Scam game?
Looks like a carbon copy of Melvor Idle?

3. It has a party system for planets and dungeons making it a multiplayer experience.

There is a way to get coins in the game by using money, which will turn some people off, which is understandable. It is a way to monetize the game while keeping entry into it free.

So to call it a copy of Melvor Idle is wrong, but it has some similarities to it.

I couldn't get into Melvor at all. MWI feels very different, and it's fully online, with multiplayer cooperative content. Have fun making dumb claims all over steam though.

It's not nearly as good as Melvor. The business model kills it stone dead and the online focus essentially means you're investing in something that isn't going to stick around.

Hows that dumb? Cuz you are fan of this game? I wanted to ask exactly same question the moment i seen screenshots. It looks like another copy of Melvor.

Its like a Melvor, yea, but not just a copy, it has own way. Multiplayer and market is really very nice and killer feature for me. Game has many little good conviniet features (queue, market posting, in game wiki, chat, loadouts...) and I like to play it. Its more simple than Melvor, but Melvor blow up my mind, because so many things I should to do for doing another things more productive. Premium model is nice and no problem to buy a lot of prem currency with in game gold. Only one minus for me, that server 2 years old and I will not be in leaderboards anytime, but its not a big problem, because top players not earning 1000x more gold than me, just 3-6x I think. Anyway I recommend game if you like Melvor, its not time consuming.

Atleast play the game before making such a retarded comment.
nah, many games look similar, this one is free unlike Melvor and this one does not need premium sub to play unlike Idle Clans
I think this is combination of best features!
Def not a scam. Been playing for thee months online before the Steam release, didn't pay anything. It's fun. Cute art. Typically meme'y community, but it's all in fun.

First of all, thats a very rude statement. These types of games exist for a very long time like decades of years as browser games. There are to many like this. What melvor did is release it in steam, and in my personal preference its not good. Anyways this is not similar to melvor idle if you know the genre. Its like saying any fps game is carbon copy of each other.

Ty for everyone´s (almost) comments.

The game certainly has a lot of similarities with Melvor as it's also inspired by Runescape having played it on and off for 10+ years. It also has plenty of differences which other players have helped explain

Now I'd say some wording like "scam" and "carbon copy" is a bit harsh especially as the game is free. I will lock the thread now to prevent unnecessary drama or insults as there seems to be sufficient comments and clarifications, and the author have also marked an answer.
