Cycles of Aylorea - First Hour of Gameplay
7A very rough survival crafter. It IS alpha but in it's current state I don't think it's worth $45. Not by a long shot. The game needs a lot of iterating to be worth the price tag.
That being said, I like a lot of the ideas. I like the complex crafting trees. I like the multiple classes. I like deep crafting mechanics.
The RNG on crafting on the other hand seems to detract from the material based system that they're going for. IMO you should do one or the other. If the materials you use impact the final result, those results should be pretty set in stone. Even using the green materials I could have ended up with a worse end result than base materials getting a good roll.
The paragon system may be a needless layer of extra complication with the xp slider and two different paragon skills to focus on from two different groups. I wonder what that's adding to the game other than potential confusion.
Graphically the game is very lacking. This is generally something that gets iterated on later in the development cycle but if you're charging $45 for an alpha, it should probably look better than this.
The audio left a lot to be desired as well. Nothing too special here, it just wasn't all that impressive.
Certain design decisions such as gathering taking a significant animation to process picking up a rock or all plants in a biome giving the same resource are questionable at best. These decisions should be rethought by the dev team to see what they're adding or taking away from the game and reassess the intent behind them.
I think there's potential here but it's not currently a $45 game.
