Novivors

This game is an idler—to a degree. The systems kind of sneak up on you during the first 10 hours, and hitting “Sell All” early without understanding Support abilities and tools (like I did) is definitely a mistake. That said, there’s a surprisingly deep system here when it comes to gearing up and heading out. It delivers the grind you’d expect from an idler, but there’s more going on under the hood than it first appears. After reading some of the other reviews, I’m a little confused. This isn’t a bad game. There are plenty of QoL improvements that could (and probably should) have been implemented, but aside from that, it’s worth picking up on sale. It’s a solid experience—especially if you’re interested in a game that tries to expand the boundaries of its genre.

This game is basically a combination of survivors-like and idle, but there are a few frustrating design decisions that keep it from being great. It's really fun, so it would be great if the dev would make a few (hopefully minor) updates. [olist] [*][b]UI design is frustrating.[/b] Love all of the systems, so many ways to upgrade, but there are serious issues with the UI as mentioned by many other reviews. For example, there is no quick way to lock/unlock items (can do multiple ones at the same time, can't scroll through items, etc.). There is no hotkey to buy on abilities, so you have to (a) click the ability, then click buy, then click the next ability, then go click buy, etc. Would be nice to double click. You can't select multiple items, it's either lock and sell or nothing at all. [*][b]It gets way too laggy way too quick.[/b] I turned off all of the abilities and have a decent computer, but the game lags out very quickly. In the Bestiary battles that are a bit further on, it starts lagging after the 2nd or 3rd wave. You can't even upgrade things while waiting because it's too laggy. I have never seen basically any of the abilities past the ones you unlock around World 3. [*][b]The idle part is frustrating because you lack too much control.[/b] There are 3 modes: Manual (run around and select abilities), Semi-Auto (characters run around, but you select abilities), and Auto (characters run around, and [i]abilities are selected randomly[/i]. The latter part is the biggest problem with Auto mode, because it can make you take some abilities that just do not work with your character or will select a Magic piece of equipment over a legendary. However, you also can't do manual by the end of the game because you have 6 characters and it takes forever to click through. There should be a way to set a priority list for each character where they select the abilities in order (e.g., first physical base, then fire base, then physical %, etc.). You should be able to do the same with equipment (e.g., prefer legendary rings over legendary amulets, all legendary over magical, etc.). [*][b]Equipment can be bricked.[/b] I know this encouages you to get new equipment, but there are innate equipment stats that you cannot change, which is frustrating. There should be a way to reroll it, even if it costs a lot or you have to do a specific level or something. [/olist] All that being said, the progression is fun, but you're mainly just managing inventory. Still, interesting concept, just didn't quite finish baking before it was released and abandoned.

元々はPath of survivorsという名前で売っていたが、スキルツリー要素がPath of Exileに酷似していたために発売禁止になり、スキルツリーを一新してNovivorsという名前で発売したのが本作。 一言でいうなら、放置ゲー＋ヴァンサバ。 放置ゲー準拠の多彩なアップグレードでキャラを強化し、ヴァンサバの戦闘フィールドでステージウェイブをクリアしていく。 ゲームコンセプトはすごく良いし、強化要素も数百円代のゲームにしてはけっこうよく作ってある。 難点があるとすれば、他のレビューにもあるとおり、敵も味方も高火力（防御面が紙）という点か。 特に火力特化しなくても、雑魚は基本１～３発で倒せて、ボスも５秒以内には倒せる。なので毒や炎上などのDoT系やめまいや盲目などの状態異常系が意味をなしてない。 逆に敵の攻撃（ボスキャラは主人公と同じスキル攻撃をランダムでしてくる）を食らうと、キャラの防御面（属性耐性）をちゃんと上げていても１撃～２撃でやられる。ボスの中には、プレイキャラたちの足元に直接スキルを出す者もいるので、そういうボス相手には問答無用で瞬殺される。 この点がもうちょっとバランス調整されていれば、やり込みがいのあるゲームになっていたと思う。 あと、キャラ格差が激しい。 キャラごとに「攻撃範囲＋１００％・スキル持続時間－１００％」というふうに特性がついているが、一部バランス崩壊特性を持つキャラがいる。 それは[spoiler]アサシンの第二形態[/spoiler]。[spoiler]クリティカルするとスキル発動という能力を持っていて、一度でもクリティカルすればスキル発動→発動したスキルがクリティカルしてさらにスキル発動・・・の無限ループになり、画面がアサシンのスキルで埋め尽くされる[/spoiler]。最後の戦績で、他キャラの１００倍くらいのダメージ量をたたき出している。他キャラがいるとかえって邪魔になってしまう（キャラが一人死ぬたびにペナルティでステージのタイムリミットが減る）ので、[spoiler]アサシン[/spoiler]一人だけで出撃するのが最適解になってしまっている。 なお、多少バグがあるのにも関わらず発売後から一切アップデートされていないので、そういう意味でも微妙なのだが、コンセプトは評価していちおうおすすめにしておきます。

Fun Game

It's a pure incremental idler (e.g: numbers go to heaven) in Vampire Survivor style, where you have a team of AI running in the background farming for you. As far as I know up to this point, this is the only VS game that does this.
