  • gameplay
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is initially challenging due to a steep learning curve related to controls and mechanics, which can lead to frustration. While the core mechanics, such as speed boosts and slow motion, are promising, their implementation feels underdeveloped, and the necessity to grind for in-game currency to upgrade them can be tedious. Overall, players appreciate the gameplay and graphics, but the control scheme requires adjustment and can detract from the overall experience.

    • “I like the gameplay and love the graphics, but the controls will take some getting used to.”
    • “The game also has in-game currency which allows you to purchase upgrades for the slow motion and speed boost mechanics.”
    • “The gameplay is really good and well made.”
    • “It takes some time to get used to the entire thing - controls, shop - it took like the first hour of gameplay for me to understand some concepts (like up/down movements are actually speed up/slow down, quests, shop items - what are those items good for, etc).”
    • “Then on top of it all, the controls and control scheme made the gameplay needlessly frustrating.”
    • “Also early on, you are forced to grind for money in order to upgrade your mechanics, which is completely tedious.”
  • stability

    • “The stability issues make it hard to enjoy the game, as it often lags or disconnects.”

    • “The grinding required to progress feels like a chore rather than an engaging part of the game.”
    • “I found the constant need to grind for resources to be frustrating and detracting from the overall experience.”

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model for Evil Cogs includes a free mobile version with microtransactions, allowing players to try the game before deciding to purchase the Steam version, which is free of microtransactions. However, some users suggest avoiding the game unless they are particularly fond of its dark themes.

    • “You can at least get it on mobile and try it out to see if you're willing to pay for it on Steam (and have no microtransactions).”

    • “You can at least get it on mobile and try it out to see if you're willing to pay for it on Steam (and have no microtransactions), but even given that option, I think I would avoid it unless I was a huge fan of pointlessly dark games.”
