Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
90 hours in and I'm about to kill titan 1 - some say this is the end of the tutorial for the game. for me this is honestly what an idle game should be, and the best one i've played. in game microtransactions are there, but they are not required to play/win. story is funny, the numbers going up are satisfying and there is a lot to achieve. the 'rpg' aspect is really well done and from the looks of it, allows you to have a lot of builds and fun with it.

The graphics are simple, and the interface can look messy compared to more polished games.
