Vacuum Warrior - Idle Game

This was a cute little game but the creator keeps adding achievements to make people play it again

Classic abusive game design. Too grindy, and terrible microtransactions which....you guessed it, help to make it less ridiculously grindy.

This game is too grindy. Even for me. At one point, the only way to speed up the game (other than idling) is by getting temporary buffs which also need to be grinded for. Once I saw that, I said I'm done.

This is the perfect representation of a free iddle game. I must accept that the first week I played this, it was VERY addictive and it took a lot of time from my days, lol. But eventually it just gets AWFULLY hard to progress unless you use the in-game transaction. I mean you can still try to do it but it will be a pain in the butt and a long wait. So, it was fun the first 3 days, but then it just got impossibly hard. I would recommend it if it didn't needed in-game transactions.

End game is basically: log in, open chests, upgrade a few things, log off.

Took me ~250 hours to reach the last area and purchase the final vacuum upgrade. Very fun game, especially for free. The end game does drag out a lot for little reward and, like all free to play games, you can purchase microtransactions to speed up your progress but I never felt like I needed to do this. The manager system built into the game is an interesting dynamic that I enjoyed but didn't explore too much due to the primary currency when purchasing managers is microtransaction currency - although you can unlock managers without paying and I nearly had two managers in all locations. I was going to 100% the game but after looking at the achievement list, and with nothing new left for me to unlock in the game, I think I'm happy to wrap the game up now until new areas or vacuums have been added. That being said, this game is definitely worth checking out. It is not a game you focus on, it's a game you leave on in the background. If you like watching numbers go up, this is a game for you.
