The deeper you dig, the stronger your tools become, the more your progression expands — and the closer you get to the mysterious core.Features:• Run-based mining gameplay with permanent progression• 33 unlockable zones• A skill tree with many upgrades and specializations• Artifacts with powerful passive effects• Unlockable and upgradeable pickaxes• Resource trading, backpack items and mystical conversion• Quests, archive systems and many Steam achievements• Support for 13 languagesDig into the Core combines clicker, idle and incremental mechanics with a clear mining focus. Every run takes you further. Every rock matters. And somewhere deep below the surface, the core is waiting.

Idle & Incremental Lovers warmly recommends Dig Into The Core: [i] If you're not afraid of doing the same thing over and over again, this is a competent "numbers go up" game with multiple layers of progression. Regular new features and patches: props to the dev! [/i] + Dig, sell, upgrade: a classic but proven formula! + Huge skill three, with new mechanics unlocked as you progress. + Artifacts, pickaxes, goods, prestige... There are more layers of progression than in your usual incremental digging game. + First game from this dev, who is very responsive, listening to his player base and introducing new features regularly (including a brand new prestige system). +/- The game as a coherent (and fitting) visual identity, but it's a little bland due to AI visual assets and images. - 33 levels (zones) of doing the same thing with different stone names felt very repetitive. (And there's no way to idle your way out since you have to click to start new runs.) - The story, which comes in very short snippets after each level, is also very repetitive. I thought it started great, as an epic and intriguing saga, but I quickly realized that each snippet follows exactly the same structure and …

Its ok for the 3$ or so, but it seems like every single map is the same thing over and over. story is so lame it could have been skipped as well. you collect resources, upgrade pickaxes which are useless at least at this point in time. upgrading pickaxes is even more useless since you better just go for the next best thing via gold instead of upgrading via resources and then end up in a worse place when you get a new one. Game isn't giving the ''numbers go up'' sensation. its kind of boring, just like all the other idlers recently.

Stay far away, regardless of the price This is 95 % AI slop, with the unbalanced and complete lack of logic to progression Skills that just stop working mid game German translations remnants when being on english version it also completly fails to understand what a incremental game is, you want numbers going up, and feeling progression going faster and faster, but here, its the complete opposite

The progression is way off. I maxed out the tree before level 30. I wont grind for hours to get into prestige. Not fun

I'm hooked - its a slower Incremental clicker game with some good builds and strategy, very good time killer. I am also excited to see they have prestige and some other stuff planned on their roadmap. Also plays well on the steamdeck. Easy 4/5 stars from me.

⛏️💎 Very solid mining clicker! 💎⛏️ At first, the game seems pretty simple, but as soon as you progress a bit in the skill tree, it shows its true potential. I especially love that some skills don't just increase your damage or stats, but actually unlock completely new gameplay mechanics – AoE damage, crits, and 🧨 DYNAMITE 🧨, turning everything to dust in no time... just so OP at the beginning 🤣 Later on, you get interesting items in chests or the marketplace to improve your runs and crazy auto-mining mechanics, which is tons of fun. I’m also super hyped to see what will be added in the upcoming announced updates. For this price and compared to most other idle clickers out there, this is a definite recommendation!
