Guilds Of Delenar

I do not enjoy writing negative reviews, but unfortunately it seems pretty clear that this game will never be finished and there is not enough here at present to be worth buying. I would not buy this game unless the dev makes substantial and consistent progress, not simply showing up with a minor update and disappearing again. I would love to be wrong, but this game seems to be effectively abandoned and the "mostly positive" reviews are a relic of the initial active development which has long since stopped.

Update 3/20/2022 - the developer has gone bye-bye again. He posted a few things two years ago, saying that he would be more active and we would see updates, and then went poof and disappeared again with zero updates. DO NOT BUY. Update 11/12/2020 - Developer has started posting in the forums again. Keep watch and see what, if anything, happens. Update 8/21/2020 - DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. IT IS ABANDONED AND UNFINISHED. I just wanted to post a quick positive review for this early access game. It is still pretty early in development, but there is a lot here to enjoy. It's not the most mind-blowing game ever, but it's pretty unique and just good old fun. You play a guild. You have a stable of dudes and gals in your guild, and you manage their skills (and possibly stats as they level up - I haven't gotten that far yet), and equipment. Then you form them into parties and go on quests, which are mainly combat oriented quests so far. I haven't seen anything other than go to a place...

This game harkens back to the OLD school Isometric games of yester-decade. The music gives the listener the whistful feeling of older JRPGs, and classic anime from the 80s, the character models for the size given are rather well done, actually seeing the clothing change to me is AMAZING for a simpler game. The strategy with ability/spellweaving is an interesting take on "powering up", combining powers from different classes is a good touch as well. Paying attention when you create/hire on people is a must, warrior types want STR/STAM, Caster types want INT/SPIRIT, so choose races wisely unless you want more of a challenge. The roaming groups that seek to stop you make things even more of a challenge, to avoid them unless you want to fight them. Later updates to offer more storage space, and guild benefits make me cannot wait to see how this game develops.. also take note that the dev WILL ACTUALLY TALK TO YOU, Unless you come off like an arse, then you might get a decent yet stoic...

Awesome job on the updates! We got a real winner here! Vaaaaaaaporware!

Animations are herky jerky. Combat uninspiring. Had a hard time attaching to my mercenary band. I prefer "Battle Brothers" over this inartful imitation.

Fun game that I actually feel some great progression on my characters. There have been a few happy surprises so far in this game for me. Loot feels rewarding from the start and seems to leave room for end game. The armor swaps out on the characters models. I like the choice of talents that allow me to give personality to each of my characters. This is my early opinion and I will update the review as I get more time to play.

7/2/2021 Edit: Waiting for new content. Only two levels total. Cute game, sometimes buggy, but would recommend for the fun! Edit: I liked this game months ago. But has been stale no updates and the content present doesn't match the price. Until a major patch is released save your money for a project that is updating.

A guild simulator RPG done right (finally!) The game is in early stages and still needs optimization, there are bugs and crashes to iron out, character customization options are still limited (all look the same except for skin tone), but the gameplay is solid and enjoyable, classes seem very well balanced and thought out and the progression tables coupled with the quest system has you immediately hooked up. Add in the lovely graphics, with that funny goofy hand-drawn style and you have a game in which you can easily sink hundreds of hours. Definitely a must buy for me, can't way to see how things progress with this one! A big thumb up for the dev for a job well done, keep it up!

I liked the game, but experienced major freezes in the second location (except for battles), and it crashes every two battles (i3, 3 GB RAM) The developer is willing to help, and has resolved the freeze issue, but frequent crashes due to the "system out of memory" error are still a problem, although according to the developer, this is a very rare issue. I hope this will be solved too.

Its a good little game. Its not perfect, but that is what early access is for. I look forward to seeing it grow!
