Hello everyone,
I'm new to all of this, so I hope you won't be too hard on me. We'll polish the format as we go. I've noticed that most of the posts here are pretty formal, and forgive me, but that's just not my style, we're not at a funeral. And since I'm a newcomer, I can't exactly write one of those classic posts telling everyone what they should or shouldn't do. Quite the opposite, actually. What I can share are the fresh impressions that come with those first stumbles everyone here has probably already gone through, but that might still be useful for other newcomers.
To start with, I came across the game because it looked interesting. The landing page is attractive and well designed, giving you just enough information to get a good idea of what the game is about. I've also played other games in the same genre that I really enjoyed, so I decided to give this one a try. I have to admit, though, that the first few minutes made it pretty difficult for me.
So let me ask you something: am I the only one, or is this game almost impossible to play? Not because the gameplay itself is overly complicated, but because the interface is tiny, small, micro. And yes, my eyesight isn't what it used to be either, but I honestly think that whoever designed this either uses monitors the size of a football stadium or simply didn't realize that some things are practically impossible to read.
How do you all manage? Right now, I've been taking screenshots and zooming in afterwards just so I can read things, but that's pretty cumbersome. And if you try to scale the interface up, it actually looks even worse, because the text overlaps and everything becomes a mess. It's awful. I even opened a support ticket to ask if there was any way to make the interface larger because it seemed so strange to me, but apparently that's just how it is, and there's no option to change it.
This is where I'd like to mention my experience with support. Maybe I just got lucky, or maybe they put extra effort into helping new players, but I have to say they replied quickly, in Spanish, without it feeling like an automatic translation, and in a genuinely friendly and approachable way, not with the usual overly formal response that sounds like it was written by a robot. I really appreciated that, and it's one of the reasons I've decided to keep giving the game a chance. So far, it's starting to hook me.
The tutorial is good. It's a bit basic, and even after finishing it there are still some mechanics that take a while to understand, but overall I think it's well done. You also have to leave a little room for experimentation, not everything needs to be explained right from the start. On top of that, it isn't very long. At first, when you see there are 50 steps, it's a little intimidating, but in the end it doesn't feel like a chore. So that's another point in the game's favor.
The rewarded tutorials, the "First Week" ones, are pretty enjoyable too. They don't feel tedious either. The problem is that they're tucked away in a little subsection, hidden in a corner that's easy to miss. I only found them because I was clicking around out of curiosity, but it would have been very easy to overlook them. And since they're only available during your first 30 days, I'm pretty sure a lot of people end up missing them.
Anyway, I think that's enough for now. I'm going to keep playing and see how this adventure turns out. And since comments are free (or even rewarded), I'd encourage you all to share your own experiences. That only makes things more interesting for everyone who reads them.
See you around.
Be good, be patient ... and mine a lot.
