Gnaw & Order

[b][i]Cool incremental idle game, a mix of clicker, roguelike and survival. Create a squad of rats and help them survive in a post-apocalyptic world. Equip and upgrade your battle rats.[/i][/b] Gameplay: https://youtu.be/3QbNI5-FkA4 It reminds me of "Idle Champions", but here it is not a full auto-battler, here you need to click on enemies. There is a huge variety of monsters, bosses, rat units, skills and loot. You can change squad members, increase their level, equip them with armor and weapons, improve their skills. This game has a very interesting upgrade system. You can buy, sell, combine things and can install special skills in special slots. If your squad dies, you start the run from the beginning, but you can use the earned points to unlock permanent squad upgrades (unlock additional slots for units and starting active / passive buffs).

I'm the giant rat that makes all of the rules and I think you should purchase this game

Really addictive clicker! I love creating combos with my little rats and watching them blow up enemies really quickly

So far it's pretty fun! The devs are also quick to respond and seem pretty chill.

** DISCLAIMER: While I am not financially tied to this game this review comes with a personal bias in which I think the developers behind this game are great people. With that, I will try to be as honest as possible in my review. ** Summary: A great pickup for its price if you like experimenting with class combinations and min-maxing your damage output engine to see "number go up" while being able to ignore some of the rougher edges with regards to polish and in-game clarity. Review: Gnaw & Order is a rogue-like auto-battler that excels in its replay-ability by exploring interesting systems via rats armed to the teeth with abilities that burst and explode light a fiery wasteland V8 (or V16 after enough upgrades). You start slow and steady learning the mechanics through text explanations and gameplay as you're introduced to all of the available rat classes right out of the gate. Each rat you find can combine with rats of the same class to unlock their next tier that includes an additional skill tree. This essentially gives each rat x 3 skill trees to explore which is around 30 classes to level into. Items will drop that you can equip, sell or combine, and tokens will allow you to open packs that include said items or gear abilities that can eventually combined to improve other abilities. There's even a stock market that you can monitor to sell your equipment at the opportune moment. If that sounds like a lot, that's because it is as these systems can be a tad overwhelming at times. While I found myself greatly enjoying the ability to experiment and uncover synergies, I had many unanswered questions about my damage output, visual clarity regarding the abilities that were triggering and other keywords that were presented via text in abilities. The developers have been able to include clarity over the course of the recent patches, but even after my time playing, there's a lot to be desired there. At times the engine will stop visualizing the abilities that trigger and the numbers flying in front of the enemies can't help you identify what character is doing damage or what those numbers are when things really snowball. This can also greatly hinder someone who is curious and wants to dive deep into the genuinely interesting mechanics and synergies included in Gnaw & Order. Visually, the game plays to it strengths and provides a lot of UI-embedded feedback vs many onscreen animations. The setting is clear and enticing to get you going, but a lot of the creatures of the wasteland and the main rat characters themselves seem very loosely tied together as there is no story to uncover beyond flavor text given at the beginning and the bad guy waiting for you at a later wave (to avoid spoilers). With respect to sound and music design, the bare minimums are there, but unfortunately the soundtrack gets old quickly after a run or two. Audio feedback while navigating menus and during combat are solid. Lastly, I genuinely mean this when I say, this game has so much potential and I would recommend you give a shot if you have $5 and a few hours to kill after work. I found myself addicted to figuring out how to deal as much damage as possible. Whether I'm building my favorite "Money Crit" build with the Entrepreneur, Gambler, and Mechanic or a wacky "Fire + Poison + Drug Addict(!?)" build, I'm still trying to find ways to combine all of these abilities into a perfect storm and watch the enemies' health bars pop like balloons wave after wave. If you can get past the rough edges, the lack of clarity, and trust your guts on how the abilities work, I guarantee you'll have a good time with this game. 8/10

WOW!!! Sleeper build studio does it again!!! They're back with an epic roguelike auto battler set in a post apocalyptic wasteland. Level up your rats to take on enemies and take over the world! I could play Gnaw and Order all day and would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Pretty inventive mechanics in this clicker/roguelike game. I'm not usually a fan of cookie clickers but rat clickers are a whole different genre.

It's alright! Give it a try! Very responsive devs that keep improving this pretty complex little clicker game!
