A solo-developed idle dungeon crawler that Steam reviewers say had a genuinely promising loop -- undone by save-corrupting bugs and a developer who publicly gave up on fixing the Steam build three days after launch.
3.5 / 10
A deliberately bare-bones idle arena game from a developer who mass-produces small idle titles, kept honest by an unusually candid pair of developer posts admitting the source code is "a real mess," that the project files were later lost for good, and that the game itself has since been formally retired — while it stays on sale.
3.5 / 10
A NZ$6.29 pixel-art idle-exploration RPG that pairs a genuinely appealing loop — explore fogged tiles, build a town, auto-fight through a side-scrolling combat screen — with balance so broken that its own players report HP-boosting gear leaving them with less HP, and a patch history that stops two days after a January 2022 launch.
3.5 / 10
A loving but uneven tribute to Majesty that nails the nostalgia and fumbles the follow-through, with a misleading sandbox promise and suspected AI art among the sticking points.
3.5 / 10
A Chinese folk-horror suspense puzzle game from Liminal Factory about a young Taoist priest investigating deaths in a mist-shrouded town, earning a Mostly Negative launch reception after a long wishlist build-up, with reviewers praising its character art and setting but describing a short, buggy, confusingly-guided experience.
3.5 / 10
A fully-voiced branching narrative RPG about Roman slavery and gladiatorial survival that opens with genuinely praised, philosophically serious writing, before an overwhelming, unusually cross-language reviewer consensus reports it collapsing into incoherent, disordered storytelling from around its third chapter onward — a pattern nearly every reviewer in this sample independently attributes to AI-generated content, though this review has not verified that claim.
3.5 / 10
A cheap idle merge game with a genuinely likeable core hook — combine roughly a hundred monsters into stranger versions of themselves — undercut by launch-week bugs that several reviewers say are still unresolved three years later, and an endgame grind wall that independent reviewers separately clock at anywhere from ten weeks to seven years of idling.
3.5 / 10
A free-to-play mobile idle dungeon crawler ported to Steam with a price tag but without a rebalance, leaving the energy gates and premium-currency walls in place while removing the only way to actually get past them.
3.5 / 10
A competent, good-looking Greek-mythology spin on the Vampire Survivors formula that both of its early reviewers liked -- though with only a handful of reviews on record, its long-term depth is still an open question.
3.5 / 10
A free, charmingly drawn idle RPG whose developer publicly acknowledged a save-corrupting bug two days after launch and then, on the evidence of its own update feed, never actually fixed it — with players still reporting lost progress from the same issue nearly a year later.
3.5 / 10
An officially licensed, gacha-collector Star Trek RPG that broke from mobile-genre norms by charging one fair upfront price instead of selling microtransactions, earning real goodwill from its own community — before the publisher announced in July 2026 that the entirely online-dependent game will be delisted 20 August 2026 and fully shut down 3 September 2026.
3.5 / 10
A free Early Access idle RPG that promised a dozen interlocking skills in the mould of Melvor Idle, shipped one substantial content patch, and has since vanished from Steam entirely.
3.5 / 10
The Bearer & The Last Flame is a $9.99 solo-developer souls-like action adventure from Dark Reaper Studio, and this review's full 17-review sample is Mixed at 9 up and 8 down, split between genuine appreciation for a one-person passion project and real, sometimes progression-breaking bugs that a rapid post-launch patch schedule has only partly addressed.
3.5 / 10
A pixel-art, RPG Maker-built turn-based JRPG about two reluctant heroes fighting a corrupting darkness, built around a visible-enemy, shield-breaking combat system openly modelled on Octopath Traveler, whose large and consistently positive review sample praises that combat while repeatedly flagging punishing early-game boss balance since smoothed by an active post-launch patch history.
3.5 / 10
A party-based RPG steeped in Celtic mythology and Kickstarter-backed by former Dragon Age and Baldur's Gate talent, Mixed across 230 reviews for a promising first act undermined by quest-blocking bugs, a second act many reviewers say is unfinishable, and no development activity since April 2022.
3.5 / 10
A free-to-play idle RPG built on a genuinely inventive premise — real elapsed time is the core currency — buried under a UI so consistently criticised that reviewers are still calling it unusable four years and a dedicated overhaul patch later, alongside a confirmed in-game cash shop.
3.5 / 10
A Nier: Automata-inspired action roguelite starring the Touhou Project cast, whose large Overwhelmingly Positive review sample praises its fluid combat, fantastic soundtrack, and rock-bottom price while repeatedly flagging real performance stuttering and a repetitive, content-thin roguelite loop.
3.5 / 10
A promising concept — a roguelite where every attack is a typed word, wrapped in a striking medieval-manuscript art style — collapses under a wave of bugs, half-explained systems, and a disputed AI-disclosure controversy that has left most of its review pool furious rather than forgiving.
3.5 / 10

3.2 / 10
A NZ$7.39 open-world survival crafting game with a tiny, split review sample — two of five reviewers report the game becoming unplayable within minutes, and no update or news post has landed since a week after launch in September 2023.

Read review of SuperKraft: Open World Survival Crafting Game
A budget farming simulator promising a small plot of land grown into an agricultural empire, met with a small but strikingly consistent multi-language chorus of early reviewers describing a repetitive, content-thin loop of ploughing, sowing and selling with no economy, vehicle variety or upgrades to speak of.
