The "tutorial" for combining items is just plain terrible. It would be much better to just tell the players what they're supposed to do rather than trying to show it in a way that makes no sense.
The UI is very good. Magic seed is probably the worst offender: Just lots of unnecessary scrolling because there are three separate strawberries for no reason whatsoever.
The "idle" part is badly done, the game doesn't automatically save and there's no reason whatsoever to force promotions on the player without an option to click "back" to complete the rest of the objectives or whatever. 1/5.
For all those who complain about the grind, it's not THAT bad. After getting extra gold from monsters skill at level 1, I'm getting around 1k gold on an average run.
"What are we researching?" "Oh, we're not researching anything, we're just trying to make this particle spin round and round."
I realize that asking for accuracy (especially in a topic like this) is too much, but you would think someone putting this much effort into making a game would at least spend 10 minutes reading wikipedia on the subject of the game.
The game slows down too much after the first reset and well, there just isn't much to the game: apart from spending gold paint, there aren't even any meaningful decisions, which means that the gameplay is entirely mechanical. Either of these things would be acceptable by themselves, but combined they make for a very boring game.
Needs a "restart day" option OTHER than reloading the current tab. Gets really annoying when you're trying to complete medals and lose several days to bad impacts or just failing a launch.
Gotta say the game gets too grindy towards the end. A dozen fights against enemies that are significantly higher level to level up? Doesn't help that the fights get a bit samey after a while. Sure, there's variety of strategies you can choose when building/levelling characters, but once you have a tactic that works well, there's little reason to deviate from it beyond minor adjustments, apart from getting some of the goals that don't happen naturally.
The assimilation bonus screens are STILL broken (how many months have you spent not fixing that bug again?), all the icons are broken, and cows aren't working at all. I just bought a homestead and either the cow I got is invisible or I didn't get one at all. I guess I'll try the game again in a few months.
