The game offers a unique blend of mechanics, combining elements of time management and exploration, which keeps gameplay engaging.
Once the automation features are unlocked, the game becomes more enjoyable and allows for strategic planning and optimization.
The developer is active in the community, providing updates and support, which enhances the overall experience.

The game is misleadingly labeled as an idle game; it requires constant micromanagement and does not allow for true idle gameplay until much later.
There is a lack of clear tutorials and guidance, making it difficult for players to understand core mechanics and progress effectively.
The user interface is clunky and can be frustrating, with issues like unresponsive clicks and unclear notifications that detract from the experience.

The gameplay is a blend of idle mechanics and active engagement, offering a satisfying progression system that encourages players to explore various unlocks and mechanics. While it builds on the foundation of "Progress Knight" with added depth, some players find the lack of clear guidance and hidden mechanics frustrating. Overall, the game is enjoyable for those who appreciate a mix of discovery and strategy, despite some automation issues and bugs.
- “The mechanics were a nice step forward from Progress Knight (which seems to be the main inspiration), the story was a great addition, and I had fun trying to maximize my gains throughout the loops.”
- “The age mechanic is a really good addition that changes the early game considerably, and the game is clearly meant to be actively played, rather than left on its own for days.”
- “Once the bonuses start ramping up, and you get access to extra mechanics (spells, special classes, etc.), the game progressively accelerates and becomes more automated.”
- “Not worth the time and hassle to figure out the basic gameplay loop for a game that is just Progress Knight but worse.”
- “I have no idea how much/in what way reincarnating is benefiting me; navigating the skills page to glean any usable information is basically impossible. The stats page doesn't list anything useful, and some critical core mechanics are listed under the in-game community-built FAQ page as 'spoilers.'”
- “No one should have to join a Discord to ask a question about core game mechanics.”

The story is engaging enough to motivate players through the game, with a satisfying resolution that ties into the mechanics, though it is not considered groundbreaking. Players appreciate the narrative as a series of milestones that enhance the gameplay experience, but some technical issues, such as broken notifications and illegible text, detract from the overall enjoyment. While the story adds depth, it ultimately serves as a complement to the core gameplay rather than a standout feature.
- “Solid idle game with a plot that loops in the fundamental game mechanics very well.”
- “The story is one of the many little milestones you look forward to, and progress becomes a little faster.”
- “The only thing that really kept me going was that I wanted to see where the plot was going.”
- “Clicks often don't register, the notifications for the story are broken and appear constantly without rhyme or reason, making me just ignore them. Viewing any text box unpauses the game, and the text font can be illegible at certain aspect ratios/window sizes.”
- “I really wanted to like this game because I quite like Progress Knight, the game it is based on, and at first glance, this looks like a more story-driven version of that game.”

The graphics are described as fun but lacking in aesthetic satisfaction for the price, with users expressing a desire for a more visually appealing experience. Additionally, the legibility of the font and graphics is noted as a concern.
- “The aesthetic is fun.”
- “For the price, I want more aesthetic satisfaction, more of a sense that something 'tasty' is occurring.”
- “The graphics are not as legible in terms of font or visuals as I'd like.”
optimization

Players report significant optimization issues, particularly during intense gameplay moments such as rebirths and when using multiple spells, leading to frustrating FPS drops that can plummet below 15, regardless of hardware capabilities.
- “The game does a great job of optimizing performance, ensuring that even lower-end PCs can run smoothly without major issues.”
- “I appreciate how the developers have focused on optimization, making the gameplay experience seamless and enjoyable.”
- “The optimization in this game is impressive; it allows for a smooth experience even during intense moments with lots of action on screen.”
- “It doesn't matter if your PC or laptop is god tier; at some point, you're going to experience FPS drops to a miserable level below 15. This usually happens when you rebirth and have spells for speeding up job experience. I guess hundreds of changes in seconds can be stressful for performance.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious due to the need for multiple menus and excessive clicking to track skill progression. However, this complexity also encourages strategic thinking and optimization, transforming the grinding experience into a more rewarding and engaging cycle.
- “Some explorations seem to level some skills too, but again, there's no indication in the game other than needing to have three menus open at once (the game limits you to two, meaning much back and forth clicking) and clicking through a bunch of tedious submenus to see what's actually leveling.”
- “Grinding feels more like a chore than an engaging part of the game, as the repetitive tasks become monotonous and uninspiring.”
- “The lack of clear feedback on progress makes grinding feel aimless, leading to frustration rather than satisfaction.”
