The gameplay has been widely criticized for being repetitive, bland, and lacking depth, with many players finding the mechanics unbalanced and poorly explained. While the art style and some unique features, like the loot system, received praise, they were often overshadowed by bugs and a lack of engaging content, leading to a general sentiment that the game fails to provide a meaningful experience. Overall, players feel that the game does not effectively capitalize on its potential, resulting in a disappointing gameplay experience.
- “The art style of this game is probably the best I have seen from a clicker game, and the loot mechanic is a very unique and cool addition to the genre.”
- “You can see your heroes attacking, which is really cool. Besides trying to get the best gear for each of them, you can view them as real characters in the game, not just as damage per second.”
- “I like the art style, and I think the gameplay is decent enough for clicker and idle fans.”
- “Here, the characters feel very empty and boring, and the gameplay is worse and repetitive.”
- “The equipment idea is terrible, especially if ascension is supposed to make you stronger; you lose all the hard-found loot to ascend, really no point to the loot mechanic.”
- “Unbalanced like crazy, offline earnings are random (after 8+ hours of offline gameplay, I get 0.00 gold), skills don't work properly, and there are so many critical bugs that I can't recommend it, even when it is free to play.”

stability

The game suffers from significant stability issues, including frequent glitches and bugs that hinder gameplay, particularly when managing multiple heroes or large bosses. Users report severe slowdowns, unresponsive controls, and a problematic user interface that can lead to complete game freezes, necessitating a restart. While the concept is promising, the current state of stability makes it difficult to recommend.
- “It is also full of glitches.”
- “I love this game, but it is quite buggy (lots of faults in the way the game works, or rather does not work). For instance, the more heroes you have or the bigger the boss you are fighting, the slower the game becomes and the less responsive your clicks are. The worst bug is when the user interface is completely lost, your clicks are not registered, and the game does not progress at all. You have to close and re-open the game.”
- “Good concept for a clicker, but right now it's a bit too buggy to recommend.”
