CloverPit was sent to me by the fine people over at Future Friends Games, and I am thankful for that. What I am not grateful for is them sending me what amounts to video game heroin. What I thought was going to be a fun game that allows me to play a little slot machine that cutely cries, “Let’s go gambling!” at the start of each round and requires me to collect virtual money, actually was a sick and demented experiment in dragging myself away from just one more pull of the handle.
See, I truly don’t have a gambling addiction. Every year, I spend around $20 on Eagles or Phillies games across various games throughout both seasons. That is combined, mind you, not each or per game. I have probably spent another $20 on slot machines in my 40 years of life. But this simple game has had me spending hours chasing enough money to prevent my character from falling down this whole, literally crossing my fingers, hoping these damn wheels will stop on diamonds.
When that doesn’t work, I will restart my run, and think the problem was me, I just had the wrong combination of relics to increase my luck or modifiers. Each stage requires you to get enough coins to put in the ATM to save your life; the amount increases each round. Do you pick more spins for more chances at money, or fewer spins for more tickets to buy relics for modifiers? The choice is yours, and if you pick wrong, it may end your run early.
Now, I do need to point out, to be perfectly clear, there is no real gambling involved in this. The game requires no real money outside of the $10 to buy the game. This is by no means anything other than a horror game similar to Blatro and Buckshot Roulette, as they say. Free advice by the way, the game takes place in one room, and it does include a toilet, use it.
The game functions great, looks amazing for what it is, and is a ton of fun. Don’t just take my word for it, over 1800 Steam reviews, and they are very positive. The negative reviews I came across mostly complain that once you find a working strategy, it mostly always works, and that’s honestly a weird complaint. That is how things are supposed to work. The game is a solid 7/10. Best wishes, and may the gaming gods bring you glory.
