    The gameplay is characterized by a satisfying progression system that encourages incremental upgrades and features prestige mechanics, providing a fun and relaxing experience. While it offers plenty of content and doesn't aggressively push in-game purchases, some players find the repetitive nature of the mechanics and the need for constant engagement can turn missions into tedious chores over time. Overall, it combines simple mechanics with depth, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.

    • “Free to play, fun satisfying progression, doesn't shove the in-game purchases down your throat, super relaxing gameplay, and plenty of content.”
    • “A very fun incremental game with simple mechanics that expand over time.”
    • “Has prestige mechanics, challenges, and more to keep you interested.”
    • “After some hours, there are a lot of menus with many upgrades that you will not read because you will simply go to the red dot menu and buy max. The gameplay is press the highlighted button to buy an upgrade, then repeat this many times, then prestige and start the cycle again.”
    • “The 'ascensions' and 'prestige' systems require near-constant gameplay, and the game guts most of your progress if it isn't running on your computer.”
    • “Some missions require up to 30 minutes of active gameplay (holding one button and releasing it until it's no longer fun), and missions reset on each prestige, kind of turning them into heavy chores after a few times.”

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its tedious and repetitive missions, which often require prolonged manual effort and can feel like chores, especially as they reset with each prestige. While some missions are deemed enjoyable, the overall experience is marred by their length and the lack of true idle gameplay.

    • “Electric missions are terrible and boring.”
    • “Some missions require up to 30 minutes of active gameplay (holding one button and releasing it until it's no longer fun) and missions reset on each prestige, kind of turning them into heavy chores after a few times.”
    • “There is a fair amount of manual work needed, especially at the start and for upgrades and missions, so I'd not call it a truly 'idle' game.”
  • grinding6 mentions

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, often feeling that it detracts from the overall enjoyment. While some appreciate the dopamine hits from progress, many express frustration with the need for constant active participation, especially in an idle game, leading to a sense of boredom over time. Overall, the grinding can feel excessive, particularly for those aiming for 100% achievements.

    • “It's like the author decided they needed to force active participation in an idle game... already a staggeringly ridiculous idea... and then made it extra tedious on purpose, just to be annoying.”
    • “Personally, I feel that things become a bit too repetitive and grindy when getting evil points; having to redo it so much started to get really boring, but not to the point of hating it, I guess.”
    • “Even though it's well-made and gives you that dopamine hit, it's the kind of game where you have to prestige a lot of times, which can get tedious.”
