### 4/5 — Почему не могу бить босса

*2026-08-23*

Не могу просмотреть бесплатную рекламу( очень хочу) echo eсенцию.

### 5/5 — Отзыв и просьба

*2026-07-24*

Интересная игра, давно играю и не пропускаю ни одного дня чтобы не поиграть) тем более это не особо сложно и много времени не занимает) то что надо для такого лентяя как я)

Вот только у меня просьба верните возможность покупать амулеты за бриллианты. Мне вот вообще не понравился факт того что если ты сам их не получил толь только за реальную валюту можно покупать, я несколько месяцев собирал и копил бриллианты чтобы купить нужный мне амулет. А тут обновление с археологией где многое поменялось, многое добавилось, и кое что пропало. Это единственное о чём я прошу. Верните мне возможность легальным способом купить амулеты не используя реальную валюту пожалуйста. Спасибо за внимание

### 5/5 — Great community (discord) and game

*2026-07-08*

Love idle games and this has scratched my itch for months and I believe it will continue to do that for the foreseeable future for sure

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! I'm glad to hear you're enjoying the game, and hope you enjoy future updates!

### 5/5 — Grabbed me and won’t let go

*2026-06-25, version 1.68.1*

This game… what can I say? One hell of an active community, a developer that listens and acts on player feedback, and a brilliant idle game that, as the title states, grabbed me and won’t let go! 

Been playing for just under a year, watching and enjoying the game growing. 

Big up Soup, big up the Discord, and big up Harpagia :)

### 5/5 — Playing for months

*2026-06-19*

Great game. Been playing for months. There’s IAPs, but everything can be earned in game. I would recommend some of the QOL IAPs to support the dev though. Over the past 6 months that I’ve played the devs has added a ton, including a new skill (archeology), more battle modes, and even trading. Really excited to see what else they have planned.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words and for playing for so many months! It really means a lot to have your support. I'm glad you've enjoyed all the updates, and I hope you continue to enjoy everything that's still to come. Thanks again!

### 3/5 — Fun game with a lot of systems

*2026-06-02, version 1.66.1*

Reminds me a little bit of Melvor Idle but not as complex and certainly not as well documented. Purchased an Adventure Pack and it seems to be device locked and cannot be used on the account with multiple devices. Not sure if this is intended or not as I’m not going to purchase that twice.

I think considering this is a solo developer this is a great start and I look forward to its development.

Some criticisms:

Cloud saves are not ideally implemented. This means you can really only play on one device which is limiting if you want to use a tablet sometimes and a phone other times while traveling. Since it is meant for offline play, worrying about exploits is inconsequential.

Some of the systems are convoluted without clear understanding of how they impact the game. More descriptions should be included.

UI for battle screen is odd as I have to click on the skill I’m actively levelling (I.e. defence) in order to see its true level else it shows be the combined level with equipment. This is a basic stat and an adventure pack should not be required to see it on the battle screen without clicking on a skill.

If purchases are for a device only they should clearly state that they are not account-wide (unless of course this is unintended).

There are a lot of menus and nested menus. I understand this will be challenging due to the nature of the game too, but it is a bit confusing at times to navigate. Consider a tablet mode as well that would allow a more intuitive UI with landscape mode an option.

### 5/5 — Like Melvor but different

*2026-04-27, version 1.64.1*

Do you like UI based idle games in the style of Melvor?  If so you should try this out, its quite good.

### 4/5 — Good online grind of skills but…

*2026-04-23, version 1.63.1*

It was mentioned in other reviews, but battling should be doable offline. To combat the way the other skills grind offline where you can go from 1 to 100 if you left it alone long enough, perhaps cap the experience you can gain? The other thing that is frustrating is the insight mini game. You have to guess a code with the code getting longer and longer depending on the level. It will tell you how many numbers are in the right spots vs the wrong, but it doesn’t tell you which ones are in the correct spots as far as I can tell. So it is basically still random as to guessing the code. Very frustrating seeing you have 4/6 right, not knowing which 4, and then your next 5 guesses are all worse guesses because of it.

### 3/5 — Remove The Mini Games From Important Skills

*2026-04-17, version 1.63.1*

Game absolutely slows progress on skill gains unnecessarily. You have to play mini games that shouldn’t be needed to improve certain skills; including Scholar egregiously, as that skill increases your general exp gains. Imbibing - which has a ticket requirement as the ONLY skill that has a set resource cost, is redundant by using monster points to make your potion count infinite. It does increase effect, in decimal point values, so YMMV.  You WILL find skill gains for battling take HOURS for one level past level 50. And the best gear takes 151 to 175 levels of X stat (plus resource costs - so levels in Mining & Forging are hard required) which boils down to it being very defeating. If you could JUST grind each skill without pointless add ons; even at slow rates for scholar & Zen, it’d be a marked improvement. The way it stands seems more like you want players to pay for X convenience.

### 5/5 — Echo dungeon

*2026-04-14*

Please fix bug with add at echo dungeon can’t receive rewards

**Developer response:** Some regions (including Russia) may have limited or blocked access to ads due to external restrictions from the ad provider.

Because of this, ads may not load or reward properly. This isn’t a bug with the game, and it’s not something I can control or override.

If ads are available, the “Remove Ads” purchase allows you to receive rewards without watching ads. However, availability of purchases may also vary by region.
