story82 positive mentions

monetization163 negative mentions

Engaging and addictive gameplay with a large variety of superpower combinations and builds, offering deep strategy and replayability.
No forced ads with optional ad rewards, good balance between active and idle play, and a fair monetization approach.
Interesting story elements that provide motivation and depth beyond typical idle games; frequent updates and developer responsiveness noted.

Frequent bugs and crashes causing loss of progress, including save data resets and game freezing, leading to player frustration.
Late-game scaling issues with difficulty spikes, lag, and unreasonable shop and restock costs that stall progression and may require spending money.
Some poorly explained or non-functional mechanics and powers, unintuitive UI elements, and limited customization options, plus issues with offline progress and advertising glitches.

monetization

The game features optional, non-intrusive ads that offer rewards and progression boosts without forcing players to watch them, which is appreciated by many users. However, there are frequent issues with ads not working properly, crashing the game, or not granting promised rewards, leading to frustration. In-app purchases, including a $10-$13 option to remove ads, are considered overpriced and sometimes misleading since removing ads can disable certain beneficial features like instant revives from watching ads. Overall, monetization is seen as fair but marred by technical problems and high prices that detract from the otherwise enjoyable free-to-play experience.
- “An update broke my save and gave me all in-app purchases for free along with 450k gems.”
- “I enjoyed the game so much, even though it's free to play (with some microtransactions), I threw a few dollars into it to make it ad-free and buy the starter bundle.”
- “No ads, no pay-to-win, no nothing, it's just a good game, nothing bad to say about it.”
- “I will not pay $13 to remove ads when the watch ads function doesn't work and seems to be broken on purpose to force me into buying the ad free package.”
- “They want 9.99 to remove ads lol... no thanks.”
- “I really hope the dev will work on the game more and rethink their monetization strategy as the current one is really bad 100€+ for one single little idler, even though it is fun, is just over the top.”

The story of this idle game is generally praised for being engaging, unique, and fun, with a creative use of time travel and branching paths that add depth uncommon in the genre. However, it is noted to start slowly with some progression gaps and occasional glitches, plus minor issues like poor grammar and slow pacing, which can lead to frustration. Overall, the narrative provides meaningful motivation and replay value, though many players desire more polish, expanded content, and additional choices in future updates.
- “Absolutely great game, good story as well which a lot of games like this don't have and it makes the game so much better when you have a goal.”
- “The concept is too good and greatly executed as well and the story is engaging as well.”
- “The game is fleshed out well with lots of powers and equipment, plus a really cool time travel feature which the story actually uses.”
- “It is really frustrating to see poor grammar and spelling in a game that wants to tell me a story.”
- “Once you hit 201 the slow wall started, and by 301 I was bored with the idea of going another 200 levels for another 1 page of storyline and a few powers.”
- “Shame the story drops out after level 3500, (spoilers, if you care) no redemption arc, no ability to choose between good and evil, it's just sorta depressing.”

The gameplay offers an engaging and rewarding idle experience with unique power mechanics that provide depth and variety, though it can suffer from poorly explained systems, balancing issues, and occasional technical problems. While simple and easy to understand, the progression and save features could be improved for smoother and more satisfying long-term play. Overall, it delivers fun, strategic gameplay with room for refinement and added content to maintain player interest.
- “The game is great, the art style is minimal but just enough for this game to make it work, the concept is fun, and the gameplay will give you countless hours of fun.”
- “Super fun gameplay style and some tactics.”
- “The extra mechanics and the range of powers give way more longevity of fun compared to other idle games.”
- “This game is boring as hell; the entire gameplay is to join, press a couple of buttons, and then leave while waiting for the offline income so you can do the same. For a super power-related game, you have to wait several hours before you get a power. Maybe in the first game, you'll get 3 thanks to achievements; afterwards, one is basically the maximum. I'm not willing to play this piece of laziness more to fact check it.”
- “Most compounding game mechanics do not work properly.”
- “The core mechanic of randomly choosing powers causes player power to swing wildly from run to run.”
graphics

The graphics are generally described as simplistic, basic, and lightweight, with some users finding them minimal but charming and fitting for the game's style. While not flashy or highly detailed, the visuals support the gameplay and story effectively, though some players express a desire for enhanced art style, more visual effects, and improved UI. Overall, the graphics are seen as adequate for an idle mobile game but could benefit from refinement in future updates or sequels.
- “At first, I tried this game on a whim, expecting it to be disappointing based on the simplistic visuals; I was quite mistaken.”
- “A really interesting game, the simple but effective graphics belying the huge scope of imaginative super-power based gameplay.”
- “Really enjoyable gameplay, balanced progressing, eye-friendly graphics and a little extra from developers - the story.”
- “The graphics, story, writing, interface could all need some serious revamp.”
- “UI glitches in menus in terms of graphic popping; you want to charge that much for in-game currency?”
- “Graphics are simplistic for such a huge cost for in-app purchases.”
grinding

Grinding is a significant and often tedious aspect of the game, with many players finding progress slow due to high level scaling and mastery systems requiring extensive repetition. However, once key powers and gear are acquired, grinding becomes more manageable and can be enjoyable, especially with synergistic builds. Overall, while grinding may deter some, the game remains engaging and rewarding for those willing to invest the time.
- “Beyond that, the game is ungodly grindy on every front.”
- “This isn't even going into the jump in levels required for new powers making the game extremely tedious.”
- “The only bad part is I lost my save so I had to reset, which is when I realized how grindy early game really is.”
humor
13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game features enjoyable and often funny storytelling with amusing characters and concepts, contributing to a lighthearted and entertaining experience. While the humor is generally well-received, some areas could benefit from more polish. Overall, the humor adds charm and makes the gameplay more engaging despite occasional simplicity in art and design.
- “Not like many mobile games, it's fun for very long and the story is funny and interesting; I like the abilities, and though the graphics aren't great, they are cool and sometimes funny.”
- “Fun game with good humor and a cool list of powers.”
- “It is a very good game and I am sleep deprived when I'm typing this, but it's still a good game and it's funny because the first boss is called Nudez the Naked Boss; I highly recommend.”
stability
11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
The game suffers from frequent crashes, freezes, and numerous glitches affecting gameplay, UI, and ads, leading to a frustrating and unstable experience despite its enjoyable core mechanics.
- “I close and reopen and I get another 10 waves then freezes again.”
- “Also, frequent crashes and freezes when doing the most minimal of things; it feels like you're walking on ice when doing anything.”
- “Plays a 'test ad' unprompted which freezes the game.”
optimization

Optimization is a significant issue, especially in late-game stages where performance drops severely, leading to crashes, rollbacks, and unplayable conditions on some devices. While early to mid-game runs smoothly with minimal issues, many users feel the game requires more optimization to maintain stable performance throughout.
- “I didn't encounter any bugs or performance issues though so that's a plus.”
- “Minor performance issues, but they're easily overlooked.”
- “Late game progression seems impossible as progress doesn't save correctly at high level (80000+) resulting in rollback when you get that far, but that still gives you quite a long playtime with a very fun optimization game, great if you love planning out builds as all powers interact with each other multiplicatively and progression is quick and constant for a large part of the game.”
- “But once you get to around level 25,000, the performance drops so badly that I don't want to play anymore.”
- “Quite fun but quickly became unplayable due to poor optimization.”
- “The big issue now is the performance of the game on my device (Galaxy S10).”
music

Users find the game's music repetitive and limited, often playing on a loop even when muted or the game is minimized, which can be intrusive. Some express a desire for a more varied and richer soundtrack, while others are frustrated by music overlapping or continuing despite muting. Overall, the music aspect is seen as lacking and in need of improvement.
- “Every time I open this game some random violin music starts to play on loop even when the game is minimized.”
- “Good job on developer, no forced ads, you can watch ads if you need rewards, but no ads actually so worth it, you can get the rewards without watching ads first, mad props to developer, just keep adding superpower and maybe some music would be nice.”
- “Still, I wish there was more to the music soundtrack.”
- “Every time I open this game, some random violin music starts to play on loop even when the game is minimized.”
- “I have all in-game sound muted, and if I turn the in-game music on, there are now two different audio tracks layered over each other.”
- “But suddenly, since an update, I've had music play through the game even after muting it entirely.”
replayability

The game offers exceptional replayability, especially for idle game fans, featuring surprising depth, randomized powers and equipment, and varied playthroughs based on player choices. Its ability to create new powersets ensures fresh experiences, addressing a common shortcoming in the genre. Overall, it provides high replay value through fun, strategic, and varied gameplay.
- “High replay value and a fun little story depending on your choices made which can randomize powers, equipment and make any playthrough different as you focus on certain stats to work with your abilities and make powerful combos or balance out your weaknesses.”
- “Creating new powersets makes the game actually replayable, which is a major issue with most idle games.”
- “Update: this game is actually the bomb, if you like idle games this one has really surprising depth and ultra replayability.”

- “Character designs, item designs, power symbols, the exponential cost of items, the interface, the animation, the descriptions of powers, etc. countless spelling and grammar mistakes scattered throughout.”
