Much like CastleMiner Z, Total Miner: Forge was a "poor man's Minecraft". It has since evolved into much more than its simplest days back when it first released; too much so that I don't recognize the game in front of me. At it's time when compared to the Xbox 360 edition of Minecraft, it was arguably more fun to ply with your friends, but soon got outclassed as Minecraft got better and better. I wish I could revisit the early days of Total Miner: Forge, I would absolutely go play it again.
The game's progression system is incredibly tedious, and it's quite stingy with the amount of ores and loot you receive. The day and night cycle feels too quick, and the combat system makes it nearly impossible to avoid getting hit, turning it into a turn-based game. Additionally, your character takes excessive fall damage from just falling two blocks. The menus and options are confusing, and crafting and storing items is too slow. You can't run, and the double jump is sluggish. Your character dies too easily, and the enemy spawn rate is excessively high. If you're looking for a more RPG-like block game, consider playing Terraria or modded Minecraft instead.
