What players say
Do not buy! This game is abandoned, the company "Radiant Entertainment" doesn't even exist anymore and they took the money from the kickstarter for this game and ran. Investors even shelled out 4.5million and they buggered off with it.
I cannot in good faith recommend this game. It will not launch no matter how many times I've tried. This greatly pains me because Stonehearth has been VERY fun from the very limited amount of time I've played. If you want a game like this, just go and play Rimworld instead.
while i've yet to run into most of the technical issues others have reported, and i love the chill townbuilder atmosphere... it is way to easy to start runnung out of new things to do. the game feels incomplete.
