Have to keep phone open ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can tell they made this using Ai *2026-07-07* Update: I see that they now have version 2. The below review is for this version I will go try the second version. This is for this specific game > It could be fun but there’s not enough to do, didn’t see any drops for items or armor and I can tell they used ai to build this **Developer response:** The aim was to create a fairly simple core game loop as an incremental game that could be completed in a few weeks. While drops/items/armor would expand the concept, it would also turn this into every other game on the app store, which I was trying to avoid. Thanks for trying out the game! ### 1/5 — Can tell they made this using Ai *2026-05-04* It could be fun but there’s not enough to do, didn’t see any drops for items or armor and I can tell they used ai to build this ### 2/5 — Ai slop *2026-06-23, version 1.1.2* Creators first game any they’ve made it in a couple of prompts. Lazy and doesn’t understand game design ### 2/5 — What’s the point *2026-06-18, version 1.1.2* The UI and sprites look nice but when you get past that and realise it’s just auto fighting monsters, waiting till you die, get stronger from death and repeat. What’s the point really? No gear or loot system to make it interesting. They’ve added idle since the last review, but idle games are overdone and littered all over the AppStore.. I actually downloaded because I thought it wasn’t idle ### 2/5 — Not bad *2026-04-26* Not bad but there isn’t a whole lot to do and it doesn’t seem to matter whether I do my fights with one hero or another. Sure the stats are different during the fight but like I can just fight with my bandit and use it to level up my beggar, that’s odd. Also the only way to get rank points it seems is to just die quickly which is also odd. Also half the time it doesn’t count my offline time **Developer response:** Appreciate the feedback, thanks for playing! Offline progress was added with an update! ### 3/5 — Middling *2026-06-11, version 1.1.1* There’s vet something decent here but it’s oddly paced with engaging content at times and nothing to do at other times. ### 3/5 — Meh *2026-05-13* Good game, incremental as the game title states and the only issue I’ve encountered (as multiple others have stated) is that the game’s offline gains are bugged - most of the time you just don’t get anything after idling for several hours. Coding for the game seems to be off a bit regarding this. Other than that… it’s enjoyable. ### 3/5 — I want to like it, but… *2026-05-04* This app has had many updates promising to fix the offline progress bug, but none of them have worked. Makes progression insanely slow unless the app is open all the time. **Developer response:** Sorry for the delays - should actually be fixed now! Thanks for playing! ### 3/5 — Confused *2026-04-26, version 1.0.11* I bought the Support Coffee pack but I didn’t receive my renown. There is no where to email for the issue? ### 3/5 — Good premise but… *2026-04-17* As some have pointed out, not getting offline progress after some hours apart sucks. But the game is good! As a fellow incremental enjoyer this has the potential for greatness! Currently the gameplay loop doesn’t have any friction to make me want to do more than sit in one location for leveling and then going forward just to die to get the meta progression. Rinse repeat. My thought on a possible change (and i have only played for about a day) could be that your health doesn’t regenerate until you defeat the boss. Causing more tension and decisions on which class to play as because: Currently the ‘best’ class for gaining progression is the rogue because they take more damage (because the shield one’s mitigation lowers the overall health progression since the calculation is based on damage taken) and you get the damage boost. Since defeating connects to lowering of prices, overall they have the best progression. If the health was more of an issue during the entire location then the build up with the shield would make sense. Hope these thoughts are more constructive than annoying and wish you great things with the game or other projects going forward! **Developer response:** This is great feedback! Always appreciated! Thanks for playing. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Meh *2026-07-07* Good game, incremental as the game title states and bug-free. Used to be a bug whenever idling progress wouldn’t accumulate but developer quickly fixed it. Game has lots to do so get to installing! **Developer response:** Offline progress should be fixed now. Let me know if any further issues. Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Great Incremental game *2026-06-11* For those who love incremental rpgs like melvor etc this is a great, completely free, game. Developer is very active and quickly fixes any reported bugs as well as being open to ideas for additional content. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Great gem *2026-06-09* I appreciate that this is a free to play with no ads game. I’ve bought a couple of the supporter packs just to support the developer. Curious if there are plans to increase the hero max level beyond 100. I’m on echo eight I have been stuck there for a couple weeks. Hope this game keeps going. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! And yes, definitely plans to have further post-game content in an upcoming update. Stay tuned! ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-06-04* It is one of my favorite idle games. It is definitely a long haul idler which I enjoy the most. I think the developer “gets it “ when it comes to the genre of games. Highly recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words! ### 5/5 — Beaten but not forgotten *2026-06-04* Happy to say I’ve beaten the base game and all the subsequent content. Being the dev’s first released game, it’s got that charm of not having everything prefect, but it’s pretty close to what I want from a quick hit incremental. The dev is super responsive and welcomes community feedback. A major plus for these smaller games. Example: Offline mode didn’t exist on release, now it does. +he’s learning and fighting all the edge cases for anyone having issues with it working properly. And expanding it soon to 24 hours rather than 8 all because of the feedback. For these reasons: It’s a 5 star banger of a simplistic idle game. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Simple, no ads, own pace *2026-05-20, version 1.0.13* So glad I stumble into this simple and ad free game where I can grow at my own pace with straightforward mechanics! Responsive dev and chill game. Well done! ### 5/5 — Great game, could use more *2026-04-26* I love the premise of this game. Would be cool to have additional features like special dungeons, equipment, special buffs, really any feature would add to this already great experience ### 5/5 — Offline gains not calculating *2026-04-11* Just started a few days ago, so far I’m enjoying this idle game - im running into an issue where the offline gains do not calculate or add. I’ll close the app, open it up 4-5 hours later, after the initial loading screen it won’t show any offline gains whatsoever. This happens about twice per day - thank you **Developer response:** This bug was fixed shortly after your review! Thanks for playing! ### 5/5 — Absolutely love this game! *2026-04-10* I highly recommend giving it a try!! **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! ### 4/5 — Great Game, 1 issue *2026-05-25* I want to love this game. But every time I lose 8 hours of progress for no reason I want to delete it and never come back. **Developer response:** Thanks for playing! Offline progress should be fixed.
