👍 Strengths

29 reviews find it fun and engaging as an idle game, with some enjoying the progression and a few saying it is busier than the idle tag suggests. 12 praise the strategic depth of builds and synergies between classes and gear, and Gameplay ranks 1377th of 1396. 12 reviews argue that the price is fair enough, with paid items mostly cosmetic and a small purchase going a long way.
