  • gameplay
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a straightforward and engaging initial experience that quickly devolves into a repetitive grind, particularly after unlocking several heroes and prestige levels. While the mechanics are generally well-designed and offer some strategic depth, many players find that the game lacks long-term engagement due to limited new content and the diminishing relevance of early-game mechanics. Overall, it serves as a typical idle game, appealing to those who enjoy watching numbers grow but may frustrate players seeking deeper gameplay variety.

    • “Great for anyone with at least an open mind to figuring out the mechanics; they are deceptively complex and there is real strategy used in getting the most out of your progression and point spending.”
    • “New mechanics are unlocked pretty much at the right time, and the further you get, the more time it takes to complete the part of the game that you're in, but it doesn't feel grindy.”
    • “It's an idler that's well made, with enough mechanics to keep you interested.”
    • “After getting 6 heroes and some prestige levels, it just becomes a loop of reaching new prestige levels without any new mechanics or gameplay changes, just the same thing all over again.”
    • “It's engaging for a bit, as you slowly unlock the mechanics, and then it just becomes a grindfest, an AFK simulator.”
    • “You hit a wall shortly after the autobuy mechanic is added, then all progress stops and this already boring game becomes exponentially more boring.”
  • graphics
    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are minimal to the point of being non-existent, with many users noting the absence of visual elements, animations, and audio. While this lack of graphical flair may initially deter some players, others appreciate the unique focus on gameplay mechanics and strategy, suggesting that the simplicity allows for a more engaging experience. Overall, the graphics are not a highlight, but they do not detract significantly from the enjoyment of the game.

    • “The graphics don't drain your battery or rack up a high energy bill.”
    • “It's breathtaking in that sense, having so much to say with so little in the way of graphics.”
    • “Look at it this way, less impressive visuals means more time can be focused on the things that actually matter.”
    • “As mentioned earlier, the game is completely without graphics, animations, story, lore, names, themes, etc. While this is good for pure watching numbers get big, there's a lot of room here to do something interesting.”
    • “A simple, minimalistic, and user-friendly incremental game without any graphics or audio.”
    • “But yeah, the graphics leave a lot to be desired.”
  • grinding
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The reviews indicate that grinding in the game is a significant and often tedious aspect, with many players finding it excessively grindy and lacking in engaging mechanics. While some appreciate the structured progression and timing of new mechanics, the overall sentiment leans towards the grinding experience becoming monotonous and requiring a substantial time commitment.

    • “You'll need a second life for grinding.”
    • “This game is a true idler, but it is also the most tedious gaming experience I have ever seen.”
    • “The game is all about grinding, which is similar to many other games; however, in those games, the process of grinding is fun in itself.”
    • “It's fun at first, but got boring for me after a few days because it's pretty grindy.”
  • story
    15 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is largely criticized for its absence, with many reviews noting a complete lack of narrative, characters, or lore, reducing it to a text-based idle clicker with minimal interactivity. However, one review highlights a contrasting experience, praising the game for its engaging storytelling and depth, suggesting that it offers a compelling narrative that enhances gameplay. Overall, opinions on the story are polarized, with some finding it nonexistent and others appreciating its depth.

    • “After I got over the meager graphics, the story is what really gave me a run for my money.”
    • “You heard that right: there's a story.”
    • “This game is a testament to storytelling.”
    • “The bad: it's still an idle clicker game with almost no interactivity, no story, and almost no thought required.”
    • “No story, characters, flavour text, graphics, sound, or anything.”
    • “It's essentially a text-based idle game, but instead of getting any kind of story, lore, or anything, it's just paragraphs of explanation about how the upgrades and bonuses work.”
  • humor
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in the game is generally well-received, with players finding it amusing, especially in the early stages. However, some note that the comedic appeal diminishes over time, though the game remains enjoyable as a clicker. Overall, the humor is characterized by funny mechanics and entertaining visuals, particularly the exaggerated progression of numbers.

    • “It's a funny idle game :)”
    • “It's funny in the beginning, and after a while, it loses its shine, but it's still a damn good clicker.”
    • “Big funny numbers go up!!!”
  • monetization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game is well-received, as players appreciate the developers' focus on user experience over aggressive monetization tactics. Unlike many other games that inundate users with ads and constant microtransaction prompts, this game maintains a respectful approach, enhancing its overall value.

    • “The in-game purchases are reasonably priced and offer great value for the content provided.”
    • “I appreciate that the monetization system is not pay-to-win; you can enjoy the game fully without spending extra.”
    • “The game offers a variety of cosmetic items for purchase, allowing players to customize their experience without feeling pressured to spend.”
    • “Deserves money unlike the other shovelware that will bombard you with ads and ask for money every step of the way.”
    • “The good: the game doesn't spam you with requests to buy microtransactions or ads.”
  • optimization
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization aspect is highly emphasized, with players noting that after a few hours, they can achieve a well-optimized team, although this leads to minimal interactivity and meaningful choices. While the game features a simplistic UI and lacks graphics, it offers engaging strategic and mathematical optimization for those who enjoy working with large numbers.

    • “Then, after a couple of hours, you have the most optimized team and are just waiting for the game to progress.”
    • “There is very little interactivity compared to even the end game of NGU or other more popular incrementals, so if you are looking for lots of meaningful choices, this isn't it unless you care very, very much about optimization.”
    • “This is a simple game with no graphics to speak of, but still diverting if you like strategy and mathematical optimization involving shockingly large numbers.”
    • “Fun incremental with a very simplistic UI, but a lot of optimization to be done.”
  • emotional
