⚠ This game has online features and I played it with a friend.
First things first, if you expect an idle game, this game is not for you.
As some comments mention, the game has a few issues the map is inaccurate, the early game can feel grindy and there are some balancing problems.
But as an active incremental game, this one did not disappoint me at all. There is strategic planning involved, there are synergies, and most of the unlocks you get help you progress further while making you rethink your current strategy.
The game often feel like a puzzle game and you will need to have the right strategy to progress. If you keep trying new synergies you should not get stuck, you will NEED some synergies to complete the game or progress further, so if you feel like you're not progressing or that you need to grind, you should just instead try new things
Since this is a prototype and the dev knows it needs balancing, he added features to help players get ‘unstuck’ and keep playing instead of just grinding. In my opinion, even if you play solo, as long as you experiment you won’t really need those features but if you get impatient, they’re there for you.
With my friend, we completed the whole prototype (including the final boss) in about 5 hours.
Around 4 hours in, we had a desynchronization and the online features stopped working in some ways. But at that point, we no longer needed to help each other, since the online features are mostly useful in the early game to get through the grind faster.
