Community Insight:
Our friend put us onto this game we didnt like it at first put it picked up the pace and we love this game now! We have to thank our friend cause this game is the best.
When we started playing this in school, we didnt get very far in it. We think our highest level back then was around 1-2k. But after we quit and came back about a year ago, we have been hooked. Our highest level as of right now is 14.8k. Once you get 30 powers at once, thats when you realize that you need to combo your powers so they compliment each other. An easy combo we highly recommend is snowball transformation and phasing, then get a bunch of powers to increase your buffs durations. Now that we have ranted a little bit, the game is honestly really fun, makes you think and strategize more than any other game. Thats the way it kept us hooked, we kept trying to find new and broken combos to reach high levels in the fastest way possible. Overall, impeccable game, no need to improve.
This game is the only mobile game we can regularly come back to and stay interested in it. The mechanics just work incredibly well. Im a huge fan of idle games, but this one really takes the cake. Way more continually entertaining than miner tycoon or adcap or one of the big names. 10/10.
Its easy to pick up and understand, the mechanics are straightforward enough as far as idle games go. The fact that it has a story you can go through elevate it just so. We wish there was a little more tutorial maybe? We dont really know where Im getting gems from, we know when we look every now and then we have a few more than before but we dont really know how Im earning them :) other than that, its really fun and Im having fun.
Simple, but enough to entertain you.
We 100% the game every few months, delete the game and come back to 100% it again.
We redownloaded the game after a year.
A idle game where our choices matter! Thats all we ever wanted, played for 2 weeks and deleted it. This is what grinds should strive for.
But this one is an exception, its very simple yet offers different strategies and its overall the best time killer we have on our phone currently.
Theres something sort of compelling about this game, but there hasnt been an update in eleven months. This is pretty poor support.
As we stated, the game can be incredibly fun at times. One of the best idle games Ive played. It might even make your top 10 if you give it a chance however, we have a few gripes. 1) Typical idle game gems/shop/ads: alright, we are okay with minimal ads, and we CAN also be okay with a gem system where you can make your life easier by spending earned in-game currency especially since in this one, you can earn a gem for each achievement HOWEVER, these gems are also used for power re-rolls, which becomes relatively important as you progress. Though our BIGGEST complaint here, is that removing ads on this game costs $8.99. That is ridiculous. And dont get us started on the starter packs. The prices get outright egregious. The game can be fun, but these prices are absurd. 2) obvious gate keeping/progression hindering: There are moments where we have every right to progress, and try to crunch the numbers the best we can to beat a boss using our current build. As an example, we found a build that allows us to stack multiple attack speed, evasion, accuracy, general damage buffs, and enemy debuffs (not counting enemy power and gear removal on-hit. We were constantly insta-killed. Even when setting the stage back to a previous boss to farm those buff %s to stack in the millions, and set the stage back to the boss we were having trouble with for several seconds, the boss evaded absolutely every single attack we gave, until our beefed buffs gave out, and we were once again one-hit K.O.ed. Overall, we think this game would be fun as heck, if not for the previous statements also the UI DEFINITELY needs some tidying up.
Went to try playing today and it doesnt load up right at all. Went and tried turning off the phone and turning it on. Still nothing. Its just broken now.
This game is one of our favorite games whether Im in the plane chilling or bored this is always our go to game and the ads dont ruin the game.
We do enjoy the game and it is surprisingly complex. Though we feel like all the packs should come with remove ads. Instead of having to pay for example 8 or 9 for the starter pack. Then another 8 or 9 to remove ads. If anything out like 2-3 extra for the starter pack and add ad removal.
This game is so fun it is so cool to get different items to help in your battle with other and we think you should create a version two.
This game looks really bad when you look at it but after playing it for a while its great kind of complex and simple at the same time and it doesnt shove ads in your face like other games easy 5 stars.
Only complaint is that the cost to restock the shop seems to skyrocket whenever we go idle making it impossible to get better gear.
The ads are minimal. You can opt out or not choose them for the bonus they provide or whatever. You can also just turn that option off we think. A game with no ads forced on you is worth a real shot.
This game is so fun play it now.
Ive been playing this game for a few months now and Ive gotten through most of the content. Theres some kind of bug now that Ive gotten through all the rotation powers. Ive gotten enough mastery for 2 or 3 points for procedural powers, but when it clicks over we continue having zero points. We love this game. Please help us fix this issue so we can continue playing.
Game needs a balance update and need new content.
It keeps you interested, the powers are fun, the story is solid. Only problem is it is extremely slow. Ive had our phone idling on it for almost 24 hr now and Im only like 3x better than we started. It progresses at snails pace. Overall a good game.
Pros; cool powers and abilities. Nice multipliers. Con; costs for literally everything (gold/experience/time energy) increases wayyyyy too fast. Eventually (quite quickly) into a run cost of refreshing shop/buying gear costs too much then no use for gold. Same with experience and time energy also goes way too steep. Should have more options for those as far as upgrades too, 4 upgrades per? And always having 10 mobs and no stage skips is rough, like not even anyyyy mob reduction.
This is a game you can hand off to the kids, and watch in quiet wonder as a new interest in math blooms. Its not an educational game, not theres anything wrong with that. But the tactical advantages of your powers, and the potential price you may pay for them encourage critical thinking. It remains engaging throughout the time travel aspect of the game which lets you start anew. There are always new powers and power combos to play with. Many of the idle games Ive played grow inevitably stale, but Ive been enjoying this one for some time.
We almost never write reviews but this game is so good you need to try it. It's been running amazingly except for one big we found where it stops giving you rotation power points.
The level of detail in somethings is so nice! The story is easy and exciting to follow. Having a lovely time. Thank you.
Ive had this game for years, absolutely love it.
So when you start off you go fighting A NAKED GUY and its okay because its not showing the part so its fun just would like to start off with clothes still five stars fun game.
This is such a great idle game.The story is so good, the little characters are so cute fighting each other, and the superpowers never get old. We really recommend getting the game as long as you will not be annoyed with the awws.
Its a really good idle game but for us it kicks us out every few minutes, so if the devs can fix that its by far one of the best games(it is either way).
The character building in this with the power mechanics combined with equipment is truly unique to any idle game Ive played before. The game has a real story to tell with fun characters (and we say this only having reached level 51). This game gives you powers and equipment in random order so each run of the game, while taking advantage of the permanent prestige upgrades akin to any idle game, is vastly different from your last. Some runs youll prioritize a given stat, or multiply your xp/gold gain, making every run of this game feel like its own unique game. You wont regret playing it.
We downloaded this game today, and honestly its just really fun and easy. The storyline is interesting, and you can literally put however much effort into it as you want. Doesnt flood you with ads which we love, and free to play.
First off the game isnt full of ads like most these days the mechanics are pretty fun. Its pretty slow sometimes but it has a lot of promise for sure.
Just a simple and good game with really good story.
This stupid game has taken hours of our life, we will never get those backplease, give them back. But really, its a wonderfully built game that seems to embrace the fact that it knows what it is and has to make the best of it. Choices matter, but if you make the wrong one, just remember the code word, password1 and youll be all set. Its a game of light whimsy and the hard bitter truth. Whimsy comes in the form of a really well put together game that we enjoy. Hard truth comes in the fact that the wife seems to enjoy us more when Im focused on this game.
Great depth, great replay ability, definitely a great game. Our main issue however is that for no reason the correlation between the power menu and the next powers that you get just doesnt exist and ends up ruining our runs/experience.
When we have this game running it eats up our power faster than our mag safe charger can keep up. Although, we can put our phone into low power mode and that works. Only other issue we have is that offline blood gains are laughable we can get an entire nights offline blood progress in less than a minute. Im not sure if this is because of all our buffs or not.
The game is good and all but it crashes a lot but thats really only problem we see with the game.
Its good and its fun we have been addicted for a week.
Really been enjoying this game but we have experienced a lot of crashes, if you ignore that then it'll be a 5/5 game.
It keeps crashing when you try and watch a video and at random this game is very good and we dont want to see it fail.
Within the first week we had hit stage 1200. We unlocked some of the challenges and a lot of the superpowers. Ive boosted our character with the free gems and time travel points so it has better starting stats. Even able to get legendary gear guaranteed refresh. All that has done now is cap our progress at level 1000 if im lucky. When our character removes the enemys gear and all but one superpower and it still takes 5 minutes to land a shot something is broken. Which may be the problem because sometimes our stats or the enemy are listed with stars, asterisks, apostrophes or other random characters.
Game crashes every few minutes, please fix.
Youll make good progress at first, but the rng nature of the power selection system makes it so that you need to get lucky in order to have a build that properly scales. Not really many options outside of slamming your head against the law of large numbers until you get the rolls you need.
We normally NEVER review games but we are for two reasons! Number 1: Im the 100th review. Number 2: This game blew us away. Now its not the best game in the universe, what we expected was just another time killing stupid do the same thing over and over again to get higher number game, but we got this. Theres so much greatness here we cant fully write it all. So Ill just say this, Thank you for making such a great game.
Potentially allow iPhone users into the beta.
Hopefully lutz will update App Store game to beta cause android got it.
We originally tried this game a while back and it seemed simplistic and we gave it about 10 minutes before erasing it. DO NOT DO THAT. We gave it another shot, and it is very well written to become more complex. Once youve unlocked a lot of challenges, and time energy it REALLY takes off and we cant put it down. Doesnt kill you with ads. You have the option to watch ads for some bonuses, but we havent experienced ANY forced ads like other games. This got us to happily pay for no ads to support the game. If you dont want to pay, the ads dont ruin the gameplay. This is probably our second favorite idle game. Easy 5 star rating from us.
We absolutely love the game, but the last update made it so we can be in the game for about a minute, then it crashes. The game truly deserves 5 stars and we also am a fan of your others games. We would rather not lose our streak of playing daily, please fix it.
