Price History of Road Not Taken

Description of Road Not Taken

"It looks like a cute fairy tale, but this is a turn-based game that's thorny with challenge and packed with an incredible number of gameplay secrets." Should you play this game: YES – Kotaku "Road Not Taken is the cutest catalyst for an existential crisis I've ever encountered" 4.5 out of 5 – Joystiq "It's as mean as life, as cruel as the universe, and it still manages to be one of the most intriguing and moving titles released this year." 90 out of 100 – GamesBeat About This Game: Road Not Taken is a puzzle game about surviving life's surprises. You play as a ranger adventuring through a vast, unforgiving forest in the aftermath of a brutal winter storm, rescuing children who have lost their way. Randomly generated levels deliver a limitless supply of possibilities to explore and challenges to overcome. Your actions will influence not only your own story, but that of the villagers you hope to befriend and the town you call home. Story Details: Each time you play Road Not Taken, you're likely to experience a very different story. The paths you take will change; the relationships you pursue will twist in ways you did not expect. Which, as it happens, is just like real life. The villagers of Road Not Taken believe that there is an optimal path through life: a good person gets a job, falls in love and has children. You won't follow this path. Can you find your own unique way through a life? Gameplay Details: No path leads to the same destination in Road Not Taken. The trails you take will change, the relationships you pursue will twist in ways you might not expect, and the narrative you create with every action will be yours to decide. Every playthrough offers new and unusual creatures to encounter, secrets and items to discover, townsfolk to build relationships with, and devilish, hand-crafted puzzle rooms to solve. Brains, Not Brawn: Your character has the magical ability to levitate and move objects. You must figure out how to use your talents and tactics to circumvent or defeat a wide variety of dangerous creatures, obstacles, and boss encounters. Get Lost in the Wild: Road Not Taken is brought to life with gorgeous 2D artwork, expressively charming sprite design, and an evocative, atmospheric soundtrack. Every puzzle is a challenge of exploration and strategy, testing players to think before taking each step forward.

Reviews of Road Not Taken

  • I really enjoy this game — controls could be better

    I’ve had this game for years now and downloaded it pretty much when it came out. I played it on my phone but have more recently been playing it on my iPad, which I find I prefer since the screen is bigger.

    I really enjoy the game overall, and how you can build on past iterations of the Ranger and explore different scenarios. I also really like puzzle crafting games and this perfectly scratches that itch.

    My only complaint is that the controls can be frustrating at times—it’s an onscreen arrow pad and oftentimes I’ll find that I’ve not been precise enough when I’m using it and I’ll end up going the wrong direction or going further than I wanted which then means I usually get attacked or lose some health. This might just be an iPad issue, though. Similarly, the game crashes on occasion when I’m using my iPad.
  • Roguelike Puzzler with Steep Learning Curve

    Spry Fox makes pretty, high-quality games. This one is no different. The mechanic of moving and throwing objects is interesting and challenging. The game has tons of personality. The tough part is the sheer number of objects is difficult to track and the combinations you can make are sometimes arbitrary and difficult to remember. Many items are strange creatures and spirits and weird trinkets and there isn’t always a clear logic to what you are supposed to do. This makes for a fun game of discovery but as you get deeper into the story the frustration and difficulty rises to the point that the game begins to feel impossible. However the journey is enjoyable and it’s a fun experience despite feeling generally unwinnable. Recommended if you enjoy puzzle games and quirky magical stories.
  • Get the basic controls right!

    Purchased it tonight, playing it on Apple TV and the “menu” button is a KEY button, but does not register in the game. I tried the physical remote, I tried the “remote” app on my phone, I tried the game controller, nothing works to activate that “menu” button. So I played the entry level but now I can’t even advance or even move until I press “menu” which… as I noted… cannot be pressed. What a rip off.

    Developer Response

    I'm sorry the Menu button isn't working for you. We have heard that the controls don't work properly on some of the newer models of Apple TV, but unfortunately we are no longer updating this game so we can't make it work with the affected versions. I have confirmed that it is still working on my Apple TV (the one where the controls look like this: https://support.spryfox.com/hc/en-us/articles/223798668-What-are-the-controls-for-Apple-TV-RNT-tvOS-version-only- )
