Cor, Dorfromantik's still the business
In a weird way, I feel ever so slightly sorry for the team of students who made Dorfromantik. Call it Joseph Heller Syndrome: first time out and they've made a classic. Does that leave them confused? Fearful? I suspect not, and this is why I only feel ever so slightly sorry for the team. The bad news is they've made something that will be hard to top, but the good news is that they have made something that will be hard to top.
Dorfromantik has just landed on Switch, which explains why I'm doing what I'm doing at the moment. I'm trying to unlock the Midwinter biome. Biomes are unlockable prizes that give the landscape a certain colour scheme or vibe. Midwinter does what you'd expect it to: it makes it look like winter. But more than that it transports me to Christmas, and to the bookshelves where the Christmasest book of all time lives, John Masefield's The Box of Delights.
This is something I've spoken about with a lot of puzzle, tactics, and strategy game designers over the years. Take a 4X - okay, strategy rather than tactics, but the point holds. Not all of those Xes are equally exciting. The first two, explore and expand, always fill me with giddiness. Not so sure about Exploit and Exterminate. And yet I know people who love those two and find the first parts of the game a drag.Dorfromantik, however, has me from the first tile to the last.
