Smash and Bash Monsters: Prologue

⠀

1.5/10 game doesnt tell you that you need to use the scroll wheel to change weapons and it took me a minute to figure out how to do damage. clicking on items bring up a little sell or equip boxes on the item. you also start dragging the item to its stupid hard to click the boxes. clicked load-out 2 after unlocking and all my equipped items vanished. went back to load out 1 and they are gone!! didnt get sold or anything, just gone. quitting the game and coming back with continue, ALL my items are gone the scimitar doesnt do any damage at all???? quiting and coming back made me lose some of my upgrades. all around broken game

Quite interesting for an idle/clicker game. It caught my attention because even though the gameplay is about defeating enemies, the player doesn't actually get attacked so it's more of an area clear/DPS check model for progression. What I like is that each weapon type has it's on method of dealing damage in terms of whether or not you have to spam click vs. just hold down LMB. In addition, some weapons are better than others when it comes to area clear DPS vs. single target DPS, while others have a more balanced DPS distribution, giving the player some tactical/strategic control of how effective their setup is. The large number of item slots is pretty handy when it comes to allowing the player to fine tune their build based on the stats you can get from loot drops. Might not be the most visually striking idle/clicker out there, but the gameplay and mechanics are solid.

This is just the begginnig of a really fun and relaxing game! I have many more hours in the full game!
