And just as I was hitting the limit of my interest, I noticed it has an Adventurers Guild, with drops of power ups, a map where you can build various structures, quests, expeditions, etc., etc.

But it's good for my brain, right?

I'm using it on Android. Possibly it doesn't have an iOS version.

I've noticed lately that several interesting apps are only on Android. It's a reversal from the previous decade when developers focused on iOS first. Of course that works for me. :D
