A pixel-art village-and-heroes RPG from the Punch Club and Graveyard Keeper studios that markets itself as idle and plays like a part-time job — genuinely funny writing and strong art undercut by a loop that never lets go of the mouse.
5.5 / 10
A decade-old free-to-play MMORPG with an extraordinarily dedicated hardcore playerbase — reviewers with 2,000, 3,000, even 4,000 hours logged — and a 2026 sentiment collapse tied to a specific new complaint: classes that used to be earned through play are now gated behind gacha.
5.5 / 10
Hyper Hippo's second idle game keeps the lemonade-stand loop from AdVenture Capitalist and welds two new systems onto it — a per-resource Rank ladder and a Capsule gacha full of collectible Researcher cards. One of those additions is real strategic texture. The other is a lootbox.
5 / 10
A cel-shaded, kingdom-building idle RPG that looks better than most of the genre and runs a genuinely competent hero-collection loop underneath — until its 0.2% top-tier gacha rate turns "collect dozens of heroes" into the game's actual monetisation engine.
5 / 10
The browser half of the Hero Wars split — the same hero collector as the mobile app, but with more systems, an older audience, and a payment rail that hands nothing to Apple or Google. It is the most transparently commercial version of one of the most commercial games in the genre, and it is also, on the merits, the better-built one.
5 / 10
A well-liked sci-fi gacha shooter with unusually generous pull rates is in the middle of a live revolt after a content-moderation pass altered or removed material a large number of players had already paid for, with no compensation offered.
5 / 10
An open-world sci-fi gacha ARPG with real exploration and character-design appeal, whose review score is being shaped less by its combat or its shop than by an account-migration process that a large, consistent share of returning players say permanently deleted hundreds of hours and real money without adequate warning.
5 / 10
A mobile idle RPG that borrows Digimon's characters and pixel-art charm but not its raising-sim identity, then buries the loop under two premium currencies, four battle passes and ads gating almost every wait.
4.5 / 10
Gravity's first open-world take on the Ragnarok Online franchise arrived on Steam four days ago at 25% positive — and the reasons turn out to be more specific, and more fixable, than a launch pile-on usually is.
4 / 10
Booming Tech's own developer FAQ promised this would not be a standalone game and would build on existing Conqueror's Blade characters. It shipped a week ago as a separate free Steam app with its own client, a gacha wall in front of core unit progression, and no siege matchmaking at launch — and 15% of roughly 1,950 Steam reviews are positive.
