This is true, but I left out the fact that the mechanics are complicated enough that you actually had some interesting choices to make along the way here. I wrote in my review of the original that leveling up heroes speeds up the monster-killing loop, leveling up ancients speeds up the hero loop, and leveling up outsiders speeds up the ancient loop. And while thereвЂ™s a lot about it that I like better than the original already, in its current form itвЂ™s hard to see how theyвЂ™re going to give it long-term appeal.

ItвЂ™s still in Early Access, and while I donвЂ™t normally play games before they release I finally tried this one out after a recent major update when I was sick and wanted something low-pressure to play. (My complaints about the fact that they needed to explain this is a separate rant.) This prompted me to pre-order Clicker Heroes 2 in support of their philosophy.

The CEO of Playsaurus (the developer/publisher) put up a blog post in November 2017 explaining that Clicker Heroes 2 was a one-time purchase so that it could be a better and more ethical game. Once the game started leaning its design in this direction by adding a social element with daily responsibility, I wrote it off as (mildly) evil.Д«ut the sequel is very specifically and purposefully avoiding this. It does a few interesting things and itвЂ™s a mostly-harmless way to pass a few minutes here and there as long as you donвЂ™t get addicted and let it become a bottomless time-sink - the problem is, itвЂ™s free-to-play with microtransactions, so the developer/publisher is incentivized to try to hook the player. The original Clicker Heroes is one of many idle/incremental games based on a series of concentric gameplay loops that get slower as you go, intended to provide a functionally infinite treadmill of progression. | 0В Comments Clicker Heroes 2 is a very interesting project.
