This is by far the best idle cultivation game i've found on steam.
While it might not be for everyone who likes idle games, being heavily based on cultivation stories, if you like cultivation novels or don't mind trying to learn a new type of system and already enjoy idle games, you will enjoy it.

It can take a bit to unlock everything though, but as you get further and further into it, you open up a lot of different systems. Especailly once you get to having your own sect/clan.

Fun game!

I am an OG backer of this game. I love mechwarrior, always have. Play the table top, read the books, play all the games.

It's an amazing idea, and can work.

Problem is, and has been since start.

This game is insanely pay to win, the community is horribly toxic, and the company that runs it 10 year later still hasn't made the UI scale with your resolution.

I can't support this game almost soley because of how bad the company that runs it is.

Short, about an hour. No real rebirth mechanics except for trying to beat your prior time.
It's a fun little game that's FREE.

Fun game for the most part. They really capture the tyranids. The combat is similar to the first one but a tad differnt.
My main complaints so far are
-team mate ai is some of the worst i've ever seen, they litteraly will just walk in enemies, not hruting them or attacking them half the time. Even when they do attack somehow your team mates can barely kill a single homogrant.
-enemy ai ONLY targets you. they completly ignore your team mates, so it ends up being you fighting a swarm of nids, 3+ warriors, 20+gnats and 1-2 ambush nids while your ai team mates walk around ocassionaly swinging a sword at a gnat.
-the prior 2 makes the game feel like its saying "go fight in melee" but it actually wont let you, because you will get surounded and die instantly because your allies do litteraly nothing
-the counter system is extreemly sluggish and not fluid at all. Half the time you counter something it doesn't, and then the enemy hits you for half your life. half the time parries simply dont do anything.

Over all it's fun, i would just play on one of the first two difficulities not the 3rd or 4th because the ai is worthless on your side, the enemies ONLY target you, and the counter mechanics are inconsistent.

Looks wise the game is amazing though.
I think a lot of the ai problems would also go away if you were playing with other people.

Pros-
-Gameplay can be a bit repetative but it's super super fun. Lots of exploding enemies and gear collected.
-Extreemly open customization both with visual effects and gameplay effects.
-Lots of things in the game to really display your gunpla, dioramas, custom stances, making your own backgrounds, cut scenes that show your unit
-Tons of weapons and suit powers.
-Even just beyond the choices of what gear to use each gear can have upwards of 7+ aditional bonuses.
-There is a LOT of content here.
-The game gets better the further you get on, especially once you are near the end of the story and after.
-Extensive post story content

Cons-
-The game takes a bit long to ramp up. You unlock more and more customization systems as you play but it seems to take quite a while before you arn't simply just equpping what ever has the highest stats (bout 20% of the way into the game is when you can really start customizing your own style effectively)
-The story is...kinda meh, but it's normal shonen stuff.
-The enemy mechanics don't really become nesecary to follow until near the end game and after, before that you can just brute force it.
-the stats can be overwhelming
-there could be more useful tutorials for systems, mechanics and weapons
-Online multiplayer works but it isn't as simple as drop in and play
-to join team with friends you have to be using the same steam downloads region setting (which you can change to outside of game)


I'm a moderate fan of gundam, not an obsessed one, but i love good games with stat crunch and i also have built a few gunpla (and 30 minute sisters/frame arms girls)

It's more edf, super fun if you like edf!
If you don't know edf, it's a over the top alien and bug shooter with tons of customization.

Most of the negative reviews are because of the company not saying until release that you need an epic games account to play multiplayer.

It's a better version of the origional switch release in every way. It has the old path through if you want, but it has a new different one as well.

What really impresses me, other then it now being able to run on pc hardware instead of the switch, is the included amount of QoL and content updates. There are now more ways to interact with your demons, more ways to power up your main character, more ability to customize your difficulty.

Just a better game.

An amazing mix of idel game and tower defense.
I honestly was very hesitant to see a idel game for the price, they are usually free, but i'm totally happy i bought it.
There are no micro transactions, instead it's all earned through game.

A tutorial would help, but you can figure it out on your own with enough time or using a guide.

Crazy addictive, tons of customization, different viable tactics.

You recruit units, and equip your tortoise with different weapons (up to 3 primary +8 secondary), then you also can recruit up to 3 hero units.

Your choice of pilot and hero units, as well as tortise armor, gives you different passives and skills to use, which you can switch out on the fly.

Over all great addictive game.

After a rough launch some questionable balance changes and the horrible account linking fiasco, i feel helldivers 2 has made a lot of great turn arounds to show it really does deserve the hype.

Don't forget what sony did, but this is an amazing coop game.

It's ark with pokemon, only it's not nearly as buggy as ark and the pokemon arn't quite as sexy.

It's amazing if you like survival games with slaves that arn't tedious to use like conan exiles.
