The evil wizard, RNG, has stolen all of your hard-earned loot, and hidden it in countless treasure chests! To get it back, you must use your skill at opening treasure chests, to, well... open treasure chests. Open the chest, get loot, and equip it to increase your odds of getting even better loot. Grind until you get the best loot! - Over 1400 pieces of loot to collect! - 7 levels of loot rarity to grind! - Endless chests to open! Amazing Loot Grind is an experiment. The game attempts to strip the loot mechanic of the RPG genre to its bones, while still creating an engaging and enjoyable gameplay experience. Further, Amazing Loot Grind subtly forces players to reexamine what exactly they are doing as they pour hours into the slot machine mechanics that have come to represent the apex gameplay experience of our favorite games. Why play that fantasy MMO or that space shooter/RPG hybrid when you could get the same endgame experience with a few taps on your phone?

Solarclipse Well-Known Member Jul 30, 2012 879 64 28 #5 Solarclipse, Nov 11, 2015 I appreciate the thoughtfulness of the iTunes description. +1 for gaming/social commentary Marlon Bargh Active Member Patreon Silver Apr 7, 2015 29 0 1 #6 Marlon Bargh, Nov 12, 2015 So good! merrickal Well-Known Member Dec 15, 2012 52 0 6 #7 merrickal, Nov 12, 2015 Meh, feels really slow even for a clicker. Not for me thanks. Montanx Well-Known Member Mar 3, 2012 1,110 6 38 San Diego #8 Montanx, Nov 12, 2015 Crikey this game is odd yet somehow engaging. You literally just open A chest and either sell or equip, then Repeat. There are no iap, you can watch an ad every 2 min for better loot bonus. So basically this is just a clicker vessel for ads, which I don't mind. Duivs Well-Known Member Apr 13, 2013 1,762 0 0 Guess what? Classified. Classified. #9 Duivs, Nov 12, 2015 The fact that the word 'grind' is in the name, and the app description even says that I will ponder what I am doing with my life after playong it for some time makes me skip this one. I do however like the experiment part of it! I wonder if this will become big despite lacking 'proper' gameplay... pseudoart Well-Known Member Mar 9, 2013 59 0 0 #10 pseudoart, Nov 12, 2015 Ridiculous. I can't stop clicking that damned chest. 5 stars for addictiviness and 1 for lack of gameplay, averages to 3. Plus one for style. wyzau Well-Known Member Oct 3, 2012 298 1 18 #11 wyzau, Nov 12, 2015 can you use your gold for something? or is it just a sort of scoring? Montanx Well-Known Member Mar 3, 2012 1,110 6 38 San Diego #12 Montanx, Nov 12, 2015 No. Loot, sell/equip repeat, thats it. Im a big fan of the ad based iap vs cash, it truly is an experiment of a game. Jayg2015 Well-Known Member Jan 5, 2015 3,734 41 48 Male Player 1 Liberty city #13 Jayg2015, Nov 12, 2015 Hope one day you can use coins to at least buy different colored chest or make it look better. Just a thought. 4/5 stars . Addictive but lack of anything else. 5 stars if we can spend coins in the future ayuta Well-Known Member Sep 14, 2011 53 1 8 Frankfurt, Germany #14 ayuta, Nov 12, 2015 That moment when you get a peerless and accidentally tap sell. I put down my phone. It's raining outside my window. I lost all track of time while watching the rain falling down. It seems like it's washing away all the pain and agony in the world. Such a very peaceful moment. nosoup4crr Well-Known Member Apr 29, 2011 689 0 0 #15 nosoup4crr, Nov 12, 2015 It's a game of slots. Wrap something in 8-bit, give it some roleplaying trimmings, and earn extra stars. Sorry, the appeal is lost on me. collasta Well-Known Member Mar 16, 2014 88 0 6 #16 collasta, Nov 12, 2015 Last edited: Nov 12, 2015 Sad that it sounds like this doesn't have a hook. I'm going to comparing this to football clicker for a mindless one to tap at while watching videos. Anyone in this thread feel like comparing the two? Edit: hard to compare as this clicker is not speed based. I was expecting that as chests get better they would need more clicks to open but so far it has been one click only. Will post more detailed thoughts after work. Duivs Well-Known Member Apr 13, 2013 1,762 0 0 Guess what? Classified.

Though you could argue that by having achievements there is a goal, and thus a game to play? I'm currently at loot level 6,200 or so, with a full suite of uncommon and above. Lickzy Well-Known Member Patreon Silver Oct 28, 2013 921 3 18 Director of Sales Winnipeg, MB, Canada #19 Lickzy, Nov 13, 2015 No more ads For some reason I cannot watch anymore ads. Every time I click the button to watch an ad, and then click OK, the OK button says WAIT, but no ad runs. Tried restarting device but nothing has changed. Super annoying that I can't max my odds of getting something more rare . Note* - current score 28,544 Collin Well-Known Member Jul 29, 2010 719 46 28 Graphic Designer/Illustrator/Art Director Colorado Springs, CO https://www.theislandsofmisfitcreativity.com/ #20 Collin, Nov 13, 2015 I don't feel this game makes me question what i do with my time in other RPGs that have a loot mechanic, like Borderlands, Skyrim and Fallout. I've spent about 15 minutes with this, and had enough. I can play those other games for hours and hours, and continue to want more. And it's not (just) because of the loot mechanic in those games. That's just icing on their storytelling and exploration filled cakes. This game has successfully stripped away all of the cake, and left the icing. Without that cake, I DO question the point of playing THIS game, and doubt I will ever be returning to it. But then I'm also not willing to sit at a slot machine and plug away at it endlessly hoping for a big win. If you are a person that could do that, watch out. This game could end up being more of a time suck than you want in your life, because it does look good, has pleasing visual and audio feedback when you find a good piece of equipment, and is real easy to click just one more time.
