Now imagine there's 9 of those games stacked on top of each other in layers and each one has its own set of resources as well as its own prestige resource that supports the layer above it. There's also a limited set of resources you have to thoughtfully allocate between all of these layers. All the while you're aided by Hero, who's crawling through a dungeon full of monsters in search of resources to help you build up the Wilderness, the Village, the City, and what lies beyond... Other notes: this game is primarily idle. There is no tapping mechanic.

Is it full screen in iphone X? Jstorm Well-Known Member Feb 2, 2020 1,082 474 83 Male Employed Earth #4 Jstorm, Jul 24, 2020 So, it’s a premium idle game... I’ve been thinking the idle mechanics is there to make people purchase IAPs, but I guess not. Havelcek Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 30, 2013 588 62 28 #5 Havelcek, Jul 24, 2020 No its fully premium. It desperately needs an active Reddit or a Wiki though. Havelcek Well-Known Member Patreon Bronze Apr 30, 2013 588 62 28 #6 Havelcek, Jul 24, 2020 I'm not sure, I'm on an iPad Air but there is a black border around the game. Its an eye chart for sure. Repulsa Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 1,584 81 48 #7 Repulsa, Jul 25, 2020 So is it worth the $5 I’m waiting for payday to buy it but I’d love to hear some impressions mgambino Well-Known Member Aug 13, 2014 159 95 28 #8 mgambino, Jul 25, 2020 I haven’t posted here in a very long time, but I can chime in on this one. It’s an idle game (no tapping) and is completely premium. Basically you start with a zone (forest) that you have to build up in usual way (buildings make resources, which makes buildings, which makes new resources and so on. At the same time, you have a hero that is traversing a dungeon that unlocks upgrades. You can also assign him to quest which brings in special things for whatever zone he quests in. Eventually when your forest is built up enough, you get a town, which is also managed along with the forest. And then as you manage both, you unlock another zone and another zone until you manage all 9. Each zone you manage has its own resources other, for the most part, but some things the hero gets are shared. There is also a gacha component that is time based (basically gacha currency is just another resource). Each zone has its own gacha stuff. For example, the forest gacha is equipment for the hero and the town gacha is villagers that help speed things up. Basically, if you like idle games and hate IAP, this is pretty much as good as it gets. Repulsa Well-Known Member Jul 3, 2015 1,584 81 48 #9 Repulsa, Jul 30, 2020 I’m having a hard time getting into this one I don’t know why Ijipop Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 557 268 63 #10 Ijipop, Jul 30, 2020 Took me a couple of days too. Since I paid for it I decided to give this one a couple of tries. Eventually everything fell into place and I now enjoy it pretty much. I mean, it’s still a clicker. But for the first time I am not annoyed by multiples ad watching and offers and all those shenanigans. Keep playing I think you may eventually like this one! Dema9o9uehutq Member Mar 28, 2019 21 13 3 Male #11 Dema9o9uehutq, Jul 30, 2020 I can tell I would like this game. I have no issues with the game itself, but it seems like a lazy PC port. The UI is impossible to read and I have an iPhone 11 Pro Max. It's not formatted to take up the whole screen so there is black on the left and right. Even the text on the bottom of the screen gets cut off by the home button indicator. It just clearly wasn't given the extra effort to be a good ios port. I'll try playing it on my ipad and I'm sure I'll enjoy it there more. The dev really should've put in the extra effort or made it ipad only for being a $6 game. Ratberger and Ijipop like this. Ijipop Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 557 268 63 #12 Ijipop, Jul 31, 2020 Your comment is actually pretty accurate. Nonetheless I think that if you like to watch numbers grow, this game is giving you plenty. I must agree though I have an Iphone 11 and the UI interface is horrible. The text and menus are microscopic and it looks blurry like hell. Still.... Lots of numbers going up!

I’m still really liking this one, but I’ve only unlocked the first 4 zones so far. And yeah, lots of numbers... all the numbers! Ijipop Well-Known Member Jul 25, 2012 557 268 63 #14 Ijipop, Jul 31, 2020 One other thing is the music. Repetitive, yet so catchy. Thumbs up for the music! This game is just a great time waster! Solarclipse Well-Known Member Jul 30, 2012 879 64 28 #15 Solarclipse, Aug 1, 2020 So is there an end game - goal? I don’t like idles without endings because I end up stopping when I am sick of being sucked into it, rather than feeling like I accomplished something. mgambino Well-Known Member Aug 13, 2014 159 95 28 #16 mgambino, Aug 1, 2020 I don’t think so? I’m nowhere near unlocking everything, so I don’t know for sure. There’s really not a story though, and there’s no indication that there is an ending. Solarclipse likes this. Solarclipse Well-Known Member Jul 30, 2012 879 64 28 #17 Solarclipse, Aug 2, 2020 thanks, lol, I noticed after I posted that “endless” was in the title and that I could take that as a definite hint, but lack of story seals it.
