About
"It's A Wipe!" is a fantasy guild management simulation game, where you lead a team of players in a strategy-based, single-player role-playing game experience. As a guild leader, you'll need to recruit, keep your group happy, and devise strategies for increasingly difficult battles, while accepting that your group may not always follow your commands to the letter. The game's style is reminiscent of old-school RPGs, offering a unique blend of strategy, management, and RPG combat.

- Gameplay can become repetitive and tedious, with a lack of depth and features that may disappoint players looking for a more complex simulation.

gameplay
42 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is characterized by a mix of familiar dungeon mechanics with unique twists, requiring players to pay close attention to boss mechanics and team optimization. While the initial dungeons are accessible, the overall experience can become repetitive, typical of raiding games, and the steep learning curve may deter some players. Despite its nostalgic appeal and solid core mechanics, the game is criticized for its limited features and need for UI improvements, suggesting potential for a more polished sequel.
“All the dungeon mechanics are kinda close but with some interesting new twists in them.”
“You'll need to pay attention to mechanics and macro-manage your raid as well as micro-manage your raid at the same time.”
“While I've only really just started playing the game, I'm blown away by all the features and immensely fun gameplay, despite my rogues squabbling over gear!”
“For some folks, the gameplay can get a bit repetitive, but that is the nature of raiding-- beating your head against something and forever chasing better gear.”
“It's a wipe is worth the money for the nostalgia factor, but most of the game feels relatively spartan in features or gameplay.”
“Further, the game is quickly over -- there seems to be only 7-8 raids -- and some of the mechanics really need some work, particularly infighting over loot.”
