60 of 95 · most liked firstIt's fun for about an hour. There's no real challenge and it's all grinding. Not a bad game, but it could be set up better. I don't recommend it... at the moment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game seems to be pretty fun. Hopefully some improvements are made (NPC's sometimes bug out by ghosting above themselves while running and chapter 7 stutters so bad I can't play it) but overall it's a fun experience. After 3 hours, it's still pretty entertaining. If you want a more laidback game, I would recommend getting this one. Edit: No response from devs regarding issues, making the game uncompletable. While fun, I would be wary until more updates come out. (Note the 21 hours on my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Here's 10 mins of me in it: No ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ around or talking to a camera, just gameplay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gU0pX0RDzvc Well I can honestly say this is one of the better overall VR games out there. A bit like Diner Nuo, you will just loose hours in it playing this. its entertaining and fulfiling and the right level of fun and thinking. Great game to play and Show off VR too :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →THIS Game is the reason why nobody trusts Early Access anymore !!! i bought this game thinking the developers would make something out of this good idea but HELL NO ... THEY ABANDONED IT ...this has the depth of an flash game.... which is sad because the literal same company made the amazing game Shoppe Keep which is awesome. Dont buy this game for anything over 2 Bucks you will be dissapointed and the fun is gone after something like 45 min
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cant recommend it in its current state. Its fun but Chapter 7 is broken and the customers ask all the time for things you just cant craft because you dont have the materials and cant obtain them in the level. You can beat the chapter by crafting arrows and kill the attacking demons. 2 Achievements are broken in the game and currently unobtainable. The dev didnt care. When this get fixed i will change my review.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →====If you are looking for easy and fun game - please don't buy it while it's in Early Access state. Let developers improve experience for you :) ==== Guys i love the idea of being Blacksmith in VR, we found this idea years ago with my friend too, but please change taking button from side buttons to main trigger. I'm asking for this just because i want to play and now it's unbelievably inconvenient :(
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I was very excited to play this game and got past the tutorial just fine. I then got stuck on the next chapter and spent hours looking around online for support and posted a question in the discussions board and emailed the dev and got no responses. I'm assuming there is no more development or support for this game, and unfortunately would not recommend buying.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Posted for any support/help from the Dev as the tutorial is broken for me, and there hasn't been any response for a long while, don't play with the Rift S, doesn't work.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I voted for this game in greenlight community. It's look like "medieval Job Simulator" but there is so much more to explore in this universe. You have to managed your ressource and your budget. It's an early acces but the reactivity of the dev team is very cool.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Kept me entertained for a good hour and a half the first time. I think it shows a lot of promise! I had some frustrations, being left-handed, but nothing particularly bad. The large area the game occupies was fine with my room, but playing for so long became tiring! Not exactly aerobics, but certainly won't hurt!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Abandoned. Just like they abandoned their other 2 games just to make a cash-grab copy. There really isn't any content either in the game either. You learn the game in maybe 30 minutes, and then it's just a question about grinding and doing the same thing a ton of times.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a classic example of early VR shovelware that has tainted many people's views on what VR is and can be. It is poorly executed on basically ever level. The teleportation and turning are among the worst I've ever experienced. The UI is unnecessarily clunky. The grab mechanic is imprecise. The graphics are on par with N64 and the art style doesn't excuse it. I could go on, but then the game would be robbing me of more of my time. It is also filled with bugs, some of which can be…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Already excellent fun and still in early access! The crafting is well varied and enjoyable; it is rather simplified, but appropriately so for the scale. It also ran smoothly; the only oddity I encountered was, on my first attempt repairing the pick, I was holding it when hitting and the pick head flew way off to the pathway. I had to let the time run out and retry. You may want to wait on this title a while, but certainly do not miss out! A few specific considerations: This game will be well…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't Grab anything
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This Game is full of really cool moments and its really fun being a medival crafter. I was waiting for this game to come out when i first saw it on greenlight and im soo glad it did.But on that note I hope in future updates they add more too the game like getting the ore your self by going into a cave but, If you have a vive and want a good fun game to start out with, I would suggest you get this. :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game probably plays better if you have a bit more room than I do. Regardless, when the instructions are to build a sword by clicking the trigger, and doing so does nothing, something is wrong in the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good start with many item combinations (Blade x Hilt x Modifier) to keep you on your toes and most importantly always have something new to make. Tutorial text needs a massive overhaul and tool tips on items get obscured by the environment and the item itself. Just remember: If the hammer doesn't seem to be working, swing harder.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interface is terrible and poorly suited to Oculus Rift. The core gameplay of crafting items to sell to NPCs doesn't interest me.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I do not recommend this game. After the first 2 levels, my grip function stopped working. The buttons work in other games, so I know it's not the hardware, but I cannot get the game to recognize them. Sadly, this prevents getting past level 2. I tried to contact support, but the support website url has expired.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unable to pick anything up, tried looking everywhere for a fix or work around, my 7 year old son is very dissapointed, HTC Vive via Steam. It used to work fine, maybe an update screwed it up,,,,
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →https://youtu.be/GltGo2vlCCs Craft Keep is a lighthearted attempt at a medieval Job Simulator. With BEER! While still a bit rough around the edges, (looking at you random ingredient still rolling away...) it's an enjoyable shop owner experience. The graphics will turn people away. For some reason there seems to be a growing hate for cartoony VR graphics. Personally I think it works for the attitude of the game. I do wish there was a better locomotion option than just roomscale or predefined…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game seems to be abandoned now.. still pretty buggy but would be a ton of fun if finished
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I recommend, the teleportation system has been fixed, this is what i was looking for in a VR game. This is a must have if you have an HTC Vive.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Craft Keep VR - A solid job based crafting game in VR which I really enjoyed. I don't get the hate the game is getting, but I do understand the confusion in some levels. You get a request from someone coming up to your stand like "Ey guv'na! Me lookin' for a shank, ya got sum?". "Sure thing...guvner? Here you go" Police rocks up to the stand, "Oi! You got a license for that knoif mate?" All jokes aside, it really works similar to that. You get a request for a sword, you order the iron, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a bit confusing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game had some good potential, and I had been excited for it for ages. I absolutely love medieval/renaissance themes, especially those pertaining to blacksmithing, so you can see why I'd be excited for a blacksmithing VR game. However, there are quite a few problems I have with the game now that I've played it. I play on Oculus, to which the controllers have sticks, and the movement does not take advantage of this at all. You are stuck to point-and-teleport, something that quickly becomes…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Do you enjoy being hunched over to the ground? Do you enjoy terrible controlls? Do you enjoy impossible quests that punish you for failure? If so then this game is for you. The forge and hammer are on the ground forcing you to bend over and touch the floor any time you want to smelt metal. The controlls work sometimes, and sometimes work without input. You will also have patrons asking you to make potions that you have not learned yet and if you decline you lose a ton of gold. The in…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to play this and enjoy this but somewhere along the way they screweed up the game where you're unable to grab anything and now I doubt it's going to ever get fixed. The developer doesn't seem to stick with a project for very long. People will defend this saying "it's released! It's not abandoned!" but if they left it in a broken state, it's pretty much abandoned. FIX THE BUGS AT LEAST.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I've honestly tried to enjoy this, but it is not intuitive and the tracking and controls are very inconsistent.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Interesting little game.... but BIG warning - if you don't have a solid 3m x 3m square playing area, you'll get frustrated prety quick!! Great game, but with time pressure on play and manic waving/bending etc, the implementation of real-world positioning is not good.... this game seriously (I mean seriously!) needs to come with a warning. Cupboards or tables around the outside of your play area may well do you or your equipment some damage!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love crafting stuff i really recommend this game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →With the current version I played, this game was lots of fun :) If you like crafting in MMO or 'shop' game on tablet this game will make you quite happy. The mechanic was fun, and there is great potential. For the price this is a good buy. Beforewarning, with the current state of the game... I would say in 'story' there is maybe about 45-60 mins of gameplay as it is right now. There is a freeplay mode which I didn't try.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh Wow, I think I just found what will be one of the best VR games. I thought I would try this game and two and a half hours flew by fairly quickly. In this game you have a small work area where you craft potions and weapons and ammo for people. You get paid gold and there is a demand for weapons to fight the big dragon you can see in the background. There is demand for pickaxes, arrows, speciality daggers, and all sorts of potions. As the merchant you just click to order supplies to fill…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game that shows the potential of VR style workstations. If this eventually turns into a co-op game with mechanics similar to Shoppe Keep, it will be my new favorite game. The developer is currently very active, previous game (Shoppe Keep) was a lot of fun and still gets updated sometimes, and there's room for a lot of potential.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Active developers, medieval setting, can throw crafted items at customers. love it :-)

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Don't recommend, whenever you're looking straight it will rapidly turn you and its really disorienting and annoying, waste of money
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The idea behind thisd game is quite interesting. However, this is no job simulator in a medieval setting. It's quite buggy, quite rough around the edges and overall unpolished to the point that I decided to give up on it. 4/10
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →4/10 Reasonable enough to give this a try, I got frustrated by the graphical glitches, poor graphics overall, and the help tutorials disappearing when you are trying to follow them. Also, the economy system is rubbish. I've got to melt some gold for someone for 50g reward, but the gold ore costs about 100g. Charge more for your services!
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still quite buggy, with the controls and movement causing quite a nausetic experience. Still a good gameplay concept although it requires more refinement especially around the moment. Developer can use point-based teleportation instead of free space, since the only reason why I would teleport is because I want to be in a location where I can operate the tools near that area.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Teleporting needs to move you, not your play area. Should also indicate that you need a large play area for this game, I have a 2m x 3m area to play in and I'm having to constantly teleport around just to be able to pick up and move items.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun VR game, kept me entertained for 3+ hours so if you can get it cheap do so. Only voting down because currently there are 2 secret achievements that are unattainable.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A game that is SUPPOSE to be fully released and has this many bugs? glad i went to an off site to spend 4 dollars on the game instead of the 15 dollar asking price. HOLY MOLY where do i start? This is just my experience up to chapter 4 and with the oculus rift. Have to give the same item TWICE to progress the chapters? why not make the character state 2x instead of only one? Chapter 4? good luck giving swords to the people to fight the dragon, they don't want your crap GOD FORBID, and i mean…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can't progress from starting tutorial. Won't letting me to move to other tables Have vive
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It cannot be stated enough just how bad the tracking is in this game. So many other games I havent had any problems with so it isnt my Controllers HMD or sensors. Additionaly the game is one of the rare few that nauseate me. Shoppe Keep did the same thing so its a wonder I even gave this game a shot but thats just me. The game itself is fun, although it hardly presents itself in a playable manner. Very little is told to the player and the controlls for movement... Rotating your perspective and…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Finally, I will be able to fulfill my fantasy of being the guy that makes amazing gear for the adventurers who are saving the world! This may sound sarcastic, or silly, but the truth is, I truly have had this as a fantasy. being the guy making an enchanted sword that gets used to slay a demon. Or making the bow that takes down a dragon. While it still has a long way to go, this game is already looking to be one of my favorite vr titles.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed playing it and look forward to future content updates. I have a very small space, but the game was still playable with the teleportation options. The orders coming in had me bustling about my play space constantly, and the teleporation felt smooth and natural. Using the blacksmith hammer felt better than I thought it would, just be sure to hit hard enough. Light taps won't get you anywhere, you're beating hard metal into shape! My only critique would be that some of the text (like…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Craft Keep VR is a fun little game, punters arrive at your little stall and you must craft and create their orders. I had a lot of fun playing it and by no means did i get very far in the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0L2KuG57E4U&t=8s I would not feel comfortable to give full review given my limited play time, but i will say i have had a lot of fun playing it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Hit my headset on chair and bash my finger on a wall because I didn't use the teleporting system. 10/10 would recommend again.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the tutorial did not work so i didn't know how to play and the movement was really bad
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game was fun and new at the time i played it, 2018, but it id the only vr game that gave me a headache, so i had to refund. other than that it was fun
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SUPER OLD look for something else
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A good game but it is definitely meant for people with really open play space I have hit my walls and other parts of my area this game would really benefit with comfort turning and movement but it came out a while ago so I don't have much hope
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Fun game that I enjoy gives a feeling like your really in the middle of the shop with all the customers coming up with thier demands. There is some glitches with tracking but they keep improving with each update.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In Craft Keep VR you can craft weapons, mix potions and other items that a RPG merchant woud offer. The visuals are below average, but the craft mechanics makes up for it. Don't let the game fool you when you stuck in campaign mode. The game is beatable even though it felt unpolished at times. Well, I had my fun with this title, but would not recommend it to buy it at full price.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got the game from one of Humble Bundles, and for that price I'm very happy with it, it took me 3+ hours to go trough it. There are some bugs like, npcs getting stuck on your stand or other object (you can get rid of them though). Another bug I noticed is, when you hold something and then open steam vr home menu and get back to game the object you were holding will fall of your hand, it will still be somewhat attached to it, but with physics being applied to it, so it won't stop fall on the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game, (I hope this inspires some RTS games ala 'Stronghold', where you craft weapons for castle battlements, and maybe a bit of combat, yourself) but I can see how some people get frustrated so here's some:- -:Hints:- On the second level, if you think there's a bug that won't allow you to buy metal, it's not. Look around and you will see two large rocks with pickaxes near them, and some ore sticking out. One is iron, the other, silver. This should help you get to that 250,000 Gold…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →For a game about making things, this sure isn't too well made Pros: -Nice simplistic art style -Funny dialogue -Cute music -The ability to turn off said music if you want to listen to something else, which is unfortunately something quite a few VR games seem to lack -Little features like giving your character hats, makes the game feel like it's had a fair bit of work put into it Cons: -Item physics, things like the back of the chest you throw stuff into not actually being a physical object(so…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love the concept and I want to like this game but it is too rough around the edges. Through my various attempts at playing i've run in to bugs that stop me progressing. The controls and presentation are also unintuitive, to the point where when something is not working i'm not sure if i'm doing it wrong or if it is a bug.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like the premise of this game but in the current state it's pretty rough. What I can play of it has been pretty fun but I keep running into game breaking bugs. my first round I finished the 1st tutorial mission and closed the game, the next day I started up the second location and wasn't able to order things I needed. I closed the mission, reran the tutorial, then immediately started the 2nd locaiton and that worked okay; until one of the guys running up to place an order got stuck on my…
