The gameplay combines addictive coin-pusher mechanics with underwhelming RPG/RTS elements, resulting in a disjointed experience where combat rarely enhances the coin-pushing aspect. While the game is relaxing and enjoyable for fans of coin pushers, it lacks clear explanations for some mechanics and could benefit from more engaging level designs beyond the initial stages. Overall, it offers a casual experience but may leave players wanting more depth and interaction.
“You must become a lich blends an addicting coin-pusher arcade game with some pretty middling RPG/RTS 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 :)”
“Would be the exact same experience gameplay-wise with autoplay except my fingers wouldn't be as sore, yet that never even becomes an option.”
“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, leaving players feeling unmotivated and directionless as they engage in activities without a clear purpose. While some players believe a deep story isn't necessary, many agree that even a minimal storyline would enhance the experience and encourage continued play.
“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 just 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.”
