I think this has a lot of potential but i really cant recommend it. I spent way too long on this game without having fun.

Its too expensive for what it offers. Its extremely poorly balanced. Like legit, theres only 1 way to play. It gives you the illusion of builds by giving you prestige upgrades into certain dwarfs but you cant refund it so if you tried a run with Demo but now want to try Miners? Good luck, back to the grind.

The UI is unintuitive and the tooltips require SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION. I dont know what a "Transmutation Ritual" is, and the game never explains it. This happens so many times.
You also cant see what upgrades are available for the towers before you stumble upon it. I get the mystery but it just ends up being guesswork. Since you have "Mithrill" as a limited resource you cant gaurantee to get enough of, you kinda just haphazardly upgrade what you THINK might unlock something new and fancy but then get disappointed, run out of mithril so you have to prestige and start over just to see if you can explore something new.

I fell for sunk cost fallacy where i kept believing i was close to finishing the achievements but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ even after the ascension it was still slow as hell.

Hard to recommend. Progression is quite plain. It tries to be a Gnorp, but lacks a lot in:
- Ascension upgrades: They feel quite bland, not too interesting like Gnorp, which are game-changers
- Synergies: They're are very mild, if we can call them synergies at all

Overall, progression isn't slow, but it's boring. It feels like you're upgrading things and getting more resources for no real goal

It isn't well designed.

Prestige upgrade are very weak, and prestige points aren't really awarded based on depth into a run. You can be at 12 prestige points 10 minutes into a run and play on for a further hour and still be at 12 points. And you need escalating amounts of prestige points for higher tier upgrades, which are no stronger than lower tier upgrades. It's a boring grind.
