SideQuest Hunters

This game doesn't know what it wants to be. The only roguelite element is that you repeat runs and they have a little bit of choice what route to take, but...not really. Maps just repeat after the last one, so there is very little variety in content. There is one item that completely trivializes the game and makes oyu basically immortal, and it's very easy to target from the shops since you will quickly reach a point where you have more currency for the shop than you know what to do with. On top of it, this currency also quickly becomes obsolete, because when you reach your preferred item loadout, you have no use for the shop anymore, which makes all the bonus currency upgrades you chose in that run completely useless. But the worst part is, this game has one of the most badly implemented balances between active gameplay and idle play that I have ever witnessed in any game. You can not really idle this game, because after each fight, you HAVE to choose a path option (even if there is only one path and you have no upgrades to do, you must actively choose that only option). But the fights themselves are also not long enough that you can really focus on doing anything else during …

A busted 1 dimensional game that hasn't received an update in 2 months (as of June 2025). 0/5 - Steam should remove games like this, and block their developers from releasing anything else.

This game is simple, straight forward. Just hangs out and runs. And it has that "play a little more just to see what happens" appeal. I think I have gone far enough that nothing really different is going to happen, but it is compelling enough to keep me going just in case. I gifted a copy to a streamer buddy and he's running it down in the corner with his stream. It has that kind of "ugh just one more run, maybe two more" sort of attraction. Good entertainment. I would like to see some hotkeys when the window is focused. A similar game I just played has F5/F6 to zoom the window in and out. A fullscreen toggle hotkey would be nice too. For me it is because my eyes are old and if I totally shrink the windows, it's hard to click on the controls to zoom it back up to where I can see it again. So for a $5 price tag, I have 40+ hours in game. That's like $0.125 per hour, so great gaming value. I recommend with confidence.

The game is fun for something you play on the side (idle). But atm the balance for the shop items breaks the game. A few items that are easy to get make you so powerful that you are unkillable. So no matter how little damage you do you just have to wait to beat all enemys and bosses. I hope the devs will patch it soon, because the only carot on the stick for the game is to go as far as your stats get you and repeat (rougelike). If that is gone there is no fun in the game.

A neat little idle-ish game. I wish there was more content, interesting choices, and a way to leave it completely idle (not just checking every 5 mintes, which is the worst). Even if it's like an option "if you don't do anything for 5 minutes, it automatically proceeeds or choses a random upgrade".

It's a good grind but at some point it's clear which items you need to practically go infinitetly far. In that regard, I wished there was some kind of full idle upgrade to unlock since for that last achievement of getting all gear upgraded to max you need at least a couple million gold and having no real way of idling gold, that is quite annoying to gain.
