Roblox Simulator Games

Simulators are a type of Roblox games (with a concept similar to Cookie Clicker, Adventure Capitalist and/or Adventure Communism), in which it requires the player to click something, etc., to where you are given a certain task, and you must repeat that one task over and over, until you manage to become better enough at it than everyone else in the server. They are criticized for the reasons below.

Why Most Of Them Suck

 * 1) They are the epitome of generic, from the gameplay to the name of the game. Especially what Onett said, the creator of Bee Swarm Simulator, every simulator game is alike, rushed.
 * 2) These games are (or can be) boring and very repetitive. All you have to do in the entire objective of the game is "Click a couple of times, sell, kill, repeat" over, and over, and over again until you're finally better than everyone else in the server.
 * 3) Granted, some games can give you some quests to do, but once you complete all of them, you have to wait.
 * 4) These games are filled to the brim with microtransactions (such as some eggs being purchased with Robux) and gamepasses, making them shovelware.
 * 5) Speaking of the gamepasses, they tend to range to:
 * 6) Doubled currency (either normal one like money, or premium/special currency such as gems, tokens)
 * 7) Pet capacity
 * 8) Special pets or units that either are obtained at an higher rank, or not at all (ex. Tower Defense Simulator's Turret, which is unlocked at a later level, or Bee Swarm Simulator's Bear Bee, which requires the gamepass)
 * 9) Backpacks with infinite storage
 * 10) Weapons that are very strong
 * 11) Doubled stats
 * 12) Being able to hatch three eggs at once
 * 13) Being able to open eggs automatically, until there's no space
 * 14) Faster movement
 * 15) VIP or other ranks
 * 16) Some games also have packs, which can contain pets and/or perks that are removed when purchasing a rank/rebirthing.
 * 17) One infamous example is Ninja Legends's pet packs and island packs, as they respectively give you a very strong limited pet that becomes outdated with each update, and access to all islands, until you purchase a rank. The latter is especially pointless, as there's a gamepass that allows to permanently unlock the islands.
 * 18) Some concepts are a bit tough for kids, like Eating Simulator and Weight Lifting Simulator.
 * 19) Some simulators has special currency that can be difficult to obtain.
 * 20) Clicker Story has tokens, which cannot be obtained outside from defeating bosses. Considering that bosses gains more HP upon death, and that you have a 10 minutes time limit, it's quite hard to progress, unless you upgrade the damage output.
 * 21) In the games that you are allowed to kill each other (such as Weight Lifting Simulator or Eating Simulator) you will often times get camped when you first join by kids who've been just clicking over and over on the servers for five hours, and there is absolutely no way you are able to defend yourself against those players. Even worse, there's the chance that you don't get a safe area.
 * 22) They are impossible to complete normally, as some of these games would require you to play for a month just to get the best gear, and lets not mention the ones where you have to prestige just to continue after gaining hundreds of thousands of in-game currency. Games such as Treasure-Hunting Simulator, Money-Grabbing Simulator and Wood-Chopping Simulator are an example, but there are many more.
 * 23) Some of the simulators either has stuff that are way too expensive at start (requiring a pet), items or areas that doesn't have much power to justify their price or requirements, doesn't give a permanent boost on the server, has weird pricing, has errors with some parts, or requires way much upgraded jumps to reach a point (or even a rank up).
 * 24) A glaring example is Coffee Simulator. To sum up the problems:
 * 25) The coffees, despite beginning to increase in price from island to island, doesn't feel very powerful (unless you get a pet).
 * 26) *It's worth mentioning that Coffee Simulator doesn't have permanent boosts, unlike other simulators that offers that.
 * 27) To be able to get a pet, you're forced to grind a lot, unless you get the pets from the "Teex" and "Guga" codes.
 * 28) *The common pet costing 15k doesn't help either.
 * 29) Instead of being at the start, the group chest is placed in an island that requires the player to get more jumps, which makes no sense.
 * 30) One part to reach the corrupted islands has clouds way too far, requiring you to get the 30th jump.
 * 31) *What's also unfair, is that the developer either placed accidentally or intentionally the 28th jump's price at 8.9 Qn, which is very difficult to obtain without stronger pets and at least an aura.
 * 32) Boxing Simulator doesn't have currency suffixes, which means that the player is left with no clue on how much he has.
 * 33) Gladiator Simulator has some problems as well:
 * 34) The quests doesn't usually work, as reaching the requirement doesn't make them completed (forcing the player to skip)
 * 35) The invisible walls aren't placed well, to the point that It's possible to GO ON THE VIP AREA AND TAKE THE CHEST. 
 * 36) For some reason, the last two islands has framerate issues when going near the eggs that hosts.
 * 37) Somehow, firing your power on a locked area that can be purchased triggers the island purchase selection, which shouldn't be possible.
 * 38) As much as Ninja Legends is a decent game, even that game isn't exempt from the many issues:
 * 39) The Infinity Dojo is a pointless addition. Not only it's locked behind a rank, but by the time you reach it, it's nearly useless to use it, due to the fact that you have better meanings of gaining Ninjitsu.
 * 40) Gems serves little purpose, as the only thing it does is reset your karma.
 * 41) One of the elements that can be mastered, Shadow Charge Element, only has the ability to make your sword swing 25% more faster and to hatch 2 pets per egg. Compared to what the other elements do, it's pointless to get it first.
 * 42) For some reason, the game doesn't mention that it has a x5 global multiplier.
 * 43) They are badly overrated. Usually when a new simulator game comes out, it doesn't usually beat the popular game of the moment (such as Jailbreak, Arsenal, Mad City or Adopt Me).
 * 44) Certain games has areas that requires an amount of stats to even train there.
 * 45) *An example is a meteor in Anime Fighting Simulator, which requires at least 1M on strenght to be able to increase that stat more.
 * 46) Most of these games aren't actual simulators because of how highly unrealistic they are.
 * 47) *An example is Ice Cream Simulator, where eating ice cream makes the ice cream appear.
 * 48) The gameplay tend to be generic, consisting of a player to do one repetitive thing, like clicking, digging, etc.
 * 49) Some people rebirth and troll new players by looking weak, then killing everyone.
 * 50) There is absolutely nothing fun about most of them.
 * 51) Most of them feels the same, and tends to take concepts from other simulators (such as the DNA) or have similar UI.
 * 52) One certain one of these promoted advertising their game to get free pets.
 * 53) After you are leveled up to the maximum, there is either very little or even flat out nothing to do, until the next update (unless you stockpile currency for the next chest/egg/backpack/DNA/weapon).
 * 54) Some of the simulators are just plain weird. It's possible to find weird simulators like "Height Simulator", "Age Simulator", "Soda Drinking Simulator", "Fedora Lifting Simulator", or even a "Divorce Simulator."
 * 55) *YouTuber AlbertsStuff (aka Flamingo) once made fun of this nonsense, by comically making a "Die-of-Thirst Simulator".
 * 56) Some of the simulators are also related to fetishes, such as "Eating Simulator" or "Fart Simulator".
 * 57) These games also promote underage gambling by getting pets, most of which are heavily RNG-based.
 * 58) *While is true that some simulators lists the chance of obtaining the pets, said chances can be extremely low (ex. Tapping Legends's exotic pets, which are placed into a 000.5% chance of obtaining).
 * 59) *Not only that, but some pets are event related, meaning that you cannot obtain them anymore, should said event end.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Some of these games can actually be pretty good like Destruction Simulator, Classic Sonic Simulator, Bee Swarm Simulator, Pilot Traning Flight Simulator, Tower Defense Simulator, and Car Crushers and its sequel.

 * 7) Sometimes, the developers will give a boost of currency for every servers, allowing the players to rank up more quickly.
 * 8) Some games allows you to improve your pets, increasing their efficiency.
 * 9) Most games doesn't remove pets upon rebirthing or ranking up, which can make things more easier.
