Super Life (RPG)

While this is a life sim-RPG hybrid type of game, it really just gives me AdVenture Capitalist vibes, because the game gets you addicted to seeing numbers go up. By the end of the game, your net worth is absolutely obscene and that really is the goal in order to achieve a lot of things in the game. There are clicker mini-game parts, so perhaps the dev did have AdVenture Capitalist in mind? There’s definitely a reference to Cookie Clicker. [u]Info[/u] • No character customization. Binary choice of gender. That is it. • Space Blasters arcade mini-game, which is a reference to Space Invaders. Spaceships move about, and your ship needs to go pew-pew-pew at them without getting hit itself. Wave after wave until Game Over. • Super Mario-like mini-game. A couple of times you go into the sewer and it is stylized like Super Mario. Platforming while avoiding enemies and falling to one’s doom. Treasure chest at the end. • As mentioned above, Cookie Clicker reference mini-game. Not much to it other than clicking. (I have no idea what the real game is like; never played it.) • Carnival booth darts mini-game. Throw darts at balloons, targets, and golden ducks to rack up tickets to earn prizes at a fair. (This was my favorite, as it has the right amount of challenge to it.) • Hi-Lo (High Low) card mini-game at various casinos. It’s just as simple as the actual card game. (Too simple, thus, it gets boring quickly.) • Team betting mini-game. Also super simple and boring. Pick a team between two choices. Thus, you have a 50% chance of picking the right one. You win and lose a bunch. There’s no skill to it, just totally random chance. • Controller is only good for moving the character around and interacting with objects. Navigating menus and playing mini-games requires mouse. [u]Praises[/u] • Countless American pop culture references. Some more likable than others. • Truthful representation of American society/economy and its hellscape of unchecked, ruthless capitalism. Jabs at both Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Mockery of Mark Zuckerberg. What was funny and [i]not funny[/i] at the same time was how at every teaching job, its pay is significantly less than it should be, and [i]less[/i] skillful/essential/important jobs pay more. That is very real here in the US and it is disgusting. Got a doctorate? That’s nice, but what’ll really get you rich is becoming a drug dealer (joking, [i]weapons[/i] are definitely what the richest people are selling). • There are a few instances where you get to punch (awful) people in the face. • Watching numbers go up [i]is[/i] addicting. (Is this why rich people get so pissy when they lose even just a tiny fraction of their money? Seeing the number go down makes the dopamine go away?) • You can adopt a dog. • You can rescue a cat for a quest, then feed said cat by visiting his residence. • A cat reality? Uh, not sure how to explain. It’s a place you get teleported to where cats rule the world. Best place in the game, of course. [u]Complaints[/u] • The game was released in 2019, so perhaps the dev wasn’t enlightened enough or too cowardly to include a non-binary gender option, but not having any skin tone options is just ridiculous. A darker-skinned person playing this game is forced to play as light-skinned, like Western society isn’t already catered to white people. • Can’t change keybindings. Thankfully, there is some controller support. I’m left-handed, so that would’ve really been annoying otherwise. • Too many secrets and hidden things. If it weren’t for the wiki and Steam guides, I wouldn’t have ever even came across the vast majority of the stuff that’s hidden in the game because you have to do such obscure things to find them. • Timer doesn’t stop with main menu open. So, if real life is interfering with one’s gaming time, too bad, no way to pause the timer. I hate timed sh!t to begin with. • Cops busting drug dealing. Dude, I’m just going to load the save file, so this is just more pointless tedium. • The playthroughs are a bit too long, repetitive, and tedious for me to want to do ten of them, which there is an achievement for. It’s okay. There is some fun to be had, so it isn’t a negative review, but I feel like it could be balanced a lot better so it’s less tedious/repetitive. Definitely needs more character customization. I recommend it on sale if you’re into this sort of game.

It's a lot like that oldschool stickman RPG from back in the good old Win XP times.. but with better graphics. Yep, get this.

Closest thing we will get to Stick RPG in the modern era of gaming.

How do I sell this to others? It starts out as you would expect, instead of getting older you level up. At level 1 you're in highschool, and you can work part-time at the local sandwich shop. As you level up you go to college to get your associates, and then to university. As you do you also move on to better paying jobs, allowing you to buy your own house, car and amenities. Soon enough you're the richest person in your home town, and you move on to the next city. By this time you've gotten involved in a much bigger story that will lead you around the world, from rescuing an Alien from Area 51, to the quest for the Holy Grail, and on to a distant island where they've brought dinosaurs back to put them in a zoo... And maybe you'll find a use for those pesky Infinity Stones, too.

This game will make you run 12 marathons, eat 249 pizzas and work at a hospital for 632 days so you can help your friend build a teleporter so you can get him some McDonalds big mac sauce

Genuinely no clue where the last 8 hours went but i dont regret it at all

e

i love grinding for 1.9% of people have achievements so i can feel good that i don't go outside!!!

If you are here looking for a Stick RPG 2 style game, this scratches the itch, but only a little bit. Unfortunately, it is not nearly as fun as the SRPG2, which has occasional combat to break up the gameplay, amazing stylized art and music. It is an ok life rpg type game, the art and music is boring and I just had to stop playing after it just felt like I was walking between two areas and clicking a box a million times. Way too grindy for my taste, it's alright for what it is though.

very fun, slow start but when it picks up its good.
