About Archmage Idle

Train Skills. Recruit Wizards. Conquer Foes.

An idle/incremental RPG with deeply interconnected skills. Your skills feed the frontlines: Attunement, Summoning, and Sigilry power your wizards as they fight across an elemental hex map. Your skills feed the supply lines: Research, Runecrafting, Alchemy, Mercantile, and Scavenging keep the resources flowing. And skills you won't find anywhere else, like Chronomancy, Diplomacy, and Appraisal, tie it all together.Burn Runes in the Runic Cauldron. Train wizards at the Academy. Sell surplus goods on the Bazaar. Collect hundreds of items that fuel both your skilling and your combat. Your guild keeps working while you're offline.

not ready for release. been playing a few days and was really hoping for a new daily idle game but its just too much vibe and not enough coded/checked/polishing. my biggest gripe is that you're expected to farm for hours to gamble on what to unlock and how useless its going to be. giving descriptions before buying skills and upgrades would make a big difference and seems absolutely insane and conceptually goes against the entire point of theses games. also needs mid game tutorial for several less than intuitive mechanics

Linux version of the game does not work. I played by forcing the use of Proton. The game could use some ways to automate supply chains, but in the current state you just set it to gather an absurd amount of each resource you need one at a time. Not what I look for in a PC game. Probably fits much better as a mobile game you open for two to five minutes every four hours.

Honestly, for an idler game, its entertaining. Complaints about the inventory being too small are semi valid, except as an idler game, you walk away, come back after making money and unlock more inventory slots. Its a way to slow progression else you'd just be able to hammer through everything super fast. I think the monetization is fair (as far as i've seen but ive only put in a couple dozen idler hours - including obviously active hours in there). You get some good boosts from the vip and it supports the dev. I dunno, hits all the right places for me. its what i expected and for whatever reason, easier to get into than melvor idle (which i own but honestly cant be bothered to keep on with).
