The mobs level up with you so there isnt really a grind, which i like but this may put some people off. Will update as i progress. Had high hopes for the start of the game but it ended up kind of slow. Well alright so this game is a bunch of good but their is one major issue, the resolution, when you start the game its in a little screen, while its possible to read, after all its about the size of a Nintendo Gameboy Advanced Screen so its possible to read, its hard, the fact that you cannot adjust the screen size or the resolution is major down for me, but like I said for the rest its a pretty good game, but its a tad confusing, it takes a fair amount of trial and error to figure out how stuff work, but when you figure it out all seem pretty good. Anyhow I'd say it need to be updated with a Option Menu, like most game even the old SNES ones to some level, and that Menu need a Graphic option to allow to change resolution, now I did find its possible to turn the game to full screen, but the issue is when you do that it stretch the image and thus isn't the best of options. So yea, once that issue will be corrected this game is going to be golden, well from what I have seen up to now anyway.I still recommend the game, but people with poor sight might want to avoid it for now.. DO NOT BUY THISShort - I can't recommend this game to anyone who values grammar or has any taste in art when it comes to character portrait design.Long Barter Empire is a pretty grand idea for a game company I've never heard of. Crafting, Farming, Economy, Adventuring, Marriage, Adoption, Open-World, etc. are a few of the things this game tries to tackle and in my opinion doesn't do very well.Let's begin with Crafting. Crafting is partially wonderful, partially. In order to craft new items you must level your crafting ability. That is something you see in a lot of games and is not an issue. The problem is that some levels take a ridiculous amount of items to get enough experience to level, and you must craft every item individually. No mass-production here, if you need to craft 40 of X to level, you have to sit there for 5 - 10 minutes playing the crafting minigame to craft each one. Mainly this is monotonous and gets old really fast.Farming is SUPER EASY. If you imagined any form of difficulty with it then go back to Harvest Moon. In this, you plant a seed and just wait. No watering for multiple days cultivating your plant, just wait. Approx. 2 minutes after planting your seed it is harvestable. I swear I got a free farming game app for my smartphone instead of an $8 game.Graphically (Not talking about the RPGMaker stuff) the game is garbage. The NPC potraits (while some a little creepy) are leaps and bounds above the player potraits. Player portraits remind me of someone taking a picture of their friend with a smartphone and then using a free app to cartoonify (is that a word?) them. The portaits in no way match the art-style of NPC portraits so it just looks poorly made. One or the other would have been fine (NPC Style is better IMO), consistency in art is way better than whatever they were trying. Landscapes use the typical RPGMaker textures, which is not bad at all.... UNTIL.... You find an area that tries to mix two VERY different ecosystems together. The game maker does not even attempt to create some sort of beffer between areas or redraw the texture to fit better. They simply put the textures side by side, creating a very obvious line down the center of the map (It looks horrible)Please do not buy this... Unless you are punishing yourself for something.... Ok i bought it for you guys.Never, never buy this : it opens in a stamp screen and you cannot see anything, the intro is spamming you, yes you can read all the team names ... well you will become mad after the first minutes. If you have not saved, gl, you will have the same opening again. First combat ; nothing, totally bugged, it resolved without me seen anything, clicking as mad on space or backspace, no effect.Succeeded to open it in full screen by clicking right on the window. Ahh noticed you can open the option with the F1 key, hope it can help people having yet bought the game. Playing it is not so bad if you have solved all above. Combats remind me my firsts games in the 1990'. I spent 9 euros to tell you that, thank me and have a better luck. Really, you think this to be sold on steam ?. good game but feals incompleat somehow not worth the cost to buy and plenty of bugs that will make geting to the spots in game that ur after. it also meantins in game somthing but never gives a explanation as to what it is... and the east invasion part we dont get to join in in that from west point of view 1 map is big but only has 1 main 1 side quest wast of space 6\/10 grafics 7\/10 story 9\/10 for the idea of barter empire but right now it fails to reach that by geting a 6\/10. I'd like to say beforehand that I do think the game has potential, yet Barter Empire has several major flaws that impact game enjoyment quite negatively.Firstly, the story starts off rather generically: you are a girl dropped off by blue people, recued by an old man and his dog and awake to find you've lost your memories. He sends you off to a nearby town to meet up with Maxie and the pooch comes along to help. Lets skip the rest of the story for now.Along the way you'll run into several characters with a ! mark over their heads, these generally have something to say that is relevant to main- or subquests, or to one of the various 'foraging and crafting' spots. The latter essentially boils down to getting a tool, going to a spot and then pressing a button that will let a little script run its course to determine if you get goodies or not.There are many scripts in the game and some of them might be considered the good points of it. Sadly there is a lot more in terms of bad points: character portraits vary between (bizarre) GCH made portraits and handdrawn ones in a different style that 9\/10 times do not match the sprite they nominally represent. Generic RM graphics are mixed with some selfcrafted ones on small maps, titanic enemy sprites are effortlessly slain by tiny character sprites and so on.Worse though are the graphic mistakes concerning event sprites, if you activate a chest, button, sparkle or whatever there's a chance it will morph into a different part of the spriteset from which it came. Music is a bit bland, and drowned out almost by the looping sound-effects. And dialogue... For crying out loud, what dialogue is in the game is not just corny enough to provide popcorn for three movie theaters for a year, but contains so many typo's and grammar mistakes its painful to watch. In conclusion, do not buy this game unless its discounted heavily. It has some potential, but the current build (from 2013!) is so unpolished as to be a concept rather than a pre-alpha release and should not have been released on Steam as such.. I want to like Barter Empire as it has all the elements of a great game. It has nice mapping, a large range of equipable items and a robust gathering\/mining and crafting system. Unfortunately, the game is let down by some questionable design decisions that make it unplayable.The first and by far the most detrimental would be the enemy battlers. They are google images of animals that are three times the size of the heroes and come as quite a shock after seeing the level of detail in the mapping. If you were to change them to the RTP battlers I would immediately recommend the title. It is that bad and interestingly there are no screenshots of them on the store page. I wonder why?The next would be the style of the portraits. The realistic facesets clash with the rest of the assests and just look unprofessional. I want to focus on the story and dialogue, but I'm just distracted by these ugly pictures. The RTP facesets are far better. The last would be the gathering animations. In general all of the resource gathering wastes your time. The huge "Ore Mined" picture is nice, the first time. When collecting a resource takes 10 seconds it becomes tiring. I would recommend three sound effects followed by a dialogue box. That's all the player wants and expects. By all means put the fancy pictures up for the first time the player performs them, but they add nothing to the game after that.I want to play more as I enjoy resource gathering and crafting. I can look past the early combat being boring (standard attack to win) and some of the dialogue falling flat. There are also some troll moves by the developer (sword guy) that annoyed me but they add character and charm. The enemy battlers are terrible and are the weirdest design choice I have ever seen in an RPGMaker game. I just don't understand...
