The gameplay of 'Lord of the Click' is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking depth, as it focuses solely on repetitive clicking without any meaningful progression or additional mechanics typically found in clicker games. Players find the experience limited, with minimal content and a reliance on external tools like autoclickers to achieve any progress.
“Clicker games use clicking as an additional mechanic in a game, normally with other features like upgrades to the clicking, auto-clicking, DPS, DPS upgrades, prestiging, and more to add depth, which allows for steady progression towards making yourself stronger and unlocking more features.”
“There is more content in the graphics than the actual gameplay.”
“Two dollars for two hours of gameplay that are impossible without the aid of an autoclicker.”
“'Lord of the Click' has no progression, has none of those mechanics, and is solely centered around clicking on a building.”
