✦ AI summary

Archmage Idle is an idle game with interconnected progression systems that some players enjoy leaving running in the background, but it suffers from poor UI design, excessive grinding requirements, and a lack of meaningful progression in mid to late game. Players praise the initial gameplay loop and how systems connect together, but complain about hidden settings, extremely low drop rates, the need to sacrifice resources between unlocking and using mechanics, and diminishing interactivity as you advance.

Basically better Melvor. The systems are more intertwined and progress is needed in all skills to advance efficiently Buying storage is the one system I'd have hoped to see more improvements to, however. It feels as unnecessary as it does in Melvor; it's just a speed bump that you can't live without, so there's no interesting decisions to be made around it.

Great Melvor-like game. There are a couple recipes here and there that could have been tailored a bit better.. but otherwise fine.

first impression is really good. It's similar to melvor but with a lot more intertwining of skills.

if you like melvor / runescape / heehoo progression, you'll like this. it's FREE, and any and all monetary purchases feel more like "supporting the devs" than "handicapping my progress," it's a marathon instead of a sprint and it's really scratching the itch that I've been looking at for, like, years at this point!

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
