I didn’t mind Citadel. It was the first of its style that I have ever actually played. I now realize the open world sandbox “do whatever you want” kind of games are not really for me, but I can easily see fans of this genre can have some fun here even with the shallow quest system, some clunky controls and the technical issues.
Drew Leachman · Nov 14, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewCitadel: Forged With Fire has an interesting, even fun, premise lurking through some of the rough edges. A game like this is most fun when played with others, especially when you consider that on most servers, the things you build will be available for all players on that server to see. The lack of much in the way of content, though, means players are left to their own devices and imagination when it comes to interesting things to see and do.
Paulmichael Contreras · Nov 12, 2019 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewBefore plunking down the cash on Citadel: Forged With Fire, just know that you’re going to have to put dozens and dozens of hours into this before you get to everything promised in the trailer. If you loved item-collecting and crafting from Skyrim, base-building from No Man’s Sky, and the Sandbox feel of Minecraft, I daresay this game is 100% made with you in mind (and it really is as cool as it sounds); for everyone else, head to YouTube and watch a few playthroughs before making your decision.
Heather Johnson Yu · Nov 12, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThere’s clearly a lot of time and effort that has been put in to Citadel: Forged with Fire. An impressive amount of detail has gone into the systems and world and for those who get into the swing of things, this will likely hold their attention for quite some time. Unfortunately, the gathering and combat is tedious, the UI and control scheme is maddeningly unhelpful and to achieve anything noteworthy takes far, far too long.
Jamie Collyer · Nov 06, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewCitadel: Forged With Fire has so much potential, but it's still very obviously in the early stages of development. Wait to buy it.
Joseph Rowe · Aug 04, 2017 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIt isn’t all terrible, and I do feel that with some attention focused on quality of life improvements and perhaps a little more respect for the player’s time there is potentially a really fun game underneath. There are lots of caves and interesting things to explore which have loot in them, as well as enemy camps to raid, dungeons to delve into and mysterious monoliths that will provide you with a temporary buff. There is some potential with the different crafting recipes as well as the items you can find in chests and in dungeons to really experiment with different builds.
Nicola Ardron · Nov 27, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewCitadel: Forged with Fire on the Xbox One doesn’t get off to the best of starts, throwing you in at the deep end with nothing to cling onto. The tutorial does a terrible job of explaining anything, even causing you to re-assign many of the buttons on the controller. But it’s worth sticking with. Figure out what you’re supposed to do and the game becomes a delightful sandbox for you to become the mage you were born to be.
Richard Dobson · Nov 17, 2019 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewProfundidad, complejidad, exigencia, repetitividad… son algunas de las virtudes y algunos de los defectos –depende del punto de vista- con que cuentan la mayoría y que echan para atrás al jugador poco paciente. Sin embargo, si hablamos de Citadel: Forge with Fire nos encontramos con la propuesta que más da la bienvenida al jugador nuevo con la eliminación o simplificación de muchas mecánicas tediosas, pero que irónicamente, carece de un tutorial que aporte los suficientes conocimientos para poder dominarlo a las primeras horas, obligando al jugador a tener mucho de autodidacta.
Pedro Herrero · Dec 05, 2019 Reviewed on PC, PS4, XB1Read full reviewCitadel: Forged With Fire tiene buenas premisas, alguna idea original y buena apariencia, pero al final cae en los problemas más recurrentes de los sandbox MMO habituales. Para cuando puedas volar, jugar partidos de quidditch o construir un castillo te darás cuenta de que no justifican las horas que has dedicado a lidiar con su tosco sistema de combate, su recolección o las aburridas misiones secundarias que obtenemos de vez en cuando. ¿Tiene potencial? Desde luego que sí, pero tendrá que sacarlo a lucir mediante actualizaciones regulares.
Mario Gómez · Nov 05, 2019 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewCitadel: Forged with Fire entra en el mundo de los MMORPG sin revolución alguna. Si bien es cierto que cuenta con un sistema de crafteo y de creación de hechizos muy interesante, aun se encuentra lejos de ser una opción que pueda pelear con los grandes del género.
