This is a fun idle game. My issue is that it uses every attempt to get lonely out of you. I paid the $30 for the pass and mistakenly thought it would cover everything in the 5$ monthly pass. That was on me to not read carefully. However, the only way to get some of the features is to pay for the $5 monthly. I HATE when a company forces you to continue to pay for the skips and extras in a game and doesn’t give a lifetime option. I’m additionally annoyed that the way the passes were marketed implied that the $30 one covered what was in the monthly pass. They seemed like a tiered purchase like many others are. My final complaint is that any time you go to one of the extra areas that is still a major part of the game and impacts your general civilization, there is another monthly pass to purchase. Just to play this idle game to its full extent, you are needing to pay around $20 monthly on top of a $30 purchase price, and that just feels criminal in this economy.

I love this game. Probably the first mobile game I’ve played and loved in a long, long time. It’s IDLE, so great to play between classes or after a long day, and has so many different parts and things to do. Very enjoyable, never really gets boring. I enjoy all the gatchas for the characters, beasts, etc — makes the game fun to play, and so exciting when you get something good! I also love the pity system, when even if you do get a “Gold” or super rare, it doesn’t reset pity. The only thing I have to note is that this game… can get frustrating with how many things are pay to win, or pay for reward. It’s virtually impossible to get the super rare limited edition characters through events without paying money. Some events, it feels like if they just added *one more day* to them, a lot more people who are dedicated and don’t pay money on the game could get the character or skin. It can get frustrating. Some events, the stuff you use to engage and play (tokens) disappear and turn into rewards later, so you can’t even save us supplied to do extra runs next time. I wish events with exclusive rare characters or skins let you save materials to guarantee it next time, or just gave an extra day or two so it’s easier to get. I know in my server, almost everyone who gets the characters pays money. In the Egypt event, I was like in the top 10 and didn’t even get the new soulmate because i was only a few prayers short. I understand wanting to let people pay, but there’s so many other ways people spend money in the game. I just wish it was a bit easier for people like me who don’t pay to eventually get the characters, even if it does take longer (multiple events) and harder work to get them!

It says you need to complete 5x expeditions to continue on, but you must be part of an alliance to play expeditions apparently. Well all alliances are either full or not accepting new members when you apply. YOU CANT MAKE YOUR OWN UNLESS YOU MAKE AN IN GAME PURCHASE. I’m not wasting any more time simply trying to be able to join an alliance. What a scummy way to try to make a few bucks.
