If this kind of game comes out in the future then I'd buy it instantly. It's mostly ripping off of games that exist and omitting the parts that made them bad

It has a weapon leveling system where it gets slightly stronger as you fight enemies, but the best way to improve it is by adding elemental units that you harvest from items you don't want (like ammunition has the element of fire which is useless if you use a hammer) or straight from elemental orbs which contain more elemental energy than items do (gunpowder = 2, fire orb = 3), and each item costs one point that the weapon gains each time it levels up. If you turn a weapon into elemental energy it will contain half the power it had if its below level 5, and over level 5 weapons will keep 90% of their power.

Fishing follows a similar system where elemental items can improve the fishing rods abilities, and the rarity of fish along with their size gives a certain amount of rod experience so that it can level up and receive more points to use to improve it. Fish have various elemental types as well, mostly water, which can be used to improve your regular weapons. You can also use your fishing rod as a weapon to help increase its experience, though its faster to look for rare fish instead and just fish them a lot. Fish can participate in contests such as the weight contest or the race, where racing fish raised in a special tank you build race each other. Fish raised in a tank cannot participate in the weight contest but can participate in races.

Monsters can be fought with many kinds of weapons, but there is a time limit for how long you can search them out (50 minutes). Over time you lose stamina which is used for running and dodging, but this is replenished by eating food. Health is regained by sleeping in a bed in the starting zone which is the only 100% safe area, or by drinking potions. You can craft materials in your inventory to make things like potions and traps and food, but there's a percentage chance this will fail and you lose your items. More complex tools use several items at once, making preparation prior to a quest a good idea since some areas don't have all the ingredients you need to build things. Types of monsters range from bears to sheep to dragons to leviathans to moving mountains, with simpler animals providing a good source of food and materials. Monsters drop valuable items at the end of quests which are used in making armor and weapons, or in upgrading the various villages you come across during the story.

The world contains many underground ores that are useful for crafting weapons and armor, or using their metal elements to further upgrade weapons. Since mining takes much more time to do than hunting it is wise to do so on gathering quests rather than in the midst of battle. Once the monster quest is completed you may choose to stick around and mine though.

You can invent new items using a trusty camera you receive early on in the game, taking pictures of unusual objects in the cities or in the field, or even while fighting powerful monsters (their attacks can inspire inventions). You use three pictures together to come up with invention ideas, and while most won't work, several ideas will, at which point you can use the ores and items you have gathered to build these inventions.

There are several abandoned village areas you will find on your journey, and by hunting around the quest area near the village you can find old ruins to photograph and old blueprints to use to build your own village, with certain requirements to return it to its former glory (like building a house with three trees near to it, or a water mill, or a fence and a mail box). You can travel to the future village and receive items or quests that have to be done in the past to fix problems in the future, and once an area is completed 100% you get some kind of reward, typically a useful item shop you can visit in the future or valuable weaponry, or a new monster you can only fight in the future that drops valuable items.


I might remember some other game elements that would work together that I've enjoyed in the past, but these were some of my favorite things to do that just needed a little more polish to make them better.
