How it feels
A laid-back idle defense game where you watch automated heroes fight while you manage upgrades, research, and crafting at a relaxed pace.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the emergent depth and long-term pacing, while others find the early game painfully slow with heavy reliance on RNG hero picks. The prestige mechanic resets more progress than expected, and the game is described as 'very idle' despite requiring active clicks early on.
