Warrior Cats: Clans of the Forest

Very disappointed in the game as a fan of the series. The pacing is atrocious...after barely an hour of play you jump from Warrior to Deputy with no choice in the matter and take the spot from your mentor. The map layout sucks especially when you get guided to several dead ends on the way to an objective using the "Starclan guide" feature. The characters are devoid of personalities and after research found out the story for the game used AI to summarize the story. The first book came out in 2003...there's no excuse to create a game you know nothing about the series for after all these years.

I’ve been a fan of Warrior Cats since I was 10 years old in 2006. I’m coming into this game as an adult who has been a fan of the series her whole life. That being said, I’m extremely disappointed so far. I didn’t realize going in that a huge chunk of this game is procedurally generated - I noticed as I was playing. I’m not one of those people who is like vehemently against AI, but when the characters, stories, and quests are all generated, this game lacks any kind of a soul. I understand that the attempt is to allow people to keep playing and keep experiencing life as a Warrior Cat over and over again, but my experience so far is that there is very little reason for me to care about my Clanmates, or what I’m doing. Half the time, the next step in a quest doesn’t even make sense based on what I was already doing - I’m literally just following the markers, doing what I’m told with little to no explanation why. The pace of the game is also wacky in my opinion. Three quests that took me like 45 minutes and now I’m a Warrior? I have no sense of real achievement, no sense of camaraderie with my Clanmates, they’re all generic, interchangeable. I don’t know. Based on the reviews it seems that many people are really enjoying this game, and I intend to continue to give it some attention as maybe I’m forming my opinions too early, but maybe it’s also not for me.

Oh man, I wanted to like this so bad. There are so many things wrong with this. Clunky controls, terrible dialog, awful rendering on the cats. I wanted a refund and was denied, I would not spend 30 dollars on this game. This is more like a 10 dollars game. There are so many bugs currently that I had to put it down and stop playing due to frustration. I’ll probably never return and am severely disappointed.
