I think this game is overpriced for what it actually offers. The core idea is solid, but the balancing is so poor that anything meant to make the game harder ends up making it easier. It genuinely feels like I have to refuse every challenge the game throws at me just to keep the difficulty from collapsing, which makes no sense.
You’re given options like harder battles, lending items, investing money, or taking on special events, all of which are supposed to add risk. Instead, they snowball your power even faster. After a few runs, I realised you can win simply by clicking the hardest option every time. I barely needed consumables, and item/relic choices hardly matter because by the end of a run you’ve collected almost everything anyway. The only meaningful decision is which characters you pick; after that, the game becomes a glorified AFK experience where you press "next" and choose a reward every 10–20 seconds.
The optimal strategy is so trivial it undermines the entire design...
1. Lending items? Just lend both and get two more items.
2. Investing? Always invest the maximum, it’s pure upside.
3. Colosseum? Always do it, it's a free relic, no real downside.
That’s the problem.. everything labelled as a "challenge" is actually a reward. There’s no tension, no risk, no meaningful decision making. You pick the hardest option, invest in everything, and you win. When each run requires 105+ rounds, the repetition becomes tedious. After the first 10 rounds, the next 90+ are just idle autopilot. You might use a couple of consumables early if you lack a tank or healer, but past that point the game becomes incredibly shallow.
The best way I can describe the experience is this: every run snowballs effortlessly, and snowballing stops being fun when it’s the only thing the game ever lets you do.
This game has potential, but it desperately needs mechanics that actually introduce challenge. Instead of one‑off “harder fights” that just give you more rewards, the game could add persistent risks, like debuffs applied to the next area that grant a bonus if you overcome them. Or powerful items that come with real trade offs, such as bosses gaining buffs each time you take one. That would create actual tactical decisions
- Will this item help my weak early game team survive long enough to outscale the debuff later?
- Does the synergy this relic offers outweigh the penalties it introduces?
Right now, every choice boils down to "Yes" > Next > "Yes" > Next. The game needs systems that force you to think, not just click the biggest reward every time.
