Uses the existing game mechanics, doesn't require too much 'overhauling'.

It makes the game endlessly replayable (If you consider this an advantage) Time becomes an important resource, which by itself introduces an interesting new game mechanics to the game. Like in the PVP games, you and your enemies become stronger independently of each other, but you have the same amount of time, and only your superior gaming skills and strategy will let you outrun, 'outfarm', outperform and win the game. Both the early and the late game can be interesting and challenging. Hard-to-make, often incompatible mods that overhaul almost EVERYTHING to make the game unleveled.Īdvantages: If it's not too extreme, can be successfully used with the other leveling systems.ĭisadvantages: If it's extreme, turns an open-world game into.

You share your progress with your enemies.Īdvantages: The absence of the disadvantages from the previous system, challenging early game.ĭisadvantages: Boring late game. Boring.ĭisadvantages: 'Self-improvement' becomes pointless at some point or even detrimental. Even if in the beginning of the game your enemies are challenging, all you need to do is spend time in the game, and eventually you are going to 'outrun' your opponents. Yes, you stop 'sharing' your progress with your enemies, but is it really a good idea to play a game where you have the most OP advantage: you can get stronger, but your enemies can't? It's like playing a strategy game, where you can develop new technologies, you can improve your cities and armies, you can conquer new territories, but your enemies can't. What's the point of getting experience if it makes your enemies stronger as well? Unleveling the game actually makes things even worse. I hate it when my enemies get stronger as soon as I level-up. The usual enemy scaling is the most annoying feature of the offline single-player games for me.
