Wild Growth

The game is very polished. However there are two main issues. Took me about half the game to realize that I could never make crazy builds. Like all fire mages, or a full stack of warriors. The game bills itself as a Formation management game. But even with a skill tree everything is linear and the only choice you can make is to put your wizard in front of, or behind your fighters. (you guess which is better) Also its grindy for no real gain. It doesnt feel like im progressing. The art and the play are great, but for some reason no one told them it wasnt fun in its current balance.

I'll be real. The gameplay in the levels is actually kinda fun. The often-frenetic healing and eventually large party size really sells the raid-style healer feel. Also, the art is really compelling. Sometimes simplistic but always thematically unified and well done. But holy Eir the skill tree feels so poorly planned. The upgrades are so expensive, to the point where you have to grind the same level with the same build over and over and over again just to try and get enough for the next upgrade. The eventual reliance on skulls, the objectively worse currency to grind, means you WILL be slamming your nuts in the car door for a few hours before you can spice up your gameplay. I think the gameplay loop is just... not fun enough to justify playing it for the reasons I DO like it. It almost feels like a way to artificially inflate the gametime as opposed to truly fleshing out the game. HOWEVER. although I'm gonna give it a thumbs down, I do think if you don't mind a genuinely mindless slog... this game actually has a lot going for it. potentially. idk. try at your own risk, it's only a few bucks and it's a small creator.

I wish I could leave a positive review, but this game needs some attention from the devs. Pros - Visually appealing - Music is great - Gameplay is unique for this type of game Cons - Resource gathering MUCH too slow - Upgrades MUCH too expensive for mostly weak improvements - Progression feels backwards much of the time, finishing a campaign level is followed by gathering FEWER resources due to resource progression staying stagnant while enemy progression is more linear / difficult I hope the devs take a few more passes on this one, it has a lot of potential but for now it's getting put back on the shelf.
