Dragon Cliff
Meta Interaction's 2018 semi-idle RPG buries a genuinely deep itemization system — talent trees, enchanting, reforging, scrolls, gem sockets — under rough localization and RNG that can make its best ideas exhausting to reach.

46 reviews
Gumballs & Dungeons
A free roguelike RPG port of a long-running mobile game — with the microtransactions stripped out, a year of updates its own reviewers said would never come, and only 49 English reviews to judge it by.
7 / 10
Minecraft Dungeons
Mojang's accessible, co-op-first loot crawler wearing Minecraft's blocky skin over a Diablo-style structure — broadly loved for local and online co-op, and carrying one specific, heavily documented complaint its own Steam reviews won't let go of.
7 / 10
Roll The Bones
A solo-developed bullet-hell roguelite where every spell comes from a six-sided die — reviewed on its complete 20-review sample, which lands squarely in Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne territory while surfacing one real, repeated onboarding complaint worth knowing about first.
7 / 10
Slot & Dungeons
A pixel-art dungeon crawler where a slot machine decides what's waiting on every floor — enemies, loot and spells all drawn as reel symbols you then have to walk up to and fight, not wager on. Distinctive, generous with content, and rougher around the edges than its 1.0 label suggests.
7 / 10
Soda Dungeon
A free turn-based idle dungeon crawler that bolts Clicker Heroes-style ascension onto a tavern full of soda-fuelled adventurers, charming enough that thousands of players still recommend it a decade after it started life as a mobile game.
7 / 10
Soda Dungeon 2
A free auto-battling dungeon crawler that lets you script your party's behaviour instead of just watching it fight, undercut on desktop by menus that never stopped feeling like a phone app and a save file that a bad crash can wipe outright.
7 / 10
THE DEEPEST CASTLE
A first-person melee roguelike built on a custom, hand-written CPU software renderer by a solo developer with a small but devoted following — several of whom address him by name in their reviews and are already asking what he builds next.
7 / 10
Theory of Magic
A free browser idle-RPG about running a wizard's lair that quietly became one of the genre's most influential designs, then got left behind by its own creator and kept alive since by a scattered handful of fans.
7 / 10
The Slormancer
An action RPG that layers levelling on top of levelling — your character, your skills, your weapons and your items all grow independently — and earns real comparisons to Diablo and Last Epoch for its first ten hours, before a near-universally hated grind wall right before the final boss undoes a lot of that goodwill.
7 / 10
Wizardry Variants Daphne
A dungeon crawler that resurrects the original Wizardry's cruelty almost intact, then wraps it in a gacha character-summoning economy that never quite earns the same trust.
7 / 10
10-Man Idle
A solo-developed guild management idle RPG with eleven classes, eleven tiered professions and hour-long raids, sold once for NZ$7.39 with no ads and nothing else to buy — an ambitious system let down at launch by dungeons and raids that don't repeat on their own, which is a strange gap in a game built around leaving it alone.
6.5 / 10
Bit Heroes
A ten-year-old pixel dungeon-crawler that never quite decided whether it wants you clicking through fights or leaving them to auto-battle, held together by a four-currency stamina economy that structures every session it doesn't quietly monetise.
6.5 / 10
Bloodwright
A dark fantasy roguelite dungeon crawler with a distinctive old-school RuneScape look and a genuine risk-everything extraction structure — reviewed on its complete 15-review sample, which reads as a small solo-developer project fighting real launch-week bugs rather than a broken game.
6.5 / 10
Drag'N Dungeon
A grid-free tactical auto-battler where a debut studio builds its progression entirely around unlocking a permanent roster of up to 40 voxel heroes across 90-plus numbered challenges — a real meta-progression system wearing a much busier genre label than its mechanics actually earn, checked against a launch weekend with zero player-count evidence either way.
6.5 / 10
Everfall 2: Idle Dungeon RPG
A solo developer's second attempt at an idle dungeon-crawler swaps out the save-corrupting mess of the original for a genuinely deep six-hero, four-party build system — but the review sample is still small, and the rough edges that sank the first game haven't all been sanded off.
6.5 / 10
Hellslave
A dark-fantasy dungeon crawler that spent 2022 as an underappreciated curiosity and 2025 as a giveaway ahead of its sequel — and the two waves of reviews it produced tell almost opposite stories about the same game.
6.5 / 10
Idle Knight
An idle RPG that swaps the genre's usual real-time clock for something stranger — your knight levels up from the mouse clicks and keystrokes you make in other programs entirely.
6.5 / 10
Nonstop Knight 2
Kopla Games' minimalist auto-run dungeon crawler grew a sequel's worth of heroes, guilds and elemental gear over seven years of live support, and the one thing that didn't survive the expansion is the thing its name promised.
6.5 / 10
The RPG
A solo-developed love letter to Skyrim, West of Loathing and Supraland that reviewers consistently say nails its first two hours — and just as consistently say runs out of ideas, and occasionally soft-locks, well before the credits.
6.5 / 10
Torchlight: Infinite
A free seasonal ARPG that borrows the Torchlight name and little of its soul, built instead around a genuinely deep hero-trait talent system, gacha pets that quietly cross the line the developer said it wouldn't cross, and a trade market that taxes you on the way out.
6.5 / 10
IdleTale
A one-person incremental RPG with genuinely deep systems — talents, ascension, raids, an enemy Codex that levels up the things you farm — that launched with real momentum and then went quiet for over a year without a single Steam review to its name.
