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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 4/5 — Enjoyable *2025-12-03* This is an enjoyable game and has different tasks and stories to allow you to enjoy the game and engage with the world. I am having an issue however, the auto-level isn’t applying more than 1 seed of each type at a time. This is after I’ve upgraded the auto level feature. Please fix this as it is kinda a pain to have to tap so many times to level up, especially at later levels Edit: I figured out what it was. I was simply missing a detail. That’s my bad. Great game! I love it. ### 4/5 — Could be perfect, but it’s not. *2025-05-15, version 2.4.4* The mechanics in this game are really cool and I love the little bits of story I unlock as I advance. I absolutely despise the way this is so obviously just built for PC. It has instructions about pressing the E key, holding shift and a whole bunch of stuff that you cannot do on a phone! I’m begging you, please make a GUI that’s made for phone screens! The struggle I have trying to tap a button 1mm from the bottom of the screen and not have the phone think I’m swiping up is unexplainable and pretty constant once you get far enough into a run. This has become somewhat of an accessibility issue for me as well, as I have fine motor control problems and find the buttons needlessly tiny and difficult to aim at correctly even without the phone misinterpreting my gestures. ### 3/5 — Incremental Without Offline *2025-03-17* The game was engaging enough, for an incremental game. Even had bosses where you had to figure out their weaknesses and how to build a party to protect against their special attacks. Different rebirths give you parameters to play within, allowing you to see different content (eventually). Where the game fell apart, for me, was when they introduce equipment that needs hours of resources dumped into it in order to craft. I’d unlocked the automation of moving resources, I queued up harvesting spirit water, and overnight my logs told me I harvested the water while offline 150ish times. (Water harvests once every 7 seconds, so this number was already way too low). But then after the 50% offline progress reduction, I only gained 80 progress towards the item. A little over 10 minutes of progress after 6 hours. The game gets far too grindy to have to babysit the game actively, to have the offline function not work makes it take even longer than it should. ### 2/5 — Unfortunate bottleneck on iPad *2024-08-05, version 2.2.10* I have gotten a ways into the game, and then I am unable to take summons into battle. I have them levelled fairly high, but there is no way to select them, and there are no guides on the internet that address this problem on iPad. ### 3/5 — Can’t play on older iPhone or iPads *2024-06-24, version 2.2.9* Please update iOS requirement ### 3/5 — Add accessibility? *2024-06-23, version 2.2.9* Just wondering if you could add accessibility support for things like voiceover so visually impaired and blind people can play your game? There are guidelines and directions on the Apple developer website to do this. ### 5/5 — Incremental done right *2023-12-11, version 2.2.0* This game has kept me entertained for over a year now. Never seen a single forced add, devs are attentive to feedback, overall a very enjoyable experience. Story is rich, gameplay gets deeper than it seems. ### 5/5 — Incredible depth, this is an actual game *2023-08-30, version 2.1.11* I like it a lot, it has a story that I’m actually interested in, and a party tactic system that is fun. ### 5/5 — My last review was wrong. You can double click *2023-08-26, version 2.1.10* This game rocks ### 5/5 — It a slow pace game *2023-04-25* In the early game it progresses slow and it get repetitive but since it simply an idle game and RPG mixed together which means when you get nothing else to do or just gets stuck. You can just idle and do something else. In general it a good game if you really don’t got much to do in life. I will personally recommend you to play it as a side game. Playing it every 1-2 day after you get through the early stages of the game will be a good idea so you won’t be frustrated and bored out during the progress. Idle games are usually never meant to be fast paced anyways, keep that in mind ### 4/5 — slow-paced *2023-02-01* it took a lot of dedication and effort to get to where i am now and even then, i’m stuck in place in terms of progress. you don’t get anywhere quickly and when it starts to pick up speed there’s still many things holding you back. that being said, it burns hours at a time and keeps me preoccupied when i’m bored. it’s incredibly dull without any imagery but still manages to grab my full attention and the hope of getting more story has kept me from abandoning it. i both hate and love this game. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Offline glitches *2026-08-03, version 2.7.13* Great game but app regularly disregards offline time and ruins progress ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Maybe it’s fine on PC? *2025-08-16, version 2.5.7* Maybe the game is fine on a computer, but it’s not on mobile. There isn’t enough UI feedback to see what’s happening in the game, making it impossible to figure out how it works unless you already know how it works. ### 1/5 — Ehh game *2024-07-28, version 2.2.10* I was having fun enjoying the game until it deleted my save the had all my data on it ### 1/5 — No vert orientation *2024-03-30, version 2.2.6* Fix this glaring bug and I’ll re review. ### 1/5 — Buggy *2022-10-09, version 2.0.5* Buggy ### 1/5 — Idle game that can’t run in background *2022-09-28, version 2.0.4* FUN ### 1/5 — Chopping wood. *2022-06-27* You will spend most of your time chopping wood, turning wood into firewood, and selling firewood. When you aren’t doing that, you’re going to praying. If I tried to make the world’s most boring RPG, I don’t think I could have done a better job than this festering dung pile. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game so completely devoid of enjoyable game play. You will spend days grinding to unlock the next area, and when you do, it’s so overpowered that you have no choice but to keep grinding lower levels to be successful. It’s a fever dream of three steps forward, two steps back. Seriously, if I was being paid to play this game, I’d find a better job, and I’d take a pay cut. I cannot stress enough how miserable it is to play this game. Here’s a short list of things I’d rather spend my time doing: Scrubbing a toilet Mowing the yard Painting a house Reading the dictionary Doing the dishes Steam cleaning carpets Chopping actual firewood Cleaning out the fire pit Scrubbing burnt marshmallow from skewers Going to church Emptying ash trays Folding laundry Mopping Cleaning windows Changing a tire on the side of a busy Highway Using an outhouse Helping grade schoolers with their homework Filing my taxes ### 1/5 — Doesnt work half the time *2022-05-21, version 2.0.2* Doesnt always give offline rewards... Doesn't allow you to flip the screen (it is upsidedown in my ipad dock)... If phone screen times out it just stops until you time it out. It isnt an afk game because you rarely get the afk rewards... which makes it an afk game you have to constantly tend to.... or buy progression You need to fix it... and quit resetting the reviews after you get some negative reviews. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Acquired Taste *2025-05-26* If you like semi-active incrementals, this one is for you. Its a lot of fun but I will admit: It becomes a job. The games progress is tied a lot to your own actions rather than optimizing an idle strategy. Its hard to even call it an idle game in the beginning, however as time goes on the idle aspects increase and it becomes less of a job. Then you unlock more and more and you have a lot more meaningful decisions to make to progress. Great game, just an acquired taste. ### 5/5 — Love The Game *2025-01-07* The game is amazing although it seems like you will hit a dead end you just need to try everything. Also amazing how it still gets updated love the game hope it keeps getting better. ### 5/5 — I really love this game *2024-09-09* My only issue is when I reincarnate, I am locked out of gaining the first action point out of the first “fight father” dungeon was wondering if you guys could take a look at that bug ### 5/5 — This game has surpassed my expectations! *2024-06-16, version 2.2.8* This fresh cake of a game was addictive but also something else. The ability to just afk with it being a sole purpose of skills and I’ve not played for a whole year and yet it did everything in that time not a second of time lost unlike most other games. I from personal experience saw this game on crazy games and was incredibly happy with it even if I lost my save I was happy knowing more about the game, the mechanics are complex but that highly expected high quality graphics is no where, making this game run smooth and more enjoyable as your not just in a dig of rpg it’s it’s own game. I’m hoping this game can grow further into a popularity level and even several others games that display graphics is not all are my favourite games so it’s a five star here. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2024-05-11, version 2.2.8* Is fun -Me ### 5/5 — Great game bug maybe *2024-02-16, version 2.2.3* I have lost access to greed almost entirely unless I hit add all I can’t get examine to light up I can still hit add all though --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
