Gamblers Table

I love watching my little guys flip the coins, they're just little guys that keep flipping coins, it's so cool, they're just little fellas, small guys that keep flipping the coins for me, no compensation or anything, just for pure love of the grind

I had this game on my wishlist and was really looking forward to its release. Unfortunately, it turned out to be little more than a prettier but grindier version of Incredicer, with only a fraction of the available upgrades. Most of your time is spent waiting to earn another skill tree point, which in most cases barely affects your next run, aside from maybe one or two exceptions. What you see in the first ten minutes is pretty much what you’ll be doing for the next two hours, which is about how long it takes to finish the game. After that, you’ll need to spend a few more hours just to unlock the remaining achievements. I also found the music loop quite irritating after a while. I did, however, like the idea of the different tables, each offering their own buffs. If the developers had put as much effort into creating meaningful upgrades (22) as they did into adding an unnecessary number of cosmetic hats (149 lol), it might have been worth playing. For me, this one isn’t worth recommending.

The first couple hours are a good time but the current version has some pretty bad progression/balance issues that need to be polished before it's really where it needs to be. Prestige becomes a slog pretty early on and only a few upgrades I unlocked really drove up the numbers in a way that gave me that incremental happy feeling. Possibly to pad the playtime? Hope they can iron out the kinks it really is a handsome game.
