57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Story and characters
Players who bring up Story and characters mostly praise it.
Any boss you can clear or Storyline quest you can complete is way more forward progress than any 10 buildings you might build.
57 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Monetization
Players who bring up Monetization mostly praise it.
The lack of microtransactions and a fair progression system make it a rewarding journey, though the late-game grind and minimalist UI may not appeal to everyone.
