It's a very simple idle game, grindy to the right point but with good progression mechanics. There's an incredible lot to unlock and to discover.

I can't tell what got me so addicted to this game but apparently it got me addicted. It's simple, no music, barely any story. But just the look of how you're progressing further and further into the game just makes me happy. And hecc- I was relieved once I finished the last boss. In magic research all you do is building up your little text-based production while exploring text-based dungeons. Key feature is to "retire" once you hit an unbeatable point and -restart- the game with additional skills, upgrades and multiplicators which lets you progress further into your text-based adventure.

Ever wanted to be a wizard conducting groundbreaking magical research? This one has you covered. It's a unique mix of strategy and idle mechanics where you delve into the depths of arcane knowledge, unlocking new spells, researching powerful artifacts, and expanding your mystical abilities. The gameplay loop is surprisingly addictive, combining the satisfaction of incremental progress with the excitement of discovering new magical secrets. It’s a perfect fit for those who enjoy a blend of strategy, magic, and resource management. Great for short sessions or long, contemplative play.

This is a wonderful idle game, however the offline progression is a little less impressive than the online progression, making it a difficult choice for individuals who may lose interest in the game for a short while. I went through some of the essentially new game-plus mechanics, which were unnecessary and just served to increase playtime.

One of best examples of new wave of "Clicker" or "Idle" games - just clicking stuff once a day is not enough here, and it is biggest Win and Lose of this Game. You actively need to make decision and build plans for future, aswell as participate in battles in some Bosses cases, but in general the progression system and little sprinkles of story and lore are so well built and measured that i often caught myself just thinking about "i should do this and that" even when doing something else outside of playing that game. Very good, really loved the expirience <3
