Very Nice!

Used to not get stale before W3. The new character unlock levels make the game horribly slow even at world 2. Wouldn't recommend anymore.

At the beginning of this year I would have recommended this game, hell I would have said it is one of the best Idle games in the moment. It has lots to do, there is lots of thing to idle, it was very free to play friendly, the only purchase needed was a 5$ auto loot and even then you can play it differently without it.

As of now, free to play has gone out of the window, you now get a limit of how many bosses you can kill for gems a day (capped to around 1 hours of boss killing, previously was uncapped so about a little over 20 times of a difference - that endgame people capitalized for months and months). In world 2 post office, where you would be getting your main bulk of Colosseum tickets in the past is now at least 20 times more rarer to get from it, at least 5 minutes of pressing buttons 400 times and you might see one - which 99.99% of the people won't ever do now. He also added world 5 and 6 Colosseum with the latest update, which cost 10 or 30 respectively (which with the post office nerf, will take you 4 days or 10 days of waiting for one run previously a mid game or barely mid game player would be able to do 3 times a day or once a day)
The as big of a problem or bigger problem is how He did not mention both of this nerfs on the patch notes, meaning that he does not have accountability also we don't know if or when those nerfs happen unless somebody from the community notices it. There was Drop Rate nerf for candy drops apparently though it is much more harder to notice if it has actual happened.

There is no way you can buy all the good things from the Fear Of Missing Out Shop (that stays for a duration of one or two updates - updates are not every x time, so sometimes it lasts for a week or sometimes for a month) while properly buying the forever gem shops. The forever shop by itself, even at 2000 gems per week (which is roughly how high you can get it now for limited items only (ones that don't ever restock - those that do restock, it is easily 3 digits a month, that does not include using a premium item stopwatch - which previously with hard work you could) will take you well well over year. If we include the FOMO shop, then you can multiple that time by several times at minimum. This current shop if you only buy the things that are good/must to have has a cost of ~4300 gems.

Do you remember the part about the "only purchase is needed was auto loot for 5$"? well there is a 20$ pack that has something that non spenders can ever get like auto loot, but just a lot more broken than auto loot. The pack lets you bypass limits of how much you can hold in your inventory. actually it does not require you to have anything in inventory, in fact, it gets broken and more broken as time goes, and it is not linear, it is exponential, probably better to put it at linearly exponential.

Hopefully this helped you a bit with your decision of whether to play this or not, whether you never played this, thinking of picking it back up or not sure of what to do right now.
