Decurse – Magical Farming Game

Decurse is one of the most unique farming sim games I’ve played, and I’ve played hundreds! It has many aspects that you would expect, crop plots, animals, crafting buildings, decorations, unlocking new areas, etc. But what I find fascinating is that they use a blocking system which allows you to fill in the in-game art of the homes, making it appear in segments instead of all at once! I find it extremely fun and original! Same thing with clearing away the curse on the stone walls and rebuilding them, it really feels like you’re fixing the island, and not just clicking a button once you have the materials, a tarp goes over whatever you’re repairing and a few hours later it’s magically fixed. It feels so much more tangible. This unique mechanic makes Decurse stand out amongst a vast ocean of mobile farming sim games, while still being simple and understandable for all ages! When I get bored of it, can see myself returning to the game and starting all over again a couple months later, experiencing all the fun once more!

To grow crops, produce goods, etc! It takes forever some things you have to wait an hour or more!!! Then events go to quickly being that you have to wait so long for everything else to get made or grow to get the items you need for the event! It is absolutely ridiculous! Sometimes I’ll leave the game temporarily to go do things, being that I have a life and children, and I won’t be able to come back to get what I needed because it takes so long for it to get done so by the time I am able to again I no longer need those items that take up space in my inventory so I’m constantly playing catch-up for the next event! It makes me almost not wanna play anymore! This is basically a knock off of sunken secrets which is a better version. If they could just fix how long it takes for things to be made or grow I think it would make this game a ton better! Other than that it is a cute game as I really did like sunken secrets! Oh and as for the wizard tower I can never get through even halfway because it goes to quick and it takes too long to collect magic which you don’t even get that much when you do collect! No way to buy more fountains or upgrade the fountains you do have for more magic either! Like I can almost literally doing next to nothing on this game because of the time it takes for EVERYTHING!!!

The game is fun with bright colors and easy to understand. Build your town, manage your resources and wait and wait and wait. Unfortunately the game increases how much you need with each iteration completed for certain items, I did the first two keys needed to get rid of the Easter egg chest, but was unable to complete the next two, not because the task was hard, but because the time needed to complete the balloon runs had gotten to long. My inventory got full of all the different components I need for other tasks, gems type items to upgrade machines, building items to upgrade building, weird balloon items to upgrade storage, event items for each event, making it difficult to make and store the items necessary to complete task in a timely manner. If suddenly you need four popcorns to complete a balloon run, you can expect it to take at least six hours, the keys give you twenty four hours to complete, requiring about six balloon runs, if you are unlucky, you won’t be able to complete them. Each time you run a balloon run the time to complete increases. Eventually either you pay for time which I don’t find fun or you just let that part of the game go. In the long term I find this boring, so this is a fun short term game.

I have played this game for a very long time & accepted all of the new additions and chances up until now. And gave it a 5 star rating until now. Making the Tasks into timed Daily Tasks was a big mistake. There are far too many timed things going on at any given time that it is impossible to do them. 1. Whale with all its items, 2. Balloons and all their items, 3. The Wizard Tower, 4. The Race, and now 5. The Daily Tasks. In addition to the Sales Board, Panda Island, friend’s & race team member’s requests, Story Book completion, & any other little things going on at the whale dock. For crying out loud! Even if I played the game 24/7, I wouldn’t be able to complete all of these things in the allotted time because there aren’t enough farm plots are crafting machines that produce quickly enough to do it all! And to add insult to injury, you’ve now made the card table (where instead of using tokens, which were fairly easy to gather from helping friends, etc.), now requires a combination of a multitude of colored jewels, which are nearly impossible to get (except the green ones, which I have tons of, but can’t be used without the other colors). The only way a player can even begin to get even part of this all done is to buy hundreds, if not thousands, of diamonds EVERY. SINGLE. DAY! Sorry, it isn’t going to happen!

Until last week I really enjoyed the game. Game play alignment with sounds and music was precise. Completion of game play actions were smooth and loading between locations was minimal. However, playing the game is frustrating and disappointing. Sounds and music are choppy and don’t align with game play. Excessive loading time between locations and huge lag during balloon and whale filling. Have lost inventory because of glitches related to lag time and been unable to complete quests. Very frustrating! In game text no longer is visible and text is not visible when trying to contact support team through the app. After 4 attempts to use support (unable to utilize birthdate drop down menu) because of non visible text, I decided to post a review. Past experience with Tech Support was quickly addressed, so the inability to access support is extremely disappointing. With no ability to access Tech Support, the compounding lag time , and excessive load time between locations I am close to uninstalling the game. If issues are resolved, I will definitely play again. Disappointed that such a fun game has become too frustrating to play.
