CLICKPOCALYPSE II
My god. As someone who loves old-school isometric RPGs: CLICKPOCALYPSE II is amazing. The download is tiny, the game runs on a literal potato, and it’s engaging in that way where you really care about what your party is doing.
Right now, I’m watching my party comprised on a Pyro, a Priest, a Rogue, and a Ranger blast their way through hordes of what seem to be giant bats, while every so often I can jump in to make sure they’re all using the best upgrades they’ve unlocked along the way. Wait. “Right now”? I meant when I was playing at home and totally not on the clock.
Since firing it up, my average button press rate is once every five-ten minutes, and that was just to ensure the party was upgraded. They’ve been pretty happily destroying every dungeon they’ve come across since starting, so I’m not 100% sure that they can die, but perhaps that’s a good thing.
CLICKPOCALYPSE II really is idle gameplay, whereas some of the other games I tested that didn’t make it on the list were a bit too click heavy, but CLICKPOCALYPSE II really has that aspect of the gameplay figured out.
One critique? The music is pretty full on, but since you’ll probably have it off at work anyway, then you shouldn’t have any problem there. I’m also a big fan of multiplayer games, but I’ll let this one slide for now, since it takes me back to Diablo.
