Click to Civ

100% achievements in ~2.5h tl;dr = Digseum clone but inferior Pros + items + badges telling a story of human history and civilization as we move through the ages Neutral = active gold gain: passive gold gain is relatively low, your game is split into rock breaking in caves phase and gold farming in hometown phase. It's different and has a strategic aspect (e.g. speedrun) but some people will hate the clicker part of the game. Cons - all the badges are the same: you break rocks and get badges, all badges are the same unlike Digseum that at least had different shapes on the map - all the maps (= caves ~= rocks, I'm just going to call them maps) are the same: just different durability and count/layout which is not a meaningful difference at all - boring gameplay: spam click rocks, no brain used - boring tool upgrades: due to overly simplistic rock breaking gameplay, tool upgrades are also incredibly vanilla and boring - boring tree upgrades: no new mechanic unlocked, just increases numbers of basic stats - too many maps and badges: this could have been a strong point but because all the maps are the same and all the badges are the same, unlocking a new map or obtaining a new badge is unexciting and gets too mundane. Having so many maps and badges makes each less remarkable as it's just another one out of hundreds. Like you go through 100+ badges in half hour period and 94+ of them get obsolete in the same time window so of course each badge is unmemorable. Literally only 1 memorable badge (spoilers, but might be obvious). - low playtime for price: this game is ~2.5h for $4 which better than Click and Conquers' 100 minutes for $4 but too many incremental games offer 1h+ / $ without being grindy as they have interesting tree and thought out pacing Minor gripe - arrows in skill tree makes no sense. The direction doesn't affect anything but doesn't convey anything either. - items auto used: there is no way to disable or save an item for later, so the item dictates what you should do for optimal usage. Normally you decide when to use an item. This makes it so you have to grind for an item again when you need it. Anyone who is making a game inspired by Digseum should study Far Fishing and Pinata Go Boom to learn how interesting maps, objects, mechanics that change gameplay and thought out pacing are in incremental games in 2025 as the genre has evolved a lot this year.

100%ed the game in the time shown. blatant ripoff of digseum without adding anything of substance or any of the charm digseum had

This game reminds me a lot of Digseum, not necessarily a bad thing. It didn't overstay it's welcome.

все улучшения привязаны к большому количеству алмазов, а шанс получения хоть одного нереально низкий, + игра копирует дигсеум

Uninspired rip-off of [i]Digseum[/i]. Just go play that instead.

I found the mini-game portion deadly slow and dull, to the point that I had no interest in gaining upgrades.

Basic stuff just doesn't work. You can spend Prestige to unlock the ability to keep your Badges and Levels for specific areas whenever you Prestige, but it just doesn't work. The Badges still disappear. And the cost to Prestige goes up by an INSANE amount each time, so I can no longer afford to Prestige. Unless this is the same dev that made Digseum, this is a blatant ripoff anyway.

Click to Civ, developed and published by Phantom Realm, is a compact incremental game that frames its familiar clicker mechanics around the rise of civilization, offering a structured sense of progression that moves from primitive beginnings to a more automated and optimized system. It embraces the core appeal of the genre—steady growth and visible advancement—while attempting to give that loop a thematic identity rooted in human development and expansion. The experience begins in a deliberately simple state. Players are tasked with manually gathering resources by interacting with basic elements, establishing a rhythm that is both repetitive and immediately satisfying. This early phase is heavily focused on active participation, requiring constant input to generate progress. While this might feel limited at first, it serves an important role in setting the foundation for the systems that follow. The gradual accumulation of resources leads to the unlocking of new features, allowing players to transition from direct control to more passive forms of progression. As the game unfolds, it introduces systems that shift the experience away from pure clicking and toward management and optimization. Resources can be invested into a developing settlement, where they begin to generate value over time without constant input. This transition is one of the game’s more effective elements, as it creates a sense of evolution not just in the scale of the player’s progress but in how the game is played. What starts as a simple, hands-on activity gradually becomes a more strategic process, where decisions about upgrades and efficiency take precedence over raw input. The progression system is supported by additional features such as randomized rewards and upgrade variations, which add a degree of unpredictability to each session. These elements encourage experimentation, as different combinations can influence how quickly or efficiently players advance. While these systems are not deeply complex, they provide enough variation to prevent the experience from feeling entirely static, particularly during the mid-game where incremental titles often risk becoming repetitive. Despite these strengths, the game’s overall scope is relatively limited. It is designed to be completed within a short timeframe compared to many other incremental games, which often extend into long-term, ongoing experiences. This concise structure works well in maintaining a steady pace, ensuring that players are consistently rewarded without excessive grinding. However, it also means that the game does not offer significant long-term depth, and once the core systems have been fully explored, there is little left to discover. Visually, the game adopts a clean and functional presentation that emphasizes clarity. The interface is straightforward, allowing players to easily track resources, upgrades, and progression. The aesthetic leans toward simplicity, ensuring that nothing distracts from the core gameplay loop. While it does not aim for visual innovation, it succeeds in providing a readable and cohesive environment that supports the experience. Pacing is generally well-balanced in the early and middle stages, with a consistent flow of upgrades and milestones that maintain engagement. As the game progresses, however, it begins to slow, with certain sections requiring players to wait for resources to accumulate. This shift toward passivity is common within the genre, but it can feel more pronounced here due to the game’s shorter overall length. Additionally, occasional technical issues can interrupt the experience, highlighting areas where further refinement would have been beneficial. Ultimately, Click to Civ is a focused and accessible entry in the incremental genre, offering a satisfying progression loop within a clearly defined scope. It does not attempt to compete with larger, more complex titles, but instead delivers a streamlined experience that captures the essence of growth and optimization. For players looking for a concise and approachable idle game, it provides an enjoyable journey, even if its limited depth prevents it from leaving a lasting impression. Rating: 7/10
