Melvor Idle Reviews

Very good idle game with various different mechanics and things to do. Only problem that like runecraft it majorly slows down when skills approach 99. DLCs give some extra extended content, but i havent got that far yet.

This game is perfect for a busy schedule. I can start a task, then close the game and come back later to see the progress.

Amazing idle game. It keeps the feel of RuneScape while still being it's own game, and practically a separate genre. The game is very fun, even if you don't really like idle games, as it is so different, yet so fun. If you think the entire game is just waiting, it's not. There is lots of content for you to *actually do*. It's a cheap game. The expansions are cheap. The mods are free. Way cheaper than RuneScape. The game is just fun, so just play it.

If you've been looking for an idle game, congratulations you've found the best one. God bless the devs and you guys.

As someone with an embarrassing number of hours invested ("wasted" would be a more accurate term) in that [i]other[/i] game, I think it's remarkable how close this one comes to scratching the same itch without the same level of pressure and mindless commitment.

Extremely high barrier to entry. I tried this game a while back, and dropped it because I was confused. Even with game guides and reddit, I was lost. Tried it recently, and just stuck with it. Things become clearer as I play, but it isn't really intuitive (might be the style of gameplay is new to me). After figuring things out, I've come to enjoy it. I am a fan of idle-style games, and this one has a lot to enjoy in that space.

runescape for people who didnt get to experience runescape? idk, havent played runescape

After getting wayyy too deep into coockie clicker (500+ hours, I know some people are beyond saving and have something like 10 000 but thats just seomthing else.) I already suspected I had a problem. Well now this youtuber who has to be evil to the core got me to try Melvor Idle. I did not think a game with even less gameplay then coockie clicker could be this scarily efficient at producing dopamin hits. I began overwhelmed by all the systems of the game, progressed to being "okay but what do I do and for what", to "If I run 5 min of woodcutting, then produce ent summons, then use those to catch jewels while fishing, then use the fish to cook food, withouth forgetting to first craft pig summons from previously coocked fish that are not that good of a food source, I will have leveled summoning, fishing, woodcutting, and summoning, AND made a good of money while doing so." - And this is just after aquiring the most basic understading of the game. So far I didnt even begin to understand runes and spells and combat as a whole, which seems to be the focus point of the game. The Progression seems a bit shallow at first when you compare it to a clicker game like coockie clicker where you constantly use the one resource you farm to upgrade your capacity to do so. But after 73 hours I have realised the progression is _much_ more satisfying then in coockie clicker. (in my opinion of course), the upgrades all feel much more meaningful for the tradeoff of getting them less frequently. In summary: I have a much bigger problem then I originally thought.

Basically the best idle game I've ever played. I have a save file that's about 3 years old (mostly played the browser version at work, don't tell my employer) with all 3 DLCs, and have 100% completed the base game and am currently grinding away at the DLC. I have nothing but good things to say for this game. For an idle game, it's got a massive amount of content. There are >3500 items to collect with DLCs (of which the majority have an actual function), 28 skills to train (each which have an actual impact on the game (besides firemaking, you can't make firemaking interesting)), >350 different monsters to defeat, and pretty good mod support on top of that. Combat can be both active or fully idle, depending on how you want to play, and there are a massive amount of items that give you small boosts that add up to be very significant together. Skilling is mostly idle (unless you prefer to micro-manage), and it has even more items to slightly improve speed or resource usage/output which together become quite powerful. Obviously this game is based on Runescape and its skills, but it adds a fair amount of original ideas on top and I still highly recommend to people that have played Runescape before. Both the Throne of the Herald and the Into the Abyss DLC are very good with a lot of content, The Atlas of Discovery DLC isn't bad either, it adds new mechanics *besides* the original content and skills, while the other 2 DLC extend the length of the orignal content instead.

Sadly, my RAM has been struggling for a while now, so I decided to play this game more. For an idle game, it’s actually pretty enjoyable. It keeps me entertained just enough while I wait to fix my setup. There’s something oddly satisfying about the progression, even if I’m not actively playing. If you're into idle games or need something low-maintenance to pass the time, I’d definitely recommend giving it a try.
