It's a fun little game. It scratch the itch of having idler game running on your PC and it can be finished in one sitting.
It's far from perfect but at the same time it does what it was supposed to do.

I am not sure if it's worth the price, but I got it on almost half the price and I feel content with it.

This is one of those games where I really had fun with but hesitant to recommend, especially on the current state of the game + full price.

First, the good stuff. The turn-based tactics is just the bread and butter of games like these. The gameplay is really enjoyable. I enjoyed the ever evolving mechanics throughout the game. But what really surprised me is the crewmates. Ever since the first few hours of the game, I keep thinking about Mass Effect and how this game really make me feel the same way to some extent. I think they are inspired by it because you can feel the DNA throughout the game. I wish we could've gotten more core teammates that has their own stories though. I enjoyed the side stories more than the main story. The main story is okay, just not great. I did enjoy the final 20% of the game though, I think it has more interesting late game story. I also enjoyed the voiceover.

Now, the cons that makes me not recommending this game.
- Poor performance. It runs heavily even on decent PC.
- Weird face animation for the main character. I think they should've used a pre-made character because everyone looks fine except the main character. The best way I can describe it is it looks like Mass Effect Andromeda facial animation.
- The game can feel PAINFULLY SLOW on some parts. Some animations are dragged on for too long like when you defeat a Coil enemy, they will transfer their stuff to the others but it takes a solid 10 seconds EACH, and that's if your game is not randomly stay still like it's thinking what to do next because it does happen sometimes too.
- As said on my previous point, the game sometimes just stay still. It's not frozen, the game is running and the idle animation is there, but everything just stay still. The game is like struggling to think what to do next.
- The game could do with some QoL features, such as fast forward or skip animation, or undo move because sometimes you unknowingly do what you don't wanna do because the game can be weird with the control.
- Inconsistent camera. Sometimes you can see the playing field amazingly, then the next time you are ZOOMED IN and can't zoom out anymore because apparently that's how the intended experiences are.

It is a neat simple idler/auto battler game. I like the roguelite aspect of building the team. Clearing levels with what you have felt satisfying. The skill/ascension tree is also quite expansive.

My complain though is that the incremental part is not as smooth as I think it should be. The bosses' difficulty on every 100 levels is poorly designed and/or adjusted. You can sweep the floor with anything up until that level and then everything just stop. It forces you to ascend to keep up. I know that's the loop for idler game, but the experience in this game is not smooth at all. It felt like it's a forced and unfun way to do it.

I can't really recommend this game as this game is a priced product, and the thing is there are better idler games that are available for free. It should be at least cheaper in my opinion.

Actually a really fun small and simplistic incremental game. It truly invoke your dopamine. Bite-sized, yet fulfilling.

Sadly the game is too expensive for 4 hours of experience, especially since the last hour will be spent by redoing the same level again and again to get over the incremental spike.

Another game that I really enjoyed but can't recommend because it's not being updated anymore and there are some glaring issues that should have been fixed.

I really enjoyed the gameplay loop especially when everything goes smoothly, but it turns frustrating when someone is being a Karen and refused to pay for service fee, and then you chose to reject the customer, and your supervisor told you that you are wrong because you should have sold a new phone. Where's the logic in that?

Fun core gameplay, unfortunately not maintained.
