If you've ever thought to yourself "hey self, I've got about 100 hours of free time that I'd love to have just disappear without being 100% sure how it happened" this is definitely the game for you. Somehow this game manages to be one of the most addicting games I've played, maybe ever, but yet at no point do I feel like my time was wasted. I never got that crappy feeling you might get from time sunk into some gimmicky GATCHA game or "just one more turn" Civ clone. With Cauldron I just genuinely wanted to keep playing this game. I've now gotten all of the achievements (I thing I almost never do) and I still really want to play more. I probably will keep playing. I will also, without hesitation, buy whatever next game this guy puts out immediately. I hope it's Cauldron 2 or some Cauldron DLC but even if not I'll trust him to make another great game. In a year that has had some really great games already, this one might end up as my GOTY.

This game is very charming and the mini games are very addicting. I personally love the mine cart mini game which is almost like Vampire Survivors. There is a lot of love that the dev put into this game and its super cute and charming! I didnt realize that collecting apples was so demanding!

It's a solid game with the following strenghts: 1. Minigames that change in nature as you progress. 2. Combined main/mini-game progression. 3. Witty dialogue. 4. Idle and strategy elements. 5. Challenging at different levels (more difficult the more completion you aim at). 6. Clear achievement hunting. 7. Light and charming story. If these are elements that you enjoy, there's a good chance that you'll enjoy this game.

Honestly just a game that delivers on what it's supposed to be. The combat is fun, the incremental aspect of the minigames is fun, the different gamemodes didn't feel like a chore and most delivered a unique spin that felt worthwhile. No complaints

One of the best incrementals I've ever played. Great music, several mini-games that snowball delightfully, and even an interesting story with a few surprises. Auto-battle + auto-play for mini-games keeps things comfortable so it never felt like I had to grind. Works flawlessly on Linux via Proton.

this game is really good, it just seems like minigames and fights mixed with a incremental style, and you would be right, but the characters are well-made, the story is great, tons of game modes, and its just overall fun :D (PS: bleed OP)

I didn’t complete the game because it becomes too boring. TL;DR: quantity over quality and the game overstays its welcome. Good: -The towns puzzles are good. They use minigames. The first town doesn't use minigame and its puzzle is finding people that tried to blend into surroundings. They are scattered across the map. In town you have tips about what they look like . In one town you can fish people out in fish minigame and you have different abilities in puzzle levels. Another one is mining minigame puzzle. Where you can try to dig up people. You have limited moves and abilities scattered across the map. -You can bribe enemies and you don’t have to fight them. -The game looks good Mixed: -Apple collecting minigame was bad at the start but after time it becomes the best minigame in the game. At the start you are limited by time but after upgrading your ghost to have basket that becomes bottom of the minigame and other upgrades, it becomes bullet hell that checks your hp and dmg. If you don’t have enough dmg or hp you die and have to upgrade your skills. -Bribing becomes too expensive later -the turn-based combat in the game is more like puzzle -The story is 6/10 Bad: -at some point when unlocking new heroes it looks like developer gave up with them and made a lot of them one element for example : one is fire the other is lightning and so on. Elemental ones also look almost the same with minor differences. -the turn based combat in the game is boring -fishing minigame is bad and boring -Mining minigame is very limited. You can dig to the bottom, and nothing happens. The only thing at the bottom you can do after mining is restarting the minigame -Vampire Survivor is boring. You collect the best characters on map and if you have enough dps you destroy the gate and go to the next level otherwise you die and have to upgrade after upgrading you repeat the whole process. There are no bosses, the only objective is destroying the gate. -Idle only works if you are in the game

I'm going to be real with you. This game is like almost good. The fishing minigame is just so bad an unfun and time consuming compared to the others it basically singlehandedly ruins progression. Game clearly is a labor of love though. It gets way too grindy towards the end though and genuinely it overstays its welcome. If you want to waste time though its not bad on sale.

Cauldron features 5 minigames that evolve as you play, making it very easy to continue playing. While it is an idle game in the end, your resource generation is tied to your performance in these games. This provides incentive to continuously aim for ever higher scores rather than simply waiting for bars to fill. The game also features turn based combat that I had very little interest in. Thankfully, there is an auto-battle option in which your party will act according to behaviours you define outside of combat. While the core of each minigame is similar to those you'll find elsewhere, they do have their own twists. For example, the attacks in the horde survival game resemble those found in Vampire Survivors, but the weapon that rotates around the player has durability and will shatter, enemies will merge to become both stronger and more valuable, there is an exit you need to find for bonuses, and you acquire weapons by picking up party members scattered across the map rather than just by collecting gems. There are little differences, but it still plays like many other modern horde survival games. At least it does until you unlock the "blorbs" in the post-game at which point the focus of the game becomes all about getting the most value out of your blorbs. Even before you get to the post-game there are upgrades that completely change how the minigames work which keeps them fresh and exciting. Halfway through the main game you will unlock a set of challenge modes such as one where you don't fight and must bribe your way past every enemy. Every time you clear a new mode you will unlock a new modifier for every minigame. All of these allow you to accrue points faster making subsequent playthroughs go smoother. Some completely change how the game is played which helps keep things from getting stale. If you do get tired of the minigames, this is an idle game so you can rely on passive income and the less than ideal scores from an unlockable auto-mode. Cauldron does have a story, but it's definitely not the focus of the game and isn't especially compelling. Most of what little dialogue is there leans into humour. It does have some pretty decent jokes, but not enough to be main selling point. Cauldron is an idle game with some really fun minigames that will keep you from actually being idle. It doesn't have a ton of content, but what is there grows as you progress which not only keeps it from getting stale but also makes it exciting to keep going and see what you can do with the new upgrades. The game doesn't have much to offer for those seeking a strong narrative, but I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fun little time wasters.
