Recruit and stack heroes with cumulative upgrades while passive damage whittles down an enormous dragon boss. The core appeal lies in watching your army grow exponentially and unlocking new tiers of power through progression. Ideal for players who enjoy numbers scaling rapidly and want a low-engagement experience they can check in on periodically.

I was really disappointed in this title after thoroughly enjoying the demo.
You can finish the main mode in under 2 hours, then it's just repeating the same thing with slight variations (wood, ore and food) while doing the same repetitive stuff - albeit with an additional gold sink, WITHOUT any sort of prestige mechanic to at least speed things up.
The dungeon mechanic feels pointless and tacked on, and the upgrades lack any sort of punch or excitement. The large majority of them aren't even noticeable in any way.
Really disappointing. Was hoping for 1 main mode with unfolding mechanics and bosses at the very least.
EDIT: I have now played all four gamemodes. I have completed the "main" mode, the fake endless mode, touched the true endless mode for a while and I've played through the resource management mode for long enough to the point where it's a waiting game to finish it. It's about one hour per gamemode (excluding true endless, because it's endless), and they all have the same gameplay loop. I stand by what I said in my original review, which can be found below.
Play the demo and you've essentially seen everything important the game has to offer.
I finished the main story mode in around 90 minutes, roughly 30 minutes of which was spent replaying content I'd already played for free in the demo. In other words, after paying almost €6 on sale, I got about an hour (!!!) of new content out of the main story. For an incremental game, that's honestly abysmal. I've also played through a fair bit of the second gamemode, which seems to be the same gameplay loop with minor variations that don't meaningfully change how the game plays. Yikes.
The "synergy" the game advertises mostly boils down to clicking upgrade buttons as soon as you have enough money to afford them. There's very little actual decision-making involved. The dungeons don't add much either: they're short, repetitive, and the money you get from them quickly becomes irrelevant compared to the passive income from your units.
That's ultimately my biggest problem with the game. For an incremental game, there's surprisingly little to think about. You buy whatever you can afford, watch the numbers go up, and repeat. New mechanics are introduced, but they rarely change what you're actually doing. Nevermind the 1 hour it takes to get to the end.
I'm going to play through the remaining two gamemodes in the foreseeable future, because I might as well try to get my €6 worth, but considering how little the second gamemode differs from the main game, I highly doubt I'll find enough new or substantial content to swing this review into a positive recommendation. I'd be more than happy to be proven wrong, though. My €6 certainly hopes so.
As it stands, if you've played the demo, you've pretty much played the game.
Played the demo a while back and just now bought and am playing it.
Very well-done incremental. Yes, that is indeed a really big dragon. But give me enough time to scale up and I can also have a really big damage number. So it all works out. For me.
Graphics are clean as HECK. Gameplay is very incremental, noice. Honestly solid game.

These patch notes are full of spoilers for the Endless chapter, level 11 dungeon: If you took the king’s gold in the level 11 dungeon instead of fighting him, you’re no longer stuck at dungeon level 10. You can return to the endless chapter dungeon at level 11, where the king has new dialogue and you can choose to confront him and start the king battle. Existing saves that were capped after a bribe should pick this up the next time you enter the endless dungeon. If you're still stuck on level 10 after beating it once, sadly you'll have to clear the save game and try again. Chapters will remain unlocked after a Clear Save, though.
