments will make it even more enjoyable as time goes by. Love the art style too!

Load of fun coop game, with inherent nostalgia due to its gameplay and art direction, memories of games like castle crashers, but with a notable step up in quality. The progression feels good, customization feels good, solid gameplay variety, and the music and visuals are wonderful, highly recommend.
