I was hesitant at first but this is a genuinely good incremental game that requires active management and a good bit of decision making. The combat so far is surprisingly engaging and you'll need to use your head to clear the various areas, you can't just use one strategy and faceroll everything (yet?) I'm only leaving 4 stars as the lack of sound detracts from the enjoyability somewhat and would happily rate 5 otherwise. Some background music and button press sounds would be beneficial imo.

Easily the best incremental I've ever played, hands down. The storylines and using the prestige system to apply the rewards from storyline completion made prestiging a really exciting prospect - every now and again a major storyline completely changed the the gameplay. This game kept me entertained for two months, with about 60 hours total playtime. The fact that it's a pay up-front game meant that there were no IAPs or ads and so the progress and pacing felt well-balanced. 100% worth buying.

Great little game. I spent surprisingly lot of time with this one. One QoL improvement I would really like: when you unlock a spell it should be possible to put the apprentices on it immediately (make it a storyline?). That's how you use most of the spells anyway. Now you have to remember to go check later if you have leveled up that particular school of magic.
