Jack the Barbarian

WARNING: SPOILERS Unfortunately this is not a recommended game at it's current point in time. The game is very short, clearing every single monster and quest required roughly 5 hours my first time. The list of PROs is very short, the list of CONs may be a bit overwhelming for most. PROs: Classic RPG art style. Most of the games mechanics are very simple and quick to understand. Using some strategies you can progress very quickly. Extremely Cheap CONS: Many quests state they give you gold or items but they are not added to the inventory. Noticed this multiple times with healing potions and 300-400 gold when I still remained at a whopping 56 gold total. No character customization besides items equipped. Crafting - limited to about 5 recipes which you have no involvement in besides bringing an NPC the items. Towns - May have monsters in them, have the same dialogue options and room layouts between all types of towns IE: Elves, Barbarians and Pirates. Combat: Extremely linear, the bes...

I was hoping that this game would be similar to "Stardew Valley" but no such luck. Farming is a pedestrian affair and you can only plant one seed at a time on the marked spot, but at least you get your one crop straight away. Fishing has a very different mechanic to any other game I've seen, but without a tutorial I found it very difficult to actually land any fish. I did catch a couple but quite why I succeeded then is a mystery. The battles are impossible. From the beginning the enemies are way too strong for a Level 1 fighter, and the rewards are tiny compared to the expensive potions you have to use to stay alive. So dispiriting ... I've given up playing. At least it was cheap.

I got this game hoping for a nice little sandbox game - fighting, fishing, farming etc - but was quickly disappointed. You're dropped into a town with no explanation or storyline. Every NPC either has one line of badly spelled dialogue or you simply can't interact with them. Every quest boils down to "Bring me beer and I will give you 100 gold. Yes/No." Farming is boring and just a series of a dialogue boxes. You just stand next to a plot and spam Z to go through like 8 dialogue boxes every time. The guy who sells seeds is also a fair distance away from the farm so you have to pilgrimage back and forth and try to remember what every generic NPC wanted you to make them. There's a fisherman who hints that he will teach you if you come to him with a fishing rod. Once you do, he walks towards the river next to him and says "It looks like you can fish there." Literally, that's the tutorial you get. Hooking a fish is straight forward but the line breaks seemingly randomly even when I tri...

Worst fishing minigame ever. Game was tedious and boring with little to no point. Not worth the couple of bucks it might cost unless they overhaul everything. Bought it for the old school look and feel.... only had the look. This eviscerates my memories of what a good 8 or 16 bit game was like.

Reason why it get that bad review dev please put save or diary in menu so you save like somewhere in game so you don't die often. Too much permeant death everywhere in the game makes it imposible to give balance thrown about in game. Elves are super power?? Cave is has duo element which frankly tells me where do I find this duo element do you get pet that you join forces make balance level? I don't know game has too many question not enough times for me return... 2.99 is good price to put on something that should remain at level where its unbalanced for player go head on collision every time. I played game similar to this and I can't make review until get out closed beta stages. ;( Anyway game over screen means to its too cut and dry process...if this was online game there be more cry babies, I did look see seems more predate on player as you go about I don't see where you can level up easily... I did tomato quests -> seems lot of those quests there no simple gathering quests gain e...

don't run pirate you'll only get tired die

Amazing Game! Extremely fun to play, great fishing system :))

So I've put about 30 mins into the game so far. I can say honestly, that I enjoy the game but it's easy a bit.

This game is alot like 2D Minecraft in the sense that theres alot of crafting. My favorite aspect is what 2D Minecraft as been really missing the adventure aspect.

Trash game, it's this sort of badly planned lazy rpg game that gives bad reputation to rpg maker games.
