    The gameplay of the game is a mixed bag, with some players enjoying the blend of active and idle mechanics, while others find it repetitive and lacking depth. Although it offers a polished experience and some engaging elements, many reviewers feel that the gameplay loop becomes dull quickly, with limited customization and minimal new content after initial runs. Overall, it may appeal to fans of the genre, but potential buyers are advised to watch gameplay before purchasing and consider waiting for a sale.

    • “Clicker Arena satisfies that arena auto battler itch with idler mechanics, allowing you to idle to let your gold and experience accumulate, although there's an AFK screen that eventually pops up, and I'm not sure if it halts progress or not.”
    • “It's quite a fun little gem of a game, a sweet middle ground between active and idle gameplay.”
    • “With that being said, the game looks polished and certain mechanics are fun, such as building a team composition, choosing which party members to specialize, and items feeling impactful.”
    • “The couple mechanics the game has don't feel fully thought out.”
    • “Have requested a refund hoping I get it despite the 3-hour playtime; there appears to be almost no new content from the previously released demo, so it definitely doesn't match the description of 'endless customization/evolving gameplay/unique runs.' You will have the entirety of the run experience in your first run; the only additions are slight variations on spell/hero options and some minor meta upgrades.”
    • “Gameplay got dull within the first two hours, which is saying a lot for an idle game.”
  • graphics5 mentions

    • “There are far-reaching goals to pursue on the quest board, enhancing the narrative experience.”

    • “Now the story is that you're a new dad, and more content probably isn't coming.”
    • “There could be a little more story and background.”
  • replayability2 mentions

    Users appreciate the game's concept and visuals, but many feel that its long-term replayability is lacking, suggesting that additional features could enhance the experience. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, it may not offer enough variety for sustained replay.

    • “I love the concept; it would be great to get new features added because visually it really scratches the itch, but in the long term, it's not as replayable as I would like.”
    • “Secondly, the replay value is lacking.”
  • grinding2 mentions

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and overpriced, with many feeling that the draw mechanic detracts from the overall enjoyment rather than enhancing it.

    • “The draw mechanic feels more like a tedious burden than a fun addition to the game.”
  • stability1 mentions

    The game has been criticized for its stability, with users reporting numerous bugs and a clunky experience, suggesting a lack of polish that may indicate inexperience from the developers.

    • “The game crashes frequently, making it nearly unplayable at times.”
    • “There are constant frame drops and glitches that ruin the overall experience.”
  • humor1 mentions

    The humor in the game is often derived from its unexpected abruptness, particularly the sudden content cliff that players encounter around the two-hour mark, which some find amusingly indicative of a design aimed at just evading Steam's refund policy.

    • “I can't say for certain the game was designed to be engaging just long enough to defeat Steam's refund window, but the conspicuously abrupt content cliff you hit around the 2-hour mark is kind of hilarious.”
