Gaiadon: Eternal Quest

My only gripe with this game is the 24 hour AFK limit,thus not allowing you to progress much if you don't start the game nearly every day. Otherwise the progress of the game seems to be fairly fast (at least initially),and you don't need to micromanage everything for hundreds of hours (I tend to check if there's anything to upgrade once every hour and continue playing another game). The high task manager usage on my i5-6400+GTX-960 PC is a bit strange though,the minimum system requirements seem to be outdated once a lot of in-game upgrades are unlocked and more things happen on the screen. Overall score : 9/10

Tentative Non-Recommendation, gets hands-off very quickly, leaving you running MMO-like rotational content that can last for weeks with little going on to ease the tedium. The early hours of the game can be rather confusing with the myriad of text and menus to navigate, but the game is otherwise rather passive for an RPG incremental. Not necessarily a bad thing though, you get tons of stuff to upgrade and optimize, be it equipment, skills, pets and the loadouts, even your party. The early game has you doing in game quests that serves as a proper tutorial, easing you into the game, while also optimizing every little bit of gain you can come up with whatever you have looted. So far so good. Soon you start to interact with the game's prestige mechanics. Along the way you also unlock new systems to strengthen everything you have in different flavors of interaction, be it idle, active, or in between. From here the game starts to pick up speed, literally, as you start killing things faster and attacking faster thanks to the new systems that contribute to your power for just interacting with the mechanic itself; the game has exps for every subsystem, that in turn provide stat boost…

Probably one of the best incremental hero games I played. The game has many systems working together, in my current game state I am still checking every single one of them to improve my builds.

Does what it says on the package, I'm still leveling up moon phases.

Last update proximate to 6/17/26 broke the game. Offline gains don't exist anymore and after the game launches, it'll freeze and then crash. Dev apparently thinks he's done "fixing" it since some people aren't having these problems anymore. I've uninstalled and ignored the game.

Genuinely one of the more fun Idle games I've played. It's a good mix of active versus idle gameplay, plenty of systems to engage with that have natural caps so you can shift your focus from one ot the other. Lots of 'number go up'. More importantly, the dev Nadukkon is one of the most communicative and positive devs I've ever had the pleasure to interact with. They're extremely active in their discord, give frequent updates and sneak peaks, and take tons of community feedback. They actively fix bugs that are reported and I cannot recommend this game enough.
