The gameplay is generally seen as tedious, unrewarding, and poorly connected, with slow pacing and unclear mechanics that hinder progress satisfaction. While some updates and presentation were appreciated, many found key gameplay elements, like resource farming and upgrades, to be inefficient or frustrating. Overall, the gameplay feels unfinished and lacks depth compared to other incrementals in the genre.
- “I enjoyed the updates made to the gameplay and throughout; the trailer was well put together.”
- “Its okay for the price, feels a bit slow in some of the later bits and some upgrades are kind of annoying such as an upgrade that claims to double enemy health and double enemy loot drops which is a bit of a silly upgrade in concept since it just slows down the gameplay.”
- “Some of the mechanics, like the essence farming, feel like you put more resources into them than you get out during the time you play, so it ends up being a pretty pointless resource sink.”
- “No achievements or prestige system, the different gameplay aspects barely feel connected.”
- “The gameplay is rather tedious and the game feels unfinished.”
- “Some of the mechanics, like the essence farming, feel like you put more resources into them than you get out of it during gameplay, making it a pretty pointless resource sink.”
