What players say

Machick: 8.9h | 100% Achievements (24/24) Completed | Not Recommended I came expecting a magical world with magic chickens. I left with 83 crafted wands I've never used, a mute button, and a profound understanding of what "lukewarm" means. Achievement Breakdown Grindy Achievements: Yes (~3). "Craft 20/50/100 Wands" are the worst, you'll craft around 10-15 organically, then spam random wands to complete the rest...
