The verdict
A cheap Diablo-style idle ARPG that runs at the bottom of your screen, with fun builds early on. Skip it if you want to push the endgame, where drop rates are extremely low and the real-money market dominates.
Great for
Casual players who want a cheap second-monitor Diablo-like idler with build tinkering, ideally in offline mode
Main risk
Endgame items almost never drop, so progress stalls and the real-money market feels like the intended path
What changed in the last 30 days
233 recent reviews
Recent negative reviews mostly complain about endgame drops, and some say the latest 'economy' update made Black Mist and rune set drops worse. Fairly confident about drops being the driver.
