I just tried it yesterday with a friend. Survival/crafting game in the LoTR universe. Okay for an evening, not sure we'll spend much more time on it, but for what we paid, it was definitely fun.

Completely noob tip: hammers are not considered weapons, only swords are. Learned that the hard way when we spent all of our iron on hammers to discover those were only used to build, and not attack.

Didn't this game come out this summer? Sometimes, we don't even need to be that patient, it seems!

Ah, I looked at the Steam release, not realizing it was an Epic exclusive

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Ah, makes sense!

I've been playing this for a couple days now, I'm absolutely loving it.

Right when I think the game is done it's hit me with six more features and a bunch more stuff I can unlock. Plus I'm a LotR nerd so the plot is interesting.

Also, the mining songs are amazing and I love that.

Epic, the link is in the OP

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That's strange... I don't see it. I'll check out epic.

[–] Chip_Rat@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ahhh. I see. Can you tell I'm new here?

[–] Blaze@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 week ago

Glad you found it!
