“Very fun incremental game with a lot ever-expanding content to get through. Yes you can swipe to progress faster, but progression feels good F2P and I've never felt the need to spend in order to have fun. The "skill" if…”

— a player, Steam review · 413 hrs played“Once a great game, but that was years ago, every update brings new p2w content, each time more and more powerful and all the new mechanics count on you having bought it, meaning barely to no progression for the f2p or the people who don't pay that much, i really loved this game…”
