I 100% this game and at no point did I feel like it was getting stale, even at it's grindiest. It's worth at least... 334.1 hours of play time, which I find pretty damn good for 6 bucks. When it's on sale, it's a steal. Cheaper than a movie ticket at least.

Extremely cool incremental game, it feels like a active clicker game with so much to do, the time consumption isnt really that bad since you can afk and set the game to give you time pieces when you come back.
extremely fun game that has so much content it actually made my cry

Genuinely phenomenal, I got it on sale for like, 3 dollars, and it was one of the best surprises I've had in a while. I've been searching something to scratch the Candy Box 2 itch and this is all I wanted and more. It's like Candy Box 2 and Factorio had a baby in the best way.
There's something in the autistic fantasy nerd side of me that just gets so pleased by everything about this game. It's complex and intense but it is based so god damn well that every single time I got yet ANOTHER game mechanic, I was so willing and ready to dive in head-first. The only worry I have with this game is that I'll finish too soon, but so far I've gotten to like 2 "final" bosses and I only have 60% of the achievements so I'm just along for the ride.
Developer PLEASE keep making games you have such a genuine knack, although it is entirely possible that this game literally was made for me and me only because it arriving in my life feels like divine intervention.

Addictive management roguelite game with a gameplay loop that works fairly well. You'll want something like a downscroll-bound left click for the early game, but once you get maybe 10% into the game the gameplay loop really sets in. I'm about 40% done with the game at this point, and by this point it's best played in short bursts after long times afk.
Basically, each run you pick a primary element and go through the game as far as possible to unlock permanent upgrades that carry over to your next run.
Reservations:
-I wouldn't call this an idle game. It's far too involved to be an idle game, and true idle progress (without using the timeskips you get for having the game closed) is much slower than being active.

An absolutely fantastic semi-active idle game. Don't expect to gain anything from afking for more than a few hours at a time, but if you engage with the mechanics intelligently, you'll find yourself exploding in power unexpectedly at some points, and there are a lot of great combos you can work with to beat almost all areas. Little bit grindy to farm up all of the permutations of events is my only complaint, but the story is fun, prestige systems are fitting story-wise and mechanic-wise, and it's very satisfying to annihilate something you struggled with after a bit of work and thought.

Fun game, well-balanced. Novel problems to solve at each stage. There's enough of an actual plot to make the advancements make sense in context, and as a result they feel more rewarding (at least to me). I also like that the game doesn't crutch too heavily on prestige mechanics.

I originally played the first game on my phone. I played through until the very end and I was surprised to even see a sequel on here when I was browsing incremental games. It's so much of the first game, and then just better. A lot of the issues I see in the reviews about the tedium is resolved entirely by just playing the game and unlocking upgrades that entirely removes the tedium. I've just finished the final secret ending, and I thoroughly enjoyed each play through.
There's several different builds and you can feel pretty comfortable trying whatever and being successful. Poison DoTs work. Pets doing it for you works. A melee build works. Min/Maxing specific items and stats to just nuke the final boss in one Universe Ending attack works. You don't have to get every single thing to the maximum level to be successful, and I appreciated that by the 3rd or 4th play through when I wanted to just get the upgrade and move to the next challenge.
Good game. Very happy to 100% it.
