Let's get it out of the way right off the bat. Yes, it's ugly as sin. I could say "at least it's not pixel art" but that's just damning with faint praise. And the music is even worse.But this captures the heart of Mystery Dungeon style games so well.For those who don't know what that means, Mystery Dungeon is a brand of Japanese roguelikes dungeon crawlers (You may have seen the Shiren, Pokemon, or Etrian flavors). What makes them stand out is how simple they are compared to the western brand of roguelike. There are not six fiddly stats and 40 rings, scrolls, and wands to manage nor are there 40 fiddly tricks to have to cover like keeping a wand of fire to scribble galadriel at opportune moments. You do not have to memorize 40 pages of spoilers and have "blessed +2 gray dragon scale mail" tattooed on your forearm.In exchange for all that, the genre focuses more on gamey style abilities. The wands and abilities you find control enemy pacing, placement, movement, etc. And when there is a horde of monsters bearing down on you with a monster that can paralyze you and another that can drain your levels, your brain will be tested just like the best of roguelikes.So what MD offers is something more innately intuitive and accessible than the overwrought and overfiddly roguelikes you may be accustomed to, but one still quite difficult. If the western flavor is an enormous wargame run by steely-eyed grognards with fearsome neckbeards ready to debate tactics from the galactic wars of the far future to the Civil War, MD is closer to chess.Voyage to Farland is almost a straight reskin of the DS Shiren game. Every ability, every trick is there, with its own spin on balancing. If you can get past the atrocious art style, you will find an excellent homage to a roguelike flavor that just is not well-represented on PC. Complete with Shiren's love of secrets and inventory management, but with different enemy design, pacing, and balancing, it is a wonderful homage from a fellow who is clearly as moved by Shiren as I am.. This is a terrific game. I haven't played the Japanese Mystery Dungeon games this takes it's inspiration from. I guess I've been missing out.Voyage to Farland is a turn-based roguelike. It's very bare bones. There are no classes, skills, stats, gold or shops. You are just your level, hit points, and whatever you pick up in the dungeon. In exchange for all that Voyage to Farland focuses more on consumable item abilities. The items you find control enemy pacing, placement, movement, etc. There is very little direct damage. Gameplay is focused on tactics, exploration, and inventory management. There is a good variety of enemies, enough to keep things interesting. The enemies all have leveled up versions, Sometimes they will level up during a fight when they kill one of your companions, or when you trick them into killing one of their allies.The items are where this game really shines. The variety isn't huge, but it is all useful. No clogging up your inventory with useless junk to sell later. There is just enough so that you can learn what it does, and how to use it effectively. Then you can finally stop dying repeatedly, and watching your companions be butchered by monsters. I definitely recommend it to any roguelike fan.. what this game lacks in graphics, music, polish and originality it more than makes up for in the way it copies the pokemon mysterie/shiren wanderer games I used to play on the DS, would definetly recommend. As a lover of nearly all roguelikes, I'm always on the hunt to try anything that is even remotely considered a classic. Now, from what I gather, Voyage to Farland isn't necessarily a classic, but it is the closest thing we have to Shiren the Wanderer here on Steam. Okay, I'm listening.Well, I bought the ticket and took the ride. I'm out. Now I'd prefer to play my roguelikes in ASCII, so I'm the last person to be picky about artwork, but Voyage to Farland is just on another level of 'ugly'. I'm not sure if someone went nuts at the asset store, or what. There is absolutely no artistic cohesion. But even stranger, there is a huge spectrum of quality from asset to asset. Again, I don't know, but it doesn't work for the game.I wasn't impressed with the mechanics either. Of course I'm not going into detail here because I would need to invest substantially more time into the game. From what I saw, it was pretty run-of-the-mill. I will say that one mechanic I generally hate is rock\/paper\/scissors. I think it's a cultural thing. Regardless I find it 'dumb' and cheap. Caveman stuff.Unless you are used to the Mystery Dungeon series, I'd steer clear. I assume those that are familiar will know exactly what they are in for.. its a slavish ripoff of shiren mystery dungeon with the worst art ever seen in a videogame. This is one of the few mystery dungeon games on Steam and it draws very heavily from Shiren the Wanderer in terms of gameplay. Overall, from a gameplay perspective this isn't too shabby of a game, though there are plenty of quality of life improvements that could be made (prevent accidentally walking into a dungeon; explain dungeons more thoroughly; etc). The music is pretty uninteresting and the art... uh... could probably use complete replacement - at least as far as enemies and characters are concerned. And yes, the art on the menus is completely different from the style used in the actual game.Let's just say that this is not a game you play for the visuals. But if you are a fan of mystery dungeon style gameplay, it's not a bad choice.. quot;Oh look, more RPGmaker-esque trash from a bundle. I guess that I should give it a try before giving it a bad review...">Game is hideous, even compared to the SNES game that started the series it's based on.>Ugly transparent minimap directly on top of my ugly character.>main controls are mapped to A and B, which are nowhere near each other on the keyboard.>First NPC I run into demands that we play rock-paper-scissors.>There are insane button combinations to throw each sign.>This is because the game is a sloppy port of a Nintendo DS homebrew game.>If you lose to the NPC, he tells you "I always win".>This is not a clever meta joke about how this game is rigged against you - you're actually supposed to keep playing until you win an item off him.Greenlight needs to be fixed to keep games like this on Desura where they belong.
