Graphics
Music (Both kinds!)
Concepts and variety in the game
World generation
Very bad UX & UI
Gnomes idle too often for pedantic reasons
Unstable/Old fashioned save system
Fun music, graphics and story concepts make this really attractive to me. The pixel art is gold and the level of complexity in the engine is impressive. I had a lot of fun observing how the gnomes behave when I altered the map or laid out instructions, that alone can happily soak up a few hours. Each time you play you’ll learn new things that perhaps you wish you knew earlier, unfortunately it may be too late for several of your gnomes, like me, you’ll probably start over a couple of times with your new knowledge. The surprise events and map generation keeps the experience fresh every time and that’s always a welcome addition. However, I find I can only get 2 or 3 hours out of each game before things start behaving strangely and I am tempted to start over. Here are a few things that prompted me to start over and eventually quit the game forever…
It took too long for me to figure out how to find stone, so my gnomes died of thirst as there was no well. My best miner gnome marooned himself on a floating platform and died of thirst, there was nothing I could do. My gnomes refused to build a well for so long that they died of thirst. Finally, my gnomes were attacked by goblins who wiped half of them out, there was not enough good gnome skills left and I couldn’t be patient enough to wait for things to be done (if the gnomes would listen to my orders at all). Finally, the game disappeared with the “not responding” message and I lost my progress.
Conclusion: There are probably solutions to these issues but ultimately the complexity of the game is both its best and it’s worst feature. The interface is extremely minimal and non-descript, I spent more time on google than playing the game which is not really what I signed up for. There was always some pedantic reason why my expectations were not being met by the gnomes, some build list out of order or skill not assigned. Those things should really be displayed in such a way that I can more easily problem solve my errors instead of allowing gnomes to be idle when there is work to be done.
