Glimvale is a delightful mix of town building, management and idle/incremental. The management aspects of the game are a little less prevalent than the other two, but it's still just enough for your choices to matter to some degree instead of blindly rushing through progression. The art is really cute and you can make really pretty towns and environments with little effort. The music is chill and non intrusive, which is perfect for an idle game in my opinion.
The amount of decorations you can place makes for so many possibilities. I did not expect to have so many customization options. There's a lot of items that have variants; different styles, colors, you can also rotate/invert some items for variety.
I didn't realize this when I bought the game, but there are actually multiple towns with different themes that you get to build up! It also looks like they each progress in the background when you are playing on a specific town, which allows you to progress multiple towns at once while idling.
There is also a system for unlocking more decorations by placing specific decorations a set number of times on the map. It kind of feels like little quests you can do to get rewarded with more customization options!
You'll also have access to a talent tree, where you can spend gold and also crystals, which you unlock by completing quests on your town center. Those quests are completed by selling specific items at buildings, and as your adventurers go and buy them you can get the unlocks from the town center. Those talents do carry over from one town to the other, so you can build more stuff from the start!
I haven't encountered many bugs so far, but it does look like there is no way to leave a town and go back to the map. I am either missing something here or there was an oversight. Also, when I try to return to menu, the game just closes entirely. Maybe that's how you were meant to go back to town selection, but the game is crashing/closing instead?
I have nothing negative to say about the game. It's fantastic. Especially for the price, absolutely worth getting. I bought it as soon as it released and got the DLC too. It's been really enjoyable so far, and I'm looking forward to 100%ing it!
