  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this clicker game revolves around a character known as the Lumber King, who seeks revenge on trees after a toy car accident. However, players find the narrative simplistic and lacking depth, with many noting that it fails to engage beyond the initial premise of tree destruction. Overall, the plot is considered minimal and serves primarily as a backdrop for the gameplay rather than a compelling story.

    • “It's just another clicker game, with some weird characters and a crazy story.”
    • “The game is an idle clicker; you get your units very quickly early on, and in short, it's a simple clicker with a small story: destroy all trees because they broke your toy.”
    • “Okay, you are some guy called the Lumber King who has something against trees... that's all I got honestly; I wasn't paying attention to the story.”
    • “While this game is pretty fun within its first five minutes, I would not recommend playing beyond an hour, for it lacks any content to drive the player to find a story.”
    • “The game is an idle clicker; you get your units very quickly early on and, to sum it up, it's a simple clicker with a small story: destroy all trees because they broke your toy.”
  • graphics
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have been widely criticized for being low-quality, with many reviewers describing them as lazy and reminiscent of outdated 2D retro pixel art, lacking the polish of contemporary visuals. While some elements, like the trees, are deemed acceptable, overall artwork is considered poor, contributing to a negative perception of the game's visual presentation.

    • “Really crappy, lazy, phoned-in 2D retro pixel 'art' instead of contemporary visuals... even mobile app idlers have better graphics.”
    • “If that's not enough, 'Lumber King' is filled with typos, bugs, poor artwork (at least the trees are okay), and... awful DLC.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “In about 87 minutes of gameplay, I was able to get to zone 25 and have multiple characters hitting critical hits in a row.”
    • “This game has little actual gameplay other than moving in a straight line and cutting down trees... great game where all you do is kill plants... just... amazing (I'm being sarcastic if you couldn't tell).”
    • “Overall, there's a lack of gameplay (most likely even with the $93 DLCs), not fun in any way, and is pitiful even for a free-to-play game, which is hard to do.”
    • “In about 87 minutes of gameplay, I was able to get to zone 25 and have multiple characters hitting crits in a row.”
