105 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay of the game is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and frustrating design choices. While many players appreciate the depth and variety of systems available, they often criticize the confusing user interface, repetitive tasks, and the presence of pay-to-win elements that detract from the overall experience. Despite these issues, some find the idle mechanics enjoyable and addictive, making it a suitable choice for fans of the genre who appreciate a grind-focused gameplay loop.
“With its relaxing gameplay, deep progression system, and constant updates, Idle Skilling offers an enjoyable and addictive experience that is hard to put down.”
“The game's controls are responsive and intuitive, and the gameplay mechanics are well-balanced, allowing for a seamless and enjoyable experience.”
“Gameplay: 10/10 - it's addictive, with multiple skills having many unlocks to find and earn, the game will keep you playing for years to top everything out.”
“I was invested quite a bit and then I realized one of the mechanics (crusades) constantly looped and didn't let me interact.”
“The worst thing about it is the goddamn UI; this game is just a bunch of click boxes and menus with numbers placed haphazardly around the screen that are tied to confusing mechanics with text descriptions that often deviate from the actual mechanics of the game, e.g., away progress being more like 30%-35%.”
“The lack of depth and variety in the gameplay becomes apparent over time, and the repetitive nature of watching numbers increase can lose its appeal quickly.”
