User reviews

Completely unplayable.

My first impression was as bad as can be. Even though my language was set to English, the game initially launched in Chinese and I had to press buttons at random until I got to the English language screens. Since I don’t know Chinese, I have no idea what I may have agreed to by pressing those buttons. Once I got to English and started playing the game, I was completely lost. The user interface is insanely complicated and the game does absolutely NOTHING to train you on how to play the game. This thing is in serious need of a beginners tutorial. Without that, this game is NOT worth your time!

Can’t defend

How do you defend earth in time? It seems impossible to even defeat the first attacker since you can’t build any defenses in time

Very interesting format

I like it so far it’s just a bit of digging to find what to do at certain points.

Could you give me the link for the discord channels pls to check some guides. I’ve been grinding I’m on my 30th reincarnation a bit stuck on what to do

There are relevant Discord links in the game; clicking the community button will take you directly there.

Review

Can’t read anything. Everything is way too small.
No directions or instructions on how to play. No game story.

Response from developer

We will continue to optimize it. If you need game guides, you can check Discord; there are relevant guides available there.

99% graphics 1% gameplay

Tutorial teaches you absolutely nothing, just throws the entire game at you with little to no explanation on what’s actually going on. Zero clue what the goal is or what I’m supposed to be doing
