Fun text game

Very much like orb of creation (and countless others) but has more depth than the genre usually sees. It's also much less grindy, at least in the beginning.

The one downside is at a certain point the game becomes an auto battler, which is fine, except you need to auto battle for 10+ hours straight. It's not very interesting to watch. You will hit a ceiling on the building stuff frequently and have to battle to resolve that issue. I wish there was more story pop ups during this time and more unique ones to boot. My only other gripe is some of the spell balancing is off. Certain higher tier spells make no sense to use as the efficiency is greatly reduced.

I am thoroughly enjoying this game though and feel it has been well with the cost already

Great Idle Game

Might be the most fun Idle game ive played since I beat NGU Idle. Its not extremely complex, but it does not need to be. It has a lot of charm and you can tell the game is really fine-tuned and well made. Balance is great. The pacing is fantastic, I never hit a timewall that would take more than a couple hours to beat. I kept on wanting to level up more to see the new gear, new spells, new everything.

Just a fantastic game. It does cost money but man the amount of money Ive spent on less good idle games compared to this is wild.

I Love This Game But Have Two Problems

I’m glad I bought the game. Even with the two problems I’ve had it’s worth the money.

The first one was mentioned by someone else, text running off the page so I had to quit the game and come back as I couldn’t get to the buttons. I figured out that I had to lower the size of my text on the entire phone to fix this. It’s a hassle but if I hold it very close then put the text back up when I finish playing I’m okay.

The second is that I’ve had to retire twice because my wood started counting back instead of forward so I couldn’t keep hold of any wood. I’m still trying to figure out what triggers that, and if anything makes me stop playing it will be that. It’s too bad because it’s a fun game otherwise.

Hello,

Thanks for the feedback!

Regarding the wood counting back, it is most likely being caused by Furnaces, which consume wood. To reduce this consumption, you can turn off the Furnaces by expanding them from the Campus screen.
