217 Idle & Incremental games reviewed and scored, best first.
217 reviews
An active clicker where pickaxes are forbidden and bombs do all the digging, chaining explosive ore reactions across a cute 8x8 pixel mine — well liked by a genuinely international audience, with two specific complaints, an achievement bug and a rough endgame mode, showing up independently across different languages.
6.5 / 10
A coin-flipping incremental that dresses up Cookie Clicker's core loop in casino iconography, then undercuts its own momentum with a broken mid-tier economy and a prestige system that punishes curiosity.
6.5 / 10
A short, gleefully mean-spirited incremental game about getting rich by making pollution worse — genuinely funny in its first half hour, and honest that there isn't much more than that first half hour to find.
6.5 / 10
A dark fantasy skilling idle RPG that layers roaming named bosses and a weekly rhythm of world-changing "Blessings" on top of a structure several of its own reviewers, across four languages, independently call a close read of Melvor Idle — right down to the 99 skill cap.
6.5 / 10
A guild-management idle RPG with FF12-style Tactics scripting and concurrent party automation, whose launch performance crisis was corroborated by players across four language communities — and whose developer's rapid, well-documented patching earned real goodwill from many of the same players who first reported it.
6.5 / 10
Grumpy Rhino Games' 2018 cult-tycoon idler turns its tower into an actual production chain instead of an upgrade list, and its Idol-summoning prestige loop still holds up — but the studio has settled into bug-fix-only maintenance, and there's little new to chase for anyone who cleared the tower years ago.
6.5 / 10
The officially licensed D&D idle game turns line-up positioning into a real tactical puzzle, then buries that good idea under one of the most persistent monetisation engines in the idle genre.
6.5 / 10
A budget dark-fantasy clicker where you tap cultists back into worshipers with a cross, told across twelve moody pixel-art areas — handsome and short enough not to overstay its welcome, but dogged by accusations that its loop is a close reskin of another incremental.
6.5 / 10
A fruit-merging incremental that wears its debt to Gnorp Apologue openly and executes the formula well enough to earn Very Positive reviews, undercut mainly by a name that promises more hands-off progress than the game is actually willing to give.
6.5 / 10
A dice-rolling incremental from solo developer Lutsgames that sells itself on genuine randomness, then spends its entire upgrade tree quietly smoothing that randomness away — and the game is more interesting for admitting it can't have both.
6.5 / 10
A post-apocalyptic idle game built around a genuine grid-inventory puzzle rather than a spreadsheet of upgrade buttons, undercut by a prestige system that does the math against itself and timers that make "idle" feel like the wrong word for long stretches of it.
6.5 / 10
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
Kolibri Games' decade-old mobile idle didn't just popularise the miner-elevator-warehouse loop, it more or less invented the template every mining incremental since has copied. Ten years and a Ubisoft acquisition later, the loop still works — the monetisation menu and the interface built on top of it are where the wear shows.
6.5 / 10
A solo developer's cyberpunk idle management RPG lands in Early Access with a real premise, a genuinely player-friendly monetisation model, and — two days in — barely enough built to judge either one properly yet.
6.5 / 10
Lavaflame2's first idle game, and the direct ancestor of Legends of Idleon — the same skill-web formula in a single character, a smaller shop and a much shorter session length.
6.5 / 10
A free browser incremental where you grow a zombie horde one infected townsperson at a time, with genuinely deep golem, skeleton and rune systems sitting on top of the usual spawn-and-wait loop — held back by a punishing late-game grind and a developer who stopped updating it in 2021.
6.5 / 10
A polished incremental about commanding elemental golems to strip-mine an endless dungeon, with the best chain-reaction visuals the genre has produced this year — and a finish line most players cross in a weekend, despite the name.
6.5 / 10
A solo developer's yard-cleanup incremental turns raking leaves into a genuine tool-upgrade power fantasy — reviewed for whether a two-hour runtime and a single backyard are worth the Overwhelmingly Positive reputation, or just too little game for the price of admission.
6.5 / 10
A free island-hopping colony builder that files itself under "incremental" and then asks for more clicking per minute than most strategy games — good ideas, fought hard by its own interruptions.
6.5 / 10
A free idle mining game about drilling straight down instead of resetting to start over — Playsaurus's other idle series trades Clicker Heroes' ascension loop for one continuous 2,500km descent. What that costs the game, and what its ticket economy actually sells.
6.5 / 10
A free semi-idle RPG that builds a genuinely deep class-and-itemization sandbox — six classes, twelve specializations, three layers of gear tinkering — and then locks most of it behind a level-35 wall where the gold and rune economy stops keeping up.
6.5 / 10
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
A one-person incremental where you orbit a planet, drill it out from a laser turret, and work through four hazard-themed seasons to reach the core — a chill, cheap loop with a travel-time problem the developer never quite solves.
6.5 / 10
A NZ$7.99 mining incremental that puts a slot machine in the middle of its progression loop, then declines to say clearly what a bad spin actually costs you — a genuinely interesting hook, undercut by how little the game or its early reception have yet proven about it.
