955 reviews
A polished, charming solo-developer "unlosable tower defense" incremental — enemies march toward your walls and fall into a river of lava every single time — that's genuinely delightful for its first island before veteran idle players report every later island is a reskin of the first, and undercut by the single most-upvoted complaint in its review corpus: unremovable pop-up ads for other games inside the settings menu of a paid release.
6 / 10
A scrappy incremental about bonking chickens for cash and letting them mine minerals for you, with more mechanical depth than its price tag suggests.
5.9 / 10
Desktop Raid pitches itself as a piece of software you leave running in the corner of your screen while you do something else, which is a fair description of what it actually is. A
5.9 / 10
A budget-priced mining-and-horde-survival hybrid earns real praise for its addictive early hours, but a recurring chorus of reviewers says the game's content runs dry well before its prestige and roguelike systems have anything meaningful to offer.

5.9 / 10
A short, sweet incremental about photographing cats for social media clout, with an adorable roster and a loop that never actually grows.
5.9 / 10
Stellar Odyssey is a free-to-play idle space MMORPG from the small studio Stellar Games, released on Steam on 7 August 2026 after an extended run as a browser-based game — several

Xiuzhen Idle is a solo-developer idle cultivation simulator built around the xianxia genre, the Chinese fantasy tradition of cultivators refining their qi, breaking through realms,
5.9 / 10
A genuinely deep double-prestige incremental wearing a crypto-mining skin, undone by a UI that assumes you'll join the Discord to understand it and a leaderboard economy built on premium currency that decays before you can spend it.
5.8 / 10
Idle Squire has a genuinely clever pitch: it's an idle roguelite RPG where your keyboard is the weapon. Every keystroke you make, whether you're writing an email, coding, o
5.8 / 10
A busier, more mechanically ambitious sibling to Holyday City Reloaded, wrapped around a King Midas fantasy — but its optional events lean harder into gambling than its stablemate ever did, and its last patch predates that game's too.
5.8 / 10
A US$2.99 solo-dev idle collectathon — Pokemon's capture loop grafted onto a Forager-style island economy — that Steam's own review corpus calls "Mixed" for reasons that are mostly about launch-week polish, not the underlying design, from a developer who patched hard for five months and then quietly moved on to other projects.
5.8 / 10
A deep, community-loved incremental game built around a real pachinko board — drop balls, earn currency from where they land, buy upgrades. On desktop it's a well-regarded idle game with genuine staying power; on a phone, the board itself shrinks to a postage stamp.
5.8 / 10
Village Tale is a desktop-companion idle village builder from Knight Owl Games, released on Steam on 27 July 2025 in the wake of Rusty's Retirement popularising the format: a s
5.8 / 10
A NZ$4.49 Cookie Clicker-style incremental from EagleEye Games, checked against every single English Steam review it has — all 53, positive and negative — plus its own achievement-completion curve and vote-weighted community tags, which rank it an Idler and an Incremental well ahead of the official "Simulation" genre label.
5.7 / 10
An incremental bullet-hell where a pot-smashing frog hero grinds gear and abilities through chaotic biomes, launched with a grind so punishing it split opinion before a fast balance overhaul won a lot of players back.

Loot of Baal is a desktop idler from Gleamer Studio, released on Steam on 16 June 2025, that transplants the loot-and-build systems of Diablo II into a small always-on-top window m
