Why you might like it

  • Fans of idle/collector RPGs who want a mythology-themed hero roster to build and upgrade over time.
  • Players who enjoy base-building side systems, since the floating-island citadel unlocks a Forge and other buildings as you progress.
  • Casual players drawn to a game that plays well on PC, laptop, mobile or tablet thanks to its idle-friendly design.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The core loop leans on idle progression and gacha-style hero summoning rather than active exploration.
  • As with most games in this genre, monetization includes account-boosting microtransactions.
  • PvP ascension and Guild War content only unlock once you've progressed the citadel base-building layer.
