I bought the key, but there are no links anywhere to download the game itself.

Well this sucks. I really love survival games, but the genre that at one point was full a games (mostly slop though), now is surprisingly dry. And to get away from yearly one week Minecraft tradition me and the boys decided to try vintage story. 

The dedicated server set up was quick and straightforward, the game itself looks nice, better than a usual combination of Minecraft shaders and most importantly it has it's own style which is very nice. 
But from the start of the game and during the whole session I felt like the game was actively hostile towards me as a player. I like to play games blind, without looking up any guides, secrets etc. And in game where whenever you look at a block it tells you what it is and shows all the binds how hard could it be? Turns out, quite hard, while my 10+ years old knowledge of TFC that is still somehow is in my brain helped me create first set of tools quite quickly, anything after anything but quick and painless. Trying to craft firestarter for about 10 minutes while being attack by a spider looking... thing, I quickly understood that there is no way I can play the game without an included guidebook. Well, so far for not looking up guides, but it doesn't mean that the game cannot be enjoyed? Well, in this game you start with 10 inventory slots, and while you can craft simple baskets to increase it 22 (which I needed to be told to do so by a friend, because it is only explained in the tutorial that you need to start yourself in a guide book, after it teaches you to use WASD, shift and cntrl), it is still less than Minecraft's 36. And when Minecraft for the last couple of updates tried to remedy at least a little, the issue with inventory management (which lets be fair didn't help much) this game went full in with 27 different stone variants, 31 different grass and crop types and everything in-between, and don't forget substantially lower stack sizes. Thankfully, you can just place stuff on the ground until you get to a proper storage right? At this point we come to the next, and imo, the biggest issue with the game - inconsistency. There is no consistency in interactions with items. Blocks take one block space, you can just place them; sticks\firewood? you can shift+RMB to place the whole stack in place of one block, cool; dry grass? nah sorry you can only start a campfire with one piece; What about stones? Well, you can place them with shift+RMB, unless you can craft tools with them, then shift+RMB will craft a tool head, but you can still place them on a ground with ctrl+shift+RMB, unless it is flint, flint stays in your inventory; Also seeds, you can only place 4 at one block space, not the whole stack.
Even with a couple of hours of playtime I can go on and on about how interactions with the world are just unintuitive and inconsistent most of the time. For example you cannot pick up items with anything equipped in your hand, unless it is the items you try to pick up (sometimes), even though you have inventory space, and tooltip says you to do so (to be fair it shows an empty hand, but like, why?). This just adds to the feeling that games just doesn't want to be played. And the game itself is challenging I would say (in Minecraft terms), which is cool, but challenge shouldn't come from inventory management and fights with UI.
The other thing that was quite hard to wrap my head around is the crafting system. Not only handbook contains every single recipe in the game on a separate page (it is basically way worse version of NEI\JEI or whatever) and not only we inherited Minecraft's terrible crafting grid without gradually introducing recipes like MC does. We also allowed multiple items in the same recipe in the same slot. At this point just make it simple X of Y + A of B makes C, how many recipes there are that you felt the need to introduce this to already terrible system I cannot understand.
The last thing I wanted to mention is "Early Access" label. The game is 10 years in development, insanely scope creeped, and there is still no concrete roadmap (it says so on the roadmap page) or any, at least vague, release window. I feel like game is turning into a Project Zomboid EA title, instead of proper EA title that knows the scope of the development and what game it wants to be. In current state, the game is just a prototype with a lot of funny features. 

And while I left a negative review, I encourage anyone to just try the game for yourself, the refund policy is definitely generous, and without it I would even try it. Big props to devs for the policy. But in my opinion, this is badly balanced Minecraft modpack for 25 bucks.

While the game is ultra cool in the first few hours, it gets stale super quick. Once you realize there is no incentive to do anything, it boils down to just "minecraft with extra steps" I do understand that this is a sandbox game and that apparently that means you need to set your own goals, but that is stupid. If there are enemies in a game they should pose an actual threat. You're totally save in a 1x2 whole during the nights. No need to get fancy building materials either, dirt will suffice. The game is advertised to put more realism into the game but ultimately fails to implement a reasoning behind all of it's items. Why would I build medieval style walls and cities, when a hole in the ground is just as save? Why would I search for materials, hours on end, when a flint spear is enough? Why would I explore the world when there is nothing to see aside from lore text and ruins that hold items I can get anywhere else? Why would I bother with animal breeding and cooking, when berries and meat do the job? Why would I care about stat boosts via balanced diet when there's no threat? Why would I bother fighting Drifters, when all they drop is Flax fiber?

The idea of the game is great, execution is very poor as of now. Who knows, maybe in a couple of years it will be great, but I doubt that. Probably just going to be minecraft with extra steps.

If you make survival mechanics, enemies and story, do them right... Right now there's no reason to do anything whatsoever aside from Collecting/Building just for the sake of it. We already got minecraft for that tho.

Until this godawful website gets a complete and total revamp AND whatever service they are using to deliver keys gets completely scrapped, DO NOT BUY ON THIS WEBSITE. 

There is a chance you will just flat out not receive your key, for multiple days, all the while support is showing absolutely zero signs of life, leaving you with no game but the money is locked up in limbo. You cannot even issue a refund and then purchase from Humble, where you will actually get your key, because as I said, support is showing absolutely zero signs of life. 

Either buy on Humble (or Itch, when that gets added back) where they wont just flat out scam you lol. 

I would love to tell you how great this game is, but I literally cannot play it.

!!!!!STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!!!!

Unfortunately this has been the worst company i have ever had to deal with. I watched countless videos of this game and was excited to try the game, however after making my purchase i was sent multiple emails all at once wanting me to make two accounts for this game not just the usual one. I didnt understand why they would do that yet I created an account on both with the same email and same passwords. After spending 20 Euros for the game (which you can only buy through their own website) i downloaded the game and was prompted with a log in. I attempted to log in and was told my password was incorrect. I reached out for support and explained this all very clearly to the staff yet I was just sent two links to change my passwords. I did this changed both passwords and ensured both were the same once again. I loaded the game and was once again unable to login to my account. Ive had no resolve and have had to ask for a refund as i am physically unable to play this game and the company didnt want to look into their own database and realise there was something wrong on their end. i didnt want to ask for a refund for this game and i still havent been provided said refund yet this company has been the most impossible company to ever deal with.

!!!!!STAY CLEAR OF THIS COMPANY!!!!!


[Response from @Tyron, Feb 2, 2025]: Sorry to hear that you were having troubles getting your login sorted out. We have thousands of users successfully logging in every day without issue, so I am not sure why were not able to log in. I would recommend using a password manager and copy&pasting your password into the game client during login so you cannot accidentally mistype.

Never liked Minecraft.  I'm not sure why I thought I'd like this.  Just not my cup of tea.  Forced first-person view is a game killer for me.

Progression is just far to slow. The so call tutorial teaches u basically nothing useful. Playing this game without a video, reddit or ai or what not guiding is basically impossible. when u apply logical thinking to stuff it doesnt work and instead goes a simpler route but when u think that way for something else it does it in the weirdest way possible.  There just no consistency and I simply cant recommended to anywhere. Its not even fun either. Its just you running and dying 100s of time thank god they give us a map and night is to dark, i get it should be hard but 10+ min of a a literal black screen isnt even a game at that point which also stops all Progression. most some places rain far to much that im so tired of hearing the rain sound and its just so annoying. Also enemies at times will spawn literally 2 blocks away from me and dealing guarantee damage like wow thanks that was so helpful not like enemies drop anything. the UI also needs to be center, like why the hell is one menu to the top left one center then an important one to the other side of hell like bro put it in the damn middle and piss off

Annoying unplayable game. You slapped me with a 24$ fee to play your game and then when I boot the thing you make me play as the world's hungriest being with a metabolism hotter than the sun. Runs through the hunger bar in five minutes and then I'm starving to death looking for anything to eat. But there's nothing to eat because you spawned me in a marsh and there's a perpetual rain that prevents me from starting fire. So congratulations you are perpetually starving the death the game, yes best 24 dollars I ever spent. You make me put in cheat console commands to play your game instead you could have made a tutorial world to get the understanding of the game but no that's too much effort these days for programmers to do. Toturals just weren't in the budget sorry. But you know what we can do we can give you a hunger bar that runs out as soon as you boot into our game. We want to give you any and all excuse to hate us and refund our game. Please do that

I saw the game a few times on YT and finally decided to take the plunge. After slight adjustment of hunger because I really was not able to keep up (which is a testament to how much you can adjust world generation wise and make it as hardcore or laid back as you want), I've sunk 85 hours in 13 days. Send help!

This is a very good voxel crafting survival game. it also has native linux support for fellow penguin enthusiasts !

Has many realistic aspects to it that has drawn the attention of myself, friends and in particular a specific friend that really enjoys when games implement realistic aspects to the gameplay or even just atmosphere or design choices.

They also have built in support for mods (there's a separate page for mods hosted on this site!) with many wonderful additions such as primitive survival that expand on the games survival aspects.

If you're into building this game also features many different blocks and mechanics that let you express yourself with your buildings and styles you can use.

to be honest i don't often leave reviews, but with this i feel like i have to at least thank the developers with one. this game scratched the itch that the other block game did not manage. thankyou for making this game and giving us all a great experience.

Que dire, au final trop de chose. Alors déjà mise a jour tous les 6 mois comparé au flemmard de Mojang qui sorte un mod par an même les fonctionnaires en France travaillent plus vite. Les ajouts fait a chaque mise a jour sont majeurs pas un pauvre bloc de souffre, non ici on parle en concret un nouveau chapitre de l'histoire, mers plus vivantes, améliorations des voiliers. Voilà une vrai mise à jour, le jeu est beau, vraiment beau, agréable a jouer, les activités sont diverses et plaisantes. Avec les mods cela sublime le jeu comme VS roofing, better ruins ou encore primitve survival, les mods de Maltiez ou encore de salty's, il y en a d'autre plus caché comme Ithania canneds food ou encore undergrounds mines bref y'a aussi botania. Le multi à l'air bien fait. L'histoire 'en parlons pas il y des références à des ordres historiques et il y a seulement deux chapitres pour l'instant. Bref de quoi passé des hivers entiers.
