I bought this game on a whim after I saw it mentioned in relation to another MMO-style healing game. I was reluctant at first because this game wasn’t free like the other one, but I decided $2 isn’t a regrettable spend. Wow— I’m glad I took the chance!
This game fills a niche I never knew I needed. As someone who plays a healing role in MMOs, it scratched that itch for running around with a virtual crew. They stand in fire. They don’t always prioritize the right targets. It’s just like a night of Mythic+ runs in WoW. As the healer, you get to help the team, repositioning them and focusing their attacks if you want, as well as keeping their health topped up. OR— you can opt in for auto mode, which I started doing, and focus on other areas (I still pre-shield before tough fights and put regen on the squishier).
Then, there’s the gear management, talents, skill upgrades, and multiple characters to unlock. They all have their own skills and strengths. Your party of 5 has multiple tanks to select from, various dps roles to fill (mages, melee, archer), and you get to kit them out.
The IAP isn’t necessary. It’s just for convenience if you don’t want to go through the natural unlocks of the game. I’ve ignored them, and I’m already 15+ happy hours into the game.
My only “beef” with the game is that (so far as I’ve seen) there’s only the one healer. I’d like to see different healer types. I also think having something along the lines of “Party strategy” settings to guide the AI would be nice, but it’s very enjoyable the way it is now.
Overall, this game is great if you love party management, light idle gaming, and some good old fashioned healing. For $2… aka half the cost of a coffee… you won’t find better.
Hey dev — the world needs a sequel!!!
