Forager (Early Access) - A Terraria-like Survival RPG with Awesome Artwork

Game Review

Forager is a cute and apealing little top-down edxploration survival RPG.

It plays very similarly to games like The Legend of Zelda (the original) and Terraria where you need to farm, craft, fight, trade, build, explore a free world! It’s a fun, cute, and cheerful little adventure through the game’s creative and colorful world. You can find tons of things to explore and discover and it’ll reward you for it. The game also has a slower pace compared to its rivals, which is good so you don’t feel like you’re lost with too many things to do.

Forager starts you off on a single island which you’re free to explore at your own pace. You can cut down some trees, mine some rocks, and grab some fruit. It is a game where you need to constantly replenish yourself in order to make progress, so you do need to watch out for that and balance it with exploration. As you level up, you can craft more items and build more things. You can also farm crops and gain new skills as you get better at the game and level yourself up.

If you play enough, you can buy new islands to explore which contain more loot, new structures, NPCs, enemies, and even some pretty difficult bosses! You never know what’s next and you can forage and mine for rare resources to craft powerful items. You can build your base however you want and also build an economy to expand. NPCs are rare but they can provide valuable information. The game also has a few puzzle elements to solve.

This is the kind of game that you can just grab and play after a long day at work. It doesn’t require much thinking but is super addicting and will take you to another world. The current build has about 2 hours of gameplay and it’s just so amazing. Try out Forager for yourself and get lost!
