Forager – A Cute and Highly Addictive Game

May 24, 2019

I just recently discovered Forager from my boyfriend and I was immediately hooked! It’s such a cute game too, so I thought it would be a good idea to share this with any of you who might be interested in playing something new.

What is Forager?

Forager is a 2D casual survival game for PC created by HopFrog. Unfortunately, it’s just a single-player game, but don’t let that get you down – it’s lots of fun! Like other survival games, there’s a lot of exploration and crafting to be done. Gather resources like wood, coal, stone, food, build industrial structures, make money, and fight off monsters! You can find this game on Steam, Humble Bundle, or Gog (no link on this post is an affiliate link, otherwise I would’ve said it above).

 

Starting Out

You are but a lowly cute white blob person thing and you’ve got a pickaxe. You start off on an island filled with trees, flower bushes (which yield yummy berries), regular stone, and maybe some iron ores (the rocks with blue crystals on them). Your job is to gather them with your pickaxe and clear the land. They will respawn over time as you chop them down. Eventually, you’ll start to see green slimes, which you can use the same pickaxe to kill them. Eventually, you’ll get yourself to level 2 and accumulate resources, which is where the game gets a bit more interesting.

 

forager menus

Menus [ESC]

As time goes on you’ll be going to the menu more often. This menu contains five main sections respectively: Gear, Items, Build, Buy Land, and Configure. You can access all of this by pressing your ESC button.

 

Gear

Contains your current equipped items, and any seals or artifacts you may have.

You can access your list of Skills here. Every time you level up, you gain one Skill Point. As a beginner, you will only have access to four skills: Industry, Foraging, Magic, and Economy. Unlocking one of these skills will lead to more skills available in that same topic or category and help you further develop your island.window of skills in forager

Unlocking Industry will help you unlock different structures or machines that can help … well, industrialize your island(s). You can unlock things like more sophisticated forges and sewing machines, power plants, factories, drills, etc.

Foraging can help you gather more resources, stay full for a longer time and thus reduce your energy loss, and even gain EXP by eating.

Economy can unlock more ways to gain money through markets, banks, etc.

Magic can unlock Faeries, which are basically little goodies floating around the island that give you bonus exp. Progressing through the magic skill tree can also unlock cauldrons and scrolls.

Items

This is where you can view all of the items you’ve picked up in your backpack. You start with 16 slots and can later expand your backpack to fit more items in it.

 

Build

This window lets you build structures for:

  • Industrial (like furnaces, forges, and sewing machines)
  • Farming (like bridges, fish traps, wind mills)
  • Economic (like banks, markets, vaults)
  • Magical (like cauldrons, inscription tables)

 

Buy Land

You can expand your islands and unlock different areas like the Desert, Snowy islands, and even Hell. Depending on the island, you may get some puzzles to solve in exchange for a treasure chest!

I’m still actually struggling to solve this puzzle in my current game. If any of you actually play this and get to this island and solve this puzzle, let me know!

 

Config

This is where you adjust things like sound, graphics, language, etc.

 

Game Play

The controls and interface are really easy to learn. As a beginner, you are shown the basics of what to do, and what to build. As you continue to level up, you learn that certain structures can help you either make more money or easily gain EXP to level up. It gets addicting because you just want to keep progressing, learning new skills, and expanding your land! I would say there is a bit of strategy in learning what skills to learn first before unlocking others but ultimately, all paths end the same way. It’s just a matter of whether you are able to get there quickly or not!

 

Some Cons

There were a few things that I didn’t quite like, though they’re not many. For one thing, I found it rather annoying that you’re only allowed to sell an item for the entire quantity that you possess by right clicking, or selling an item individually (x1) by left clicking. You can’t manually enter the number you want to buy or sell – it’s all, or one.

Another one for me was that the information that the skills panel gives about each skill you can unlock wasn’t very helpful. It can tell you that it’ll unlock certain structures, but how are they helpful to you and the other stuff you’ve already unlocked? There’s no indication of that so you can only guess what it is and take the risk of using 1 skill point on it.

Third, big structures like windmills and lighthouses can really obstruct your view unless you physically go behind them. Unless you move behind that place to check, there’s no way to easily see if there are enemies hiding or gold ores behind it!

 

Overall

The thing you should take away from this post is: try forager! I love the graphics, the controls are really easy to understand and use, and even though it’s 1p only, you’ll be kept busy for quite some time. It’s even a small game file too, so it’s a quick download (for me, this actually matters because my internet is so slow and if it’s a big file size, I have no hope of playing it any time soon)! I totally would recommend that you all give it a try.

    Forager looks like a super cute game! Oh man, I haven’t played games like this in forever. I like that there are different things to do without being overwhelmed. I think I like this more than Minecraft, hehe. It is cool that you get to level up and basically build your own community. Glad you enjoyed playing the game! Thanks for sharing your thoughts :).

    This looks so cute! I love survival games like Minecraft and Terraria, this seems like a mix of the two but with its own unique advantages too! I find it really satisfying on games as well to unlock more buildings and land as you progress because you can physically see how far you’ve come. I will have to check this out!x

    This game sounds so interesting and fun! At first look, the way it looks reminds me a lot of Oregon Trail! Or maybe it’s just because the game’s in 2D and I believe the latter game is as well. Anyways, I think it’s great that there’s a lot you can do in the game but hopefully it doesn’t get too overwhelming! I actually play Hay Day on my phone (have been for the past year and I think that’s the only reason why I’ve kept up with it hehe) and it gets overwhelming at times with the things I have to do haha

      Omg I have played hay day before and I think I’ve progressed a lot into it and yeah it’s definitely got overwhelming! I really like the 2D aspect about the game. It gets a little bit overwhelming when you have too much land to look at but not really a big deal!

    I’m not much of a gamer but this does sound like a lot of fun. I like that there seems to be a lot to do and that you collect things along the way. great that such an affordable option kept you so entertained too! x

    This sounds like such a fun and cute little game to play! I’ll definitely have to check it out. I really enjoy playing games like Stardew Valley which forager has kind of reminded me a LITTLE of in some ways (especially without the farming part!). it’s a shame it’s just single player but sometimes it can be nice to play single player games and have a bit of you time πŸ™‚

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?🀣 I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign 🀣 it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting πŸ€­πŸ’– TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. πŸ€£πŸ™ˆ

Hello! πŸ₯° Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! πŸ₯° Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe πŸ˜† we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. 🀣 I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast 😭😭 Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle πŸ₯Ί isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing πŸ˜πŸ˜†

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ🀣 I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? πŸ˜† And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...πŸ™ƒ Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!πŸ™ˆ
