Looks like a fun and nice game to play but unfortunately, I can't even get past Day 2 as there's a bug, which it seems others have reported more than a year ago, but till now, it's still not fixed.

AVOID for now, until it's fixed.....

This game by Artificer has the same play-style as Shadow Tactics, Desperados III and Shadow Gambit from Mimimi! And I'm loving it!

Please make a sequel or another game with this!

Very good so far! Although I'm only at the beginning of the game!

While I know it's gonna be good, at the moment, I'm only writing this review to get the Steam Awards 2024 Nomination Committee Badge! :D

Looks like another clicker game developer that does not respect players' time!

Some of the achievements tied to this game require you to get rare and legendary drops, which seemed to hard to get! 1000+ hours and out of the four legendary drops, I only had 1 out of these 4 so far (which was quite early in the game, perhaps lucky), but to get the other 3, it's like never gonna happen!

Perhaps, the developer wants to keep the "legendary drops" rare to push the market value of these items up on the Steam market! If that's the case, then please don't tie these drops with achievements!

Oh, and items are not tradable! They are only marketable!

You wanna get cute animal items for your inventory, great! But if you wanna complete the achievements here, too bad, it's gonna take a long time and perhaps, never!

I like that the developer made the Steam achievements attainable from the free part of the game, without needing the DLCs!

It's short, but it is a pretty fun and nice hidden object games, so if you're looking for more and wanna support the developer, go ahead and buy the DLC!

Really hate additional achievements being added to all these clicker games to make you grind more, especially once you've completed all the previous achievements!

What is worse, is that a few of the new achievements require you to buy keys to open cases, 125 of these cases in fact! Yes, another greedy developer!

AVOID!

-----

Update (More to add, since the developer replied):

Developer said, "Keys and premium cases can be obtained for free from free cases.".

Till now, I do not have any keys obtained for free from cases. Even if that's possible, the fact that I dont have it after all these hours shows that to get those achievements without buying anything on the Steam market is unrealistic. Again, greedy developer!

If you love games about grinding, you should've added all those achievements in when it was launched, not when players finished your few achievements and then, because you wanna lure achievement completionist in to grind more, you add even more achievements later! Some players do take a look at the complete list of achievements before starting a game.

Here's another clicker game developer that does not respect players' time.

1. Keep adding achievements (despite that this is not an early access game plus it was only launched last month) for players to keep grinding. I encountered it once after I've already completed it, and according to previous reviews, it seem to have happened at least once before I started. So therefore, twice already that I know of. Achievement completionists should definitely avoid this!
2. A few of the new achievements includes mini peaches. You're supposed to wait like an idiot looking at this clicker game for 15 minutes, where there's a chance a mini peach will appear (if you're lucky!) and click it. According to the achievement list, you're supposed to click 100 of them for full completion and at least 10 with no misses. Which means if you're very lucky, You have to spend 2.5 hours actively waiting and looking for at least 10 with no misses, and around 24 hours in total for the full 100 mini peaches. The developer mentioned it's a 50% chance of it appearing, which means it's more like 48 hours. Yes, not respecting players' time.
3. If you were to visit the Discussions page for this game, you will notice that every single thread has been locked. Not sure if the developer doesn't care to get more feedback or suggestions about the same topic or just trying to avoid criticism (perhaps even some were deleted previously, I dunno). I'm pretty sure at least a few players would have more to say about the new mini peaches achievements, but that topic has been locked as well.

AVOID!

734 hours in and still no "Legendary" drop, which is required for one of the five Steam achievements!

Respect your player's time!

Steam Achievements in this game are tied to seasons and are unrealistic. So when a previous season ends, you can only complete those achievements through the Steam Market (greedy developer).

Here's the developer's own words in the Discussion forums:
"As long as items from previous season, like packs or specific stickers, are available on the Steam Market, you can continue to use them to make progress toward completing your achievements."

Achievement completionists should avoid this game unless you wanna spend a lot of money.

This is one clicker game I really enjoy and it's quite surprising that I did not find it earlier, since the Steam page said it was released in 2016.

Perhaps some Steam algorithms is showing me more clicker games now with so many coming out, most for the developers to try and earn some money from the drops being sold on Steam market.

But this one is a true gem! And this one does not have any drops. It just requires you to grind and reach as far as you can, higher level, more powerful minions, better or longer active abilities and so on.

It is definitely gonna take a while if you are an achievement completionist, but I would say you would be having some good fun doing so over the time it's gonna take.
