The overall music is quite catchy and has a nice jingle that never got old as I played more and more of the game. The main audio in Forager is its overworld music & the work of the facilities around you. You may recognize some other familiar nindie faces if you complete certain ones…. Now, Nintendo Switch doesn’t have use for achievements yet, but that didn’t stop HopFrog from including them in Forager for Nintendo Switch! The game features over 84 different ones! Feats range from overall time played, talking to npcs, owning pieces of land, and more! Why should you bother completing these achievements? Well, let’s just say you’ll unlock some neat costumes for your character. These puzzles & dungeons often yield additional resources and may even sometimes give you special pieces of gear. You’ve leveled up, earned money, and expanded your land, now what? Well, keep expanding your land! Additional pieces of land that you unlock may feature special puzzles or even a special dungeon. Facilities you can unlock via this feature include Forges, Banks, Vaults, Markets, and more, but only if you have enough resources to make them. Bonuses may include faster resource gains from buildings (like forges), craftable weapons & gear, or even increases in material gains from things like trees and ore.

These skills range from additional bonuses that help you out as you progress, to the ability to unlock new building recipes.

Leveling up in Foragerwill allow you to earn skill points that allow you to unlock special skills.

Level up and use skill points to unlock additional bonuses and facilities. Be mindful of your stamina though! Find berry bushes for an immediate source of food as all of these actions decrease your overall energy. From ore to trees, gather absolutely everything to start earning experience points that’ll help you achieve level-ups. How do you do this? Well, start gathering resources that regenerate across your island. The gameplay of Foragerrevolves around you exploring and expanding the area of land that you are able to build on. You start off with a single piece of land, and are soon tasked with expanding your area, meeting many of the world’s NPCs, and taking on quests! As you expand and take on quests, you may discover dungeons that await you with puzzling challenges. While there isn’t an immediate story to Forager, the game allows you to set off on your own adventure and to choose your own path on how you’d like to play the game. The game is developed by HopFrog and published by Humble Bundle for the Nintendo Switch. Starting as a simple Game Jam project for standalone developer HopFrog, Forager is a 2D open world game that is inspired by your favorite exploration, farming, and crafting games like Stardew Valley & The Legend of Zelda. Note: I lost 4 of 8 hour gameplay I did in a single streak.By Switch Nindies Forager, Gaming, Hopfrog, Nintendo, Nintendo Switch, Switch Nindies, videogamesĬategory: Adventure, Simulation, Strategy, Puzzle almost had my Factory… And I come back and the game is like “screw you! The shop doesn’t exist anymore!” Please!! FIX THIS! I had my hammer, and numerous other items unlocked. Please implement a feature to manually save the game and an option for a cloud save to be 100% sure it saves… I bought a market, did a bunch of things and EVERYTHING is lost. However there’s a HUGE issue… I play… save the game by exiting properly and the game literally deleted HOURS of gameplay! It happened to me two times in both times I played, despite me making sure it’s saving: the save icon even is present! The game randomly starts to lag.l. I love the game, very addictive, playing hours nonstop.
