Good game if u like slow ones. Nice story characters and items. First run is slow but after the first one it gets better. best advice: save bb arrows for prince.Would recommend.

I enjoy restarting games and playing them different. This game allows you to do that as an aspect of the game. You get buffs and can choose a new build for the next time. I highly recommend this game as you can sit there for hours playing actively or you can walk away and let it xp grind for itself. This is one of my favorite games that I first played on mobile before half of the map was open. I plan on playing it for a long time.

This is a really bad idle game, but in fact it is a great RPG game with speedrun-able replay-ability. The biggest failing point that this studio decided is to categlorize this game into an idle game. This is a grinding RPG game with speedrun potential! If you consider this game as a RPG game, it is in fact a good game in my opinion!

Its a great game, that i played on a mobile years ago. Now its finished and im happy to play it again. New content and cloud-saves for steam are great here. For people who says that this game has slow progression: Its right, because its an idle game. You make some build, figure strategies and leave it be on the second monitor while you play other games, work, eat or walk (or for the whole night). It rewards you when you come back (yes, no offline progression, leave it working, huh) and you progress further. This game has its charm and i love for the atmoshpere. Its my cup of tea.

The game being cheap is covering for a lot here. This game has a ton of issues, but ultimately it gets a positive. Issue #1: It's a ported mobile game and it shows. Not many, but two microtransactions that are more expensive than the game itself, you could watch an ad to have those for free on mobile, for 30 minutes. But on steam, no ads, so just flat cost for permanent. Which is fine, but expensive for all you get, which isn't a lot. Issue #2: The character model is hideous and not customiseable at first, it gets better later. Changing armour does not change the model, you can be in full plate and still look like you're wearing nothing. You cannot choose male or female, you cannot change your hair or eyes or whatever. You're stuck with the base character who is so unloved by the devs they didn't even give him a name. He is just "Boy." Even Kratos' son has a name for all the use it gets. Issue #3: This is an idle game, some might argue it's not, but they're wrong. You have to be idle for a ton of this game. So why is that an issue? There's no offline progress. None at all. Not even the pitiful two hour cap that a lot of mobile games are doing now. There's just no offline progress. I leave it on in the background while I'm doing other things, but I still turn my computer off when I sleep. Which is a good 5-6 (I don't get enough sleep D=) hours of the game doing nothing. And for an idle game, that totally sucks! Issue #4: The writing is quite poor. I'm not saying the story sucks, that's a matter of opinion, objectively, the writing is poor. I don't know if they used google translate for the dialogue or maybe they're just not very good at English. The dialogue makes sense for the most part, but it's poorly written. Issue #5: You have to grind a LOT to progress. There's an achievement for beating the game in 9 hours, which seems extremely unlikely, There's a new game plus though, that helps... a bit. I'm currently at 33 hours 25 minutes and sure, I've not taken the most efficient rout, but I'm still really far from the end of the game. Early game there was an enemy that, if I'm honest, I probably still cannot beat. I had to skip it by leaving combat whenever it appeared. (It looks like a child who is part tree, you'll know when you get there.) It's possible to skip really difficult enemies, but it sucks that you have to so much, especially with no offline progression. So why am I recommending this game? Well, to put it bluntly, it's cheap. It's pretty bug free, which is a huge plus. The games problems are not errors, they're just issues that I have with the game. If you do play it, I recommend including the price of the first DLC into the cost of the game. (Warrior fairy) because it will help you a huge amount. Without it you'll have to grind roughly twice as much. I also recommend joining the games discord, as the people there can help a lot. But man this game does have a lot of issues. Hopefully some day they are seen to, the devs are still releasing content for this game... So there's hope.
