The gameplay of "Loot of Baal" offers an engaging blend of idle mechanics and loot hunting, providing players with meaningful decisions around equipment management and build creation. While the initial experience is enjoyable, mid-game reveals a reliance on meta gameplay, and some mechanics feel underdeveloped. Overall, the game is praised for its fun loop and potential for improvement, with players eager for future updates to enhance the experience.
- “Loot of Baal is a distinctive idle action RPG developed and published by Gleamer Studio that merges the satisfying loop of loot hunting with the laid-back mechanics of background progression.”
- “Even though the gameplay unfolds largely on its own, the management of equipment, build creation, and hireling synergy provide constant decisions that make the experience intellectually engaging rather than purely automatic.”
- “A major strength of Loot of Baal is how it integrates idle mechanics without diluting the satisfaction of tangible progress.”
- “It was fun at first, but when you get to mid-game it becomes apparent that you are being shoehorned into meta-style gameplay.”
- “For an idler, it's also relatively short; endgame content can probably be cleared in a few days if you know what you're doing, as most Diablo II mechanics work the same here.”
- “Although there are some lackluster mechanics currently in the game, overall, I am pleased with it and hope to see many updates and improvements as time goes on.”
