Cave Heroes just didn’t do anything for me. The graphics are rough, the gameplay gets boring quickly, and overall it just feels like a pretty forgettable experience. There are so many better options out there that I really can’t see a reason to recommend this one.

Cave Heroes is an idle role-playing game developed and published by VSTGames that combines dungeon exploration, resource management, character progression, and village development into a highly addictive incremental experience. Rather than focusing on fast-paced action or complex storytelling, the game centers on long-term growth, rewarding players with a constant stream of upgrades, discoveries, and achievements. Its simple presentation may initially suggest a lightweight adventure, but beneath the surface lies a surprisingly deep progression system that encourages experimentation and strategic planning. The core gameplay revolves around assembling a group of heroes and sending them into dangerous caves filled with monsters, treasures, and powerful bosses. Battles unfold automatically, allowing players to focus on managing equipment, allocating resources, and optimizing their team. As heroes defeat enemies and collect rewards, they become stronger and gain access to new areas that offer greater challenges and better loot. The gradual sense of advancement is one of the game's strongest features, as every session contributes to meaningful progress even when players are away from th…

Not really an idler but more of a simulator with idle progress "opt out of info" is a relic said from dev from mobile version LIKES AND DISLIKES really liked the idle game it gets less and less active as you progress and most of time its just running game in the background the progression also feels rewarding and constant, but the annoying part, I dont really like though is the events which require hrs of focus and need to be done frequently (2 or more times to unlock stuff) but their cd is 10 days and theres 5 events and some seasonal ones(similar to idle apocalypse but this is wayy better and its on pc! the only similarities is the annoying events gameplay loop is not rly similar at all same with features) GAMEPLAY: its main focus is heroes grinding enemies and theres tons of stuff u do to do that!(I dont really want to spoil) when your stuck u just wait for more equipment(you unlock this really quickly but theres qualities and lvls) or grind but the main strat to progress is just stack rage with divine aid(also unlocked instantly) /patiently wait and run around the map for it to restore OR grind materials,dark mana or equipment! really like the game compared to how unknown and d…

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

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.

Toxic Commando Game Pass: subscribe, or buy the key?

The Toxic Commando Game Pass add landed on 12 November. Our price record since late September shows the key route barely moved, which changes what a subscription is worth.
