Endless Battle: Return of Hero +1

Simple idle game that actually has several interesting layers. There are a lot of resources that you can gain and resources from one place are usually required in some other place. 1. You have a hero killing enemies on the field. With each enemy killed he gains souls that boost your resource gains on reset of the facilities. 2. You can reset Hero progress or Facility progress separate from each other. When you reset Hero progress you activate quests that you selected, when you reset Facility progress you get unique resources that increase production rate of facilities on the next run and are used in the next set of facilities. 3. Facilities provide mostly resources required for other facilities but also provide Exp for a hero and hero class. 4. There are upgrades for facilities most of which increase production but some also provide bonuses to the Hero. 5. There are Spells that provide minor passive boosts to different aspects of the game, they also provide unique resource. 6. Several...

A decent game at first but quickly grows stale and tedious. Each "layer" is basically a carbon copy of the first one with different graphics and names. It could use automation for the buildings, prestige, quests, and missions, but then there wouldn't be any "game" left since there aren't any interesting decisions to make.

Idle games in general are often free, with optional things to purchase to support the developer if you enjoy it. Putting a pricetag on an idle game means it comes under a lot more scrutiny than it otherwise would, because if an idle game is bad, at least you didn't lose out on anything. Unfortunately, in this case that's exactly what happens, this game doesn't hold up particularly well under close inspection, progress feels slow, active gameplay seems pointless. And the game doesn't feel particularly enjoyable to play to start off with, making you feel like the money you invested was wasted.

Maybe this is just the way I play idle games, but this seems incomprehensible without a guide. I'm only 30 minutes in, and there's already 4 different ways to reset my hero's progress (with no guidance or clear indication on which is best, and whether I should be doing this at all), and 4 different ways to reset this layer's progress (again with no clear indication on which of these, or when to be doing this). Given that there's dozens of options greyed out for just those, and that this game's description advertises having 8 more layers of prestige, I'm dropping now before it gets too outlandish. Other games I've played have either been more intuitive in this area, had a section of developer-provided tips built into the game, or had a sufficiently large community to write up advice on this sort of thing. Given the small playerbase, I'd suggest the dev goes for one of the first two; and I'd gladly play this game again if that sort of thing was implemented.

You shouldn't get it. I'm a pretty big fan of idlers and clickers. (Though, not addicted to them or anything.) I think a solid idler's a really charming, pleasant experience. This one's not very exciting or fun.

Not a 10/10, but still a thumbs up. Good value for a game of this style with a simple upfront fee for no IAP gem lockouts.

Overall 7/10 So, I am only a few hours into this game. This game is truly idle in the sense that you need to select mission times and prestige times. By choosing longer times you get more resource bonuses. However, while the timer is running you cannot change current mission or prestige. This is important when it comes to questing and prestiging. The equipment is setup through a gacha system where you earn points over time and have 4 different qualities to choose from. Quests are a bit frustrating. You choose your quest (up to 3), and then you have to restart a mission to make them active. Which means if you chose a long mission (4 hours), you will not be able to start that set of quests until the timer is up. Your hero auto-battles and when killed takes a few seconds to respawn. During that time, you continue to earn Hero and class experience. In addition, the mob does not regain any of its health. As far as I can tell to this point, there are no timers on boss fights. The game...

I started playing this game on iOS and was very happy with it. So I bought it on Steam and started over. Its goooooood!

Enjoyable idle with reasonable amount of content you can actually finish.

Very fun so far.
