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.

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.

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.

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.

game not running when not focused sucks when theres automation upgrades to allow you to idle

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 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.

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.

Game has the bones to be something great, but with insane health scaling and the long LONG amount of time to complete runs, I don't feel its reached its full potential

I would write more on the game and its systems but there isn't much to say, the rest of the game is alright and I have no problems with its other progression systems (though certain heroes are so bad its insane they need to rebalanced asap)

As a demo it doesn't give me full confidence that the full game would be worth my money :(

played for over 6 hours and can confidently say... I feel like ive made no progression.

The game is perhaps not without criticism, but I am really enjoying the full steam version. This hits the spot for me, I'm a sucker for incremental tower defense games. I think the long length of runs and slower pace actually suits me. Thanks! Hoping for more updates as time goes on as well

Wave details overlapping enemies is annoying - would be better if it was slightly above the battleground

waves are unbearably long but Ive been enjoying this a lot for a demo

Demo mean the game will not be update or mean i dont have all content ?

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...
