Especially the nighttime one.+ Lovely custom tileset+ Quiet hard, sometimes can be frustrating, but I like that. I like challenge+ I love the Indonesians vibe. Well done, well done+ Seneng deh berburu durian yang melayang-layang tengah malam.- A bit laggy sometimes, but those are no major problem, it's either the game or it's my laptop (edit : it was my laptop orz)- Where's the boys? Why can't I recruit boys- yunno- just platonic relationship? You go bro-on-bro adventure, beating magical flying durian, just-- bro being bros. Where's the boys??- Open world can be quite confusing sometimes, especially for first time playing- Too slow (transition after caught a fish *uuugh*, transition when talking with party)- npc was no help, pls im confused- why everyone just say hello to me. I need directionOverall :Gorgeous game, very well done. Despite of the negatives, I still love this game.Once again, well done. Now excuse me while I'm gonna try catch this fish to impress Ms. Arwana. "If you like fish so much, why don't you MARRY THEM?!""Maybe I will!"-----This is, if not the weirdest game on Steam, then certainly in the running. Go to Indonesia, unravel an ancient mystery, learn Silat, and date fish. All in a nostalgic pastel color pallette with soothing music playing in the background.Nusakana is like the gonzo lovechild of Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King, and despite English not being its original language, it is clearly a labor of love. In fact, the production values are so high that I think it would have been a cult classic if it had released back in the days of the SNES. As is, it commando-crawls at top speed out of steam's RPG Maker ghetto, punching komodo dragons in the face the whole way.If you're willing to play something a bit different, then there's a ton of content in here. Day\/night cycle, days of the week, quest boards and faction loyalty, RPG combat, fishing, crafting, language-learning, and dating, and a plotline that runs deeper than I would have expected. Somehow, rather than turning into an unharmonious kludge, all these elements work together, producing a play experience that is both relaxing and satisfying.If you liked Harvest Moon, I'd say this is a solid $15 game. If you like to explore weird avenues of game design, or just the weirder stuff steam has to offer, I'd impulse-buy this on 50% sale.If nothing I've said above even remotely appeals, then steer clear. This strangeness is probably not for you.. Nusakana is really a great game. In fact it's one of my favourite games on steam. It was a very fun and relaxing experience for me. I felt like I was having a vacation on Nusakana Island, too. What makes this game special is the general feeling it provides. I liked this island flair very much. Plus the fact you can date 20 different girls while solving the islands mystery. It comes with unique art work and a great soundtrack, too.I also recommend this game because the developer is still doing updates and really cares about their game. So if you like oldschool rpgs buy it, and support a good developer. They deserve it, really.. Nusakana is an intriguing and genuinely kooky RPG title that focuses more on simulation than combat. You assume the role of a fisherman who visits a remote island on vacation, and his time spent there is entirely decided by you. Whether it's romancing the mysterious sirens of the island or devoting time to unravelling hidden secrets, Nusakana is scored with anime style characters and a seemingly endless lounge jingle. I bought it on discount and would recommend the game purely on that condition.Pros: a unique environment, some wonderfully weird characters, a curious twist on simulation ideas.Cons: combat lacks depth and purpose, some grammatical errors, not exactly challenging.. - While the game uses a standard game engine (RPG Maker), it uses a unique interface, rewriting most parts.- The story is interesting and not too predictable (you can imagine some parts ahead of time, but not everything).- The characters are quite unique.- has a great replay value- Although the spelling and wording isn't perfect and the game still has some bugs they are patched extremely fast. I'm amazed this is an RPG-maker game. The devs did an amazing job. The locale really shines and gives a sense of a coherency. There are somewhat frequent translation errors, and the game requires an independent mind. For all the cute, relaxing atmosphere, I can confidently say Dark Souls is a good analogue in terms of how much the player is expected to figure out. The difficulty is, on normal settings, fairly forgiving. There is a permadeath hardcore mode, and a no-pressure story mode.This game features....-A solid and well-developed exploration feature, with a convincingly designed artificial environment and map-A story-19 possible recruit-able characters. In addition to the player character, there are three open party slots.-4 weapon categories the player can switch out and train to master-A polished version of the standard RPG-maker battle system with improved art, non-static party member portraits, and dynamic weather and backgrounds. The character also holds the weapon you've equipped. (something far too few non 3D RPGs take the time to do)-Lore you can read if you so desire(but it's not required in the slightest)-Pixel art-time management with a two-year deadline-rescources to gather, and things to craft-affordable costI will try to update this review as I get further into the game.Shameless self-promoion(character recruitment guide): http:\/\/steamcommunity.com\/sharedfiles\/filedetails\/?id=1081436257. Here are my review points:-Nusakana have legit nuance, from the originality,the artwork, and the Bossanovas (this is the strongest point whyI bought it), and of course Indonesia Vibe inside of it, really love the local content.-The Developer seems to really care about Nusakan bugs and problems, andthey fixed it up after several hours of my report post about getting error with the last version,two thumbs up for your hard work, I as the user feel very glad for it.-The artwork I think, I will really enjoy it if the charactersespecially the girls looked different (especially their eyes and nose, I think almost all of them looked same for me, I know the visual style using JRPG style, but would love to have new experience in Nusakana with very different looks, the elders and older women looked very young).But that just my opinion, everyone have their own taste.Greeting from Nusakana.. There are too many missing core elements of gameplay to make your game actually an enjoyable experience. I felt there was no plot, no general storyline, only odd side-quests. And while roaming around talking to everyone, might be fun for some, it gives you no reward. Some areas of improvement are graphics, the text-bars could even be on a transparent color, (Blue signifies a win95 color scheme, we are in the 21st century), and battle balancing. Also you should be able to switch characters mid-battle or use items without costing a turn. Starting out in the game and I realise the reason for forcing the player to the inn, instead of allowing them to walk there; but you have side-quests that are deceptive because you obviously cant beat them because you die in two hits.You should always ask a second opinion before you present some thing to the public, especially if you are asking for support. If it had gone to early access I feel like they could have asked the community for ideas and suggestions, we can always improve oursleves. They have a tough road ahead of themselves, most gamers get that, with going up against the big dogs that have done it better and been around longer.I will say I do like the humour and I do like the pixel art. They did a good job with the music track\/sound, although as others have said the grammar is off, although I dont mind that as long as I have a reason to play. But you need to show more heart and originality because currently it is lacking badly. As I say if they had brought it to early access you could have asked the community for support but as a fully released game, it needs to be fully done. And while it might be in one persons eyes, it isnt worth the price point.How many times do we say it. You cant just put items in a game and expect that alone to add to the games core content. You need to stand out and bring some thing NEW to the table.. Nusakana seems to have a little bit of everything - there's combat, crafting, romance, exploration, loads of quests etc. It's not perfect, not by a long shot, but the devs really seem to have put their heart into this game - they even made battle animations for god's sake! Amidst the horde of asset flipping, minimal devs Nusakana really stands out, simply for how ambitious and hardworking the devs have been.It's an openworld rpg with a fairly slow pace, but lots to do and discover.For every good point, there is a downside however.For example, the open world. On the plus side it gives you lots to see and do - on the downside, the map is woefully inadequate. I spent about three in-game days wandering around the forest, panicking that I would run out of food before I found civilisation again. There are also important locations I didn't discover for ages because I just didn't walk at the right spot on the edge of the screen.The english translation is also rather bare-bones, even for characters who should speak the player's language. (Again, the devs have gone the extra mile - creating a pidgin language for the islanders to speak, but it's not quite as effective for english speakers, as all the text is somewhat broken. It is comprehensible for the most part, but there were certain quests where I was unsure exactly what I had to do due to the translation.)I've also encountered a few bugs - such as the game crashing, or character sprites disappearing, or quest triggers not working quite right. If you save often, and in multiple slots, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Given the size of the game, it seems understandable (it's not quite at Skyrim levels of glitchyness).For the price, there's an almost absurd amount of replayabilty, and given all the effort the devs have put in I would have happily paid a bit more.
