  • Offers a decent amount of depth with various unit combinations, active abilities, and unlockable traits, making it enjoyable for fans of the genre.
  • Great value for the price, providing many hours of gameplay despite some limitations in content.
  • The game has not received updates for over two years, leading to concerns about its long-term viability and content stagnation.
  • Many players find the game becomes repetitive after a few runs, with limited content and a lack of engaging progression.
  • The English translation is poor, with numerous typos and unclear descriptions, making it difficult for players to fully understand the mechanics.
  • gameplay30 mentions

    The gameplay is noted for its depth and interactivity, featuring a variety of active abilities and solid animations, but suffers from poor translation and unclear mechanics that can frustrate players. While some find the experience engaging, others criticize the lengthy runs and passive gameplay, suggesting that it lacks excitement and variety after initial playthroughs. Overall, the game shows potential but requires significant improvements in clarity and pacing to enhance the player experience.

    • “The challenge is there, and the gameplay is more interactive than you might expect from other games of the type, with a selection of active abilities you can choose from and use actively during battles.”
    • “Pros: animations are solid, balance is pretty good, quite a bit of depth, gameplay is fun.”
    • “Surprisingly deep and polished gameplay together with very active developers makes for a great overall product.”
    • “I never had an issue with any of the battles, never even got close to losing; then in the final battle the bosses were one-shotting my characters left and right... glad they had a 'retry' mechanic because there was no warning I was fighting the final bosses and the battle starts off immediately devastating.”
    • “Too little explanation of mechanics, the text is sized very weirdly and is awkward to read; as well, the text has been poorly translated.”
    • “The issue is that a single playthrough shows you everything the game has to offer and the gameplay itself is a stripped down version of the other competitive autobattlers on the market.”
  • graphics14 mentions

    The graphics in the game are generally described as decent but lacking in high resolution, with many reviewers noting that they could benefit from an upgrade. While the visuals are comfortable for players with aging eyes, the overall quality is considered below top-tier standards, and some players find the combat visuals chaotic at higher levels. Overall, the graphics receive mixed feedback, with a consensus that improvements are needed to enhance the visual experience.

    • “The visuals in combat can get pretty frantic and hard to track at higher levels, but the active abilities slowing down time allow you to target them fairly well.”
    • “The graphics are comfortable even on aging eyes.”
    • “The graphics are decent, with one big problem - the maximum resolution is standard HD.”
    • “The graphics could use a little upgrade; even though the design is beautiful, the quality right now is rather low.”
    • “The graphics are nothing special.”
  • replayability10 mentions

    Overall, the game boasts high replayability due to its randomness, ongoing challenges, and the progression system that strengthens creatures for subsequent runs. Many players were pleasantly surprised by the depth and variety, leading to a greater replay value than initially anticipated.

    • “As you finish the world, your creatures get stronger for the next run, so there is a good deal of replayability in it.”
    • “The relative randomness gave the game its replay value.”
    • “While this makes for a steep ramp, this also makes for a ton of replayability.”
    • “I didn't expect much from the screenshots/trailer before I bought the game, but surprisingly it has a lot of depth and replayability.”
  • grinding7 mentions

    The grinding aspect of the game is polarizing; while some players enjoy the slow progression and find it engaging, others feel it becomes tedious and lacks meaningful rewards after a certain point. Many users express that the repetitive nature of gameplay and insufficient incentives for leveling up followers lead to boredom, particularly after reaching a certain milestone. Overall, the enjoyment of grinding seems to depend on individual preferences for purpose and variety in gameplay.

    • “While you do level the followers outside of the runs so they become stronger in future runs, it does not seem like there is enough incentive to keep grinding as the level of the followers does not really seem to translate into any surmountable power.”
    • “Yes, just too long to have any gameplay left after you get your 7th follower; you feel bored and grindy.”
    • “I love grinding, but with a purpose. I don't want to see the same thing over and over again; the 10th run is equal to my 1st run, and that's not fun.”
  • music4 mentions

    The music in the game receives mixed reviews; while some find it boring and lacking in orchestration, others appreciate its fitting quality and believe it enhances the overall experience. Overall, the soundtrack is described as good and well-suited to the gameplay.

    • “The sounds and music are fitting and sound good.”
    • “This game is a blast - the music is spot on, and figuring out all the stuff is the best.”
    • “The music is incredibly boring.”
    • “The soundtrack lacks any excitement or variety.”
    • “I found the music to be repetitive and uninspired.”
  • story3 mentions

    The story aspect of the game is criticized for its poor quality and minimal narrative depth, leaving players feeling that the experience is cheap and lacking substance. The overly simplistic gameplay and condescending celebratory elements further detract from any potential engagement with the story.

    • “The poor overall quality, the lack of story, and the extremely cheesy fireworks that go off after every victory makes you painfully aware that you are playing a cheap video game with low difficulty. Those fireworks felt crazy condescending; 'great job! you clicked 'start' and won! what a 'master strategist' you are!'”
    • “Very little story.”
  • optimization2 mentions

    The game's optimization is criticized for being lackluster, as it fails to enhance the potential for engaging gameplay and exciting combos, resulting in a dry experience against uninspiring opponents.

    • “It could also do with an overhaul of the performance.”
    • “TL;DR: The potential for exciting combos and fun effects in a single-player roguelike is wasted here; you only get incredibly dry optimization to use against boring opponents.”
