The gameplay of "You Must Become a Lich" combines an engaging coin-pusher arcade experience with underwhelming RPG/RTS elements, resulting in a disconnect where combat rarely enhances the coin-pushing mechanics. While the game is relaxing and addictive, some mechanics lack clear explanations, and players may find the experience could be similar to autoplay, with minimal interaction required. Overall, it is recommended for fans of coin-pusher games, though it could benefit from more varied levels and clearer mechanics.
“I feel that every stage past 1 could do with these variant levels, as they do have some fun mechanics.”
“100% recommended if you like coin pusher mechanics :)”
“It's a relaxing game that has two real difficult mechanics: keeping others from taking the controller and being able to shut it off.”
“You must become a lich blends an addicting coin-pusher arcade game with some pretty middling RPG/RTS (not really?) mechanics.”
“The coin pusher feeds into the combat mechanic, but the combat mechanic rarely feeds back into the coin pusher in any meaningful way.”
“The one thing I will say is that some of the mechanics aren't really explained.”

The game lacks a narrative, which many players feel detracts from their motivation to progress, leaving them with a sense of aimlessness. While some argue that a deep story isn't necessary, a basic framework could enhance engagement and provide a clearer purpose for gameplay. Overall, the absence of any story is a common point of criticism among users.
“The game has no story, and I don't think it really needs something deep, but at least it would motivate the player to keep pushing forward instead of feeling like you are doing things because 'why not?'”
“The game itself doesn't describe anything and does not have a story.”
“Like I said earlier, the game has no story, but it really should at least have something.”
