Steam reviews

What players say

Mixed reception: players like the team-management loop and offline progress, but many find it more grind than idle, with pay-to-win and late-game scaling complaints.

Many players like the core loop of building and equipping a roster of heroes, watching several characters farm on their own in split-screen, and the art and music. Several praise the offline progress and say the game can be played free to play. Many complain that the game is not really idle: chests pile up, inventory fills, and the game must be open to progress. Some say the paid passes and gacha-style purchases push pay-to-win, and that the late game slows to a grind with weak gear drops and balance problems. Some report that the AI auto-combat gets stuck or acts poorly. A few reviewers also raise connection and anti-cheat concerns. Recent reviews are more negative, focusing on late-game pacing and repetition, while older helpful reviews praise the early hours.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Not really idle

    Players say the game needs active play for chests, inventory and progress, unlike a true idler.

    Many players
  • Pay-to-win and monetisation

    Reviewers say passes, paid boosts and gacha-style purchases push players to pay for progress.

    Many players
  • Late-game grind and scaling

    Players report slow progression, weak drop rates and balance problems after the midgame.

    Many players
Who it suits
Players who like management and farming over hands-on action, and who are happy to check in often and ignore the paid options.
Who should skip it
Players who want a true idle game that progresses while closed, or who dislike pay-to-win and slow late-game grinding.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours more often cite late-game stagnation, drop rates and repetition, while newer players mostly praise the early hours.
