I thought it was fun at first, then it got extremely repetitive, monotonous and boring.

Nothing is explained in the game. If you screw up at the beginning, you can't restart since this is a mobile to pc game. Which also means lots and lots of unnecessary clicking on everything over and over.

You eventually get to a point where all your heroes will die, nothing left to do but constantly fight lower level enemies.
\nYou can train your heroes for a few minor improvements, first level 30 minutes for 2, then 40, etc, etc.
\nAll you do is send your heroes on the same quest over and over and over, etc hundreds of times.
\nThe higher the quest the more time it takes of course. Time is also hero dependent. For dwarves it takes forever and that 's what you start with.

You have goals, they require 500 of everything every goal. 500 copper sword, 500 copper boots, 500 etc etc etc. And there are a lot of goals.
\nYou need over a thousand of every thing, but you only get 1-2 resources (sometimes 3-4) per quest.

You earn gems from fighting somehow. Then you must grind those gems to get either crafters or heroes. Lowest hero is 45 gems, crafters are from 10-20 gems. You can always buy a cheap hero for gold (that goes up in cost) that you get from selling your hundreds of items that you make from the thousands of resources you have to grind for.

I never got a gem hero, I was too busy getting useless crafters that I didn't know I didn't need until I had them all.

I eventually just got extremely bored of the game and the constant clicking.

It could have been a fun game, but being a mobile to pc port the clicking just got to me. And you have to micromanage all the time. Only thing you don't have to manage constantly is the training which is kinda buggy.

I just don't understand why Devs who port their game from mobile to pc don't bother to understand that there are differences between the two platforms, especially when it comes to all the clicking and timers. This is why many of the ported games fail.

I will however not refund the game, and check back from time to time. As I said, I really want to love this game.

Horrible copy of Merchant which re-uses assets from other "Royal" games.

Turns out this is a FREE app from Google play. don't waste your money for something you can play for free on your phone

Just a mobile idle/clicker type game. Not a strategy game.

I thought it was fun at first, then it got extremely repetitive, monotonous and boring.

I never got a gem hero, I was too busy getting useless crafters that I didn't know I didn't need until I had them all.

I eventually just got extremely bored of the game and the constant clicking.

This game is not worth 10 bucks in it's current state. Go find it in a bundle like I did.

I can't recommend this.

It *could* be a nice game but it feels like it's halfway into an early access.

“Here are many things I'd love to fix, change, add and expand.
\nIt is not ready yet. Some mechanics are not working yet."

I agree. missing tool-tips and quality of life features killed the fun for me.
\ni feel 1/4 of the time fighting the UI instead of monsters.

unfortunately this game is unoptimized to the point of eternal lag and delay. maybe i will give it another if it gets some updates.
\nFinal Review

I've had more fun dancing on a landmine

Well, it's not perfect but maybe the game gets some improvements (ie User Interface).

I will however not refund the game, and check back from time to time. As I said, I really want to love this game.

Horrible copy of Merchant which re-uses assets from other "Royal" games.

Turns out this is a FREE app from Google play. don't waste your money for something you can play for free on your phone

Just a mobile idle/clicker type game. Not a strategy game.

I thought it was fun at first, then it got extremely repetitive, monotonous and boring.

I never got a gem hero, I was too busy getting useless crafters that I didn't know I didn't need until I had them all.

I eventually just got extremely bored of the game and the constant clicking.

This game is not worth 10 bucks in it's current state. Go find it in a bundle like I did.

I can't recommend this.

It *could* be a nice game but it feels like it's halfway into an early access.

“Here are many things I'd love to fix, change, add and expand.
\nIt is not ready yet. Some mechanics are not working yet."

I agree. missing tool-tips and quality of life features killed the fun for me.
\ni feel 1/4 of the time fighting the UI instead of monsters.

unfortunately this game is unoptimized to the point of eternal lag and delay. maybe i will give it another if it gets some updates.
\nFinal Review

I've had more fun dancing on a landmine

Well, it's not perfect but maybe the game gets some improvements (ie User Interface).
