  • gameplay
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game is characterized by a poorly balanced mix of active and idle mechanics, leading to a frustrating experience for some players. While it features a rewarding long-term grinding system and a charming blend of retro and modern elements that can be addictive, the execution falls short, detracting from the overall enjoyment. Players appreciate the progression and upgrades, but the gameplay loop lacks the polish needed for a more engaging experience.

    • “Every minute of gameplay, you feel your character getting stronger, gaining new abilities, weapons, and upgrades that make you want to keep going, just a little longer, and then a little longer.”
    • “But the worst part is, this game has one of the most badly implemented balances between active gameplay and idle play that I have ever witnessed in any game.”
    • “Rather than constant clicking or micromanaging, gameplay revolves around sending your character on raids, clicking the next mission, and buying upgrades.”
    • “Little game with idle mechanics and roguelite structure that’s not fast or flashy, but it excels at one thing: rewarding long-term grinding.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a double-edged sword; while it offers rewarding long-term progression, the frequent need for interaction during battles can become tedious. The game's roguelite structure emphasizes grinding to complete increasingly difficult stages, which may appeal to some but can also lead to frustration for those seeking a more dynamic experience.

    • “But the fights themselves are also not long enough that you can really focus on doing anything else during that time, meaning you have to interact with this game at least every few minutes to keep progressing in any way, which gets tedious very quickly.”
    • “The ultimate goal is to complete all stages in a single raid—a feat that requires plenty of grinding, as each new stage ramps up the difficulty.”
    • “Little game with idle mechanics and roguelite structure that’s not fast or flashy, but it excels at one thing: rewarding long-term grinding.”
  • graphics
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's pixelated graphics evoke a nostalgic feel, complemented by a solid art style. While the concept and gameplay loop are appreciated, some users feel the overall execution of the graphics falls short.

    • “The pixelated graphics give the game a nostalgic vibe, while the automated battle system keeps the action flowing without becoming a chore.”
    • “The art style is good, the concept is good, I liked the gameplay loop, but the execution just isn't there.”
    • “The pixelated graphics give the game a nostalgic vibe, but they feel outdated and lack detail.”
    • “The environments are bland and uninspired, making it hard to stay immersed in the game.”
    • “Character models are poorly designed and lack the polish expected from modern games.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game emphasizes a streamlined gameplay experience, focusing on sending characters on raids and progressing through missions rather than engaging in constant clicking or micromanagement. This approach allows players to enjoy the narrative without being bogged down by repetitive tasks.

  • atmosphere

  • replayability
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    *Sidequest Hunters* is praised for its high replayability and enjoyable gameplay, appealing to fans of roguelite and idle RPGs. However, some users feel that additional polish in UI and quality-of-life features could enhance the experience even further.

    • “While a bit more polish from the developers—especially in UI or quality-of-life features—could elevate it further, 'Sidequest Hunters' already offers a highly replayable and enjoyable experience that deserves attention from fans of roguelite and idle RPGs alike.”
