Aluminium City

[h1]Pretty good, but with setbacks[/h1] Good progression, neat gameplay setting for an incremental, but can draw people away for clicking/walking too much [hr][/hr][b]Progression[/b] is [i]mostly[/i] upgrading base stats, but they manage to feel impactful and worthy at the cost of more clicking. But you wont have to click too much if you balance your upgrade purchases along with automation properly. You'll be unlocking different buildings with respective upgrades/different resource focus and have to [b]walk[/b] to them to access their shops. Plus there's an exploration element to this game. There isnt much to explore, but it felt like a nice diversion while waiting for automation to do its thing. But for all that walking there are [b]no speed upgrades[/b] [i](no sprinting/bhopping either)[/i], and only way to remotely open shop upgrades is to reach mid-game and obtain a device which does exactly that. Catch is, you can only open them [b]once per 2.7 minutes[/b] and [b]not all shops can be accessed[/b] with it [b]right away[/b], device must be upgraded to reach other shops. So game might feel tedious in that regard, [b]still[/b] going from shop to shop because device is rechargi…

As someone who played a lot of incremental games, this is definitely a standout title for me. Part of that might because I've come to love janky vibes-based games with an eery undertone (very much reminds me of Berry Bury Berry), but as long as you don't have an issue with this subgenre, you'll IMO likely enjoy yourself!

A charming little melancholic incremental game. It's not perfect, it tends a bit grindy near the end (for example the medium and big can crushing machines seem to pefrorm really poorly versus the small ones, so didn't feel like they were worth the upgrade), and there's a lot of walking around. But with some patience it's an enjoyable experience for people (like me) who are into this type of game. Sit back, turn off all the lights, and enjoy the sweet sound of crushing aluminium.
