Only took about 3 hours to 100%. It would be nice if there was a bit more variety or specialization in the skill tree and it gets a bit boring after a while but over all it's decent. There doesn't seem to be any bugs or defects which is always nice however support for ultrawide would make it look a bit better. Would still purchase knowing all of this in advance. *Edit* I missed that you need to complete both modes for 100%. Rush mode is boring and grindy, luckily it only took 1.1 hours to complete. I really wish you didn't have to play it at all.
6.9/10 - This is an incremental game, and it delivers just that. It isn't mind blowing or innovative, but I enjoy incremental games, especially shorter ones where I can get that grind fix in just a few hours and complete it. Towards the end you really start to notice the power, and then you hit the last bit, and that feels like a bit of a slog, but not terrible. My biggest complaint is losing the mouse.
