Dorfromantik – Test video for release version 1.0 – Test video for release version 1.0
With Dorfromantik you can get many hours of relaxing puzzle fun in the library for comparatively little money. The aim of the game is to create a landscape that is as large and ideally as pretty as possible from small hexagonal cards that you draw from a deck of cards.
On the individual parts there are meadows, forests, fields, houses, rivers and more, which you insert as appropriately as possible into the existing landscape. For appropriately discarded cards and completed challenges (e.g. building a contiguous forest with 200 trees) you get points that refill your card stack. If this is empty, you start a new round.
Various biomes and unlockable cards provide variety even over a longer period of time.
Finally, unlockable cards, which you get by completing tasks, ensure long-term motivation. These can be variations on well-known motifs, or completely new parts, such as a beaver dam, a castle ruin or a granary.
During the now completed Early Access phase, the developers expanded the puzzle game with additional practical features and new content such as new game modes and biomes. In the meantime, Dorfromantik has become a great game with its charming paper cut look, the relaxing soundtrack and the simple but motivating gameplay that we didn’t want to leave in the test.
