Lhama Clicker

The llamas are cute as F ...

To be fair, the game does have some cute pop culture nods, and the bright colors are nice - if you squint past the fact that there's barely anything to actually do. The prologue had more gameplay than the full release, which is... certainly a choice.

For a game priced at 5 euros, there’s surprisingly little to do, and it starts to feel repetitive almost immediately. On top of that, achievements are broken, and it seems like the dev isn’t really paying attention to the game’s discussion forum, which doesn’t inspire much confidence for future updates or fixes.

Also, there's no stat overview page, so tracking your progress feels vague and unsatisfying - pretty important for an idle/incremental game.

My advice ? Just play the prologue, then pretend that’s the whole experience. You'll be better off.

... but the game feels half-baked

I'm gonna start this out by saying I LOVE idle/clicker games. I was really hopeful when I saw this one come out. It was awesome at first, but quickly started to see issues.

Bugs, bugs everywhere as far as the eye can see. Audio was a huge issue at first but this was addressed in a patch thankfully. Game save states are awful. Every time I load my game I have no idea if it's going to launch my most recent save. If I load my game and I lose several hours of progress, I just keep closing and loading the game until it actually loads the correct save.... if it ever loads the correct save. There's no way to load specific saves either. Often times I'll load my game and be 5-10 levels under where I was at previously. Just as an example, I'll get the achievement for being level 50, load my game, and I'm level 44.

Scaling is another big issue. I have all of the meta progression upgrades, yet I still have 8 buildings yet to be unlocked. I don't know if this is just artificially trying to increase the length of time it takes to beat the game or just poor scaling design.

There is hope for this game, it did just come out, so I'm putting it down and hoping to come back to it in 6 months to a year to see where this is at. It's only 5 bucks, got some fun out of it, wouldn't say it's worth it just yet.
