Great! – Almost a Hero - Idle Adventure Review

This is one of my favorite games. Pros: Pay to win is not really a thing here. You can get everything you need without having to pay money. There’s some skill involved in order to push to the next milestone. Picking what to upgrade and how to use mythstones is key. Ads are by choice only. You don’t have to watch them, but sometimes are well worth the reward. Routine updates to the game make it challenging to keep up. Just when you think you’re nearing the end, they don’t just add new levels, it new heroes, goals, etc. The new mythical artifact that speeds you from level 100 to (whatever level you leveled the artifact to provide you with) is a great token and time saver. The time trials are great and we’re actually fun. Gates of Gog is a nice addition. Cons: After level 3000, the goals are not worth obtaining. 500 scraps, 250 crystals? The lower levels offer so much better rewards. With the most recent update, the cost of going from regular artifact level 450 to 451 is too much and is not in line with previous costs and there is no warning of such a jump in price. I wasted more than 70DD mythstones upgrading the max level mythical artifact thinking I would immediately be able to upgrade a regular artifact with what I had left. Nope! There are quests that offer crystal rewards and that has been very useful, but the “Tap” quest seems useless at this point. The Ice ring goes automatically so there is no need to tap the screen. Plus, it’s an idle game - why reward someone for turning it into the opposite? Plus, the reward is not worth the time it would take to get it. Some new things in the game are not explained. For example, to the left of the Milestone description (more health, ring power, damage, gold) there is a small banner. That banner now has a circled number that seems to change without discernible reason. What is that number? Time trials had great rewards, but too few trials. It was easy to complete. Gates of Gog is nice, and it could be just me, but a few seem exceptionally difficult. “Hard” is not what I would use to describe them. With the latest update, there were no modification to the hero skills. I quickly achieve a level each run where skills are maxed out and rely completely on artifact power to get me through. The skills are maxed at about level 75 and I’m routinely getting to 85 or higher. ——— Cons list is long, but they are simply observations from a long time player. If you like idle games, this is probably the best one!
