Aluminium City

As someone who played a lot of incremental games, this is definitely a standout title for me. Part of that might because I've come to love janky vibes-based games with an eery undertone (very much reminds me of Berry Bury Berry), but as long as you don't have an issue with this subgenre, you'll IMO likely enjoy yourself!

[h1]Pretty good, but with setbacks[/h1] Good progression, neat gameplay setting for an incremental, but can draw people away for clicking/walking too much [hr][/hr][b]Progression[/b] is [i]mostly[/i] upgrading base stats, but they manage to feel impactful and worthy at the cost of more clicking. But you wont have to click too much if you balance your upgrade purchases along with automation properly. You'll be unlocking different buildings with respective upgrades/different resource focus and have to [b]walk[/b] to them to access their shops. Plus there's an exploration element to this game. There isnt much to explore, but it felt like a nice diversion while waiting for automation to do its thing. But for all that walking there are [b]no speed upgrades[/b] [i](no sprinting/bhopping either)[/i], and only way to remotely open shop upgrades is to reach mid-game and obtain a device which does exactly that. Catch is, you can only open them [b]once per 2.7 minutes[/b] and [b]not all shops can be accessed[/b] with it [b]right away[/b], device must be upgraded to reach other shops. So game might feel tedious in that regard, [b]still[/b] going from shop to shop because device is recharging, and only upgrade that can improve that is [b]weak[/b], [b]click based[/b] and [b]unlocks pretty late[/b]. Then there's [b]story[/b]. It's here, but i dont care, i'm not the one for reviewing lore sorry xd[hr][/hr] I can draw parallels with robl*x incrementals here, but that would be too insulting. Especially since this one does a [i]bit[/i] more than just base stat upgrades. Game's launch was very unpolished [i]("upgrade UI"-wise and other bugs)[/i], but the incremental parts that matter were executed pretty well.
