Pay 2 Win: The World is Mine

Fun game, great voice acting, and a funny story. However, it gets stuck at a certain point where there's not much left to do. The cards you get from packs are usually the same as the latest pack you obtained. For example, if you choose Annie, about 80% of the cards you receive will be Annie cards. This makes it difficult to change your strategy later, since you're basically locked into a magic-focused build from that point on. This is my recommendation: the most enjoyable part of this game is being able to adjust my strategy whenever I get stuck. If the game forces players into a specific path, either directly or indirectly, it becomes boring very quickly. Since it's an incremental game, there isn't much else to do, so having the freedom to experiment with different tactics is what keeps it interesting. The unlocking floor plan system is actually one of the game's weaker features. I unlocked certain floor plans because they fit my strategy at the time, but later, when I obtained new facilities and wanted to change my layout, I couldn't. The new facilities couldn't connect properly with my existing floor plan, which forced me to keep using the same setup. A feature that allows players to sell, remove, or rebuild floor plans would greatly improve the game. It would give players the flexibility to adapt their strategy as they unlock new facilities instead of being permanently locked into earlier decisions.

Granted I haven't finished a run yet but for an incremental game where the focus on combos and structuring your facilities to get the best set up, it really hits a complete content wall block. From the start you progress quick enough where you are able to keep buying packs to get new units and also the skill tree with +1% nothings but when you run out and your luck is bad enough to give you units that don't stack well enough there's not much you can do other than just go to bed with your pc on. Most of the facilities I received are under the May section which is supposed to be idle which is fine but in my playthrough I only have gotten 2 annies to show up and even then they couldn't slot in to make a dent in the money objective. It wouldn't be that much of an issue but with the gameplay almost completely halted this is where I would've had the chance to prestige or do something else gameplay related to pick up the pace again to regain my interest.

you place facilities on a grid to make your game studio produce money. most facilities don't directly produce money, but instead give buffs and power up adjacent facilities. the game is a puzzle to find and arrange facilities that work well together and make money as fast as possible. it's a bit like backpack battles, but without the pvp. you're accompanied by two anime girls - annie and may (very subtle.) may from accounting is focused on profitability, has a gambling problem, and recognizes that you can't make good games if your studio goes bankrupt. annie is a gaming boomer (somewhat disdainful of the modern state of gaming) and also a witch who's become a company VIP with their magic powers and elite gaming skills. they both have the same goal (make the studio succeed) but have opposing views on how it should be done, and their interactions are pretty entertaining and well written for an incremental game. you can auto-skip story dialogue and the game even asks on first play if you want to do so, but i'd recommend not skipping it. you level up as you earn money, giving you star coins which can be used to randomly pull a new facility or make progress on the skill tree. the gacha is quite fair - you can never pull a duplicate facility (except for facilities that allow more than one to be placed) and can pick from three options when you pull, but the star coin cost can be painful at times and there is a constant pressure of choosing whether to risk star coins on a pull or save them up to buy skill tree upgrades instead. facilities can be neutral or aligned with annie/may: annie facilities are about active play, stacking buffs and making big plays when your buffs are all synced up and active. may facilities are about idling, accumulating raw earning power, and gambling. you start off with eight neutral facilities and more facilities have to be unlocked via the skill tree. the order in which they're unlocked is also randomized - there are 11 packs of 6-9 facilities and you get one at random when you purchase a pack unlock. it can feel bad if you're focused on annie facilities, spend a bunch of coins to unlock a pack, and end up getting a pack with all may facilities or neutral facilities that don't help your build. it's possible to just hit nothing but bad outcomes when you're spending your star coins or spend your coins inefficiently and then feel stuck because the money requirements for more star coins keep scaling up but your money production hasn't. the game tries to protect you from this by periodically resetting missions that award star coins (i thought it was a glitch at first as there seems to be no indication that these missions are supposed to reset, and saving/reloading the game seems to make the reset happen faster). but that does mean you will sometimes have to just sit through a bad time, with no meaningful actions you can take, and wait for your handout of star coins. or close the game and come back to it later. if you're looking to actively play through the game and not idle through it, there's a small risk of playing yourself into a dead end or having the game just randomly force you into idle. aside from star coins, there's also the money that your studio is earning. this money is used to upgrade your facilities, reroll their links (placing facilities so that they're linked gives you an income multiplier), and expand your grid - you start off with just a 1x1 square and have to purchase more squares. i often found myself wanting to redo my layout but also feeling like the game was discouraging me from experimenting because my grid restricts where i can place facilities and now i'd have to spend a lot of money to reroll links (the cost scales up and it's almost always a significant amount of money). i get that there should be things you need to spend money on, but i also have to wonder if the game would just be more fun if you just started with the full 7x7 grid and had cheap link rerolls. the game is rather short, but there are multiple endings depending on which girl you side with. each ending also gives you a special facility which will carry over to new game+. new game+ resets everything, unlocks more of the skill tree, and gives you a special new game+ facility (the tesseract) plus all the ending facilities you've ever earned. this is enough of a power boost to make new game+ much smoother than your first playthrough. overall i've enjoyed my time with the game. the game could use a bit more polish but i've seen the developer be very active at taking and implementing feedback, so this will probably improve in the future.

After 2 hours the combo part was done. Let it simmer 3-4 more hours without touching and the game is suddenly over.

一个有着许多不同的流派打法的增量游戏，同流派组合可以质变，虽然刷连接点有点难受，但目前体验还是挺不错的。但是英语太烂玩的很累，如果有机会的话，希望可以加上中文翻译:) This is an incremental idle game featuring numerous distinct build archetypes; combining builds from the same archetype brings transformative power spikes. Farming connection nodes can get tedious, yet overall the gameplay is enjoyable so far. That said, my limited English makes playing quite draining, so I hope official Chinese translation will be added sometime down the line:)

Pay 2 Win: The World Is Mine is entertaining for the first couple of hours, but it falls apart quickly after that. By around the 3 hour mark, the game is essentially over, with no more content left to explore. The big skill tree is probably the most disappointing part. It looks impressive on paper and gives the impression of depth and long playtime, but in practice it is just a facade. There is nowhere near as much actual content behind it as the size of the tree suggests. In short: fun start, but the game does not deliver on what it promises, and you will have seen everything long before you feel like you are actually done.

Juste excellent, que se soit la partie incremental qui est plus longue que la plupart de ce genre de petits jeux (6-12h pour une première partie), l'aspect roguelike (on débloque les item aléatoirement après avoir aléatoirement débloqué un pack/theme, qui sont tous bien capable de synergisé ensemble) ou les petites missions et moments de narrations qui rythme l'aventure. Il y a quelque petits bugs et choses pas bien expliqué, mais rien qu'un retour au menu ou un peu d'attention ne fixe pas. Annie best girl btw

Great incremental game with nice idea, good execution and nice story. It is something little different than standard incremental games today, but that makes it even better, it works like a charm, beautifully done.

It doesnt feel good. Its more of an afk game. I was expecting more active play.

this game is great, if you like other games like it. this would be no ones jumping off point, thats for certain. other than that, i think the humor is really good, its fun, meta, absurd, every other buzzword to describe comedy now
