Octogun - Idle

Idle & Incremental Lovers recommends Octogun, with caveats: [i] Eight "arms" Broctopus brings six "arms" Brotato vibes into the idler genre. Casual take, lots of weapons, numbers go up and clean UI. Pacing is way too slow to be enjoyable in the long run, though. [/i] + Like said in this short review, the game has a lot of qualities and potential. + It's fun to experiment with the different weapons in the first hour of play. + Hats for the collectors out there (and some synergies too). + My first gripe with Octogun was that a lot of things were unexplained and that I was missing crucial information to understand how the game works (it took me 30 minutes to fully get it). Props to the dev for quickly tackling this point with a patch introducing various tutorial informations into the game! +/- While technically it's possible to create "builds" and merge weapons, you quickly realize that you can brainlessly progress just by scaling your stats and weapons. I went this easy way, but i admit some people may have fun tinkering with specific builds. - Some informations are still missing despite the latest patch, but what really bothered me was not knowing how much new skill points I was g…

Was fun getting op af and getting all achievements, it's really well done gameplay loop gets to shine and I like that. Many quick quality of life updates were released very quickly before I could even mention them here. While becoming op is really fun, once you are, there arent really any major difficulty checks until the literal "difficulty level" going up until you dont make enough goldfish to buy the current lvl weapons. It would be cool to have some checks that cant be cheesed by just numbers at over difficulty level 99, but other than that this game is a fun little achievement hunt.

This is a pretty good idle and merging game overall, though it lacks some explanation. There are a lot of hats to collect that reward you with stats, but it actually took me 20 hours just to figure out how to change them. Once I finally figured that out, I was able to finish all the hat requirements and get 100% achievements in no time since I already had a 387udc% bonus built up. One of the standout features is the detailed breakdown of overall damage for all your weapons. This tracker is very helpful for strategizing your build. It makes it so much easier to determine which weapons need to be swapped out and to figure out which armaments synergize best when placed next to each other. The experience is not without a few quirks, primarily a lack of explanation for certain mechanics. For instance, it took me around 20 hours just to figure out how to actually change hats. Additionally, there is a mysterious flashing crown that appears in the bottom left corner after descension. Clicking it does nothing, and it just vanishes after a few waves. A little more guidance or a tutorial would go a long way here. Finally, there is one technical issue worth calling out regarding how it idle…

I really like this one. a perfect mix of idle (making 'money') and actively choosing new weapons/upgrades. I think the idea with the hats is so cool? not only can u get different bonusses but I also love that the octopus actually wears the hat that you choose to go.. swim with. I like the balancing and the progression; it was a little different when the game was fresh in the store, but there were some patches making everything even better. Tbh, just buy it and have fun - its a nice having-it-running-in-the-background-and-sometimes-buying-new-weapons-game. : D

PRO - simple and addicting gameplay , idle defense arena shooter mixed together NEUTRAL - kinda short but as I expected and wanted CONS - maybe no max levels and not so many legendary weapons

fish go boom number go up dopamine go brrrrr
