Click Mage

Got invested pretty early on, concept is nice and early game is interesting. But once you get to the late game, you can tell how drastically artificially extended the game is. With no automation options, it just becomes a long, unfun, repetitive grind. Give some automation options for the late game, and you've got yourself a fun little game. Something to do with chests would also be nice, as of right now, there is no reason to ever build one.

Short, but fun. Completely lacking in automation though, so that tag is a bit misleading, but otherwise nice.

[h2] Review of Click Mage [/h2] [h2] Gameplay Overview [/h2] Click Mage is a minimalistic resource management game that invites players into a colorful world (map) where they take on the role of a Wizard striving to return home. The gameplay revolves around collecting and refining resources, building structures, and unlocking upgrades (Merchant blueprints) for the player and craft/refining stations. The gameplay is very charming and engaging, it's hard to put the game down. [h2] Pros [/h2] The game offers a laid back atmosphere and is visually appealing, sound effects of the gathered materials has great detail. Getting through the game will take around 4 to 6 hours. + The auto-click (getting resources) (wood , stone, ore, water) + Price point of $4.99 (as of this moment of writing) + Upgrades for player and Stations + Music OST + sound effects are very relaxing and soothing + Developer support on issues from community (storage chests, balancing issues) Developer is very involved [h2] Cons [/h2] However, one significant drawback is the lack of automation in resource management. Players may find themselves frustrated with the constant need to move resources manually. [strike]Players end up with massive pools of raw materials, a storage for raw materials would be a nice addition here.[/strike] Patch 1.20 added storage Chests of 100 raw materials capacity per chest so this issue is solved. - No automatation - Game is short (dlc?) [h2] Conclusion [/h2] Overall, Click Mage has its charm and can be enjoyable for short sessions. It’s perfect for those who appreciate simple mechanics and a cozy aesthetic but may not satisfy players seeking deeper gameplay or automation features. If you enjoy casual resource management games Click Mage could be very worth your time. Recommended 8/10. Thank you for reading.
