How it feels

A tense strategy game where you must hunker down and defend your village against creeping darkness, balancing resource management with desperate survival.

What players say

Players are split on Black Forest. Many praise the dark atmosphere and survival concept, but a large number cite bugs, clunky mechanics, and a feeling that development stalled or the game was abandoned. The constant enemy attacks frustrate players who want a relaxing base-builder, and performance issues persist, especially on Linux.
