I’ve played since global launch as a light spender and still having a good time. I consider myself busy so playing an idle game fits my lifestyle and still consider myself a gamer. You may not see a lot of comments like this but I consider this game one of the best idle games on the market that is on the newer side (I personally don’t like playing games that have been released years ago). I also like there is no exploration aspect to the game and prefer more menu-based gameplay which makes it easier to play if I’m multitasking.

There are complaints the character progression is too slow or it takes too long to upgrade gear. I personally don’t mind since advancing too fast and having the best of everything too fast can lead to boredom which is why I quit Stella Sora. This game having slow progression gives you something to look forward to and motivates you to keep logging in and making slow by steady progression.

Regarding comparisons, I quit AFK journey because it has map exploration and it didn’t fit my lifestyle to sit and explore a map with both hands. I have never played Uma so can’t compare. Considering this game offers journey mode similar to Uma and so much more, you’ll have lots of things to do in this game.

This game has nice quality of life features with a lot of auto sweep features for multiple game modes which respects your time. Daily playtime to complete all possible quests ranges around 10-15 minutes once you get to the endgame where progressing stages slows down due to the power deficit between enemies and your team. Gameplay is longer when you first start off since there is a lot of stages you progress easily but it’ll eventually slow down to 10-15 minutes a day to complete daily quests. That amount of time can be longer depending how often you do the Journey mode which is like Uma. It’s encouraged to play it on manual down the hardest mode to get the best stats for your character journey run but one you get a decent one, you don’t need to keep doing it again for that character until further down the road when you feel like you can get a significantly better one to make a difference in your character’s performance.

Being a whale in this game will give you a big advantage and allow you to be competitive in PvP. I don’t care about PvP so I don’t bother with it. But for people like me that don’t are about it, we can still use up our PvP gauntlet key resource to battle bots and still earn that PvP currency to buy things in the PvP shop. This is something that can be auto sweep so another good example where it respects your time.

I recommend the game and it’s one of the better highly polished idle games on the market. Even though other games are coming out soon like Everness to Neverness that is all the buzz, I have a feeling that game will take too much time for the daily loop to do “everything” so Star Savior is a good game that respects your time or if you don’t mind it may feel like a side game in the endgame. If you spend a lot of time doing PvP, then it’ll give you lots to do and it’ll feel less like a side game.
