Deiland

This game is charming. It has amazing graphics and artwork, whimsical music, and im a huge fan of crafting system, reminds me of older PC games like wandering willows. Another aspect i like is how people visit your planet, its pretty creative.
However:
The fishing game has one of the worst, most infuriating interfaces Ive ever seen for fishing. Im slightly dislexic and having to press a random key that only appears for one second and resets every time you miss it is torture and needlessly difficult. I cant catch a fish to save my life. It would be much better if you would make the fish catchable for one key per species, like "spacebar" for one and "e" for another.
Secondly i dont like how the camera works at a fixed angle, it would be cool if you could be able to change it to an overhead whenever you want, or even be able to zoom it in/out while still being in control of the character.
Finally, the battle system leaves much to be desired. Its a buttonmasher and theres no thought to it. It would be better if enemies had more attacks than just running up to you, because all you have to do win is just spam spacebar and the knockback from it stops the enemies from hitting you.
Other than these flaws, Deiland is an alright game, and im happy i got it for free, but please, i beg you, fix the fishing system.

Deiland, a sandbox farm simulator in space, at least that's what i thought when i started the game.
Was i wrong? No.
Was i correct? Absolutely not.
Deiland has an enjoyable story, easy mechanics, fun characters and nice graphics. I've spent a whole day without getting bored. I'll say it already, it's not a game for impatient people, there is a bunch of waiting for different stuff like crops and merchants, but those things make you play the game for much longer.
It's easy to progress, and fun to stay in one point in the story doing random stuff like planting trees or fishing. There is always something to do. The only downside is the RNG on dropping one thing, because you can either get it at the start of the game or at the point where you cant progress without it and you waited for it for about an hour. But as i said, even doing random stuff without progressing in the story is fun so i didnt really notice that i waited so long.
So, Deiland is basically a sandbox rpg farm simulator in space with elements of typical mobile games (but made actually fun and with no ads)
Honestly i wish i knew about this game earlier, i would buy it without a second thought.

At first, i didn't seem to be interested in playing such games. In the end, i spent most of my times playing Deiland to cease my boredom of being quarantined. It is really fun! If people had any recommendations in such games like Deiland i would really appreciate it. Thanks!

In my ongoing and likely futile effort to write a Steam review for every game in my library (#462 out of 612)... it's time for Deiland.
A very simple adventure game with light RPG elements, Deiland could perhaps be described as a simplified iteration of the Harvest Moon / Bokujou Monogatari series with a bit of a science-fiction flaire. It's certainly a very polished game, but didn't seem to have much depth to me. It also relies very heavily on "crafting," and I've never really understood the appeal of games that require you to spend the bulk of your time fiddling with menus.
Perhaps the biggest difference compared to other farming/crafting sims is that Deiland takes place on a 3D, spherical mini-planet (think Mario Galaxy) rather than a 2D space aligned to a grid. It's an interesting and unique premise, but I found it to be unnecessarily disorienting—most of what little time I spent outside of the crafting menu was spent aimlessly wandering about the ball hoping to find whatever specific location I was searching for. I'm not really sure I understand why any 21st century game would omit something as basic as a mini-map, but here we are.
I should also point out that the writing in the game is very clunky—it gives the feeling of either being deliberately written in the most pared-down syntax possible in order to be accessible to very young players, or being written by someone who wasn't terribly confident in their English-language skills.
Deiland is one of those games that I can understand the appeal of, conceptually, but find utterly uninteresting in practice. One of those games that just makes me want to shrug. I can't honestly give it a thumbs-up, but I can't honestly give it a thumbs-down, either. If you're fond of the crafting genre, such as it is, all I can say is you may as well give Deiland a shot—just keep your expectations in check.

It may offer some enjoyment for a time and everything is really easy to be learned and controlled. However, the game is very very grindy and mostly you just harvest stuff from here and there slowly approaching your goals and it is a shame that this does not have multiplayer option to ease proceeding and multiply entertainment. I'd recommend to rather buy that another legendary farming/crafting game if I was you, but although this comes for free on these quarantine times and it is worth of trying!

If you don't compare this game to similar ones like Stardew Valley, then it is a very decent game. However, in comparison, I feel it comes out for the worse. To me there is no real replay value. There is no relationship play available, the quests can sometimes be really confusing and don't have obvious answers, leading to you having to look it up. The Most annoying part of the game is when you are waiting for a specific person to show up on your planet but there is no way to summon them there. The only ones you can summon specifically in game seem to be Mun and Lily. It does have it's fun value and I played for 68 hours before I became bored and the game became a bit more redundant.

cute and simple i enjoy
