    37 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the game features a mix of interesting mechanics and interconnected systems, but is marred by a clunky user interface and numerous bugs that hinder the experience. Players can engage with various strategies, including a focus on science over combat, but many find the mechanics overwhelming and poorly explained. Overall, while the core gameplay has potential, significant design and functionality issues detract from its enjoyment.

    • “The reset mechanic of this game is configured in a way that does not feel like grinding.”
    • “It's one of those idle games where mechanics just constantly stack off each other and build up forever, numbers messing with numbers in a million different ways.”
    • “It seems to be a great idle game, there are different activities, lots of unfolding mechanics, and some depth.”
    • “But expect broken mechanics along the way.”
    • “There are a myriad of issues with design and gameplay that need to be worked on.”
    • “A mishmash of a lot of different mechanics all jumbled together in one of the worst UIs I've ever seen for an idle game.”
  • grinding
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players feel that the game's reset mechanic alleviates the feeling of grinding, as progress is more influenced by the "prestige/synchronization" cooldown rather than waiting times. Most grinding is associated with the fighting mechanic, making it feel more engaging than tedious.

    • “You realize that you're more capped by the 'prestige/synchronization' cooldown than actual waiting, and most of the grinding is through the fighting mechanic.”
    • “The reset mechanic of this game is configured in a way that does not feel like grinding.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game features a cool and pleasant soundtrack, complemented by basic functions like a mute button. While the music loop is short, it is generally well-received alongside the sound effects.

    • “It's got an interesting mechanic; it has basic functions like a mute button but also features cool music.”
    • “Oh, the (very short) music loop and other sound effects are actually pretty pleasant.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are criticized for being outdated and minimalistic, with many players finding the visuals to be messy and the user interface confusing. While some initial forgiveness was granted due to the game's ambitious scale, modern idle games have set higher standards that this title fails to meet.

    • “Now, Ngu was kind of the first game of such incredible scale and took many years to get there, so players easily forgave it for ugly visuals, lack of audio, and a mediocre tutorial. However, we are now in a much more modern era of idle games where titles like Idle Wizard, Rule the Gods, Heart of Galaxy, and Leaf Blower exist, so there is no excuse for using old, outdated mechanics.”
    • “Visuals are minimal, if not a mess; the UI can be very confusing.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users report experiencing UI glitches and random freezes that can lead to lost progress, indicating significant stability issues within the game.

    • “Some UI glitches.”
    • “Update: got further into the game and guess what... now it randomly freezes and loses progress lol.”
  • monetization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization aspect of the game has been criticized for its reliance on cash grabs and poor mechanics, leading to a negative perception among users who feel that the game prioritizes profit over quality.

    • “The monetization system feels like a cash grab, prioritizing profits over player experience.”
    • “It's frustrating to see so many features locked behind paywalls, making it hard to enjoy the game without spending extra money.”
    • “The constant push for in-game purchases detracts from the overall enjoyment and immersion of the game.”
  • story
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users feel that the documentation and tips provided do not fully convey the complete narrative, suggesting that there may be gaps in understanding the story's depth and context.

    • “But the documentation and list of tips will not give you the whole story of what's going on.”
