    Loot Hero DX is yet another entry in the new onslaught of "clicker" games, although this particular title has a controller scheme. There are a total of nine "levels", which you can ascend an infinite (as far as I know) amount of times. You ascend to the next "difficulty" by slaying the dragon on level nine.

    I'm currently on Difficulty 198, which means that I have slain the dragon 21 times. I found the first 37 Difficulties semi challenging, and after Difficulty 37 the developer got lazy. You have stats to upgrade; attack, crit, defense and speed. You start off with tiers for each stat (the little triangles above the stat on the upgrade screen), but once you hit the fourth tier of each stat, it no longer tiers but instead shows the stats in numbers on the right side of the upgrade screen only. It also appears that your stats are maxed out after purchasing 9 upgrades after the fourth tier, but really you can and MUST keep purchasing stats beyond this point. There's also a bestiary, but it's pretty redundant seeing as there aren't many enemies or bosses.

    The stats aren't the only area that the developer got lazy in. There's actually a coin cap. The developers boast that you get "miners" to farm coins for you when you're not playing the game. This is true, I currently have a crapton of them because you get one each time you slay the dragon. But what good are they? Your gold caps at 99,999, and it's not one of those "soft caps" like in Tap Heroes where it just shows the maximum digits but still gives you the full amount of coins you've earned. Nope, it's 99,999 and if you earn anything over that it just disappears. I was gone to work for roughly 12 hours and when I got home, at the time I had 3 miners, my coins were capped.

    Overall, it gets boring quick. If you want a game like this, just get Tap Heroes. It's way better in every way. I wouldn't even really recommend this title on sale unless you're in it for easy achievements.
