Worth it?
Liked the demo, only had a small sample. Is it worth almost $26 AUD? I felt like I’d pay $10 when I wishlisted it and waited for release.

Worth it, but not that much

Thank you. I think I’ll be doing a long wait for a favourable discount, on this one.

Kinda worth it. I find that the quests get obnoxious after a while. I wish it just saved my quest progress instead of [mild spoiler] resetting every time you ascend.

It gets annoying and lame spending 8 minutes per quest waiting for them to finish, and they make enough of a difference that sometimes it is required. It'd be better if the game was just like "yeah you've done this quest 2 times, from now on when you reset a run it's auto finished".

Considering that you have to do 10 or even 20 quests at 8 minutes of waiting a pop, you're looking at spending literal hours doing the same d*mn thing you've already done.

I'm okay with doing that at the start of a run for my civilization, but having to do it for quests too is just annoying.

Overall I'd say the experience is a 6/10, whether that's worth $26 AUD is up to you.

Hopefully the dev will patch this and adjust it but I'm not holding my breath.

plus you don't just have to wait for one quest to start the next, but you have to wait for all FOUR of each tile of quest to be completed. Which rapidly spirals into a mandatory wait of around an hour with little you can do about it. Even marko polo only cuts out half the wait time, if he's still in the game...And your opportunities to get unique heros like him seem to be somehow even MORE limited.

I prefered the demo's handling of it, if you got in over your head by doing 50 quests at once that was on you.

Yes worth it. Very fun little game. Also the clicking is not bad, you can hold down A and S instead of having to click.

You guys are aware that you can speed up to 400% right?

At the current insane price point. absolutely not

Yeah hitting + increases game speed, plus you can have more then JUST one quest going at a time. Just stack em all and watch the chaos on 400% speed lol

its a clicker game

got it for 15€ and am on the fence about refunding.

It's alright, but paying 15€ for a clicker still feels like a mistake.
