Lakeburg Legacies

I don't think it's a bad thing that the "game is no longer supported". It's not an online game and it doesn't have any bugs or broken features, at least none that I noticed. It's a complete game, it has adjustable difficulty, it has fun/funny achievements you can aim for, and the game mechanics are a fun mix of resource management and card deck optimization. (your villagers are the cards).
I loved the art style, music, and themeing. Some people are saying it's repetitive, but I find it the perfect length for when I want to play for a few hours without getting trapped into an endless-gaming loop. I enjoyed seeing how genetics played out across generations (or manipulating them!) and loved making up little narratives for households. The ability to customize game elements like resource costs or illicit building effects was helpful so I could scale up the difficulty as I got used to the game, and create challenging saves or cozy easy-mode saves. It's a fun game from a creative team!

If you need a distraction, and have some 10£ (or less) to burn, it's good. The art style and BGM (even if repetitive) are nice. The gameplay it's not great, lacks depth or replaybility (even if it has potential), since the game seems abandoned by dev.

Concept is fun and game HAD potential but towards mid to end game, its design limitations starts to seep and
surface.
Key issues ruin the immersion and limit the potential of the game - mainly on the economy design.
The matchmaking aspect is really fun but as the populace grows, the game becomes a heavy micro city management without much pay-off.
* Limited buildings/job slots means you can't really expand, if there was an option to pay more for slots it would help
* Not much ways to spend resources once you've stockpiled enough, at a certain point once you've scaled, not much to do and limits repeatability/replay value
* The most important resource for fun- the hearts - for matchmaking is the hardest to earn even as you have more couples/scale
* Youth always need mentorship/apprenticeship
* People can't stay single even at old age?
* Why at 18 they need a house? They can still stay with their families until they get married!
So much potential, novel concept, fun at the start, but fizzles out quickly.
Buy at sale only. No more dev support at this point.

Loved this game. The gameplay, art, and kingdom management system were stunning. HOWEVER, the gallery needs to be reworked. I spent 18 hours playing one game, looking forward to unlocking at least half the gallery. I got a perfect score for my kingdom and I unlocked... 3 paintings... out of 33 paintings. Please rework the system, because I am NOT spending 540 hours unlocking the other 30 paintings.

I absolutely adore this game, it's definitely one of my top cozy games to wind down with. With both matchmaking and lineage aspects with a sprinkle of challenge, plus the cutest art style for the characters makes it a game I can't help but keep coming back to.
However, I feel like it had a little more potential and the Devs dropped it to pursue other games and it kind of breaks my heart. They put a warning that endless mode is unsupported and gameplay may be effected, but how can I dedicate my time to a kingdom for only a 100 year span? It was finished enough, I guess, but I thought they were going to work on it more.

Contrary to the previous reviews, I think it's worth playing. I had so much fun for the last three hours, and I'm looking forward to replaying it now that I know the game mechanics much better.
I think a lot of the disappointment stems from the fact the game COULD be so much better with more elaborate features. However, everything that was promised on the steam game page was delivered, so playing is still an enjoyable experience.
If you can get this on sale I'd definitely recommend it!

I enjoy playing this game, with the exception of Coral Island, and Echoes of the Plum Grove, this is in my top 3 list of games I prefer to play...I like the Generational gameplay and the sometimes chaos that villagers can create in Lakeburg. I do hope the developers will come back to this game for future updates...there is still a lot of stuff they can do with this game...in the meantime, I will continue to play until I get bored which I don't believe I will...
