There isn't much to do, the gameplay is very repetitive and the "ascend" mechanic is jut there because you need one in a clicker/idler. After your first release you saw everything, I wish that at least one or two new things would happen as you progress, but no. Every upgrade is just numbers get bigger. After 20 minutes you discover everything this game as to offer.

What players are saying
Damp squib, unfortunately. I'm not one to leave reviews often, but this game drops off a cliff after the first hour. Game is clearly unfinished and unbalanced - Certain upgrades are redundant by the time you can buy them, like the loan system and Cluster Overdrive. The auction house just... doesn't make sense? You can adjust the probability of each rarity, but there's no impact to setting Legendary loot to 85%. Certain metrics just don't make any sense. If "true fans" has any impact on gameplay, then I completely missed it, and ping never had any impact unless Load was maxing out, so just stayed flatlined. There's QoL upgrades as per idle games, but not for all systems, and the time when you would unlock them doesn't make any sense. You're stuck unlocking servers in different continents forever. When the mechanic that takes the longest to navigate and complete is a knockoff achievement-timewaster clone of minesweeper, there's something fundamentally wrong. Frustrating.
The demo is the same thing as the main game, at the core difference that you get the Auction House, which is a "chest opening" simulator to get a bit more cash flowing, you get steam achievements on top, if that's your thing. The developers have announced less than 24 hours later that there are no planned major updates or content added to the title beyond simple bugfixes.
