Amazing, but a few things
Sat Jul 24 2021 Ter--TerForager is exactly what it sounds like, a foraging game. But there’s something about the way things get done that’s just so satisfying. The game starts off with you on an island with a bunch of trees, rocks, ore veins, and some berries. You can buy more islands with more treasure, fight bosses, go through wormholes that take you to a not so empty void, and meet all kinds of NPC’s with….interesting demands in exchange for treasure. Forager, to me at least, is the perfect game that never gets boring. However there are some minor bugs that I really hope could get fixed. At the rainbow puzzle island, I was using some bombs and some of the mushrooms disappeared before I could do the puzzle and now I’m unable to get the treasure chest. This means I can never get whatever was inside it, possibly my last artifact, the Holy Relic. Another thing, is there any way we can make droids smaller? I love the idea of having them destroy trees and bushes and everything but they’re just so annoying to have floating around and I know that I can just sit them down on my buildings but to be honest I just really like having them out. Also, last thing, please make a cursor option or something, I’m trying to use an obliterator to get rid of some islands to make space for lighthouses but it’s so hard and I often have to build more stuff to break remaining land. That’s all I had to say, I hope you read this, your game is amazing!
Very cute!! Ideas?
Thu Jul 22 2021 Razzy06I’m not super far into the game, I bought it yesterday, but I am HOOKED. (It’s four am and I’m playing cause I can’t sleep) The art is so cute, the music is perfect with it, I love the skill point system and it’s satisfying to have your islands clear, then clearing them again. I also like that we get little stories after unlocking feats. I do have a few ideas, although it’s possible they’re in the game already. 1. Placing and planting flowers? I’m one of those people that like to make my island pretty, and so putting flowers all around would definitely do that.(again, it is already very cute) 2. House and furniture? What if you could like build your own house and make like little chairs and things? Also a barn would be cool, so you could raise animals! 3. No plants? What if like you could place something, and within those borders, no trees or ore would spawn? My crafting stations keep getting blocked. 4. Lumberjacks. What about like axes and different kinds of trees? 5. Pets? What if you could tame certain monsters, or purchase a cat/dog? Anyways, some of that might be in the game already and I have yet to unlock it. If you’ve read all my rambling and are considering getting the game, do it, it’s worth it, and $8 is like nothing for this, I would’ve paid 10-15. It’s clear that the dev/s have put alot of time into this. Get the game. 5/5⭐️
Absolutely addictive but a few bugs
Thu Dec 10 2020 AltheamtpLet me start by saying this is probably the most addictive mobile game I’ve ever played and I’ve played a lot, however there are a few bugs. The main 2 of which I’ve noticed is a bug with the lighting rod having infinite ammo (the bar never goes down) this being obviously a good bug. However one that prompted me to write this review is I’ve played about 10.5 hours on 1 world (and am still not even close to finishing anything, love that there’s lots to do) but when I loaded up the game I died almost instantly and upon reloading I noticed I only have 1 heart. I’d gotten my total hearts up to around 10, and now anything in the game can 1 shot me. I’ve done everything I can think of to try and get my hearts back but it seems I’ll just have to use those blue orbs and build them back up, just a little annoying that they completely disappeared.
Edit: I forgot to mention I also gained 10 emp grenades when I loaded in and I had lost my hearts, something I’ve never made a single one of or bought. I know nothing about coding but seems like my hearts turned into grenades somehow. Again absolutely love the game but this bug is very annoying
An Honest Review
Mon Nov 09 2020 Captain_AnarchyI’ve put enough time in at this point to make a real and honest assessment. First I heard of this game was at launch on iOS, which I was actually surprised by given the fact that games are my life ha. I love to support the devs so I wanted to give it a try, and no joke from the first minute of gaming on, I have been hooked. What IMMACULATE DESIGN. Truly. Not only that, but the ART is beautiful with every pixel seeming to have thought behind it. The MUSIC is great - catchy, fun, and fitting (which most people don’t think about but is extremely important). ADDICTIVE as all hell, once you stop playing you immediately want to play again (which is sign number one of a game GREAT game). The CONTROLS flow sooo nice, and feel great when playing, with one minor issue being the move and action buttons-I feel like I have to hit them just right (but that could also be just me, mind you). SUMMARY-an extremely well done, addictive, cool, quirky, well programmed, well designed, well composed, and overall just a super fun great game. 5/5 all day. Great job devs
LOVE this game! Just one suggestion
Wed Nov 27 2024 Mush LemonThis has been my favorite survival game of all of them (better than minecraft in my opinion), I just want to tell you about the obliterator, or other placing mechanics. So, when you place mini structures like the bed, or the test dummy, you have to face it and can only place it 1 square next to you. Same goes with the Obliterator and when placing landfill, It’s even more annoying, because the crosshair for placing it often vanishes or wont let me place it down. I Find it extremely difficult, and would like the building mechanic for mini structures to be like building big structures like the lighthouse. You can drag and actually break/place anything anywhere. The obliterator may be ruined by this, so how about adding an extra button for the obliterator, just for breaking the ground. Just an Idea, man. Thanks, Love the game! :D
P.S i made an extra world, deleted it, and when i came back it’s still there. :P
Amazing game, annoying bug I experienced
Wed Oct 06 2021 Anonymous61826Forager is a phenomenal game and I love it. One frustrating issue I was having is the game save. One file I had played 6 hours on it with no issues at all, however I’ve noticed a major saving issue. Any progress I made in a good chunk of time would be lost and the game would restore it to whatever previous save it registered. So for awhile I was making progress in the game for it to be reset where I was when I played it at the 6 hour mark. It’s very strange because the game still registered the file play time and I had allocated 10-12 hours total played even though all progress I made wasn’t saved. I went into the settings/menu and exited the game so it took me to the Home Screen of the game. Other than this major issue I encountered with some minor bugs, this game is amazing. I’m genuinely surprised that the developers made this game compatible for iOS and it runs fairly smooth.
Mobile’s a Bit Clunky
Wed Jan 12 2022 FlyingRainbowKittiesI love Forager! I have it on my PC and I decided to buy it on my phone as well because it’s super fun and a great way to kill time. This port is great, except for the controls. I know that there are problems placing things like landfills and floor/road blocks in the console ports and it’s prevalent here as well. The ability to set up a dedicated d-pad with transparency on the left side of the screen would improve handling SO much, I don’t mind having to use the right side of the screen to aim the bow, but I wish I didn’t have so many instances where I’m trying to shoot something and end up dying because I kept walking into a corner. Forager’s a lovely game and if you’re thinking of picking it up, you definitely should! I just hope that the mobile port gets some control updates ;w;
New stuff
Sun Jul 10 2022 add bdjxtvyxtcycuYou should add cool new stuff like more Islands and more quest and a a rocket to space so players can collect moon rocks but you need a helmet and a new item like Metal and use that make new stuff like the rocket and new space glass and how you craft it is by getting glass and how you make that is by just 20x glass and you use the glass for the rocket and the helmet. You can use the moon rocks to craft upgrades to you tools. you will need a launch pad to get to the moon and how to craft is well you need metal and electrical brakets and you make those by the new facility I’ll talk about that later but you need electrons that we have in game and you will need uranium. Now the rocket, you craft it by electrical brackets and space glass and More idk though but the facility we use it for the rocket and that’s all I got for now but I love you game
A Great Craft + Slash
Wed Dec 02 2020 JamesZaForager gets something right that a lot of crafting/exploration games get wrong: balance! The progression mechanic seems very well thought out, the pace is just fantastic. The graphics and animations are great, it’s cute, fun and bouncy. The developer definitely put his heart and soul into this. Good for Humble Games to pick it up and give him his shot.
The only complaint I have is the touch controls. This is a problem with many ports. When I got Forager on my PC my first thought was, “this game is begging to be a mobile game.” The scope and control of it just seemed to be a perfect fit.
I think the port just doesn’t put enough time and thought into making the controls perfect on mobile and there are some parts of the game that are impossible to do because of it. I don’t doubt they will fix it in upcoming updates. I also will need to try it with the controller, but I think touch controls need to be perfect above all else.
I really loved the developer sharing his story in the extra comics section. We’ve come a long way from developers needing to hide their names on Easter eggs in order to get credit. This is a work of passion and love and it totally comes through in the playing experience.
Fun but controls hinder play
Tue Feb 22 2022 ProPhotog293I enjoy this genre of game, Terraria being my favorite, so I picked this up when I learned of it. I was able to progress decently for a while, but I’ve now reached the point where many building items are available (roads, landfill, etc), but I can’t reliably place them to build anything due to the controls.
The controls for placing many decorative items require positioning the character to where the auto-snapping cursor highlights the target square. The problem is that if there is any other item at all nearby, whether it’s a forageable or a building, the cursor snaps there instead and prevents placement.
Some items allow entering a placement mode that permits selecting the exact square(s) you want one at, and this works well. Until all placeable items can do that, it remains an incomplete game. The existing mechanic for those items is inadequate.
