About Hail the Devourer
Welcome Initiate.Your job is simple. Destroy cities. Harvest chaos. Summon an incomprehensible cosmic entity to swallow all of existence and end everything as we know it. We operate remotely, so you're working from home. It's less of a policy and more of a structural integrity issue. Point your mouse at buildings and reduce them to rubble. You'll pick it up fast.Every demolished structure is another bite-sized offering for the Great Devourer we call Dad. Once the buffet's big enough, he'll show up and handle the rest. Some people call that cosmic horror. We call it space magic. Same thing, better branding. Get to work.
Wield unimaginable cosmic powers (and your mouse) to demolish ever-expanding cityscapes across 40 levels of escalating carnage. As you feed the Great Devourer with the Chaos of your rampage, you will be blessed with Tokens and the honor of taking on greater challenges. Be sure to use those tokens wisely because as the cities get bigger the buildings get tougher.

Choose a Relic you want to make permanent and sacrifice the unworthy ones to the Void. Think of it as a terrible gift exchange...with an eldritch horror. Still thirsty for power?

If you go for achievements do not get this game. the final achievements are bugged and the devs have given up on the game.
I am so sorry for not playing this game the way it is meant to be played. 😂 I was playing the game normally when I suddenly realized: If I just destroyed the bare minimum every night, I would be able to get more upgrades and tokens every level. So I tried it, and it worked! I was getting tons of stuff! Then... I made a mistake. I kept going beyond the point where you get new upgrades. And the game got to the upgrade screen with no upgrades available, and it wouldn't let me proceed until I bought an upgrade... so I was stuck. I had effectively softlocked myself. I couldn't even quit the game, I had to Alt+F4. And when I booted the game back up, I was stuck on the same screen. So... I guess the lesson here is "don't try to break the game, because you might succeed." Now. I will be refunding the game, but not because of this. I'm refunding the game because it's not what I expected. It's still a good game, just not really my cup of tea. It's less incremental, more roguelite. And there are way better roguelites out there. Still, It was fun, but I'm done.
Great little game, had fun experimenting with the different effects and runes. 10/10 worth it.
Very and addictive fun little game, highly recommend (where did those 3hrs even go...)
I only played for an hour, so keep that in mind. The first few minutes of the game just repeated. No real sense of change of scenery, if that matters to you. It was just the same thing again and again without even the sense that the upgrades made the screen look any different. These things are getting strong, should they not also change in color or design to show that effect? I understand the progressive nature of these games, but this was not fun.
Pros: Great visual aesthetic, satisfying gameplay Cons: Gets very repetitive very quickly. Has a lot of polish issues To elaborate what i mean by polish issues: 1. It... doesnt always save. There is no button to manually save, you gotta rely on autosave. It saved my progress at level 3, but then when i stopped around level 35 and went to have dinner, i came back only to find that... My save file was still level 3. RIP my entire progress. 2. There is no way to access video/audio menu from ingame. You want to change volume? Exit alllll the way to main menu, change it, then return back. And hope that your save file is still there. 3. When upgrading relics, it doesnt tell you which ones you have equipped. So its very easy to accidentally sacrifice a relic you're using. Overall: Honestly probably worth $5 if you dont expect much from it. Graphics are great, and so are the animations.
