So far it's been quite fun. Different classes. Progression is quite slow so there's no huge leaps in numbers suddenly, at least not at this point (My academy level is 52 so I've opened the Abyss trials but haven't completed the first one yet). I like the grind for different kind of materials that'll help you customize your heroes. Skill books, equippable gear and permanent stat boosts are probably the 3 main things. I like the active part of the game which has you micro manage your heroes. They'll do the fighting but almost everything is up to you, basically making you a Guild Master that sends adventurers on their journeys. What I DON'T like is that there's still text left untranslated. I can almost every one of them from the context and it hasn't been a problem but still... One other thing is the windows/boxes that you open up. Some of them you can get a good look at you if you just scroll your screen to the side so the whole window comes into view. But there are also those ones that are locked onto your screen so there's no way, as far as I know, to see the full window. This is awful and needs to be fixed yesterday. One minor nitpick I have is that it would be nice to have some information on new things like skills or enemies. You'll see all sorts of things you'd wish you could just click on and gain more info but no, you'll be left with unanswered questions still. But overall, I'm liking the game. Definitely one of the top idlers out there.

Leaving a review after 100% the game. The game is as expected, an idler most of the time ESPECIALLY at the end if you really want to push for 100% completion, for my playtime, roughly 60hrs was put in just to get the last few achievements, it is mostly time constraint, without any spoilers, you will know it when you get to that point. NOTE: Some text are still not translated, but they are minor, a bit annoying, but it is there, and you can guess what they mean, for example, if you are trying to learn a scroll that is already maxed out, a msgbox on chinese will show up, probably saying that the character already has max stats on that scroll. For the price, I'll still recommend it, especially if its on sale, it does what it is supposed to be, an idler game.

I recommend this game — I had a great time playing it in the background, and it really shines as an idle experience with its own unique atmosphere. The game has a lot of potential, as long as the developer continues to actively expand the content, which currently does come to an end at a certain point. Right now, there are 3 classes, each with 2 subclasses. In the early game, this provides a lot of fun and experimentation when building your party. Later on, the lack of variety becomes noticeable — you end up running a tank, 4 fire mages, and a healer, and you can clear everything all the way to the final boss. The early game feels slow, but rewarding. The mid-game mostly turns into waiting for enough money or items to upgrade your units and push through the next difficulty threshold. Despite that, the gameplay loop remains enjoyable, especially as a background game. The biggest strength of the game is the developer’s dedication — small updates are released every few days, fixing bugs, improving balance, and occasionally adding new features or small bits of content. The game definitely has its own vibe, and I would really love to see future additions such as leaderboards or other forms of interaction with other players. I truly hope that this small desktop game will grow into a fully developed idle RPG in the future, and I’m rooting for the creators all the way.

Great little idle game that plays itself while you do other things, where you can check in on your heroes' progress every now and again, buy upgrades, craft items and gear etc. It does slow down a bit after like 50 hours, but honestly what do you expect for a 5 dollar game? It's got plenty of content for the price already.

It's fun! Though it's idle, I'm more hands on to play waiting for every progress specially the need to get technology for auto summon of monsters. Very enjoyable so get yours while it's on sale. Additional Review after finishing the game: The game is really good and really enjoyable despite some issues with translation. My only request if possible is to add additional level as after finishing the game, the following level of challenges are getting too difficult as the heroes you have are capped at Level 45. Probably giving additional level or giving continuous progress will be beneficial for the longevity of the game.
