Top critical reviews

The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“Not worth it. The start is pretty slow for an incremental and the received items/automation are quite basic and boring. Monster behavior is repetitive and later upgrades are only stat improvements. Overall a more or less boring experience…”
