My life as an Archeologist

Here we go again, Buddy

So, as with (m)any roguelites, you'll start from scratch, kill a bunch of monsters, die in the process and earn a currency that unlocks permanent boons. I found myself getting less and less motivated to get through the levels again because it feels very samey at some point. There are 100 levels, on paper, but there are in fact only 10 stages with different biomes and enemies. This is totally fine, especially for the low asking price. Still, adding the sometimes not-so engaging music into this mix didn't help to keep me motivated. Until I unlocked said option I mentioned in the introduction.

Suddenly, the game flows. I mean, twice as fast obviously, but it also autoclicks for you. That means you can focus even more on the rest of your run, which is all about getting good equip, finding special artefacts, assign stats and skill points. Depending on the skill tree you've chosen, there are additional special actions to perform, which, with the help of certain artefacts, skills and also unlocks can be set to auto-cast, which is a very handy tool. It's stuff like heal, more autoclicks etc. Basically something you would also expect in a regular idle clicker. 

It's fun

The game is pretty lighthearted; I like the sense of humour and self-awareness. There is a big collection of different artefacts and every now and then, instead of finding equipment, you get to choose from different tarot cards. These often offer some nice improvements and spice up the randomness of every run. The artstyle is very cute and fits the overall tone as well. The music was either hit or miss for me but that comes down to personal preference of hearing chiptunes in a loop.
