Critical Review
Having played this game for a long time now, enough that I am in the late stages of the game and nearly completed all three current universes, I can safely say that this game isn't as good as I had initially hoped. The dopamine fix from just tapping the upgrade buttons starts to fade away long after the stages where you get into the trigintillions and the monster that is the world of villains is so daunting to someone that they might not even make the attempt to progress with how little the game gives you for starting. The progression of the game grinds to a staggering halt late game and you become dependent on the ads to get your boosts if you don't want to spend any money. The ads are too long and take up a huge chunk of time to wait through, to the point I forget I was even watching an ad to begin with. The game is good, the first universe is exciting and it's satisfying hopping between both the first and second universe, the satisfaction of turning back time and going again in promise of a prestiege-like bonus is fundamentally a good addition to the game, but this game is like AdVenture Capitalist and their series of games, more complicated and related to space and the universe, I picked this game up because space is cool. The universe with villains is extremely tedious to begin with and go through over and over, and not being able to receive the same amount of stones for destroying it is unironically infuriating. I no longer have a method to speed up the game to completion and feel extremely dissatisfied that I have to sit for several days and weeks to buy one upgrade and then leave again because I refuse to pay sixty dollars to get enough stones to upgrade my multiplier only barely. The lack of use of power stones is lumped in with this category because I easily farmed World of Villains with them and now there's no point in having them anymore now that I've upgraded all my things with reality crystals to max. This game's only good when it's flowing smoothly, otherwise you are stuck waiting weeks for the progression to take place where your rebirths do absolutely nothing to contribute to your wealth and speed, forcing you to purchase from their store or watch heaps of ads to get the barest nudge in the proper direction to play. I think the concept and joy from AdVenture Capitalist is seen in this game and I like that, but the game no longer is fun in the late stages. I think this game is worth two stars, given that its become slop to wade through
