Reborn: An Idle Roguelike RPG

Reborn: An Idle Roguelike RPG is an ambitious independent title that combines idle mechanics, roguelike progression, and fantasy storytelling into a surprisingly cohesive package. Developed and published by Blake Farnsworth, the game centers on Katie, an immortal guardian whose existence is tied to the protection of a remote village threatened by the dangers lurking within a nearby cave. While the concept of automated combat is hardly new, Reborn distinguishes itself by wrapping its incremental systems in a world that feels lived in and worth exploring. It is a game that values persistence over intensity, encouraging players to invest in gradual progress rather than moment-to-moment action. At its heart, the experience revolves around an endless cycle of exploration, combat, and advancement. Katie automatically battles enemies while players oversee the broader strategy behind her growth. New equipment can be crafted from gathered resources, potions provide valuable boosts, and every successful expedition contributes to long-term development. The roguelike elements shine through repeated runs and permanent improvements, creating a satisfying sense of momentum. Even when setbacks oc…

Horrible loot system

I mean it's a fairly simple but fairly decent little Idle RPG. Not a whole lot to say about that from what I can remember of when I played it. It runs you go into the cave things die you get exp, levels and gold. I will say as an old school Mabinogian I'm a big fan of the "rebirth" system where it resets your level to make you grind them again but you get effective little bonuses each time you do this. All in all it's a decent game that mostly plays itself while you do other things in RL. I would imagine with how much play time I have I would say it's one I think is worth a play for anyone who likes this kinda thing.

An absolute gem in the idle game genre. I adore the story, the characters and especially seeing the village grow and change over time. I didn't except actually seeing the npcs do different things and hang out with different people based on what happened to them throughout the game, because even normal rpgs often lack this kind of immersion. There are a bunch of different progression paths and rich automation for tedious tasks later on, which is always a big plus. I can't say very many bad things about the game, because it kind of does everything right, even if not perfectly. There are only two major things. One, potions are severely overshadowed by everything else in the late game. You get so much stats from awakening, which is the 2nd (or 3rd) prestige layer, that stat potions which do not scale with it, simple become useless. This is only a problem, because potions are a late game thing, the big potions being unlocked at the very end of the current story. On the same note, as farming is only used for making said potions, it becomes a completely useless mechanic, other than the story assosiated with it. The second thing is not really a problem with the game, but more so about t…

Groovy

I love that it stays in a tiny window, my favorite version of this kind of game
