Recommended Sep 7, 2026

A nice idle game that has a good bit of content. Progress is fairly fast in the beginning of the game and slows down in later levels. The game's player market and rare drops really spice it up for me. Updates are slow, but well thought out and seem complete when they do come. Don't expect a short game that can be beaten in a couple hours. Pay to win is not needed as you aren't competing with others directly. The convenience that you can buy with the premium currency is nice, but the premium currency an either be earned in game or purchased with in game currency from whales that do buy the premium currency. I've been playing for well over a year at this point and have never spent a dime.

Honestly, the best idle game I have ever played. It has that classic RuneScape/MMO vibe with the skills and the player market, and the community is awesome, probably the best one i have ever come across. Highly recommend it!
