The gameplay is criticized for its lack of balance and repetitiveness, with players noting that while all necessary mechanics are present, they fail to create a satisfying experience. The progression system feels stagnant, as there are no new buildings, professions, or standout features, and the prestige mechanic imposes arbitrary limits that detract from the overall enjoyment. Additionally, the music is described as monotonous, further contributing to the game's unengaging nature.
- “The current gameplay is basically: set up first stage production (wheat farms, mines, lumber), convert the resources produced into refined materials, those to clothing and tools, and those to gold, gems (prestige independent upgrades), and prestige points.”
- “Special mechanics - nothing that stands out from similar idles.”
- “Feels like all the mechanics are there but none of the balance.”
- “The prestige mechanic will lock you at specifically 2.15k of its currency for every prestige regardless of whether you should be below or above that number every time you load the game.”
- “No new buildings, no new professions, no new items or mechanics.”
