Becomes tedious and slow. Core gameplay loop is mostly inventory management.

Overall, good game, last prestige a bit of a strech to some degree, but very fun, can be played passively or more actively. The kind of idle game I look forward to play.
Not recommended Sep 25, 2026
A cool idea, cool execution in most parts, but if you want to complete it, it will require more interaction than expected without bringing too much to the table after the first or second prestige. I believe that if there was more automatization configuration and opening to set more than "visit those places", the second part would be mnore interesting. Not bad, but if talking about how much attention it requires if you don't leave it only in auto gather resources, it was not worth the whole duration

love it
Recommended Sep 16, 2026
This is a hard one for me. The first 2 resets where fun and i like the consept. But there is not much to it after that losing intrest. The resets are also not really that intresting they sure make next runs easier but other then the ability to craft there is not much new it will add to the game. Hope the developer will find more ways to make the game more intresting, for example different type of starting robots with quirks, more equipment options, and a more intresting progression system.
