You play as a comically indolent dark lord who sends waves of minions to conquer a thousand territories while you remain seated. Gold and treasure fund troop upgrades, with progress continuing automatically between sessions, letting you chip away at world domination during downtime or while multitasking. The appeal lies in watching numbers grow with minimal active input, making it ideal for idle gaming fans who enjoy gradual advancement and strategic unit composition.

It's really addicting in a good way.

I may be lazy, but the numbers must go up! Offers plenty of hours for a cheap price. It's fun to play while watching YouTube for example. The demo has 100 areas and the full game has 1000. Full game has Steam cloud save sync (unlike the demo).

Couple of things I'd like to see:

Highlight the gold and/or upgrade button, when I can afford an upgrade.
Highlight the devotion button, when it's available.
Show the number of current and earned lord crystals currently available.
Compact "Minions Upgrade" panel with all minions on a single page.
The "always on top" option doesn't always work (it's sometimes behind other windows). I must set it to off and then on again, for it to start working.
Sometimes blocks clicks to window behind when the game window is active

This is both cute and fun. Haven't won yet and still figuring things out, but I'm enjoying building up my troops and experiencing what new troops my enemy has. My only complaint is that they have ninjas and I don't.
