Joshua Knoll

One of my favorite idle games I've played. It has an interesting storyline and mechanics that grow as you move through it. The upfront cost is well worth it compared to most that are thinly veiled ad watching simulators. It also doesn't try to be eternal, which is refreshing in this space. If you really want it to be, the options are there, but concluding it after one playthrough was satisfying for me.

Its honestly just a good game in many ways. You can play it periodically, for extended sittings, etc. The game is adapted to be played at the user's convenience to a degree, meaning you're not penalized for not playing, you get offline stuff, and it's not overly complicated. The game can be played in a few different ways, and its fun to come back to, meaning you can try new strategies. You start over, but you keep certain quest rewards and you're rewarded with modifiers for all future runs.

Don't sleep on this title. You've probably played games where you restart over and over again, but you haven't played a game that handles it this way. You don't just restart to get faster ad nauseam until you get bored. There's a point to the whole thing. A story that has a beginning and an end, with the restarts baked in. Interesting combat, too. Each boss and area needs a different strategy to overcome. Fantastic gameplay that builds toward a cohesive story. Highly recommend!

No ads, good fun, one the first truly great phone games I've ever seen. If there was a 6th star, I'd give it to this game as well. I have played some trash on this store over the years. This takes every good feature of every idle game and uses it to effectively create a truly good experience. Publisher/Dev, LMK if ur gonna be at a con or when ur gonna make a new game.

I almost never write reviews, but I really appreciated the love that the author put into this game. He says that he took his favorite parts from other idle games and made it into one game, and I can absolutely see that. Just as a warning for those who like to be very passive about playing, you won't get very far if you're not involved in the game. Being offline offers some benefits to help you speed up your run while you're playing, but that's it. Very good game overall, would recommend

This is a fantastic premium game with no external boosters. All advancement is natural progression by discovery. Any skill gates have to be thought through and not bought through. It's two weeks olto finish if you commit to it and I am actively depressed that there's not more outside of challenges, but the literal storyline is satisfying to complete! Now I have to buy the second game! Ugh!

The perfect incremental game experience. I got 100% within a few weeks because I could simply not put it down. The curve felt right, and I never felt like I was grinding for the sake of grinding - I always felt like I had agency to be creative to accelerate my progress. RPG elements were well thought out and fun. Even after I felt like I had some "optimal strategy" for runs to grind out the last achievements, the challenge modes forced me to adapt to entirely different builds.

Fantastic idler, up there with Kitten's Game and Trimps for me. In fact, it's very similar to Kitten's Game in most regards. The pacing of progress is top notch. It's never made me feel like I'm bashing my head against the grind trying to make progress. I think I've almost beaten it after ~3 weeks of heavy play so it's pretty meaty. At the same time, it's concluding just around the point where I'm starting to get a little burnt out so that's definitely something I admire cause most idles don't

I have around 11 days of playtime on this game (11 days in game). Took me about 1/3rd of a year to beat it playing on & off. Good clicker-style game. The end-game is rewarding - but I will not be doing the challanges - too much time needed. If you're looking for a clicker game that you can pick-up and drop quickly, this one is perfect. To the devs - I would highly recommend making the menuing better. It's pretty garbage until you understand what everything is.

Steve Wohlwend

Better than a mere incremental game, this really is a full fledged RPG. There's always something to do. The combat is engaging and the various systems are introduced at a reasonable pace. The balance here is truly staggering; everything is useful and nothing is overpowered. With skill and strategy you can push ahead quickly, or you can kick back and advance gradually. I've played a lot of games in my life and this one is one of the hardest to put down, which is really saying something.
