Arcane Plunder

Everything you do in the first 5 minutes is what you do the entire game. Far too shallow to be worth the price of admission. 1/5 - There are thousands of free games with more depth to them.

Currently cant recommend this game, only took about an hour and 20 minutes to 99% the game. And i say 99% because there is an achievement to make your money go negative but no obvious way of doing so. I'm guessing you need to overflow your money but the numbers go over 2.147bil so im really not sure. Probably has something to do with making custom skill trees and playing through the game again but I CBA to test it out on such a short game.

Good incremental game. If you liked digseum or click&conquer you will like this one.

To me it was okay. Nothing special, if you want a game like digeseum to kill some time you can buy it.

God awful performance because it simply tries to push 3-5k FPS constantly on a game that shouldn't EVER need to be more than 60 FPS. Every click is inducing stuttering.

Arcane Plunder started reasonably well, but by the time I reached the end I was much more relieved that it was finally over than satisfied that I'd completed it. The basic idea is simple enough. You click away cloud cover to reveal and collect gold before your mana runs out, then spend that gold on upgrades to make the next run stronger. Eventually you prestige, reset your progress and use what you've earned to become more powerful. For the first few minutes, I was reasonably happy with that little incremental loop. Unfortunately, that loop is essentially the entire game. As I progressed, I kept expecting the prestiges to lead somewhere. A new mechanic, another activity, a different map, a meaningful change to the gameplay... something. Instead, I found myself unlocking the same small collection of upgrades repeatedly across an increasingly large skill tree. Then I started unlocking more versions of those same upgrades through the prestige tree. I lost count of the exact number, but I went through somewhere around 50 prestiges during my three-plus hours of play. Despite all those resets, the fundamental experience never meaningfully changed. I was still looking at the same clou…
