Fun, but lacks substance – Oh! Edo Towns Review

I really recommend trying the lite version of the game first. I have had the game for a while, however, and this is what I think. It took me some time to get into it but here are some the pros and cons I've noticed in the game below. Pros: -Cute retro pixel chibi-like graphics. -No in-app purchases -Large variety of buildings etc. to build -Set in an interesting old Japanese era -If you love building towns/villages especially if you like Japan/Japan's culture you'll like this -Get to build things wherever* you want -People in the game do their own thing -Maps are large Cons: -Wish the maps (average/mountain/seaside) looked more different (they are very similar) -There could have been much more interaction with your villagers -Warriors do not fight anything -It is hard to earn money/really easy to get in the negative numbers -Research and buildings are costly, particularly the further you get in the game -Difficult to move buildings and have to remove buildings before placing new ones, which is annoying -Paths are pricey and nature too -Not much to do compared to other Kairosoft games -Events are few such as travelers visiting your village, and it's not exciting when they do visit -Slow progression -Takes a while to figure out crafts/combos -The in-game territory map is basically useless in my opinion
