### 5/5 — Favorite Forever

*2026-08-29*

best game i have ever played, been my favorite game for at least a decade!!!!!!!! Incomparable, never gets old. tons of content, awesome story, ongoing development, sooo satisfying! cannot say enough good things

### 1/5 — Offline glitches

*2026-08-03, version 2.7.13*

Great game but app regularly disregards offline time and ruins progress

### 5/5 — Best Ever

*2026-07-21, version 2.7.12*

Genuinely, the best game i have ever found for ios, never deleted or forgotten. Text based, simple design, sooo much content, frequent updates and reward codes. i dont know any other game that remotely compares except for theory of magic/arcanum which isnt even on ios

### 4/5 — Fun

*2026-06-17, version 2.7.10*

It’s fun. I don’t have many complaints aside from possibly wonky pacing and how for some endings I’m not sure what I need to achieve to get the actual ending.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-05-16, version 2.7.8*

I tried 3 times to play this game. Each time I start to make some progress the game just stops any offline gains. Since this is an incremental/idle that’s a HUGE problem that makes it so you can only progress while actively playing. I’m done, this is just a waste of time, this game is unplayable.

### 3/5 — Downgrade review to 3 star due to QoL

*2026-04-22*

This is like Arcanum Theory of Magic budget version. At the minimum theres wayy too much busy work you have to make 10 of, go into a menu to eat craft etc, make next 10,, EVERY darkritual (prestige).. Let us queue /smthn/ bro... give us higher resource caps than TEN. Giving resource storage on summons is horrible (which many resources dont have), now u have to enter yet another menu, dismiss, summon. Again every minute or 2 u have to go into 8 menus each time to grind each resource.. already upto 15 food items (which theres more) No real feeling of progress besides hitting those arbitrary resource/ food consumed limits. Everytime u do progress u have to hit destiny cap like 10 times to exhaust quest progress/ dialogue

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-02-19, version 2.6.5*

This game is a complete waste of time. It isn't fun at all and poorly explained. Anything else is worth your time.

### 5/5 — Innovative

*2026-01-21, version 2.6.5*

I struggle to understand communication because personal information seems irrelevant and alot of people don't seem interested in knowledge. You have opened my eyes to the storytelling potential of incremental games. Thankyou.

### 3/5 — Offline doesn’t calculate properly

*2025-12-19*

Overall the game is fun, the major problem I have is offline does not work.  I was trying to complete a skill up that says it should take 11 hours.  I would do other things on the phone, come back about once an hour.  After a 24 hours in real life, only about 5 hours in game was calculated.  Pretty terrible if the game has to be kept running the whole time for time to calculated properly.

### 5/5 — Read the guide

*2025-12-17*

This game is super fun, but there is a pretty steep learning curve. There is a fantastic guide on the Steam page, which I highly recommend. The guide explains some of the less intuitive aspects of the game. As other reviewers have pointed out, the offline functionality does not work correctly and is additionally discounted (base is 50%). If that feature worked correctly, this game would be way better. This game is a grind, but enjoyable.
