Forests, Fields and Fortresses

It's a casual game like Dorfromantik and similar to board games like King Domino and Cartographers.
It's a decent little time waster, though I can't imagine spending hours on it in a single day.

overall it's okay. but to truly enjoy this game, it takes more luck than wisdom.
+ BGM. reminds me of Ragnarok Online.
+ simple, clean UI.
+ art.
- can't use LMB on any buttons. a simple game like this shouldn't require the use of both a keyboard and a mouse.
- unattractive and counterintuitive game mechanic. need to check rules constantly during early game.

A decent, small puzzle game where you optimize tile layout of tetris-like blocks. Has a 1-2 hour main mode introducing most of the gameplay, followed by an endless mode that makes use of all the tiles with some extra element to increase variance. The simple mechanics are easy to pick up. I think most players will only be playing a few sessions, though the price is commensurate.

I was intrigued by this game because it seemed like it might be a pixely version of Carcassone. It is not that at all. It's more a logic puzzle with a sort of medieval style. It can be beaten in about two hours if you are good at these sorts of puzzles.
Still, I would recommend it. Definitely made me think critically a couple of times.
One thing that is perhaps unexpected is the levels aren't really in a difficulty progression, and the challenge varies level to level. A lot of the inconsistency with level difficulty is connected to the introduction of new pieces. Just an observation. I didn't really mind it.

I got this one in a bundle for cheap, and for that, it was quite nice. In puzzle mode, there are 50 levels, and every few ones a new mechanic gets introduced in an easy one which then gets gradually harder, so quite a few of those 50 levels are easy. I spent around two evenings on it, which is fine for the price I paid for it.
The other mode is adventure mode, in which you get randomly generated tiles and try to achieve the needed amount of coins with them so you can progress into the next level and gradually unlock a few more things.
If I am honest, I wouldn't buy it for full price, as I can't see myself play adventure mode much past getting the achievements for which you don't need much time. It's fun for a bit, but too random and not rewarding enough to enjoy it long term.
It's nice for around 2-4 hours I would say, depending on the interest in adventure mode, so adjust your price expectations accordingly. And btw, the game played perfectly out of the box on the deck. Steam's complaints about "native resolution" are a joke with pixel art games.

This is a really fun puzzle game. Time played is how long it took me to beat the 60 regular puzzles, haven't touched the adventure mode yet but the core mechanics are super cool so I'm looking forward to it

Fun little puzzler, with a interesting adventure mode. Uses tiles - with different features, which depending on circumstance allow a different amount of gold accrual. I wish the adventure mode was a bit more flexible in the placement of shapes, but maybe that would make the "adventure" part of the game too easy. Adventure mode needs a bit more something, but for the time I played I enjoyed it.
