It's been a month since I stumbled upon and started playing Steamgifts. The game hooked me and I decided to write a short review on it.


At first glance, the game is very primitive with meager mechanics. But this is an erroneous impression.

The developers really laid down only the basic functionality and, if you won’t try to figure it out, the whole game will be no better than an ordinary clicker… But once you understand the role of the community in the game - the game will reveal its full potential.

Wide range of factions to join

Of course you can play solo, but this way you will limit your player experience. In the vastness of Steamgifts you can find clans and societies (both open and closed (and even hidden!)) of all possible alignments. From Lawful good to Chaotic evil and everything between.

I was lucky enough to discover some assassins to fight my backlog along with nice group of people who thinks that games are actually worth playing and one more group with regular joined raids on their wins :)

Community made mods and addons

One more aspect of the game that makes it more pleasant. There are puzzles and events (some of which are small good games in their own right) here and there conducted by regular players. For a while I did not notice some of them, but as soon as I read zelgh magic guide to basic sg puzzling I began to notice more such events.

And there are plenty of mods that can be used on top of the Steamgifts - my mod of choice is the Enhanced SteamGifts (ESGST) - with it, the game interface becomes much more pleasant and richer in function.

My overall rating: ★★★★☆


Thank you for reading to the end :) My first discussion topic here, and I'm a little worried about how appropriate such a post is. Using some community advice for the future would be helpful for me. Zero critics here? I don't think so. Getting feedback is always important.

Nice :) Unfortunately I have some kind of psychological block on games made in RPG Maker - can't make myself play them :)
