How it feels
A lighthearted, hands-off resource-collection loop where you equip mercenaries and watch them bring back wealth with a comedic sci-fi flair.

What players say
Players are split: some enjoy the idle loop and pixel art, while many warn the anti-cheat is overly invasive and the game feels abandoned. Reviews note the rebirth system quickly grows repetitive with recycled planet content and heavy micromanagement.
