Reviews for "The Well Equipped Adventurer"
The game is a great concept, but it glitches quite often. Sometimes I have to reload 5 or 6 times before the glitches fully iron themselves out, as they seem to carry over occasionally no matter what I do. There's no way to speed up crafting, and materials are incredibly difficult to obtain. I managed to get leather strips one time, and then the area went from having a Great chance to having a Poor chance. Leather is pretty important, so it shouldn't be so dang rare. All the NPCs also have very similar stats, and the things you can craft don't do much to boost anything.
I really like this game overall.
Some already stated some of the problems with the game, but here goes.
The flow of the materials and crafting don't flow well together, when you want to gain xp for a certain line of product. Maybe put lists of the materials found in the different quest areas. Maybe likelyhood of finding them too.
Sometimes i have to unequipe a weapon befor i can switch to another.
Maybe make a "magical shop", where you can make the smith shop "go" to other areas, to find stronger heroes and maybe material farms. Like start in low lvl areas, and progress to higher lvl areas as your shop fame grows.
This game has good potential to be a great game, if you just keep a balance in the flow as i wrote about earlier. Maybe make it so heroes collect materials while the player is away.
Just if it is possible for you guys to do it.
Maybe even make it so the smith can go out and collect materials himself, if he has nothing to craft.
Also maybe some interacting that gives you materials or slightly greater chance for better crafting.
I hope to see you guys make this game great. Good luck. : )
Good in concept, but it's a bit of a grind. The timers need to be shorter, I was running out of things to do because I had no materials, and sitting there waiting for the smith to be done was a bit of a drag
Personally I think a way to increase the forging speed and maybe the ability to buy materials from a merchant would be a nice addition.
