Anspruchslose* Klickerei* oder taktisches Vorgehen?
This is a subtitle for the article, which reviews a fantasy/action video game. The rest of the paragraph then goes on to describe how the players can be controlled. I have this as clicking, but that just doesn't seem to fit. Slang and jargon are acceptable as long as they fit the context (AE only please). Thanks!

German term (edited):
Anspruchslose Klickerei
mindless clicking
Clicking is ok, imo, but I would add 'mindless' to capture the meaining of 'Klickerei'.

senseless clicking
Similar to random, senseless as in:

3. lacking meaning; nonsensical:
However in combination with clicking it could be an unusual word pair. On the other hand this is for a game software so I guess free flow of imagination could be positive!
