Life is Hard - Lets Try - Part 1
9Life is hard first dropped onto my desk when Leo over at PirozhokStudio shot me a email and asked me if i wanted to have a look at their game. Before this date I had never even heard of 'Life is Hard' but after a quick look at the trailer and i was sold it looked great!
After a problem with my original key and clusterio getting in the way last weekend I finally had a chance to give the game a go. This is where the problems started.....
Whilst waiting for the relative quick download i was researching the game on their steam store page and found quite a lot of negative reviews covering the learning curve and that the in game tutorial doesn't really cover everything you need to know.
After sitting down and playing a hour of the game getting part way through the tutorial before I was killed! I have to agree! The game has reached version 0.9 and I am really hoping before the Dev releases 1.0, They stop and take stock of the tutorial and maybe change it to a sandbox world to cut out any randomly generated interactions and allow the player to become confident in what they are doing before adding more complications.
Overall i gave this game a 6/$9 I see great potential but its not quite there yet.
TL:DR 6/$9 It looks good but has a steep learning curve, expect to die and restart a few times before you have a grasp on the game!

"Life is hard" is a strategy/village management game. Your aim here is to control a tribe. Defend your village, harvest resources, expand your town, colonize the islands, upgrade your tools and weapons and contact with other civilizations. There is no specific aim in our game. You can do whatever you want.
Expand your village: build farms and houses, upgrade tools in blacksmith, trade with your neighbors. It’s your destiny to create the most powerful town in this amazing world!
Conquer the world by fire & sword or with power of diplomacy. What would you choose – to help your neighbors to deal with the Vikings for iron ore or to rob them to get more? To pay the Normans tribute or to refuse, condemning your nation to war? To trade with the caravan or to loot it? Make your choice, but remember: every medal has its reverse...
Prove that your civilization is the most cultured by building the Wonder of the World! You have to put many resources in that project. But it’s worth it, isn’t it?
Whatever you choose, your path won’t be easy. Your plans can be ruined by one of many random events. But it’s no need to get upset! In the moments of crisis there come those, who are the only support of justice. Those, who are ready to lead people into the thick of battle. Heroes – braves, who are lead by you and ready to support people in need. They are ready to die for their ideas. Every one of them has unique talents that can help you in different situations.
The belief of your people is strong not only in heroes, but in the God. Choose your patron, but be careful: that choice will affect the whole game. Pray your god and he’ll give you talent of a trader. Or, maybe, the forest itself will raise against your enemies? Will he reveal the secrets of construction and craft to you? It’s your choice. Choose wise, because life of the whole nation is on you!
Remember that life is hard. Whatever you choose, remember, you path will be thorny.
