Dragon Cliff

This game is a little bit of a hidden gem. I say "hidden" because the name Dragon Cliff doesn't say anything about the game, and unless you either search by tags or just get lucky, you will probably never see it or click on it if you do. It is an adventure management type game, but you wouldn't know from the title. Although the premise of adventurer simulation seems like solid gold, previous attempts I played ranged from fair to garbage quality. So, I was pleasantly surprised Dragon Cliff was actually good. If you are a fan of light simulation or idlers, $10 is fair. If you can get it on sale definitely try it out. Pros: +Interesting, original classes. +Surprisingly deep tactical options. +Respeccing characters is easy and makes it fun to try different builds. +Lots free updates. +No crashes. +NO MICROTRANSACTIONS!!! +Many unlocks as you progress to keep the game interesting. +Reasonable to 100%, with a little research and a lot of idling (Hint: Click your amulets to upgrade!) +Excellent searching and sorting of your many items. Real effort went into this. +Story actually showed some self respect in a genre known for throwaway joke plots. Cons: -Tactical options become much more limited very late in the secret dungeon. -Some of the classes and abilities are pure noob-bait. I go straight for noob-bait. -A little bit hard to get good strategies and data (unless you read Chinese). -Story kind of left hanging. Is this supposed to be a series or something?

Review after a few hours played: This is a great resource-farming game with semi-automated combat. You could play this game idly in the background, but I enjoy playing it actively. It delivered exactly what I expected and wanted from it. I also quite enjoy the art style, personally. Much fun! I look forward to grinding out many more hours in this game. Edited review now with 300+ hours: The game is great to play actively for the first 10-15 hours, but then it needs to run AFK to get the exp and resources you need to progress. Having difficulty getting my team strong enough to survive difficult mode. If I let it run for two days, I can then log in for about 10 minutes or so to switch around some gear and whatnot, then let it run again while I wait. Continuing on mostly because I feel I've committed to it at this point. The most frustrating thing is that it unlocks things to do like reforge equipment, but doesn't tell you how it works so you have to figure it out on your own. Would be nice to have a brief tutorial for each unlocked thing.
