GUG

I've played quite a bit of the demo and now I've transitioned to the first official release. Honestly, this game does NOT hold your hand. Yes, you can do whatever you want, and you can generate (or attempt to) whatever broken mechanic comes to mind. But guess what? The game knows this. And has the full intention to crack your skull. The full experience feels like a mix between an unusual puzzle and a exploration/walking simulator. And it's merciless. You. Will. Die. A lot. However, after a while, you start noticing the patterns. You learn the thresholds for death/survival, you learn how to better use your HP, your units, your gold, your buffs as the resources they are. Once you get that down, you learn your own limits. And here comes the fun part - you can freely break them. Just think of a way to force the game to generate you something that overcomes that what stops you from progressing. And voilá! You're progressing! Aaand you're dead again. Anyway. Let's try one more time ...

A lot of the abilities don't work as the descriptions indicate. Such as enemies taking damage upon entering battle. Or enemies nullifying your Atk to 0 every round when it's only supposed to be the first round. Needs a few important fixes before this is really a "buyable" game.

One of the coolest experiences I've ever had with AI generated content in a game. It's used in a way that's actually tasteful and leads to some of the most interesting gameplay if you're creative enough in your prompts, but can also be utterly broken. The AI isn't perfect and frequently creates passive effects on Gugs that have bugs and that's to be expected, though I do wish it happened less frequently. I feel like this isn't a problem that the developers can easily solve as much as it is a problem for LLM researchers, though. Overall, it's genuinely the most clever, well implemented uses of an LLM I've ever seen. The only lame part is the image generation as it creates Gugs that frequently look too similar to each other with no special features relating to their description. I feel like it's a bit misleading that this game isn't considered early access as AI or not, the game itself lacks polish and has a buggy UI and I do hope the devs iron that out. There's also some parts of the menu that say [come back soon] that also denote the game being unfinished as of yet. A tip towards anyone wanting to get into playing this but have a hard time generating Gugs that aren't terrible: The AI doesn't have a great concept of balance and it seems the devs have weighted it to trying to make Gugs that aren't too powerful. If you prompt something as boring as soldier or killer you won't get many spectacular results. If you prompt it with words that belong to certain game mechanics, though... that's where things get crazy. You can for example use the phrase "enemy battlefield nuke" and it'll create a Gug that nukes ALL enemy Gugs on their battlefield. On the other hand, if you just say "battlefield nuke", the monkey's paw might curl and it will create a Gug that nukes your side, too. EDIT: The game is definitely WAY too buggy not to be early access. The UI bugs so much sometimes you can't even start the game. There's just a lot of bugs in general that have nothing to do with AI and it's kind of a shame that they released it as a "full game" as is. in the few hours I've played as of this review there were so many bugs that prevented me from even properly starting runs. I still recommend this if you wanna get a few hours of fun for a cheap novelty and you might even get hundreds of hours but I can't call this a complete or even remotely polished experience.

trash ai slop, used to be a good idea during beta, but somehow the release is ridiculously bad. Unoptimized and laggy, no meaningful content, bad ui, etc.

it sounds a lot more interesting than it is

For it's cheap price you can fight with: immortal gugs insta-killing gugs And the Mightiest of them all: A gug that prevents all enemy gugs to enter the battle! you don't have to fight them if they can't even join. You got to think outside the box to make your Gugs!

Does not work as intended

o jogo é bem, interessante, poderia ter uma versão em portugues tambem, seria bem legal

A demo do jogo era infinitamente melhor. Sinceramente, se tivessem focado em melhorar os sistemas da demo ao invés de mudar o jogo seria bem mais divertido de jogar. Não tive saco de jogar 10 minutos do jogo

estava animada para jogar entretanto depois de 15 minutos jogando o jogo se fechou sozinho e agora quando inicio o jogo ele fica preso na tela de carregamento
