Greetings mechanics and tinkerers!

The robots are idling like: Idle On MMO

Welcome to Idle On, a different kind of MMO. There are many AFK elements  You can make several "slave" characters that idle and collect crafting materials while you sleep. Each character has to complete all the quests on their own as several of them help you to increase carry capacity. You could potentially leave a character farming creatures for exp for a month and return with several levels.

This is the main town. You get basic quests here that get you started. Then you must explore around the world very slowly as each portal tends to have a requirement to open to progress. Enemies become massively stronger every time you cross a portal. 

You can click on the yellow exclamation point to start a quest. The exclamation point will turn green if you completed the quest. Every quest gives great rewards that help you advance faster. There could be thousands of quest to discover in this game.

The hint tab has a lot of things you will discover as you play. If you forget how a mechanic works you can always come back here to refresh yourself.

This whick ref tab gives you a visual link to some of the important items you will use in the game. This is just reference and not really used much.

The card's tab is where you collect random card drops that can be used to upgrade a large number of skills for bonuses once you get more you can upgrdae the cards for better bonuses.

I never got to figure out what the family tab is about. I think it may be either a friends list that may give you bonuses.

This is your friends list. Not much to see here.

Guilds are also in the game but I never got a chance to find one during my time in this game.

Here is the massive map. It appears to be divided into chapater. You can walk along the hardway to get to a new location or you can teleport a limited number of times a day. There's a lot to explore and I hope to return to this game one day when I am not reviewing other games.

Starting off you have only a limited number of stats available. All of these stats stop at lv 100. As you level up or raise skills from resource collecting. There are hundreds of skills you can unlock as you progress further in the game.

You can also learn very secret skills as well. As you can see, I could not find any during the time I played the game.

The last thing I will go over is the menu. You can adjust the volumes here but they seem to reset on a relog. You can click on AFK info to see how many items or experience you will get per hour if you AFK while doing a task.

Overall:

 5 of 5 cogs.

This game is surprising. This is a blend of two games that works fairly well. Though it's an MMO, you can not interact with others that I know of. It may be possible you can group with friends to take on stronger enemies.

Story:

 4 of 5 cogs.

There is a lot of random story in this game. So many NPCs have a lot of things to say to you. Many inside jokes and comedy.

Amount of ads:

 

 None!

Zero ads. No optional ads.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

I've seen many video ads for this game and so far each one has been accurate. There are no shady or silly click bait things to get you to play this game.

Graphics:

 3 of 5 cogs.

The graphis are reminesent of the stick fighter games. Most of the art starts off simple pixel art until you really get into discovering things.

Gameplay:

5 of 5 cogs.

The game play is very limited. You spend a lot of time idling and waiting to collect stuff. You have to manually pick up the items. Even if you return you have to pick up everything from the ground as well.

Free play:

💯%

There are some microtransactions but you can gain everything from playing the game a lot. The game is very generious with the items they give you. Luck also improves your chances of gaining better items.

Fun factor:

💞 Endless Idling.

Match Tile 3D

Greetings mechanics and tinkerers!

Today the mechanical Tunnel Rats bring you: Match Tile 3d

Today's game is a very fast and simple one. There is no title screen for this game and it goes straight into it. This will be a short and sweet blog today. So strap in for the short flight.

The first button at the bottom brings up a lot of microtransactions that are very expensive. You also have only one currency in this game. These coins are only uses to buy temporary one-use power-ups.

The second tab will change once when you join a team. You can request lives once a day if you run out.

The frouth tab is the team tab. This is where you go to join a team to get bonuses or refill hearts.

According to the leaderboard, there are thousands of levels. I don't know how long this game will keep your attention but it is very fast and easy game that anyone can play.

The game starts off with just a hand full of items. You have to match 3 items at a time and you have a limited number spaces. You can have three sets of 2 matches and anytime you can match the third to clear it. If the bar fills up fully you will lose the round and a life. It follows pretty standard hyper-casual mobile games. Sometimes you have to dig out the times by matching stuff on top or using a power-up.

Overall:

 4 of 5 cogs.

This is a game for all ages and a great time to relax. The game will become more complex and a lot of the items have similar colors or shapes. As you keep playing you unlock chests that give you coins for power-ups.

Story:

 0 of 5 cogs.

None.

Amount of ads:

 Too many.

There are many ads. There is a banner ad that always displays at the bottom of the screen. Also everytime you complete a level you get a forced video ad.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

The videos show a simulated hand selecting items at random and not trying to make any matches. As for the google play store, the screenshots matches the game.

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics are simple and cartoony 3D objects. Each object has a gravity physics attached to them and they jumble around as you pick them up.

Gameplay:

 4 of 5 cogs.

This is a very simple and repetitive game. Most people may get bored of this game unless they are dedicated to climbing the leader board.

Free play:

💯%

This game is very feasible to play for free if you are skilled enough. There are many ads that do deter from the play experience.

Fun factor:

😐 Average.

Disgaea RPG

Want to be updated when the next blog goes live? Join my newsletter at: https://tinyletter.com/Hakuzo

Greetings mechanics and tinkerers!

Steam-powered demons fly in to show you: Disgaea RPG

I was able to get in on this game shortly after it left Beta. This game is everything that makes up a Disgaea game but boiled down a bit. The game is streamlined like many mobile games before it. You will see many old faces from the game frenchize and some new varitians of ones you know well. 

In this game you have your own stronghold which you can slightly customize with a new background and music. There are two different currencies. HL which is found in the main series and then gems that are the premium currency, Which is divided into paid and free.

When you summon a unit using the gatcha system you get a full rundown of the units based stats and what the unit looks like. This is pretty standandard RPG stats here so there is no need to go into detail over them. Each monster has a star rating that can be increased with various methods. The number of stars can improve the base stats of the unit and thus makes it even stronger.

There are several gotchas that change out over time and there are some that can only be accessed with Paid crystals and I assume give garunteed better drop rates. From the rolls that I have made if you save up for a 10x roll you can sometimes gain one or two 4 star unit per about every 20 rolls.

The party screen allows you to create 5 different teams and as you progress you unlock more slots via Dark Assymbly. You can use any team you want but you want to try making teams that buff similar units. Each unit has unique evilties that can buff other team memebers.

When you long press on a unit, you can change the equipment of the unit or switch out the skills you can use during battle. You can also use items to raise the weapon levels of the unit. Each unit has a weapon forte that gives them the strongest stats and the best abilities.

From the main menu in facilities or above the unit, you can enter into Mao's lab. Here you will spend your most time. You can reincarnate the max level unit to add 100 levels to the unit. You can combind the exact same unit together to for a N.E. Power up to raise a unit's Eviltie level up for a max of 10 per unit. Note, there are several of the same monster unit that are different colors that can only be upgraded if the colors match. You can not mix colors of the same creature and because of this, it makes it harder to upgrade the unit you want to.

The next point of interest is the shop. Here you can buy more of the premium currency with real money, or you can buy bribe items or equipment with HL. In the equipment menu you have a chance of buying rare items and you can reroll them several times a day.

The hospital is a place where you get prizes for getting hurt but no actual healing happens here. Once a day you can get a random amount of AP to use on the various levels. This also acts as a very odd leaderboard to see who can take the most damage.

The dark assimbly is where you go to increase your AP or do various other upgrades that will help you along with the game. You get only 100 points per day and some of the bills you pass take all 100 points. 

You have daily missions and lifetime missions that you can do to gain a lot of extra goodies.

This is the gateway you will go to find all the story missions along with other levels.  The dark gate allows you to farm for experience and HL, along with items needed for reincarnation.

Here is the screenshot of the Dark gate. Nothing new to explain here.

This is the battle prep screen. You can change your party here with the arrows and you get a list of stage missions you must complete to get 3 stars. You can skip missions you have completed with 3 stars using skip tickets to farm those levels.

When you turn on Auto-battle, all you can do is click on an enemy unit to target it. If auto is turned off then you can choose which attacks to do when the unit reaches the edge of the bar.

The results screen displays to you everything you collect. Each charachter gets experience and if they survive and hit enemy units they get more experience. Any items you pick up also are displayed after.

When you start a battle, you can choose a companion to aid you in battle. You can even request to be friends with those people at the end of the battle.

Overall:

 4 of 5 cogs.

Overall the game is solid but it only offers a slight difference compared to other mobile games of this type. It's not really enough to set the game too far apart from similar games. The experience is still solid but right now there is a lot of events being squeezed in

Story:

 5 of 5 cogs.

This game had a lot of story. Though, there are some minor translation errors that were never caught during beta. Which is sad as NIS is normally good with that.

Amount of ads:

 

None.

There are no ads what so evern and no optional ads.

Accurate Advertising?:

💯%

There was

Graphics:

 5 of 5 cogs.

The graphics follow the same quality of the Disgaea games. 

Gameplay:

 3 of 5 cogs.

The gameplay is very much like any other. I will give it a middle score for the quality of the game.

Free play:

70%

This game is playable for free but to progress quickly you may need to spend some money especially if you wish to get a specific unit.

Fun factor:

😈 Netherworldly satire.
