Incremental Epic Hero 2

很经典的挂机游戏，以英雄增量成长为卖点

Seeing this game use AI breaks my heart. I started playing this game around 2022-2023 after playing the original game, IEH, on crazy games at school after finding a way to unblock my Chromebook. This led to me looking it up on steam when I got home and finding out about IEH2. I then fell in love with this game. The main thing that drew me towards this game was the art style, something about the cuteness and uniqueness of it was exactly what I needed in my life. This was further reinforced after finding out that all the artwork was made by his daughter which I found to be adorable. I am by no means against the use of AI in a supplementary way. Especially for this game due to the fact that I know that the actual use of AI is miniscule compared to the effort put into it and the amount of non AI artwork and code. But in this case, it feels like my very reason for playing this game was destroyed. But I'm not writing this review to try to steer people away from this game or badmouth the creator for using AI. To be honest, after seeing this game use AI in the banner, I spent most of my day deliberating whether I wanted to make a positive or a negative review and was leaning more towards making this negative (I even changed my mind midway through writing this). But, after learning what the AI was actually used for, it helped me come to terms with my feelings. The AI is only used in this game in a handful of icons unlocked after thousands of hours of playtime, which more than 95% of people that try this game will never get the chance to even glance at (I haven't even unlocked them myself). The only other AI artwork (that I know of) other than the icons, is the one used in the banner. This is where my main problem shows up and one of the reasons why I am writing this review in the first place. I understand wanting a new banner to show off the new update, but with AI being used, it will only give this game a bad rep. So many people are going to see the AI generated banner and immediately think this is some AI slop game and not even give it a chance, completely missing out on the beautiful art style and gameplay present in the rest of the game. I would much prefer just rehashing the old banner by adding some basic text with World Ascension 3 under it. I understand that this is a huge update for the creator as all of the achievements are finally completed and it looks like the game is practically completed. And I get why not doing much to the banner may seem lackluster for the creator and some of the more die-hard fans due to the effort that went in. But, for somebody first finding the game, the banner showing off the new update will mean nothing to them as they will have no idea what WA3 even is. If I had never discovered this game and had found it for the first time today and saw AI being used, I would've immediately given up on it because I wouldn't trust any of the artwork or code thinking that most of it could be AI. What I would recommend is that if you're planning on playing this game but feel like avoiding it due to the AI, I would still recommend giving it a try. Or, if you are so against the use of AI, I would highly recommend playing the original IEH. As while I do think IEH2 is better, IEH is still an amazing game and is in some ways, better than the sequel. This game requires a lot of time and effort to actually get to the point at which AI is being used. I'm hoping that by the time somebody reading this may actually get to that point, the creator would have replaced the artwork with something man-made (fingers crossed).

Кратко - куча задач на затягивание времени в игре. Один вопрос к разрабам - почему игра загружается в несколько раз дольше, чем полноценный шутер песочница 7 day to die?
