The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and lacking depth, with repetitive mechanics centered around clicking and idle progression. Players find the prestige system and spell mechanics insufficiently developed, leading to a lack of meaningful progression and engagement. Overall, the game appears to prioritize aesthetics over substantive gameplay, leaving it feeling unfinished and shallow.
- “Special mechanics - character maker.”
- “Prestige mechanics to progress further are pretty simplistic; get enough currency and you get tokens that can be used to buy upgrades of +50% idle DPS, +50% click DPS, +50% currency gain, and -1% spell cost.”
- “The gameplay itself becomes lackluster, with no apparent progression.”
- “Spells are basically your idle mechanic, as there is nothing visual done, just magic imaginary damage.”
- “The harsh cost increase in spells past 2 billion but no mechanics besides a very poor prestige purchase means you aren't going any higher than stage 55-60 without some extreme prestige grinding.”
- “This game honestly still feels like it's in early development; the developers focused too much on making the game look pleasing instead of focusing on the gameplay itself.”
