What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The story is visual-novel esque, with simple probability-based attribute tests to navigate situations for penalties or bonuses in the daily action-point based forging section of the game.
Unless you decide to grind for progression or stockpiling, it's pretty quick to move from beat to beat.
I hope there can be a collection feature, similar to a famous sword compendium, where players can save and view the weapons they are especially proud of forging in story mode.
(4) The photo mode already has a good variety of scenes, but the lighting system could still be improved, such as by allowing adjustments to brightness, angle, color, and so on.
Suggestions for improving the swordsmithing interface and mechanics:
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. 3 more themes were each raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and are not shown.
