  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay offers around 4 to 5 hours of content, primarily in the main mode, but pacing issues arise due to the need for repetitive early levels to progress. While the prestige mechanic adds depth, its late introduction may frustrate some players. Overall, the game provides decent gameplay for its price, complemented by a weak optional roguelike mode.

    • “For the price, it's not awful and it gives you a few hours of decent gameplay, as well as an optional albeit weak, roguelike mode on top of the main campaign.”
    • “As you play, you gain iron and other gems to level up various game mechanics.”
    • “I wish the prestige mechanic was available earlier, but still a good time; check it out if you like versus and resource collecting games.”
    • “There's perhaps 4 or 5 hours worth of gameplay in the main mode.”
    • “The pacing felt a bit off for me; you have to repeat the first level or two a few too many times to make any progress, and the gameplay itself could have been a little faster at that point.”
    • “For the price, it's not awful and it gives you a few hours of decent gameplay, as well as an optional albeit weak roguelike mode on top of the main campaign.”
  • optimization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is criticized for significant performance issues, particularly in the late game and mid-game, where excessive object generation can lead to severe lag. Players report that the performance deteriorates as the game progresses, especially when engaging in activities that create numerous items, suggesting a need for improvements in handling resource management and object rendering.

    • “(Performance improvements) it would be great if you could improve the performance in the later stages.”
    • “I have a few guesses about what could be performance intensive: when breaking rocks, too many items are being generated.”
    • “Small incremental survivor game, with some balancing and performance issues in the late game.”
    • “Mid-game sparks quickly become completely unplayable as a performance drain.”
    • “Towards the later stages of incremental mode, performance starts to deteriorate significantly.”
  • story
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story mode of Mining Survivors is criticized for its slow pacing and lack of polish, with players completing it in just a few hours. While not entirely negative, the brevity and grindy nature of the narrative detract from the overall experience, leading some to suggest that a focus on the roguelike elements would have been more effective.

    • “I was done with the story in a few hours, so not horrible, but again three hours to complete is not great.”
    • “This would have worked a lot better if they prioritized this as a roguelike, instead of the grindy main story mode.”
    • “The sluggish creep the story mode starts with is not really a problem per se.”
    • “Mining survivors is a not quite polished, slow-paced incremental game with two modes - story and roguelike.”
  • grinding
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious, particularly in the main story mode, which detracts from its potential as a roguelike. While there is a prestige system, it lacks meaningful rewards, leading to repetitive gameplay without significant progression. However, some users appreciate the farming mechanics for spaceships, which add a more engaging element to the grind.

    • “This would have worked a lot better if they prioritized this as a roguelike, instead of the grindy main story mode.”
    • “There is a prestige system to reset and start over, but it doesn't unlock anything new and there's not much point to it; you just have to play the tedious part of the game again.”
    • “Grinding achievements: no”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are described as basic and reminiscent of flash games, which some players find acceptable; however, the overall experience is diminished by the game's short length relative to its price.

    • “The graphics are very basic and lack detail, making the game feel outdated.”
    • “The visuals are underwhelming and do not match the expectations set by the game's marketing.”
    • “While I can tolerate the simplistic graphics, the overall presentation feels cheap and unpolished.”
  • replayability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the game highly replayable due to its variability, which encourages multiple playthroughs. However, some users note that a poor start can negatively impact the experience, potentially affecting overall enjoyment in subsequent runs.

    • “Really a great time! I've beaten the game and am still revisiting due to its replayability!”
    • “The variability is part of what makes it replayable, but you can definitely have a very bad start.”
    • “On the one hand, the variability is part of what makes it replayable, but on the other, you can definitely have a very bad start.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is described as exceptionally entertaining, with users finding it to be "dangerously funny," suggesting that it delivers a high level of comedic value that enhances the overall experience.
