I liked this game a tonnnn when I first got it, 6? years ago (my first game on here actually.) Been replaying it to get 100% completion of the steam achievements! It isn't as incredible as I remember it, but still very very good :3

Just finished my first in game year - I love the relaxed pace of the game. You don't feel rushed to complete anything. And offcourse, having the added bonus of playing as a cute cat makes it worth while

Nov. 2024

when I was about 9 or 10 I was introduced to the creator's previous Warrior Cats fangame, Untold Tales, and absolutely LOVEDD that game it hit every check for me! when I saw that a sequel was out, the same childish joy ignited within me and playing it had much of the same effect, which is Really Hard to do right with game sequels as many people are probably aware lmao. this game is a love letter to its previous fangame, its inspiration (Warrior Cats), and life sim games in general and all done surprisingly well!! I'm really glad I was able to experience it and while I haven't played the creators' new game (Wildwood), I don't have any doubt that it's just as well made!

Oct. 2024

If your dream game is "Stardew Valley if it was Warrior Cats," this is probably the game for you. (Or, nowadays, the sequel, but you won't get the experience of multiple cat factions (iirc) and you'll miss some of the characters' backstory and context. Wildwood Story kind of starts out similarly to how the clans in Warriors had to move to the lake, but you skip the whole journey and rebuild as a single colony (i.e. "clan").) You won't get much farming, though; the cats' lifestyle is more into hunter-gatherer stuff. However, there is an unlock that gives you a taste of direct agriculture, and animal fans can unlock cosmetic pets to accompany your travels! Hunting can be difficult at first, but you'll get used to it. Combat similarly becomes easier over time, but that's less tied to adjusting to controls and the system than to character/ability progression and stockpiling healing items to tank it out when need be. (That isn't to say hunting doesn't get improvements with leveling, but the base process stays the same; remembering to shift/unshift and when animals are liable to detect you is mostly a skill you need to develop yourself.) Social dynamics are a pretty typical "talk frequently, gift frequently"-type loop, but the characters are charming. Some are more interesting than others, of course, but it's inevitable any given player will end up playing favorites one way or another (especially when you can't pursue polyamorous relationships). Storyline is engaging enough, and occasionally even tragic, but fairly generic. Try not to think about how catching rare prey for the Guardian missions to "restore balance" is probably wreaking ecological havoc, or how the colonies are in constant war (you can gain territory peacefully; a fully-pacifist run would be a tad difficult, though, and there are non-cat enemies you need to fight for some of the quests). If you've played the dev's previous work- a fangame called "Warrior Cats: Untold Tales"- a lot of this game will feel familiar. It's been generally streamlined, and has more things to do, but there's a few things left behind in the transfer. For example, possible spouses are premade rather than randomized; while this is good for their writing and character portraits, it does nix some of the emergent storytelling of its predecessor. Furthermore, if you want to go back to domestic life, return is impossible; if you want to play as an ~edgy villain faction~, you'll have to make one for yourself. Overall cosmetic/playstyle customization is much easier to do, though, and you have a much larger pool of spouses to choose from in general; you also get to see kittens inherit a combination of their parents' traits, which is really fun! These cats also don't really seem to know about human gender systems, and kitten-compatability is unlimited; gone are male/female indicators and restrictions. It's great! As a closing note, here's a pro-tip: If you want to keep up difficulty as you get deeper into the game, grinding the increasingly-difficult and resource-managerial mine floors is a solid plan. If you really like this part, you're gonna want to level up your swimming skill. (Even if you never step foot in the mines, it's a pretty useful skill to invest in; max swimming makes environmental navigation a breeze!)
