Cauldron

I can't mince words. It's a grindfest. Cauldron is about a young witch, thrown into a world covered in shadow. Her task: gain resources through endless minigames á la Roguelite and slowly upgrade yourself through the tasks. At the same time fight the enemies in the shadows to uncover parts of the map, raising your production multiplier in the process. This again leading to additional skill points by upgrading certain thresholds in the gathering minigames. It's a sort of give-and-take scenario. Improve in one section to get better in another. Being quite simplistic, I like the game. It's good to just shut off your brain and autopilot after a hard day's work. Though, if you want to get 100%, expect around 140+ hours for all the resource gathering. No way to phrase it better: This game is designed to eat time. It's not as immersive as other great games where you don't even notice the passage of time, but given that you can save and exit at any point, it splits the content up in neat little chunks at your own discretion. The only negative thing I have to say about the game, I liked the music. But after 140 hours of, I believe, 3 different tracks, those same ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ tracks are now stuck playing in my head for the forseeable future. Coming to a conclusion, I give this game a solid 8/10. Some nice quality of life features could further improve this game's polish, but it is quite enjoyable as-is.

chill lil game

作为一款增量游戏，体验实在是太粪了 很难想象一个有上百个成就的增量游戏是如何把节奏做得这么拉稀的 虽然看似有5套迷你游戏+一套回合战斗作为核心循环，貌似是把6个增量游戏合而为一量大管饱 但没有一个迷你游戏是在有深度和爽快间哪怕粘上一者的： 回合战斗无论自动AI还是敌人的复活机制都极为恶心，属于伤害不大侮辱极强的那种体验 接苹果的小游戏简直降智，特别是小助手竟然还能和我往同一个方向抢苹果 钓鱼的体验极其牢，升级解锁越深竟然能让体验越牢也是人才 挖矿的小游戏稍微正常点，但也毫无深度到令人怀疑浪费光阴 很难想象有93%的特别好评啊……

This incremental game have everything, combat, minigames, for example minigame to collect apples, and then, turned out into epic party bullet hell, like what... and surprisingly, the combat mechanic is pretty solid, team battle with actual roles.. and yeah auto-able which is decent if you're a [strike] lazy [/strike] energy preserving person. [b] tldr; if you like to play games inside game and watching number go up everywhere, then this game for you. [/b]

This game leaves a complicated impression. When you just open it, it's suppose to be played as somewhat normal jrpg for a bit with you being involved in basic mini games to progress leveling, then you slowly get to a point when it transforms into a fully auto-battler, including mini games that you can just leave on auto play and only get involved in leveling, New game+ features and some team compositions. And when you're done with most basic stuff that can be done mostly on Auto play, so when you get to latest achievments for mini-games and hard game modes, is when the game demands of you to take some control back. Game has a rather nice visual design, normal pixelart, music and vfx, and a chill story that wouldn't bother you if you don't care but will be somewhat entertaining if it gets you, jokes are fine. If you're looking for somewhat chill auto-battler/idle game this one won't disappoint(except maybe for an hour or two you will have to pay attention to get how stuff works), if you're looking for full Platinum walkthrought keep in mind that some skill and grind of said mini-games will be involved.

インクリメンタルゲームがいくつか詰まった作品ですが、1つ1つがミニゲームサイズではなく1つの作品として見てもバランスが良く完成度が高いです。 通常のインクリメンタルゲームであれば能力がインフレすると画面がゴチャゴチャしてきますが、そう思い始める頃に特定の物体の透過や背景色などを自動で変更してくれるので、とても丁寧に作られていると感じました。 1つのミニゲームをある程度楽しんで、スキルツリーが育たなくなってきたら次のゲームを進める。その間に今までやっていたゲームの素材が自動で集まっていくという放置要素もありストレスフリーです。 ストーリーに関しては他の方が言われているように緩めです。ミニゲームを遊ぶ前に戦闘すると泣きを見ますが、ミニゲームをある程度詰めた後に戦うと楽に叩き潰せます。 戦闘は「いろいろ説明あるけどよく分からない」という人には自動戦闘機能もあるので、"能力が上がっている状態であれば"困らないようになってます。 300円とかでイマイチなゲームをいくつか買うより、その予算でこれを1本買う方が圧倒的にオススメです。 悪い部分を挙げるとするなら時間を忘れてやり過ぎてしまう所と、他のゲームがクオリティ不足と感じるようになってしまう所でしょうか。

i had a lot of fun with this one, very active incremental game with a sweet lil story + world. good time <3

Great incremental game, honestly. Definitely got repetitive later, but the scaling was decent enough that it at least felt like progress was still being made. Managed to 100% in 44 hours which is pretty decent for the cost of the game

No está en Español, pero tampoco me ha hecho falta leer para entender cómo se juega. Los minijuegos son entretenidos hasta que los rompes y el combate se vuelve sencillo una vez desbloqueas el modo automático. Para echar un rato está bien, el diseño pixel art me parece que encaja muy bien para los minijuegos que propone.

I rarely play a game more than once, barely more than twice. I'm on my third run now just to 100%. Love this game.
