Just to start of: Great story and well designed game!

REMEMBER: Game is still at at very early stage!

Story:

-You start out of nowhere kinda lost at a world full of sadness and fear. As you reach the fist Village you find some people that accept their fate and some that want to fight back. While helping the village to gain respect of its people you find a lonely man right out of the village borders and he will mostly become your first follower to help you with the mission of defeating all evil of this world.

-While you play have in mind you need to hear the quest since sometimes your response depends on something that was said to you before and you may pass wrong information and it won't go well.

Concept:
-The concept of really creating you Village, City, Kingdom where all of the npcs are really a part of it as workers, guards or even companions for exploring, gathering and fighting.
Its not a manager, sim, idle... You control and decide as if you where there, building a real group to fight for freedom.
For me that is perfect, THIS IS THE GAME I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!


Combat:
-For me the combat it rather hard but that isn't bad. It actually brings something that most of the other games lacks that is difficulty towards the game, since that makes it more real. Other games you can 1v3 easily and in this one you need more strategy, patience and mostly followers.

Economy:
GOLD: You win a lot of gold at the game for me the most i've used it for, was for food with some merchants since buying from them is way easier at the start since most of them give bonuses, and not expensive.

RENOWN: This is the main "COIN" of the game since you get it from quest and killing bandits (same with gold) with this currency you will recruit your companions to rise your kingdom and build your SIGNS (Fast travel).

After this basic introduction and analysis this is another resume of the game:

The game is great, you must know that after a certain point it will get very repetitive to progress but it is a fun challenge!

Just to make everything clear, i do like the game it is great and well developed.
I set to Not Recommended as in my opinion for the price and years since the last game they could have put more work onto what i will say.
But if you never played any FarmManager i really do recommend playing you will have fun as i had.

The main issue is that there is i would minor gameplay changes from Farm Manager 2018 that i first played.
Came across FM21 looking for a different approach to the market, farms and utilities. All i got was same from before, although there were new stuff added that FM18 did not have and was a great addition to the game like Fishing and Power managing(optional).

Any sentence with " * " had something changed since the last review!

*Review UPDATED at 08/3/2023

After some updates i can affirm the DEV is working a lot towards the game and really listening to the players as the most common bugs are quickly resolved and at the same time new stuff is added. Still not going to re-write what i wrote at my first review but i will change anything the significantly change!
Great updates and progression in such quick time!


In mechanics the game has a great line towards greatness, it is possible to gave some improves as well as the utility of your Monsters. I'm yet to find a good use for them except for getting the "essences".
The game has frequent updates that actually improves the game and optimizes it.
As i great fan of idle games this game is a NEW GAME WITH POTENTIAL.

My main problem is the UI, it is very confusing since there are multiple stuff at the same page and there are almost none space between each upgrade/item.
Farming: (NEW UPDATE 7/30/2023): Fixed the auto-plant, made it work perfectly.

*Following up with the update above but now with the current update 8/03/23; was added a auto purchase of Lotus and it amazing making you idle the caves easily with no chance of dying if you monster has leveled enough.

*(NEW UPDATE 8/3/2023): Removed notifications; great in my opinion since it was spamming all the time on my screen

So in conclusion:

I bought and would buy the game again.
100% Worth the price

Recommended purchase!

One of the best games ever made only problem is the ammount of DLC with absurd price!

I do still recommend but its better with the xbox pass since it has some DLC with it

Hard to say anything that is not: PERFECT!

100% Buy and you will not regret

A lot of promotions around so keep an eye always.
