Strange decision to add farming
An unfinished game that feels like a beta
But the biggest problem is that the game lacks a clear purpose or direction. What exactly are we supposed to be doing? Exploring forests and caves? Farming and growing wheat? Collecting animals for a barn? Fighting criminals? Earning money?
None of these activities seems to fit together into a coherent game. For example, I have 70 ears of wheat, but attracting an animal only requires five. So why should I keep farming? And what exactly am I supposed to do with all the money I collect?
It feels as though the developers are making up the game as they go along, adding features to fill obvious gaps. The recently introduced weapon shop is a perfect example.
This is not a finished game. It feels like an early beta version released before the developers had figured out what they wanted to create.
I expected a complete, enjoyable gaming experience. Instead, I feel cheated.

Thank you for the detailed feedback. We read every review, and yours was really helpful. You can now switch back to the classic Apple Knight jump from the training cave. Some players found it frustrating that wheat was needed to unlock mounts, so it isn't a requirement anymore. You can still use wheat to level up mounts or sell it at Tobin's farm for money. For now, the game is about exploring, defeating enemies, making money, and unlocking mounts. We're adding dungeons to each world that play like classic Apple Knight levels. Clearing them rewards you with items like weapons, plus items that unlock more content. There's much more on the way. Please update and give it another try once the dungeons are out!
AK3 is the GOAT!!
I LOVE the new art style too! Apple Knight looks so cute, and Garraldin looks way more beefy now lol. the new farm is such a cool addition, and there are 10 mounts to collect. My personal favorite is definitely the Boar!
The interconnected worlds, day/night cycles, and new NPCs make everything feel way more alive. I also love watching Tobin do his chores around the farm with his pet dog and pig, and the chickens with their little hearts popping up are so cute!
Really enjoying this one so far!
Leider sehr schlecht
Das man in den „Welten“ Mounts suchrn muss ist das eine, dass man um diese zu bekommen dann auf der Farm etwas snbauen und gießen muss das andere. Das stört den ohnehin hakeligrn Spielfluss doch sehr und ist eine nervigen, zeitraubende Tätigkeit, die in keinem Plattform Actionspiel vorkommen sollte. Insgesamt ist Apple Knight 3 für mich eine große Enttäuschung.
Unfertig
In der Beschreibung ist kein Wort davon erwähnt.
Dort wird es als vollwertiges und fertiges Spiel beschrieben.
