“Excessively backtracky to a fault, and full of "walk to from point A to B and then back to A without doing anything" quests across the same five screens. That said, the characters are charming even though I wasn't…”

“this game is artificially bloated. walk to the left to talk to someone. walk to the right to give the same npc a hammer. walk back to the left to get a new quest, ooops....the hammer again. the designers mustve been…”

“Didn't expect to play the whole thing through but after an hour I was hooked. Literally. Voice acting is funny as it seems like 2 people do all of it. Was well worth it and if you can put an air tag on that hammer.”
“Got this game after seeing a couple of videos on it and I must say I'm impressed with how fun it is, I highly reccomend this game for anyone who needs something just to play and laugh with when you dont know what to do.…”

“As much as I like VLDL, the game itself isn't that great. The further you get, the grindier it becomes. Questing turns into constant backtracking from one end of the map to the other and back again, and it quickly gets…”
“NICE DAY FOR RUNNING ERRANDS. This game is just 20% fishing and 80% going around to run errands. I hate getting ALMOST EVERY quest items (and even some type of fishes) in some underwater caves with annoying waves.…”

“It's ok. If you like VLDL or it's on a huge sale I would get it, otherwise skip it. It's pretty grindy and there are alot of quality of life missing that make the game artifically longer to clear for no reason.”

“First off, a disclaimer: This game is based on a youtube series and was very much made directly for fans of that series. If you've never heard of Viva La Dirt League, you will probably not enjoy this game. If you have heard of them and you've ever thought "oh, I wish they'd made…”
— a player, Steam review · 21 hrs played“"hello, adventurer". I absolutely adore the content these people do on YouTube and with a very huge fan of Honeywood and folks, this game is the best time passer ever. It's simple, it's fun and even though I'm not huge fan of pixel graphics I made a huge exception on this one.…”
— a player, Steam review · 98 hrs played“One of the problems with Steam reviews is that you can only choose Recommend or Not Recommend. There’s no real option for "it depends". If you’re a fan of Viva La Dirt League, and specifically of the Epic NPC Man sketches, you’ll probably get some enjoyment out of this game.…”
