Limitless Survivor

Feels like more than just "Some graphics assets, background music, and portions of the code were created with the assistance of AI-generation tools." Typical "make numbers go up" incremental game, but the increments are small and don't feel too impactful. You do not get the typical dopamine rush of unlocking the next purchase. There is an auto play mode from the start. And while they state "If farming starts to feel like a chore, you can leave it to auto-play and let it handle the grind for you." I could not even go the first 45minutes before feeling like I needed to let auto-play handle the gameplay because it became boring that quickly. The weapons all work the same with the same stats. I'm surprised I'm refunding a 3€ game but I'm just that unsatisfied. TLDR: - Feels very AI - Increments very small - No dopamine from growing your stats - Needs autoplay from the start because it doesn't keep you engaged.

So, before you consider buying this there's something you need to know: this is not an idle game. This is more akin to a programming demo, with some systems added to it that superficially resemble an idle game. There is literally zero decision making in this game, there is zero meaningful "resets" or prestige/ascension. There is literally nothing to think about. You max all the upgrades when you can, and every time you prestige, you just go to the highest floor you have unlocked. There's always a crystal deposit immediately by the spawn, and you get the crystals (with the new prestige modifier) and now you have enough to upgrade to start working on clearing more floors. There is literally zero of anything to think about. Swap weapons after a while to get all the achievements. The game is well made, the polish is there, but it's almost like the developer has never really played a game before, and just kind of used his imagination to make something that he thought people would recognize as a game. No shade at the developer or anything, he's done more than I have for making a game and putting it up there. Honestly this game is bewildering to me, because it's just so absent of any actual real gameplay design. I bought it knowing that. So bizarre was playing the demo that I bought the full game just to see if anything would be different. There is "more" content, that is just entirely ignorable and nothing about the core gameplay "loop" I mentioned above has changed. A very strange.... "game" and I honestly cannot recommend it. A well made program, with some good solid polish it seems. Animations, menus, like, everything is there for this to "look" like a game, but there are literally zero implemented systems that make this more than just going to a spreadsheet, pressing 1 to fill a cell, and then hitting enter to move to the next row and repeating. Very strange "game" but it is what it is. I'm going to keep it running because I'm just curious. Apparently there's a wall at level 25 and I'm at 19 or so, so in a few days I'll probably hit that and uninstall. Do not recommend, unless you're like me and wanted to see what a non-game-game could look like.
