Revolution Idle

Steam should really have tag for incremental games. There's "Idler" or "Clicker", where these games can usually be found under, but as the genre has evolved over the years, developers have realized that neither the clicking nor the waiting aspect are really what players desire, although the latter is usually acceptable to a degree. As it happens every so often, I was looking for another such game to sate my "number go up" urge. I ended up on a somewhat less well rated game, Revolution Idle.

This is a pretty standard incremental game. Buy upgrades that keep increasing in price to make your number go up faster. Then reset them to make them go even higher even faster the next run. This prestige mechanic is then stacked on top of itself, so higher levels of prestige reset the gains from lower levels of prestige, but give even more bonuses. There are also some passive bonuses that never reset, mainly from achievements, but even without considering them, the resets aren't something to fret over too much. Prestiging gives enough of a bonus that getting back to where you were usually takes minutes, if not seconds or milliseconds.

Eventually the numbers start going too fast, so you unlock automation options. The ones that buy the lowest level number-go-up generators are fine, if not entirely optimal, but the automations for the different prestige options make it look like the developer doesn't really understand the mathematics behind his own game. Sure, it's one issue that the conditions are a bit simplistic and thus not entirely optimal, but even with the level of simplicity, they're terribly unoptimal and it slightly hurts to see them doing their job so poorly. Losing a few seconds here and there isn't a big thing, but in incremental games, the gains are also incremental, so the inefficiency is quite insane. But manually managing them is also too much work, so that's one thing that really sucks.
The other thing is that this game seems quite familiar to Antimatter Dimensions. I wouldn't say it's a ripoff, but it does give a very similar feel, except just worse. So, this lack of novelty was also something that kind of put me off.

Overall, I played for about 2 days, which isn't little, but it also isn't a lot for an incremental game. It also goes against Steam's rules, by offering to show you in-game ads for extra progress. If you're somehow entirely out of incremental games to play, Revolution Idle is an okay one to play, but there are definitely better ones out there. If you still want something similar, try Antimatter Dimensions first.
