It's disingenuous to say that "90% of players can't afford 'premium' games". If that were true, consoles would have died out in the 80's. Freemium is a high-reward model for devs with high cost to the overall gaming community. I completely agree that devs (you) should be compensated for your work, I just don't like games that force it via in-game mechanics. Plenty of indy devs manage without microtransactions. I appreciate your quick replies and hope the best for your company, but I can't support a group that advocates for expansion of freemium development. It could also be worth talking with your legal team to explore adding a common-language addendum to the privacy policy explaining what you do and don't actually collect (since, like you said, you don't collect the stuff folks are wary of) to help put players' minds at ease.

In regards to my last comment, games are meant to be played, they're not meant to be paid. It's one thing if people want to buy something that gives them a little advantage, but this whole game is pay or little progress and that's garbage.

Too long to wait for library researches and really doesn't seem like it boosts anything. Also needs some way other than just the scrolls to be able to speed up the characters. I would have thought that we'd be able to get to the place we were faster than the previous round,. that doesn't seem to be the case. It takes me at least 2 hours to get to lvl 50 and still the same every time yet after getting more than 20 million firestones, just money bonus, no speed? No chests or anything from bosses? No premium currency from playing aside from a few here and there from chests? I been playing for days and haven't been able to buy from the shop once. This is pretty shitty guys. You've literally made a game that only paying users can get anywhere and that makes the game garbage and you guys pieces of crap. Holyday city was cool, the gold mine one was poop, this one is worse than poop.

Content is linear and bland, progress feels slower than most Holyday games. I was honestly surprised it was a holydaystudios game because in my opinion doesn't really live up to the quality of some of their other titles.
hi HazePolaris! As you progress further you will see that there are lots of innovations in this game and things that you haven't see in any other game of the genre. Also, we are planning to add a lot more mechanisms.Stay tuned and we are always open to listen again a more detailed feedback.
Thanks for reaching out RobertS2407, do not forget that there are a lot of free rewards(daily rewards, mission map rewards, quests) in the game that help you progress for free faster in the game. Try to gather those and let us know how your progress changes .

idle game should be idle, not "do these 10 quests every day, and H missions every day, and you can press button every 8 hours," it all looks like garbage mmo games ptw with 100 servers over, but even if game not bad after month you just do not want to go in knowing that you need to do all these dailies
Thanks for writing in Kitezh, these daily quests are for those who have decide to play a more active play-style and gain more free rewards in the game. You can always choose your play style.

"gold income in the last minute" or something like this would be nice to find a good farming lvl. Also please change the appearence of coins so we know how much an enemy drops

progress is far too linear. Please implement some jumps you can look forward to. As it is now its just only some +% here and there but there is no real improvement

Is the Honor effect bugged?
I see total honor 17 x honor effect 1% -> 1% to all basic attributes.
shouldnt it be 17% to the attributes? or did i misunderstand it

Game just feels way too slow. Even if you do maps 24/7, first rank would take 100 hours. Leveling the guardian is tied to same maps, getting chests is tied to maps and dailies.

It should be possible to rise attack speed. Game feels too grindy. Unfortunately you kind of have to use an auto-clicker, otherwise clicks are far too weak.

There should be an option in the settings to reduce the graphic. Also it should be able to disable the notifications on the left side (only show xy)

as to the lowerlights question ... can you make it able to swap gear with new heroes so they start off as equals with your other heroes ...lvl for lvl so if a old hero has a lvl4 sword the new hero gets a lvl 4 wand or whatever it is

i read all comments and i also vote to ban him, all good games have toxic players, thats why this Sandoumir does that he jsut found a good game to spit his toxic behaviour
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
by not banning him you prove to everyone how good developer you are on the other hand, everyone can see that he is just toxic and troll
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
just ban the Sandoumir troll holyday, he is very toxic for the community, kongregate does not need guys like him. His profile on kong is private cause he is a troll

BUG: If you buy the non hero/guardian upgrade with next milestone option, the single upgrade costs as much as all upgrades after you could afford, but you only get the single upgrade. To avoid, choose another upgrade.
Maybe someone can approve this behavior.
Best regards
do not worry, its only visual, if you buy it with next milestone or max etc it just buys the max number you can afford and gives you all the buffs. We need to find a way to explain it better visually though. But it works. Just buy it like that for convenience

Pleasantly surprised by how good this is. Nice job, devs! Do have one request: notification for finished missions on the left rather than just the map, as an open upgrade bar blocks the view. Thanks!
we had this during beta, but the players thought it was frustrating to have 2 buttons in the same screen for the map (the map button plus the notification for the map) so we simplified it to one. Thank you for your kind words, i am very glad that you enjoy the game!

I just unlocked boris and he is much weaker than my other party members because he doesn't have any gear. . . while I dont think its a good idea to get gear for characters not yet unlocked. . . it also isn't a good idea to get a new character without any gear because they are 5x-10x weaker than the other members at the same level
i understand what you mean, that was a hard decision to make during game design, in our studio we believe that some games that give the gear for characters you have not yet unlocked feels stupid and frustrating, so you have to unlock a character before getting gear. This ends up making the character less powerful as you said but if you send your Map Missions you get chests and he/she will be geared up fast. Chest can also be obtained by Quests and daily login.

it should be displayed how many coins enemies drop. As it is now there isnt even a visual clue where it is best to farm

i got downvoted for saying that i downvote haters, nice one. It just proves that you are haters lol, go do something with your life haters, Iphone is the best hahahaha
it's my job to reply to all the concerns of our players, Sandoumir may be saying negative things but he plays our games for many years, it's the least i can do for such a loyal player athorivos,

i downvote haters too, i have seen many people hating me for having an Ios phone, so i cannot tolerate such behavior whiners must stop
thanks for the support DimitraB, we have a lot of haters indeed...while the feedback we get from private messages is insanely positive. players like you give us courage to keep on developing games giving our soul in them

@Bonesmasta36 well, i downvote the crap comments, i play this game for 39 days since beta and i see some whiners that i see them in many games saying crap things, there are lots like me that like the game and support it. Keep on downvoting the haters guys!

Also, given the anxiety in the gaming community about overshare of personal information and microtransactions, does anyone else find it oddly suspicious that any negative comment relating to either topic is getting down-voted until hidden?
microtransactions is what pays our rent and our salaries, if you want quality games, support the system or else we would have only premium games that 90% of the people cannot afford. Also it's common sense that we do not track any personal information since we do not ask for anything. How can we know about your info if you don't give it to us? We do not even ask for emails, nothing at all, only your save file.

I clicked the free guardian exp and got 10 exp and it was put on an 8 hour cooldown. Yeah, don't think I will be continuing to play this game. I see where it's going.
both are free, you get the Strange dust from the map missions. I hope you weren't expecting for a game that finishes in 30 minutes. Idle games are meant to last for long time and be enjoyable for all free players. It's our policy that our games will be designed for the free players. If someone wants to spend money for support he/she is welcome also.
all quality games have microtransactions, it's the way we can pay our salaries and our rent etc. We do not have support from investors, we are an indie studio...

Vote boosting (4.7 when the game released, 3.7 after a day)..check
Collecting sensitive user data..check
Low effort cash grab..check.
Sad to see where did the idle gaming market sank.
the game was on beta for 40 days, people loved it and rated once we were out of it. I do not understand why people downvote for the GDPR that we are obligated by law to have while they play other games that illegally don't have.... also the game is meant to be played for free, there is no need to pay at all, like in all our games, we design games for free players and we will always will. Just play and you will realize it also.

Nice addition of hotkeys. One quirk Ive noticed is you cant use them in some places like town map,party screen, etc which would be nice

Dear Kongregate, add a new type of tags: "Personal Data" (background color:red), "Non-Personal Data" (background color:orange), "without collecting P/N-P Data" (background color:palegreen), and maybe " 'Spyware' ".
Privacy Policy (by Holyday Studios):
"and the URLs the User visited and/or apps the User used *before and after* using our Services;"
"Through the User's use of the Services, Holyday Studios may collect Personal Data and Non-Personal Data"
"Holyday Studios may collect information such as the User's name, email address, date of birth, gender and/or phone number..."
etc
do you remember giving these information? having these things for GDPR is a legal obligation that we can't escape, it doesn't mean that we do indeed gather these info. We don't actually. We only know about your save file of the game nothing more, and that is for your save file's safety. for example after a clear cache to restore it.

I don't know man... "Holyday Studios may collect Personal Data and Non-Personal Data... Non-Personal Data also includes... the identity of other apps included on the User's device,... and the URLs the User visited and/or apps the User used before and after using our Services"
That's a whole lot of data permissions to give a company I don't know or trust just for an idle game, and there's plenty more permissions than those...

idle champions is a great game that i also enjoy playing, i am sure that you can find similarities as you would find with any game that has heroes that fight monsters but the core gameplay is not at all the same.

This game is like Doom... But much Bore version of doom. Got it? This game pretty much ignores everything that hapened with idle genre over last 10 years. If it would release right after cookie clicker, it would be fantastic. If you don't have time machine to go into past and take this game with you, then skip it.

Why do i have to start from wave 1 after prestige? it is soooo boring and time killing ... i do not think i will play it longer when i have to do it everytime from the beginning!!!
It's GDPR rules, we cannot do anything about it unfortunately, we do not ask for any data from you as you will see once you play the game. Only your save file we store, no personal data at all.

What is your email to send a request to for you to delete all files and data(current and future use) produced by this account?
the only thing we can delete, is what we store, we only store your save file from the game nothing more. If you want your save file to be deleted from our server send a bug report through settings -> support. We do not keep any personal info, as you haven't ever submitted any. GDPR legal obligation is something we do not like either, but we cannot do anything about it...
