Brave New Town is a relaxing idle strategy game with unexpectedly addictive gameplay
The game stands out both with excellently mastered ingredients and attention to detail, which can be seen both in graphics, texts and animations. It can be seen that just such a small thing as the animation of collecting raw materials will do a lot for the playability and fun of the game.
When playing, the player is really interested in what the next levels will look like, who else I can meet, etc.
The disadvantage of the game is that its development seems to be very horizontal (with the exception of the brilliant line of the joker). It would be appropriate, for example, to chain building development one to another, or add some mini-quest (like go and dismantle the radio tower and i will join you, find a shack and bring solar panels from it and we can use them, ...).
The texts are fine, but there could be a lot more of them. The graphics are pleasant, nice, in the style I'm used to from the FW team and which we all like :)
minor minuses:
- I repeatedly left the camp, automatically clicked (LMB) and was back in the camp... and again. maybe some small timeout for morons like me.
- the buildings are floating in the air, it would like some create some shades, or some platform under them
- I don't mind the motorbike driving on mountains, but the water is too much :-) But it is true that a slight slowdown in some areas (mountains, forests) would be nice
- building upgrades should be made onscreen - i.e. wait until the dialog box disappears and then make changes, perhaps with some flash effect.
- what happend to joker? I need to know it!
- some short text lines with characters in town would be nice!
minor pluses
+ iconographic and simple tutorial (mouse control)
+ production of materials is very cool! love it!
+ ingredients <3
