The best cross platform idle game out there.
Pay once. No ads. No micro-transactions. Just extended idle RPG.

Enjoyable idler with a lot of active options. If you enjoyed RuneScape, you'll enjoy this.
Modding community is vibrant. Cross-platform access is pretty seamless (Steam/PC, iOS, Android, web-based, all tied back to a singular cloud account).
I recommend you get base game and Throne of the Herald first. Both have decent endgames that get trivialized with the content from Atlas of Discovery and Into the Abyss.

Played for a couple weeks, passively (obviously lol), and I just could not get into it. I got Cookie Clicker (which I do recommend) and was playing this in tandem. Interesting enough idea, "Idle Runescape"? Heck yea! But, in practice it is boring and doesn't feel like anything is ever being accomplished.
One review said you'll love this if you love Excel, and I love Excel. And generally just watching bars fill up brings me joy (yes, I'm a blast at parties). But this game feels so inconsequential.
Now. I am going to go write a postive review about Cookie Clicker to cleanse my guilt of writing a negative review.

If you like the grinding of Runescape but don't want or have time to play Runescape again get this. It might look simple and different but it hits all the same notes as skilling in Runescape does. Just blast the OSRS music and have fun grinding !

For the record, I dont enjoy Runescape in any of its' iterations.
BUT
I enjoy this game, there have been times where I was giving this game more focus on my 2nd screen than the main one. Very fun game to run on your extra screen to check back here n there.
Even at full price the game is well worth it.

Probably the best idle game on the market. Its simple but quite addictive, its easy to just open it and grind a couple things on the side and just do other things at the same time. Its also fun when you leave things overnight and look forward to coming back to see how much progress was made.

I've played a few idle games but the UI of this game needs an overhaul.
Nothing about it looks too much of a game. Sure there are somewhat cool animations maybe even top notch by idle game standards. But they are not in the standard unscrolled view of the game.
I constantly have to scroll up and down and in menues. I think that design is inherently flawed. Atleast for the standalone version. I think playing it on the website you can zoom out a bit more which makes it less scrolling.
Plus the tutorial of the game is boring. You can skip it though.

really much more in depth than I anticipated! it kreeps up on ya but before you know it, youve got 4 characters youre bouncing between. I wish there was more of a story line aspect and some music would be nice (if there is any I have not noticed it yet)

This is a game that could take YEARS to complete. If you don't care about the graphics, then you should be good to go.

I've played incremental games for years, and several Idle games as well and this is the best I've found. Tons of content, lots of ways to progress and so many rare and unique items. My only complaint is I wish some of the township gear didn't count towards item total. Bag space is an "always" kind of problem.
