![]() ![]() I willfully dismantled a lucrative fish-trap farm after the repetitive sounds made me reevaluate my relationship with commercial farming.įor an indie jam game with a small back-up team, Forager presents remarkably well. The only area of the presentation that’s lacking is the sound effects, which tend to grate if you have too many things happening at once. Quirky, soft pixel art uses colour and movement to define itself, opening up a world you feel some genuine affection for. Visually, this is a joyful example of simplistic indie graphics at their best. This gives the world a cluttered feel, which initially can be a little demanding, but with careful planning can become a thing of beauty. I can’t say this presents much of a challenge in terms of scouting -resources are in (sometimes overwhelming) abundance, and come in new forms with each unlocked land type. Resource gathering is the backbone of Forager, with spawning raw materials and an upgradable range of tools at your disposal. For a game so simple there is no shortage of meaningful pathways to follow. You can master the magic arts, or become an archaeologist. The opportunities are there to further capitalism and expand your empire, or merely settle with a farm and befriend animals. Starting with four main sections, you expand outwards depending on what aspects of the game you value most. This skill tree is one of my favourite things about Forager. Once you choose your gameplan, you can equip yourself with perks from an elaborate skill tree that unfurls according to your personal playstyle. These include industrial machinery, farming equipment, buildings, commerce centres, and magical implements among other things. The premise of this seemingly simple game is to forage, scavenge, and then build various items to help you on your way. You will passively find yourself clicking on rocks for the best part of an hour and not feel a single regret. Worried as I was, that the days of willful grinding were behind us veterans of a past age, Forager brings it back with style. ![]() Despite appearances, Forager is not a clicker game as such – relaxing and compulsively satisfying it may be – but it has enough depth to keep you searching and building long into the night. The resource gathering must go on.Īnd so continues Forager, a game that blends idle-resource-management-crafting-roguelite and somehow makes it work.
