## Review summary

Days Bygone is a highly addictive idle/arena-style defense game with rich progression, diverse weapons and heroes, and beautiful visuals, backed by frequent updates. Players praise its depth, variety, and offline play. Common concerns center on balance changes that slow progression, loot drop rates needing tuning, and occasional monetization/support issues, including ad rewards not always granted and unresponsive help. Localization is lacking for some languages. Overall, it’s a polished, long-lasting title for fans of grinding and strategy, though progress can feel gated after some updates.

### Pros

- Addictive and satisfying progression that rewards grinding without requiring money
- Deep and varied progression with many weapons, heroes, and upgrades
- Stunning visuals and music with varied modes and a polished feel
- Frequent updates and new content that keep the game fresh
- Offline-friendly and not overly reliant on ads for progression

### Cons

- Balance changes and nerfs that slow or gate late-game progression (e.g., crit damage nerf)
- Loot/drop rate balance needs tuning (epic drop rates and weapon rolls)
- Monetization and customer-support issues, including ad rewards not always granted and unresponsive support
