About Idle Wizard

✦ AI summary

Become the ultimate wizard by choosing from 12 unique character classes, each with distinct mechanics, spells, and playstyles that evolve as you progress through this deep idle RPG. Master a complex web of pets, spells, items, and meta-mechanics like time acceleration and challenges to optimize your magical empire and unlock hidden hybrid classes.

Then try out Idle Wizard! It's an idle game infused with RPG elements, centered around becoming the most powerful wizard the world ever knew.
The core aspect of Idle Wizard is choosing a Character Class. You start as an Apprentice, and are able to choose various Classes (12 total, with 6 powerful Hybrid classes later in the game), from classic fantasy-inspired sorcerers to more unique magic-wielders. Classes use different mechanics to gain profit, are equipped with unique spells and items tailored for their use. While they're not unlocked all at once, all have use and range in power depending on your current progress and do not follow the simple logic of "the later it is unlocked - the more powerful it is now".
Pets are a very important mechanic in Idle Wizard. All of them have a unique role and purpose, and most of the time it'll be beneficial to use more than more than one per run.
Spells are paramount to your success (naturally!). After you get the hang of basics in the first few minutes, you gain your first spell-scroll and can start casting spells. Their mechanics differ greatly fro one another, from sheer profit or a buff, to meta-spells like speeding up time or boosting the xp of your pets! All the classes use a combination of common and unique ones, and sport quite a few possible combinations.
Later in the game you can unlock and craft Items to help you profit even more - over a hundred total! Experiment with different item sets and loadouts to find the best one for the situation.
Amount of available upgrades, achievements, and various more complex mechanics like Challenges, Trials, Catalysts and Expeditions allow for secondary goals and ways to boost you even more. There's much to learn and explore!

✦ AI summary

Idle Wizard is an idle clicker game where players click orbs to gain mana, unlock upgrades, pets, and grimoires over extended playtime. Players praise its depth, interesting mechanics, and cosmetics, comparing it favorably to similar games like Cookie Clicker, though some note the interface feels untidy and there are minor issues like missing volume controls. Most reviewers indicate it's worth playing for fans of the idle genre, though it requires significant time investment rather than quick completion.

See time played ^^^

Click the orb to gain mana and then use it to spend on mana gems and grimoires, you will unlock the more you play. Upgrades pop up on the right and eventually you will unlock pets this is where you can gain a few achievements as I believe there is an achievement for unlocking each of the different pets you can have but they all have different requirements so it does require time in game, some need to to have done x amount of manual clicks and some want you to be afk for some amount of time, you will have to go through and look carefully as there are a few different pets to choose from. This doesn't seem like a game you can spend on day on and then complete so prepare for it to take some time. One draw bac to this game is there is no volume control that I could find and it will get louder in places so I recommend playing without a headset.

Games like Borderlands 3: guns that roll, trees that branch

Games like Borderlands 3 have to do two things at once: roll a new gun every few minutes and make a skill tree worth planning. These manage both, and one asks you to craft instead.
