Decent game ruined by AI
I read some of the other reviews and the developers replies, and I just want to encourage you to keep developing this game, but without the generated AI “art”.
I admire you for putting your own money into this project, and it clearly is one of your passions. I’d love to give this another review if/when they add real art :D

Response from developer
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I completely understand your perspective — the original Mörk Borg has an incredible and unique art style that’s hard to replicate. I just want to clarify that Rotspire is an independent hobby project I’ve been working on in my free time as a solo developer. I’m not affiliated with the official creators of Mörk Borg in any way. Since I’m a programmer and not an artist, I used AI-assisted tools to help generate some of the visuals so I could bring the project to life at all. My goal wasn’t to diminish the original game or its style, but to create something inspired by it for fun and to learn more about game development. I really appreciate your feedback and I’ll keep it in mind as I continue improving the game! – Tomáš
i wanna give 5 but
Slow but good
Response from developer
Glad to hear that you like Rotspire, and thank you for the thoughtful comments. Presence comes into play with social or mental confrontations — persuasion, intimidation, or standing against fear. In those situations, the game rolls a d20 and applies your Presence modifier. Stat point difference on start is intentional – classes are more specialized and others balanced out with more evenly divided stats. Tomáš K.
Art Direction could be improved
Response from developer
Hey, I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts — especially as both a fan of Mörk Borg and an artist. I totally get where you’re coming from. Just to clarify one thing: AI "art" doesn’t actually cost nothing — between server hosting, processing, and the tools involved, it’s far from free. Rotspire itself is a completely free game and hasn’t made a cent so far. I’m covering everything out of my own pocket, just because I love building it as a side project. That said, I absolutely agree there’s real value in human creativity. I’m definitely open to working with artists who share that vision — if you’re interested, feel free to reach out to me directly at krcaltomas99@gmail.com. Would love to hear your ideas. Thanks again for the honest feedback :) Tomáš K.
