I REALLY want to leave a higher rating, but I cannot for the life of me because of how bad the actual gameplay is. Most of the game has inherent, fundamental flaws in its game design almost like it's designed to be as frustrating and tedious as possible for the player to slog through. I must be missing something because this is not a fun game in the slightest.
UI Screens
UI Screens
- This is where most of the issues lie. since this is a UI simulator. The amount of extra clicks you have to do to play the game is an absolute chore to play.
- The process of having to click the reset button every single time for any edits is mildly annoying at worst. Give the option to just click once to make a character occupy an empty slot or let the player be able to drag and drop on an already existing character.
- There are many screens (hire villains, create device) where it doesn't show how much money you have when trying to spend.
- The main screen over the city should have the names of the locations already on the screen, or at least highlighted to make them distinguishable, none of which is in the game. You eventually learn over time where everything is, but the fact that it's not already distinguishable is baffling game design.
- You cannot replace a character slot for anything if there's already someone there. You have to click reset every time which gets annoying.
- You have to click confirm first to see the success percentage of an operation (heists, capture, etc). Just add it to the actual screen to reduce unnecessary clicks.
- In order to see what you get for upgrading a facility you have to actually upgrade it first. Bold decision.
- Villain hire is a nightmare and repetitive for no reason. With how much you need to hire villains to do anything, give me a better and more accessible menu to recruit them from, or at least reduce the amount of clicks if I want to hire 2 or more villains at once.
- Why do I have to reset a character's progress if I want to put them back into business? Idk
- The gallery is just bad and needs more options, at least the option with text.
