Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
It’s not going through the same 99 walls five times, it’s more like going through ~500 different walls with a break every 99 to get some story content and level up.
62 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
Journey to Incrementalia is a thoughtfully designed incremental RPG that blends idle-style progression with active decision-making, resulting in an experience that feels far more involved than a typical clicker while still embracing the satisfying rhythm of numbers steadily climbing.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Visually, the game adopts a minimalist pixel-art style that prioritizes readability and function over spectacle.
24 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
The music isn't actually that bad but the design for it makes it very annoying and I ended up playing about more than half the game on mute, this is why they say music design is just as important as the score itself, a repeating generic track that on its own may sound good but for an over 5 hour game with the same song repeating can drive anyone insane
9 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
What begins as a simple loop of summoning minions and dealing damage gradually expands into a surprisingly deep system of optimization, experimentation, and long-term planning.
