  • gameplay
    56 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of meaningful progression, as players feel that upgrades, particularly for chests, become less rewarding over time, leading to a sense of wasted resources. Additionally, the offline rewards are deemed ineffective, as they do not contribute to leveling up while the game is not actively played.

    • “In one quest, you just have to pay gems for upgrades. I already made some upgrades like the chest upgrades, but after some time, you just get fewer and fewer chests, so the upgrade was a waste of several thousand gems. The offline rewards are also not useful because you don't reach any higher levels when you're going offline, so your phone has to run all the time.”
