Dead Profit

I bought the game and spent a few hours in. Since it's in early access, I thought it was okay. But the latest update is too much for me. Dev seems to have no idea where his game is going. Half of this game is just... placeholders for "later update" but dev is asking the community to give some idea for the game. When an update is released, there is more and more empty features with "Will add the rewards later". And now he is telling us that he will raise the price tag later ? Does he realise that his game is actualy more empty than every free part of every idle/clicker free to play games ? @Dev : Please, focus on adding content and balance actual content rather that just adding placeholders again and again and tell us that you will later raise the prize.

There's early-access minimalist casual games - then there's this. [b] 8/10, made me enjoy cleaning the dishes. Don't buy it. [/b] The aptly named 'Dead Profit' fulfils the absolute minimum requirements to be classified as software. It roughly approximates a game. In purchasing this Skinner Box, you will experience: - A gameloop that will addle your brain, yet provide just enough dopaminergic activity to keep those now deficient brain cells pressing buttons. - 20 minutes of purchasing upgrades that make no difference to gameplay. - Watch your money continue to rise, cursed with the rapidly dawning knowledge that it can't be spent on anything - "Just One More Turn", as you commit to complete another order. Not because you want to. But because now you must. - Progressively demanding orders. There's no real difference between them, but some will arbitrarily take 9 times as many resources for a marginal increase in value. Consequently, hold your head in your hands when you receive a 'Soulfrite Acid Bow' order, and bathe in waves of relief from a 'Mezmizote Frost Swords' order. Push the following realisation to the furthest depths of your mind: that the most rewarding experience so far has been the game giving you less game to play. - The sweet relief of completing order 40 and unlocking Factions. - Choose your favourite waifu. Doesn't matter which one you pick, but you can customise which of the primary colours is registered in your visual cortex when you open the faction menu. - Visit the faction shop to see nothing can be bought with your valueless money, nor sold to increase your valueless money. This will be the fridge you hopelessly and compulsively check for new sustenance while enjoying your previously selected coloured bulb. - A renewed appreciation for other games in your Steam library. Dead Profit does have some genuinely redeeming features, which I now share without any sarcasm or flippancy: - Everything else I have to do today seems a lot more enjoyable now. - I thoroughly enjoyed writing this review. All that said, the game does have a solid foundation to grow from, assuming the dev is genuinely invested in this title. However... Given that this title reached early access at this stage in the development, I don't have much hope in that. It's one to watch, but don't buy it yet.

Cool concept, and very great for such an early release. I've obviously unlocked pretty much everything already, but I know there will be more content in the future. For the next release I would like to see windowed mode as well as a way to disable sounds. There is also an issue where my antivirus tries to block the game. I would look into that if I were you :) I will update my review when you later update the game.

The game is pretty bare bones as of now, but it's enjoyable. The only problem that I have is that the menu on the top gets clipped out on my 32" monitor.

地獄と天国が戦争している中で武器商人として武器を売りさばく！といった設定のクリッカーゲームです 毎回現れる注文に合わせた素材と武器の種類、そしてエンチャントを決めて制作して売るといった感じなので、その度に設定を変えなければならないので完全放置ではありません。 素材の採掘では初期では出て来た鉱石をクリックで掘る必要があり 武器の制作では自動では遅いのでクリックを押し続けて早くし エンチャントは一定タイミングでタイミングよくスペースキーを押して売値を上げる必要がある為、ちょっとしたミニゲーム的要素があります。 何で一定時間で武器のリクエストが消えてしまうのか？(クリアするまでは何度も同じ注文がポップします）といったちょっとした疑問点もありますが、シンプルすぎず、かつ難しい事は無い出来はあまり深く考えず遊べる気軽さがあります。 ちょっと前まで製作者が日本円の値段設定を間違えて1万5700円にしちゃったといううっかりミスはありましたが、現在は157円という値段以上に遊べるゲームではあると思います。 しかし値段を考慮しないでゲームボリュームを考えるとまだ早期アクセスという事もあり、一定オーダーをこなして武器供給先の派閥を選び延々と武器を作っているだけなのですが、購入して今後のアップデートを待つ価値も十二分にあると思います。

What a game! Seriously addictive, you aren't going to want to stop making acid arrows when you start :D I can't wait to see what new features come out for this game in the future, but right now, I give it 10/10!!!

I am loving this game and have gotten far. The only thing I haven't unlocked is the factions and that is coming up soon. I cannot wait to see what else is going to happen!

Dead Profit sure looks like some kind of fun tycoon game, but it's not. Think of it as best a hybrid between a really bad, shallow clicker/incrementer and a really bad QTE game, only if it was basically unfinished, and also had worse graphics and gameplay. If you're looking for anything like that at all, well, this ain't it. In fact if you are looking for that kind of game, why are you looking on Steam at all? There's hundreds of free browser incrementers and hundreds of free ones on the app stores. Oh yeah, the "developer" wants money for this, too. While this uses third party stock assets, the developer at least acknowledged he didn't make the assets for the game (although we are left to wonder who did... it's not hard to write the credits page properly), so the developer is still using someone else's assets, for profit, without having the decency to say "If you liked the assets in this game they were created by this actual asset creator so go buy his assets". Courtesy is something lost on amateur game developers, it seems. Despite not being in Steam Early Access (where this arguably belongs), the game is missing features and is apparently incomplete. Due to the lack of meaningful progress from the developer, it's unlikely the game will be completed at all, yet the developers reprehensively have their hand out for money for an incomplete game. This is a good reason for gamers to avoid this. The game is very simplistic, small and limited in scope and ambition. This feels more like a tech demo, proof of concept or student homework assignment rather than a fully fledged product designed for PC gamers. As such it doesn't offer any real value as a serious PC game. From a technical perspective, the game doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. The game features mostly static, barely animated 2D images, the kind of thing you expect to see in browser/flash games. While the artwork itself, while mediocre, might be considered passable, the visual presentation here is negligible, it might as well be a slideshow or a Youtube video. Pac-Man, Space Invaders and Asteroids had more advanced animation and visuals going on than this game does. The controls can't be customised because the game has such a dumbed down, simplified interface that it's just point and click stuff like a browser/Flash game. The fact that the interface is this dumbed down might be seen as a problem in itself, however... this is a fairly shallow experience if you're the kind of gamer that likes to play games with deep, rich control schemes and interaction. You'll get none of that here. For gameplay purposes, because the user interface for this game is mostly just 2D static text/images... it might as well be a web page. It's functionally no different from a browser game. And we all know, Steam isn't here to compete with Chrome and Firefox. If the game can be done in a web browser, it's just not rich or compelling enough to appeal to serious gamers on PC. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. The game never really caught on with the millions of gamers on Steam, with a very low peak player count close to launch, and then just a handful of players launching this game every couple of days. This is undoubtedly caused by factors such as those raised in this review. It's always helpful with buying decisions to consider how popular and successful the product is, and unfortunately while this did accumulate a few participation trophy reviews, overall, people just aren't using it. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Dead Profit is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote]

Von einem Idler/clicker erwartet man farmen/grinden um vorwärts zu kommen. Hier ist das gegenteil der fall.. um casch zu bekommen gehts nach quest-reihe.. egal was du machst es ist "vorgegeben" was du tust.. man kann nicht wie bei anderen "low" grinden um vorwärts zu kommen.. man muss aufgrund vorgegebener quests direkt das neueste machen.. anders bekommt man kein cash für upgrades.. "vielleicht" baut das game vom entwickler auf ein neues system aus aber als einer der 90% der clicker/idler besitzt/gespielt hat die es gibt muss ich sagen das es schon fast in den top10 der ekelhaften gehört.. es hat ein plus weil was neues ist aber diiiiiickes minus weil es nicht tut was es tun sollte als clicker/idler.. daher "no go" und geld rückerstattet... vielleicht gefällt es anderen aber mir nicht...

Its just a fun game its pretty simple right now from what i can see but i'm sure it will get updated and become something great!
