  • Bellwright is a medieval, survival, RPG with crafting, settlement building, companion management, automation, exploration, combat, war, questing and a storyline. Its got some big ambitions but does it deliver and ultimately is it good?
    Well, i've played it and in this video I share my thoughts on what i've experienced so far.

    I've had this one on my wishlist for some time now, and every once in a while, check in to see what's going on. My own take on this video, to me it shows that this game needs more time for more development before I can get into it. I wouldn't object to watching you do a play through Spanj If you wished. Not sure if the chaos crew would be into this though.

    I joined most of ChiselChips over 3 hour long Twitch livestream of this game yesterday, with him and Gwen "the shield maiden". The game looks interesting, but the progression was slow, and the game dynamics weren't always obvious. They spent a fair amount of time figuring out how to do things, how to unlock things in the research table and get things built. Assigning your NPC to a task, etc. We were also wondering why you have four meat skewers over your fire pit, but can't seem to make a simple spear to fight the wolves. We never did figure out how to make anything beyond the club and the axe. I also found it interesting that you could assign an NPC to do research at the table by assigning something to research, but you couldn't research it by yourself. At least they never did. You could make something yourself if you left the crafting window open and just waited for the timer to run out. I think it was a full minute to make a simple trap. Exciting video that. Although the game has promise, I doubt I will be buying it myself. Enshrouded looks a lot more entertaining.

      All I see in this comment is maybes and idks based off someone else who couldn't figure things out. I'm sure in the right hands people will find ways to do all the things they couldn't. Therefore doubling the progression time if not more. Sounds to me like it's similar to tarkov in the sense it doesn't hold your hand and there is a lot of great features that will be found still.

    The running animation and the transition between running and walking are bad.

    Casually spoiling the whole story... luckily i paused before the whole thing got revealed. Can we get a spoiler alert next time please?

      The intro of the game tells you everything I "spoil" in this video, I dont think it really counts as a spoiler when its the first thing the game tells you.

    The game looks great ,but unfortunately its DK/Snail games both have a terrible history of half done games and ripping customers off ,if only it was from different devs ,will never buy anything from snail after Ark ascended .
