✦ AI summary

Players are deeply divided on this game. Those enjoying it praise the idle mechanics and satisfying upgrade progression that keeps casual players engaged, but critics overwhelmingly dismiss it as low-quality mobile game bloatware with poor graphics, aggressive monetization through DLC, and technical issues like launch crashes. The core complaint is that the game feels underpolished and overpriced compared to full-featured alternatives, representing broader industry trends toward extractive mobile-style monetization.

A fun game for people who prefer more active idle games.

Have hundreds of hours on this game on mobile. Kinda sad its basically abandoned. Their discord is pretty dead too after some of their worse fans drove off a bunch of people being horrible. Anyway its a pretty fun idle game with lots of grind and just enough interaction.

Yes its an "Idler" but the extent of it is very misleading. This game requires a TON of manual interaction and attention in order to progress (Especially if you want 100%). Idling will work for a very few small things (If Task/Mission is do kill, catch creatures, cast spells or gather scrap thats really about it). The game looks like it'd be cool but honestly I wish I didn't bother with this. There is also a bug that I've read about and encountered where if a hard crash is encountered you can lose lots of progress (Read online someone losing about 500 hours). For myself it was about 13 hours which may have been due to me properly closing the game earlier. Due to this I usually close the game for about 15-20 minutes just in case but to this point I have not encountered this again even with a power outage. So may different mechanics that requires you to interact. - The "Button" - Conditions to complete Missions - Conditions to complete Tasks - Clicking the "Loot Drone" which provides "Nuclear Material" one of the most important items you need to progress and requires tens of thousands (Drone will give about 4-6 each time) - Getting exp for certain pets - Challenges - Crafting mater…

this is just a huge pile of mobile game garbage that somehow crawled its filthy way into the steam store.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
