How it feels

You tap or idle through endless monster waves, leveling up and upgrading gear in a steady, low-stakes grind.

What players say

Players are split, some enjoy it for achievements and killing time, but many call it a bare-bones mobile-style idler at a steep price. It reportedly hogs CPU and GPU even minimized, has bugs, and does not idle when the game is closed. Resolution problems are noted.
