“I really love the current features the game has and is a promising premise but lacks in quality of life. No offline progression, equipment has to be manually set (for hundreds of "leaders"), you have to reequip them every so often…”
“An idler that has no offline progress but desperately needs it. Dev expects you to run this in the background. Abandoned as soon as it was released. Poorly translated. You have leaders. Stats are random, but 2 of them always have good…”
