This game has the same problem that many other idle games have in that while it starts off addicting it gets boring and tedious after a while. However I got to the point of boring and tedious here a lot quicker than I have with other idle games. I think the main reason for this is that everything moves far too slow. The time it takes to get to the better units isn't so bad but actually getting money from them takes a long time mainly because of the limited clicks. If this game allowed unlimited clicks things would go a lot faster. The hero's whip makes this better but you have to reset your game when you get 1 billion gold if you want that.

Another example of how this game is slow is the campaign. The reason this is slow is because actually fighting and winning these battles takes ages. Skeletons are the best unit to use I find as they are cheap so you can quickly hire a bunch of them and attack but it still takes a long time. Also I don't know if unit damage gets scaled up with the different minions but it dose not seem like it does. Skeletons pretty much the same damage as demons and there easier to produce so I don't see the point in fighting with anything but skeletons

The game does have good points such as the art which i good and the musics not too bad. I don't think this is the worst idle game ever by any standards but the above points make it impossible for me to give it more than 2.5/5.

It was quit engaging and addicting at the beginning, the artwork is quite good, and the music is alright for a bit but gets annoying fast. All in all a decent idle game, but could've been sooooo much better if more depth was put it into battling, also, it is absurd to try and beat this game without an autoclicker, big penalty for that. Looking forward for a number 2 though.

SPOILER- ALERT:

Just starting : you want to buy 1 unit of minion ( doesn't matter what type, but the higher tier tend to give more money) and then whip him until u can't whip anymore
then proceed to purchase 1 more, and whip again
rinse and repeat this process to keep generating money
make sure you are only buying ONE SINGLE unit at a time

attack phase: the first dungeon, skeletons are actually the strongest minions to use against them
send 100 at a time. every unit u buy cost more than the previous, so do not purchase MAX amount and attack with them, unless you really know what you're doing.
use the hire x100 in lower right corner
Each subsequent dungeons, will be weak against a different type of units, so make sure you check out which minion type is most effective.

Artifact: Get the Hero killer whip first ( one that allows you to whip minons 100 times instead of 12)
you will make money a LOT quicker that way

helpful hints:
1) Even though it only mentions about loot bonus, upgrading boss will raise your troops attack dmg higher.
2. as soon as you receive your first billion gold ( quickest way to obtain is to beat the first dungeon...or with an auto clicker), to reset and get your first soul to purchase hero killer whip
3. Don't stay on the cheap units like skeleton or bats for too long, they generate too little revenue
Don't rush onto the MOST expensive unit too quick either. At they beginning (before you get your artifact) you only get to whip 12 times before reset, the lizards and slimes don't actually fill the bar fast enough to give you money
4. the fastest way to make money at the beginning is buy clicking.
By the time you finish your first dungeon, if you have followed my steps, you should realize troop harvesting is not the fastest way, beating dungeons are. YOU should have a fairly solid understanding of the game by now.
Work out a system to farm the demons
4) I STRONGLY STRONGLY suggest you get an auto clicker software
disclaimer - even with an auto clicker, the game will still take over an hour to finish
I believe under the community icon in lower right will direct you to a site in which u can download auto clickers
make sure it's not a virus~~!
once u have that installed, set your right mouse button to trigger, set it to 100 - 200 clicks per second.
Honestly I think he made this game JUST to get people to use that auto clicker software lol

ok, i am too drunk now.
good luck people, not a hard game to figure out
u can beat this just under an hour if you use everthing right

hahahahaha thanks for the Reward!! I was entertained by the game but the idle game style is not something I am well into.
Cheers

Nice to see an update, even if the campaign battles cost far more in terms of rehiring than they give in reward.

The sands of time artifact has no noticable effect? I have it equipped and yet my passive money production has stayed exactly the same.
