Game Description

A Dark Room creates a roguelike experience within the incremental genre. It starts the game as a very simplistic interface, providing a single button to progress, but quickly integrates multiple resources, building construction, equipment, and more. It is available in both browser and iOS.

Resources
There are a wide range of resources that become available to the player as the game progresses. Notably, wood quickly becomes the most important, as it is required to keep the fire burning and to construct buildings. Other resources that come into player later on include meat for curing (which can then be used to keep the player fed during expeditions), leather, and steel.

Buildings
Huts are just the first building that become available, and will allow the player to receive population to help support the player's campsite. People that have moved into huts can be assigned jobs, from gathering wood to mining for coal. These jobs all produce resources, while some will also consume them. Raw meat, for example, will be consumed when producing cured meat.

Equipment
The player will be given the option of crafting equipment. There is a long list of items available to make, but they include weapons, armor, bags to carry more goods when on an expeditions, water reservoirs to carry more water, and more. These become vital to the progression of the player late game.
Alternatively, some items can be found while out on expeditions. Swords, guns, bullets, and more can be found from either felled enemies or hidden caches.

Expedition
Once the player has received a compass, they will be able to go out on an expedition. While out, the player must maintain enough food and water to ensure that they don't die. Water is consumed once ever step, while cured meat is consumed once every 4.
The player may randomly encounter enemies while outside the safety of the camp. As the player progresses further and further away, the enemies become stronger and faster, meaning that the player must ensure that they have enough skill to defend themselves. This will generally consist of arming themselves with better weapons (such as rifles).
Houses, caves, mines, and more can be found while out. If the player clears a location of enemies and reaches the end, they will generally be rewarded with a cache of items. This can include meat, but may also hold rarer items such as steel swords or grenades. Once the location has been cleared, it may be turned into a safehouse. Once a safehouse has been established, it will populate with a random amount of cured meat for the player to collect while out travelling. A safehouse can only be visited once per trip and will automatically replenish the player's water supplies.
Roads will be made from the safehouse back to the camp. While on roads, the player will not be attacked at all.

RPGAs one of the first RPG incremental clickers, Clickpocalypse fleshes out its gameplay quite a long way. From multiple characters in your party to a massive range of items and enemies, the game provides an in depth, detailed experience.CharactersThere are a range of characters available to choose from. Each of these characters has special abilities or traits that affect how they are played in the game. Each character type has a unique list of equipment that they can use, with varying abilities tied to them.The list of characters is as follows:MousePaladinClericPirateThiefGunslingerLawyerBarbarianRangerWizardWiseguyNinjaLegionaryCheerleaderEffectsCharacter effects modify a number of different aspects about the game. These include some of the following:Increase manual attack damageIncrease the frequency of shop respawnsIncrease experience gainIncrease gold dropsIncrease rare item dropsIncrease rare items in shopIncrease higher level itemsIncrease part damage for a number of secondsIncrease the odds of higher level enemiesInstantly stock the shopMake shop items cheaperReduce enemy defencesIncrease the quantity of items in the shopGain extra items from combatThese effects can be activated individually by clicking their respective titles when they become available. Their effects are generally timed and have a cool down period to prevent spamming them.EventsOccasionally, events will occur during combat. These can include finding chests with a stash of equipment in them, finding mechanical pieces, finding ancient artifacts, encountering a new character, accepting a quest, or entering a boss lair. Each of these comes with their own unique gameplay implications.EquipmentThere is a huge list of equipment available in the game, and each item is tailored to its paired character. For example, the Mouse character may be able to equip a Left Mouse Button, while a thief may equip a Lockpick. This does mean that equipment cannot be shared between characters, though the store and item drops will only provide items that you can use.In addition to the standard equipment, artifacts can be found. Things such as "Ancient Idol" can be collected during gameplay and provide additional permanent effects to the game. These are similar to the character effects above.QuestsThese will appear occasionally and consist of requests such as "Kill 10 Chimeras". Upon completion, the player is rewarded for their efforts and the quest is recorded.

Clicker, Idler, RPGSomewhat strange idle game with basic graphics which is hard to pick up due to absence of any good tutorial. It is somewhat deep with many different options available in the game, be sure to move your mouse to "?" button at the top right to better understand each game screen, as they're otherwise not intuitively understandable. A few more tips:- Auto attack or click for additional damage (you can keep the mouse pressed or space bar).- The Azur Tower has special fighting condition (Path 1 : Auto attack only, Path 2 : Click atk only, Path 3 : Critical dmg only, Path 4 : Double atk only ... etc... the other is either mana dmg based, total monster killed, or other condition).
