The gameplay has been criticized for its repetitiveness and lack of engaging mechanics, with players finding it boring and monotonous after a short period. The prestige system is deemed ineffective and unnecessary, while the game's claim to be an idle experience is undermined by hard caps on resource gathering and a reliance on active play for progression. Overall, the gameplay feels broken and fails to provide meaningful incentives for players.
- “The main reason I say it's not an idle game is the level-up mechanics; once you get all the experience to level up, the experience stops, making it no longer idle since you can't progress without active playing.”
- “Gameplay is super repetitive, and there is absolutely zero reason to ever use the prestige mechanic.”
- “The game's prestige mechanic is broken - there is no reason to 'prestige' or restart.”
- “F2P mechanics in a paid game.”
- “It's kind of a hot mess - a combination of broken dynamics and proclaiming to be an 'idle' game, but it penalizes idle gameplay with hard caps on the amount of resources you can gather when idle.”
