OK, perhaps, i should say, that my review is not so fair and i explain later why! Don't be confused with my English, i'm German spoken person and i apologize for arising mistakes. About the game: You are playing for the Goblin character and trying to create safe forest. You character is something like a mage; he can summon some buildings, creatures and can also cast a few spells. By enemies invasion i played most of the time in Ego-shooter mode. In god-mode/RPG view you have really great futures to build unique forest. There are so many things which you can summon, and i actually think this is just the beginning. The idea and the concept of the game is very interesting. To be honest i'm not a gamer anymore and pretty old for this stuff-:) And now is the reason, why for some people this review is not so fair and why, maybe this is the fairest review of all-:) I worked with this developer almost for a year for one company in Germany. And, i can say what he is trying to achieve ...

Weather and time of day
In the game, there are spells, runes and traps that cause more damage when it is raining. The main character can find several types of tornado scrolls.
At night, undead have more health and some characters or heroes, such as the OtherSide, become much stronger. For PvP, there are special structures that are closely tied to the dark time of the day. In addition, some spells that scare enemies are more effective in the dark.
PvP
Upon attacking an enemy forest, you have 200 seconds to destroy all enemy buildings. For each enemy structure, you receive 5 coins and 5 experience. Plus, you get honor points, rating points and other resources for a victory. For a defeat, you will lose honor points and rating. During the attack, you will have 15 unique abilities. So at level five, you will have 5 abilities during an attack. One new ability will unlock with each new level. A PvP building improves your abilities when attacking an enemy forest. There are several buildings and even creatures in the game designed to play only against each other.
There are 8 heroes in the hero pool at the moment that you can encounter in your forest. One of the heroes becomes available for attacks on enemy forests for three weeks.
This hero is available for attacking an enemy forest: Other Side
Improve and destroy
Anything in your forest can be destroyed or improved. You can improve anything in your forest after each enemy raid, from trees, mushrooms, and buildings to heroes and creatures. During battles, when a creature is directly involved in the fighting, it gains experience. Your creatures and heroes, as well as your main character gain levels in this manner. They gain 5 skill points for each level and possibly even new abilities.
Scrolls, weapons, items, plans, resources, and phials
All inventory items are divided into six types and all six types are available only during the game session.
After killing monsters, certain items often drop. They can be one of six types of resources, mana phials, health or experience, plan for a structure, one-time use magic scroll, summon tornado, trap, or something else. At the moment, there are a just over a hundred items drops in the game.
The forest
Even mushrooms and trees have a purpose in your forest. Trees can be used for more than just protection and barriers. They are very important. For every tree in your forest, all your objects, including the main character, can evade physical damage by a certain percentage. Mushrooms affect the ability to evade magic damage.
Many heroes become stronger next to trees or mushrooms, and some can even heal themselves by destroying trees.
Important: Remember that if the number of trees in your forest falls below 30, you will lose the game and have to start over.
Heroes and Higher beings
At the moment, the game has 8 heroes and 3 higher creatures, similar in nature to heroes, but do not require any resources (creatures or heroes).
Your heroes, like the rest of your creatures, can gain experience in combat. They acquire a new ability at every other level. All characters patrol your forest. The first hero arrives after reaching the fifth level.
Heroes: Imp, Otherside, Witch, Orc Traveler, Mishka, Making Money, Kaba and Winterstale.
Ancient, Evil Mushroom and Warlord. The first two creatures do not require creature resources. If an Ancient is a very expensive creature that costs a large number of resources, Evil Mushroom costs just 50 mushrooms growing in your forest. Also remember that one elder is available to you at the very beginning of the game. the Ancient and Evil Mushroom do not patrol the forest like your heroes and can obey your orders outside of combat. Both have full view of the forest. Accordingly, when battle begins, they attack the closest target. In the case of the Ancient, of course, only if it is awakened. The Warlord is a PvP-exclusive creature. You can summon him only by attacking other's forests.

User Reviews
This is Early Access Game, so this review is also based on the game's current state. (11/2/2015) 1. Game performance: horrible. Game's engine is unity aaaaaaaaand the performance is indeed horribad. My machine can run Skyrim without lag but I'm getting only like 15 fps here in this game. It needs so much optimization since I honestly think it's unacceptable for game like this that doesn't even require advanced graphic capabilities. About the settings, in-game menu doesn't give any noticeable options. You won't see any exotic options for graphic settings here, no fancy AA, Shadow or particle options. The setup is mostly done in menu pre-game (has launcher) where the game will present you with preconfigured setups - Fastest, Fast, Simple, Good, Beautiful, Fantastico.. oh I meant Fantastic. The launcher also allows you to preconfigure your keyboard mappings, though my experience when setting up these controls was not pleasant one. Very difficult if not impossible to reset back to defaul...
Just getting this game and playing for few minutes, i can honestly say that this game in its current state is pretty meh. The concept is great, defending a forest in a tower-defense type way, but the current state is pretty mediocre. The UI isnt good, the placement is horrid, and the grammar, oh god the grammar. English teachers everywhere are crying. This game has some great potential, and it is pretty playable right now, but you wil have to overlook a lot of things to be able to play it. So get it if you want to try it, because later on after some polishing, i will probably make this one of my favorite games, but only after polishing.
I predict the game a huge success, and i explain why! Dark Forester is still only in alpha version and developed by one man! I'm level 10 and know what to say. - beautiful graphic - physic based game - Nice PvP idea, many Clash of Clans elements in 3d. - I see (final release) as 'Mighty Quest For Epic Loot' alternative - 'Never die' - better restart the game if your hero gone down... -:) - Forest decoration, you can create your own unique forest. - UI/UX is much better now, as after release - One man develops Dark Forester! Great respect! - corpses, falling trees, traps - simply brilliant. - Non stop action, summon everything, no build time. Minus: - Price is too high, discount news for alpha is good idea.
A very nice game with a lot of new elements. Dark Forester is a wild mix of many genres. I want the game survives and comes good to final release
At first, I thought this game was deserving of a thumbs down, but in that time I found out that, while some of my problem were legitimate, a lot of it had to do with messing around with the game a lot. you have to TRY ERY HARD to like this game so don't give up, but after that it's a decent experience for 99 cents. What's more, the developer himself chimed in on my original review and that's really cool to see a developer care so much about game they stand right up to critics in a helpful nonconfrontational way. This is my original review, read it or not, like I said, there complaints will happen a lot until you get the hang of the game. After that no worries. I want so much for this game to be good. I think the premise is very original and the fantasy setting is great, but the gameplay and display needs serious work. With TLC, this game can be great so I urge the developer to improve it. First off, your units aren't smart, in fact they don't even seem to care about their own sur...
As you can see i put in this game only 30m. This is because I didn't want to ruin it to much for myself before release. Normally I don't play games at all, but many years ago (many of you dont even know Panasonic 3DO) i had the game "The Horde". In one of developers videos he mentioned, the game would have some elements from this EA game. Good Luck!
Couldn't spawn trees for my forest. 10/10
I bought it for .89 cents it seems worth it.
First time in hundreds of Steam purchases that I've requested a refund... and [b][u]it really is that bad[/u][/b]. The UI is terrible, there's no tutorial, just a 9-step panel of quick tips on the UI which were clearly built with the help of Google Translate from Russian, making it very difficult to understand, character controls are terrible -- requiring you to click and drag defensive units during live combat, which also simultaneously forces your main unit to move (and get stuck moving), and a load of other technical issues that were already touched on by other reviewers. If there's anything fun about this game, it's lost in frustration long before I could get to it. Stay clear of this one.
