What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
DECON Protocol is plagued by technical issues including broken offline progress and perceived abandonment, while its core gameplay suffers from excessive grind, weak upgrade progression, and a general sense of tedium that players suspect is intentional to push microtransactions. While some appreciate the visual presentation, the consensus is that it fails to deliver a satisfying idle game experience and players consistently recommend looking elsewhere for better alternatives in the genre.
Offline progress hasn't worked for close to a month now. Game becomes extremely repetitive very quickly. Upgrades don't feel like they're doing much, if anything at all. Save your time and play one of the better idlers.4 found this helpful
The game is fine. Fun to look at and lots of content. Its just so dull. Staring at this laser for a while. I cant imagine anyone buying the 10 dollar micro transactions that make the game faster. This makes me think they made the game boring on purpose so people will spend money to unlock the next feature. Something about the game just feels scumy. It has potential to be good but Im not a fan.2 found this helpful
Just another mobile conversion, ignore this trash !! (and of course the only reason this thing is here is because of the Steam handheld)2 found this helpful
Game is abandoned. I'm just trying to grind the achievements since I made the mistake of starting this game. - No daily login boosts anymore. - No offline progress, or if there is it's miniscule. - Progress is painfully slow. After wormholing it takes weeks to get back to where you were to gain a small amount of progress in levels again. - I'm not convinced memory cache and familiarity work as they should. If they do, read the previous point. - Upgrades are not powerful enough as a whole. - Some resources are lacking, some you get too much (tens of thousands of splicers and nothing to do with them after easily maxing out their intented use target). - Way too grindy smaller missions in the game.
Not good
I really love the graphics but the gameplay is just ok. it doesn't scratch that idle itch I'm looking for BUT I want to point out how much I love the art style here. Can't wait to see more from this dev in the future!
