A bold new take on the base-building-automation genre. My biggest critique would be that the runs are a bit too short to justify creating the super high tier units, you can reliably win just by spamming a ton of low-tier units with much less hassle. And by the time you DO get high-tier units being reliably made, the game is basically over. I think this game would really benefit from a 4th stage to conquer during runs. That all being said, my main complaint is that I want to play the game more. So that should tell you how fun the game is.

This is not a game for hardcore factory builder fans, this is a game for rogue-like fans who like factory builders but get tired of them once the scale gets too big.

Hello, I want to share my thoughts on this game and what I think could be improved. Tldr: I like this game but it still needs some work. Explaining what I would personaly like. Don't forget it's in early access, so if you buy it don't expect a perfect game. As stated I realy love the idea of the gameplay and art. But at the same time there are some things that feel boring/not that engaging in the gameplay. What do I mean with that? There are the two different "Characters", the "Minionmancer" and the "Spellcaster". While playing the "Spellcaster" you can still participate in combat, but playing the warrior (after gaining the "+0.5 output" upgarde) just lets you watch. There is no reason to watch the battle except that it looks cool in later stages. In the meantime you could just improve your factory, while not being rewarded for watching or punished for not watching, because you can't intervene even if you would watch. My suggestion for "improving"(its preference as well tbf): Add "Minion enhancements" for the "Minionmancer". If I think of a "Minionmancer" I think of someone who summons them and also enhances them. With simple active "Enhancements" the Player could actively participate in the combat again. They could be something to craft like the spells or something to unlock and equip. Examples for possible "Enhancements" - Instant summon: Summon every Hero x (5 / Unit spawncooldown) times. - Minion rage: Your units deal twice/thrice... as much dmg for x time. - Minion Camp: Place a flag where Heros spawn. You may also drag the flag around. The possibilities are (almost) endless. One thing what I think could be fun would be items u could equip or/and being able to select one research tree before starting a run. At the moment I would just restart a run if I get a research tree that I don't like or that is not that good imo. There could be for example an item that lets the player choose that. Items could be just buffs or changes (buff something but nerf/alter something else). With this change the player would have again more agency. And for items some suggestions again: - Rainbow Motives: Every motive output is random but outputs 300%. - Master Painter: You can only place a limited amount of objects but your paintings are instantaneously. - Rushed Uprank: Your heros/spells count twice for hero upgrades but you gain less xp and heros take 1.5 times longer to be deployed. - Sage of Greed: Your output for EVERYTHING is slowed down by 50%. Gain 200% XP from all sources. Gaining an upgrade buffs the output everywhere 10%. Last Thing, just want to share a "Character" idea: Necromancer: Summons skelletons as warriors/archers/mages/dragons... Can sacrifice his "Heros" in combat to cast powerful spells or summon even stronger "Heros" (20 skelletons -> skelleton dragon?) Dwarf: Could have a turret you could equip with different weapons maybe. Active mechanism could change the weapon equiped on the turret. Upgrading the turret could increases dmg, range and firerate. Other idea for dwarf is you could place turrets on mous click in combat that attack the enemies. I don't know if someone will look at this but well. If you did and read everything, thank you for your time. (And if you are someone from the dev team, thank you for the game)

Great game. Very unique take on the factory and deck-building roguelike genre. I'm personally NOT a huge factory fan, but I love the fantasy card/deck-building aspect of this, and the 30+ class combos (think final fantasy tactics style trees) is super fun to figure out. Pros: --Fresh genre mash-up of Factory and deck-building genre --Great animation style. --"Job Trees" Areas to Improve: --Some of the upgrades/artifacts/relics feel mid / mediocre, especially with the "arcane knowledge" (permanent buffs). --The clicks within the auto-battle feel kindof pointless. In general, the auto-battle portion feels unfinished. It need more direction, goals, and clearer goals. Otherwise, it just feels repetitive. --The timer between rounds can be pretty short (even with "Focus Time" stacks to slow it down), and later on you can really screw yourself up if you didn't plan aheaed with factory layout. For people like me who arent great at factory games, this adds an unnecessary pain to the game. I don't know that the timer is even necessary?? I feel like it adds a forced artifical pressure to the game and takes away the fun / optimization point that factory games have. Maybe find a way to balance the challenge of the fights better so that the timer isn't necessary. --it's unclear how # of units produced in the factory stage affeccts unit count in battle phase. --More variety of relics and artifacts would be helpful. Also the research trees frequently feel uninteractive and not very important. To those considering the game, I am giving a lot of feedback because the game is in active EA and I hope the devs consider some of this. Even if there are aspects that dont feel perfectly refined (like the combat phase, or the relics and research trees), this game is genuinely fun. If you like the genre, it's an 8 or 8.5 / 10.

If you are into factory building and tower defense type games this will probably be right down your alley. It adopts the slay the spire formula with picking encounters which makes every run different and exciting. Loving the freeplay option that allows you to pause while building without stressing about the timer.
