The verdict
A free taskbar idle RPG that's charming and relaxing early on, but the endgame is a luck-based grind, the economy is dead, and there are ban, server and DLC complaints. Skip it if you want money or real progression.
Great for
Players who want a free, low-attention idle RPG to run in a corner while working, with no interest in the market
Main risk
Endgame RNG and drop rates stall progression, and the Steam market pays pennies
What changed in the last 30 days
155 recent reviews
Recent negatives center on impossible high-grade drops and synthesis after the Plaguelands update, plus rollbacks and games failing to start. Older complaints were mostly bans and server issues.
