Info about Nomad Idle:

Official game description:
Cut down hordes of enemies **automatically** in **Nomad Idle**, a spin-off of _Nomad Survival_. Engage in an expansive storyline, make impactful decisions, and grow stronger through various gameplay features that gradually unlock as you progress.
**Nomad Idle** is an idle game with a defined end and is not designed to be endless. However, that does not mean the game is short or lacks depth. In **Nomad Idle**, you can expect to have access to the following as you play through the game and unlock more features:
*   **Level up and earn Stat Points** which may be distributed within 7 unique Stats, allowing you to create a build.
*   **Discover, craft, and upgrade Equipment** in order to make yourself stronger.
*   **Conjure Summons** to aid you in battle.
*   **Select Passive Skills to be automatically used in battle**, further defining your build.
*   **Choose a Character,** defining your active abilities and special perks for your playthrough.
**Nomad Idle** is an **idle game**, meaning that it mostly **plays on its own**. Your character moves and attacks enemies all on their own, but it **can be played actively** by making use of character-specific skills and abilities. Playing actively in this way is **entirely optional** and not mandatory, but can be effective in speeding up your progress or help you overcome challenges.

Common complaints:
- Shallow, unengaging gameplay experience (weight 0.77): The game lacks depth and meaningful choices, leading to a shallow and repetitive experience.
