Tinkertown 

 

Family Friendly Gaming was given a digital download code for Tinkertown on the Personal Computer. Tinkertown requires the Steam software to be up and running to play it. I could find no information on a physical copy edition of Tinkertown in the US at this time. Tinkertown clocks in at 251 megs the time this review was written. Tinkertown is in early access. There is a big button to report bugs on the main screen. I only report bugs when I am being paid to.

Tinkertown has nice music and can be played as a single player or multiplayer experience. We create our characters and then create our worlds. Tinkertown has very indie graphics. In some ways Tinkertown reminds me of 8-bit to 16-bit video games. We get recipes when we find certain resources. Tinkertown reminds me of Minecraft in some ways. If Minecraft was done in the 8-bit Legend of Zelda video game format.

There are very few commands for players to remember. The mouse is used, the G key and the TAB key. That is what the directions say. I found the directional arrows and WASD were also used in Tinkertown. It took me a bit to figure out how to close the menu screens in Tinkertown. Characters have a health bar that can be depleted by things like water and enemies. It does eventually restore itself. Early on it is very difficult to beat enemies.

As we find more resources we can make better things in Tinkertown. Take for example the creation of an axe. Which worked better on enemies in fighting and allowed me to chop down some trees. We can also create weapons and armor in Tinkertown as long as we have the right resources. The more I crafted the more of the world I could go and explore. It also meant I could defeat monsters much quick and take less damage.

I ran into one really weird bug while playing Tinkertown. The show all crafting was not working. I could not scroll through the different recipes as I got quite a few. It would also be great to have a mouse click to close crafting menus. I am not sure the point of the crafting table in Tinkertown since I could craft outside of it. It was one of the first things I crafted. There is some cartoon violence in Tinkertown as we dispose of monsters.
