Idle Warrior

There are times when an idle game is so basic it is almost a screensaver you click once every day or two. Except there's not enough movement to be a screensaver. I love idle games and this one doesn't have an ounce of fun in it. There's no difference in gameplay mechanics from the first minute to the 100th day. You can unlock everything by doing absolutely nothing for a few days and then it's just the numbers going higher.

It's too basic even for an idle game. I should have passed on this one.

As idle games go, this one is very much on the minimalistic side. So much so that it cannot hold my attention.

The main issue I have with the game is that it doesn't give any incentive to progress through the levels, except for unlocking Steam achievements. Thankfully, the developer is responsive to feedback and we can expect this to change for the better, sooner rather than later I hope.

Another issue I have is the linearity of it all. On the one hand, all upgrades are additive, making for smaller and smaller steps on the power scale (relatively speaking, of course). And on the other hand, the game is missing the cornerstone of any non-simplistic idle game: prestige. This all makes for a rather dull experience in comparison to many FREE idle games. But again, the developer responded to feedback in that sense, and we can expect improvements.

So, overall, although the game is "dirt cheap", I just can't recommend it in its current state. You'll very likely get bored very very soon after starting, unless simplicity and mindless gameplay is exactly what you're looking for. Of course, if the game improves, I'll definitely give it another shot, but for the time being, I'll let my minute-maid AHK script play the game near-optimally (to emphasize the simplicity of the gameplay).
