What do you mean it's been 1.5 months, and all we get is a review of some free incremental game by the name of Space / Mech / Pilot? It's not even a good incremental game, and all it has going for it is the big-eyed cat-eared person you occasionally get to hear a few lines of dialogue from?
So, excuses upfront, I've been playing other, bigger games lately (will write about those later), and haven't had the time to continue with my usual list of games. However, I saw this short and free incremental game on Steam the other day and figured it was a nice distraction to let it idle in the background while I was doing other stuff.
There's really nothing special to say about the game. As far as incremental games go, this one's pretty subpar by today's standards. They dragged me (and seemingly many other people) in with images of the cute cat person you get to talk to. I figured it would be more of a narrative-based incremenetal game (always looking forward to people combining the incremental genre with other genres, I really think there's good things to be found there), but our friend Kato shows up so rarely that I'm not sure if I even got 10 minutes of dialogue in all. On top of that, the story was pretty meh, and I got the odd feeling it was trying to push some real-world agenda in a roundabout way. Regardless, I didn't like it.
So yeah, a quick review of a quick free game I completed by letting it idle in the background for a day. The art is cute, but that's about where the positives end. It dilutes the "this character is real" trope, and doesn't even have music outside of the short dialogue scenes. The gameplay's even worse. So, yeah, don't play this. I'll be back with some other games in the coming weeks, but I feel there's been a lot of good stuff coming out lately, so there shouldn't be a drought of things to play.
