Merchants of Rosewall Review (Aliceria)
TLDR: Very Cute Game, Interesting Story and fun mechanics, but quite one dimnesional Gameply.
I think you should buy it if you look for a cozy Story Game.
You may not want to buy it if you look for a deep Shop Sim Game.
Long Form:
Despite some flaws, I think this is a Game to recommend.
It is a good first game for a new aspiring studio.
It has really giid Aspacts and some Flaws, that make it not greate,
but I has a lot of Fun with it. And I think many others can do to.
Pros:
- quite interesting Story with Fun Characters
- Very nice artwork of the colourful Characters and Areas
- Lots of good Ideas that make this game really unique
- A good UI with quick access to Information
- A good working basic Shop Gameplay Loop
Cons:
- Some Gameplay Elements really Clash with each other
- The progession System is very linear, so you cannot really strategise
- The Crafting System is really interesting, but too slow for the pace of the rest of the Game
- As A result, you may have a greate selection of interesting Crafting recipies, but stick to simple stuff
- You get the Workers much to slow
- Aside from Story locations, the Map is really barren
I hope I could give you a quick Idea of the Game and would recommend to buy it on Sale.
P.S. As of Writing this (7th of March 25) there still is a Gamebreaking Bug that may freze your PC for a minute.
If after Autosaving the Game the Night isn't over, close and restart the game to avoid the freze.
P.P.S. English isn't my native language, so please excuse some errors on my part
