sort: go back
good game. maybe have a speed up button?
@ENDAHBLAZE the game does actually have a speed up option, but it's locked behind a couple of research upgrades in the library.
I will admit that I did not remember the game being this slow at the start.
One of the few game demos where I actually ended up thinking it was worth the money. Bought it back in March or so.
While I got my money's worth, the gameplay did end up growing a bit long in the tooth. The requirements for heroes' later tiers (from duplicate copies) got rather silly.
Contrary to my expectations the game didn't end up adding more heroes after release. Pretty sure nothing ever hinted at this being a possibility, but it seemed like a logical addition to the game to me.
All in all, it's a nice game, not really my cup of tea, but I could understand others enjoying it. For me, I find there's a mismatch between how slow the game is and how active you have to be (even when your heroes are levelled up enough to handle waves without your input). i.e. With how few resources you get per wave, it implies it's more of a second-monitor game. But then if you don't look at it every couple of minutes, you won't progress to the next wave.
I personally would get a lot more invested if speed-up (at least x2 or x4) and auto-choosing rewards/hero levels wasn't locked behind hundreds of waves of resources. Keep the filtering in research, sure, but at least let us pick at random from the start so we can actually play idle-y and not have to pay attention to it every minute or two. The use of multiple currencies and a gacha in this sort of game feels... wrong. I can't dock you for it, but with those mechanics, plus gating the idle-ness in an idle-focussed game behind a few hours of progress... it just veers towards scummy behaviour, especially if the full game has in-game purchases.
As things stand, it entertained me for a couple of hours and I unlocked level 3, but I'm not about to sit here for another hour to get to level 4 and (maybe?) get enough paper to unlock relics.
would be nice if you could see the skilltree of each hero (even if its only after you unlock the skill in the library) on each character's page
@Bingus there is end run in settings while in battle on top right of screen, its called retreat and its very wide button that you cant miss it
played more 'roll the dice' than the actual game
I think i've softlocked myself! Difficulty 3 wave 70 using icy, jax, jest, and danta. Icy freezes the boss while jax and jest push it back, so it cant reach us. However, the boss has too much hp and regeneration for me to do damage! I guess it isnt a true soft lock because over 5 minutes i've done a sliver of his health bar. Anyway it just would be nice to add a 'end run' button so this doesnt happen.
I think it is a decent game, but it feels weird how some heroes feel much stronger than others. I wanted to try my new hero Finn and it was basically much worse than sparky or icy, while Jax was easily a good starter. I also think that for this kind of game, not aiming at enemies (especially Icy x.x) is quite a strange choice to lock behind a level up upgrade, even more so when Sparky doesn't have that problem without seemingly needing it.
Wave details overlapping enemies is annoying - would be better if it was slightly above the battleground
game not running when not focused sucks when theres automation upgrades to allow you to idle
The ost cuts out and glitches every time i click which is very annoying
game is awesome, but im 80% sure the game is picking the wrong upgrade whenever i choose something
Phenomenal game, crazy that people downvote a demo for a game worth the money...
all I get after the loading bar is a pink screen with nothing on it.
Using Firefox
massive boss hp/regen spike at d3 wave 70, 4 lv40 heroes (~300 dps) managed to get him to half health before minions get sent to 1shot the base
prolly either need higher rarity heroes or a lot of grinding, d1 and d2 were manageable without grinding
nice game
I've enjoyed it enough to grab on steam, glad you have a mac version.
If the explosion effect could be centered on the enemy hit and not form right before them that'd be great. Great game if a bit slow at the start.
pretty alright game, but its quite slow and gets boring pretty quick. It is just a demo, and the full game might be better, but this doesnt make me want to buy it.
