    Satisfying, easy idle game. BUT The ending is disappointing and anti-climatic. No warning that you have met the final boss, and once you beat it, the game is effectively over. No further progress possible, for no apparent reason. Zero replayability because you cannot reset the game, and even uninstall/reinstall doesn't work.

    A cute one that can probably be completed in just 5-10 hours with some active play, I have as much as I do because I left it running while I slept. Your manual turret does decent damage so it can encourage some live play. I believe there's some potential balance issues, as I 100%'d it as is with only just a few of the prestige upgrades, so there's effectively not much more game left and no incentive to explore those prestiges. It certainly leaves me wanting more, which is a good attribute for an idle game. But certainly worth the few bucks that it is, and was a welcome companion as I deal with some tooth pain.

    It is what it says on the tin, a zero stress idle defense game. Interesting enough to play actively but if you'd prefer to have it on your side monitor and check it every few hours (or days) that's a reasonable way to play too. I'm a fan of good idle games and this, for me, falls into that category. Lately I've had trouble enjoying newer idle games due to lack of meaningful depth and I'm happy to have found this one. Give it a go if the price is agreeable to you, if you're an idle enjoyer I doubt very much you'll be disappointed here. EDIT: 8 hours in, still have stuff to do. As far as I'm concerned I got my money's worth. The guy who left a negative review saying he completed it in 2 hours is straight up lying. That is literally impossible unless he found a glitch and abused it or used cheat engine to give himself gold and why would you do that in a singleplayer game? Actual insane behaviour. Also, the developer has confirmed he is going to continue working on the game for the foreseeable future so we can expect more longevity in future playthroughs.

    Fun but pretty short. Weirdly the game doesn't give you enough prestige points to ever flesh out the tree and some unit upgrade choices feel like there's only one right choice (I'm looking at you cannons vs crossbows)

    Bombastic game. Didn't expect to be THAT MUCH FUN. > game running in a background > come back every few hours > get tons of resources > purchase new upgrades > feel yourself like an absolute gigachad for doing nothing > refuse to elaborate further > leave (a positive review)
