Stuck in My Party Is Grinding? So is nearly everyone else.
A player-run reference for the desktop idle RPG by SUPERLINK Inc. Every figure here carries its source and the date we pulled it. Pick where you are stuck and see how far the rest of the world got — these rates rise over time, so the pull date matters as much as the number.
Each of these is holders divided by owners, so both sides move. On a game this new most of them climb fast: on launch day the Act 2 figure read 0.2%, not because Act 2 was hard but because almost nobody had had time to reach it yet. They can also fall, when new buyers arrive faster than they unlock. Read the shape, not a single number, and check the pull date.
Five cabinets, right on this page
The Game Supermarket card above sends you off-site. These don't — pick a cabinet and it loads right here. Nothing downloads until you click one.
These cabinets are not ours and are not hosted here. They stream from GGEMU, which hosts the ROMs and runs its own ads inside the player. Rights holders wanting a title removed should contact GGEMU directly.
The five classes
Each class levels independently with stat points plus active and passive skill trees. You equip a loadout of up to four actives. More classes unlock as you grow.

Class names and the four-active loadout cap come from the Steam store description, pulled 2026-08-30.
Launch-day problems players are reporting
Coded from 11 negative reviews among the 17 most recent Steam reviews on 2026-08-30. Every row states its source type. A single review is a player report, not an established fault.
| Symptom | Source type | Reported in | Date |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Server connection unstable” — the client never reaches the menu | Official · resolved | Japanese review; fix published by the developer 2026-08-28 | 2026-08-30 |
| “You are banned” screen on a brand-new install | Player report | German review | 2026-08-30 |
| Boss is invisible during the fight; chests will not open | Player report · not reproduced | Russian review | 2026-08-30 |
| Kills give no gold, no XP and no drops | Official (store page) | Chinese and Traditional Chinese reviews | 2026-08-30 |
| Cannot drop back to an earlier stage to idle-farm | Answered by a player | 2 Chinese reviews; answered in a Steam thread 2026-08-27 | 2026-08-30 |
| Where the last two heroes unlock | Open question | 3 Steam discussion threads (EN, EN, zh-Hans) | 2026-08-30 |
| No auto-advance to the next stage | Player report · design | Chinese review | 2026-08-30 |
Category counts across those 11 reviews: design/mechanics 4, “copy of Task Bar Hero” 3, technical 3, UI 1, no specific reason 2. A review may carry more than one label.
The table above is launch day. Here are both readings we have, each with the moment it was taken: 1,642 concurrent players and 36% positive across 58 reviews at 2026-08-27T11:38:02Z (launch day, 53 minutes after the peak we recorded); 5,335 concurrent players and 43% positive across 356 reviews at 2026-08-31T02:30:42Z (four days later). We are deliberately not drawing a line between them. The first is a trough — we caught it 53 minutes after the highest number we had seen — and concurrent-player counts swing by time of day, so two instantaneous samples taken nine hours apart on the clock cannot carry a direction. They are here so the launch-day figures are not the only ones on the page.
Three mechanics that confuse new players
Kills do not pay out
Gold and XP settle when you clear the stage, not per kill. Several launch reviews read this as a bug. It is in the store description.
It earns while closed
The store page states offline catch-up runs up to 8 hours. Nothing needs to stay open for it.
Five elements, four mitigation layers
Physical, Fire, Cold, Lightning, Chaos. Damage passes through dodge, block, damage reduction, then armor.
Gear & crafting
400+ pieces across 8 grades and 12 slots. Only three grade names are confirmed so far — the rest are marked TBA rather than guessed.
| Grade | Confirmed by | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary | ACH_GEAR_LEGENDARY | Confirmed |
| Mythic | ACH_GEAR_MYTHIC | Confirmed |
| Eternal | ACH_GEAR_ETERNAL | Confirmed |
| 5 further grades | TBA · needs in-game check | |
Blacksmith: forge, fuse, craft. Mage Tower: engrave, enchant, socket, extract. Store page and achievement API, pulled 2026-08-30.
The Automation Pack DLC does the fusing and selling for you — what its two grade thresholds actually do →Steam Community Market
On launch day the developer wrote that they “plan to open the Steam Community Market within one week after launch”, with two listing slots free per player. It opened on 2026-09-03 with the Ver. 1.0.17 maintenance. Announcements read through 2026-09-06: the developer has since reported intermittent Market issues under active remediation, pushed the Market Slots Pack DLC to the following week, and opened Hell difficulty on September 6 at 00:00 UTC. Two published achievement names say Market outright: “First Sale!” at 0.2% and “Smart Shopper” at 0.2% — at or near the lowest rate Steam displays. Those rates predate the opening, so they describe the closed period and nothing since; a fresh pull is what would show whether they moved. The rates above were pulled before the Market opened, so they say nothing about it.
Figures last pulled 2026-08-30; announcements last read 2026-09-06. Full timeline and the published slot rules are on the Market page.
What it actually looks like running
The store page sells the idea; these show the thing in motion. The clip below is a launch-week run by a creator who came in cold, so you see the early hours rather than a finished account. Nothing here is ours — the screenshots are SUPERLINK's own and the video belongs to its channel.
