I would have absolutely loved to truly test this game, and then likely purchase it. However, the demo had a glitch where I couldn't get past hiring a villager for the woodcutter house. It kept saying I couldn't hire anyone because there were no resources, and a sign was posted saying no trees remained to cut down. However, the highlighted area was full of trees, and none had been cut down yet. It wouldn't let me begin the game until the demo was completed, and it would't allow me to rebuild the lumber shack, build one in another spot, etc. Very disappointing, as I really love Westward II.

From the very first westward game i was hooked. lots of options for ways to play.

I enjoy all the "Westward" games, although it can get frustrating when your characters and tasks are spread out. These games are simple to learn but never the same game twice, so hold up well for at least a couple of replays. You can also play as different characters, which changes the story slightly as well.
