The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive loop that can feel tedious, with players often waiting for resources to accumulate rather than actively engaging with mechanics. While some find enjoyment in its unique take on incremental and idle gameplay, many criticize its slow pace, lack of strategic depth, and various bugs, leading to a frustrating experience. Overall, the game shows potential but currently lacks substantial content and engaging gameplay elements.
- “Fun ideas and good gameplay; if you like incremental/idle games, you'll have a few days' worth of playing here in the current state.”
- “Regardless, it's pretty fun and has unique gameplay compared to a lot of other idle/incremental games.”
- “Very fun game to play, and most of the negative reviews seem to have just missed mechanics.”
- “With such little gameplay, each area should take 20 minutes, and yet it easily takes multiple hours to do nothing but wait for resources to build up.”
- “But the combination of buggy gameplay (for example, unlocking the alchemy book but no poison units), sluggish pace, slow rate of autosave, punishing RNG, and complete absence of offline gains adds up to a bad time.”
- “But the actual gameplay loop is the worst kind of incremental/idle: babysitting.”
