  7.0

  My hope is that the storyline payoff is to the same effect as My Organic Garden, which was significantly more taxing as it was literally just a clicker. This is a truly randomized dungeon crawler with low stakes and low gains, good presentation but barebones gameplay, and appeals mostly to those who love Japanese indie titles. Approach with caution, but don’t be surprised if you find it to be a great pick-up-and-play title for every once in a while.

  6.0

  The Sealed Ampoule presents itself as a “Dungeon agriculturalization Rogue-like” game. While the ideas necessary for a rogue-like are offered, some strange deviances from the norm make the gameplay feel less polished than the clean, simple genre usually provides. Some aspects, such as the UI confusion and distraction, nag at the otherwise tidy menu aesthetic.

  8.0

  It has the acceleration of an idle clicker, and the moreishness of a roguelike, and the combination is an addiction cocktail that is hard to shake. There is a nagging sense that The Sealed Ampoule should be offering more in return – more story, moments or character upgrades to leaven the repetition – but, by golly, once you pop a dungeon, you really can’t stop.
