464 Idle & Incremental games reviewed and scored, best first.
464 reviews
A NZ$5.99 xianxia-styled idle action-RPG almost nobody reviews in English — 95 of its 98 Steam reviews are Chinese, several from players with 200-plus hours reporting the game losing their entire save, on a title whose developer has spent the last two years promoting a newer game through this one's own news feed instead of patching it.
5 / 10
A free-to-play idle RPG about farming, fishing and fighting for scrap, released by solo developer blevsoft in December 2023 and left without a content update since January 2024.
5 / 10
A free-to-play sci-fi idler in ongoing Early Access since October 2023, built as an authorised spiritual successor to Idle Space Raider and Transport Defender, undercut by a prestige loop that pays out less on every reset and a store-page offline-progress promise several reviewers say doesn't hold up.
5 / 10
A NZ$5.99 idle cultivation RPG sequel that dropped nine of its predecessor's ten interface languages — English included — while adding a stock-speculation minigame and a gacha "prayer bead" pull; Mixed across 68 reviews, against the original's Very Positive 84%.
5 / 10
A free solo-developer idle sim about running a weapon shop, prestiging into a town, and sending adventurers out to die for profit — a genuinely distinctive premise undercut by a near-total absence of tutorial explanation and two separate multi-month stretches where updates simply stopped.
5 / 10
A NZ$8.99 solo-developed idle cultivation RPG that reviewers repeatedly call "a cut-price Melvor Idle in xianxia clothing" — Mixed across 87 reviews, with a strong 2025 run undone by a dead-quiet Early Access: no update since 11 June 2025, and its own Steam interface page marks English support as "Not supported," which is why not one of those 87 reviews is in English.
5 / 10
PlayFlock's free asylum-horror clicker still has real atmosphere and a genuinely distinct art direction, but its own player base has spent a decade reporting the exact same progression wall around level 2000, and nobody at the studio has touched it since 2020.
5 / 10
A free-to-play sci-fi idle game split almost exactly down the middle, with "AI slop" the single most repeated word in its negative reviews — and a store-page disclosure confirming AI tools were used across art, writing and UI text, rather than leaving that complaint unverified.
5 / 10
A free clicker-RPG hybrid with real equipment-crafting depth behind the big damage numbers, whose own developer has now documented, in public and in unusually plain language, why it launched rocky, never recovered, and was abandoned nine months later.
5 / 10
A genuinely distinctive four-panel idle RPG about commanding up to eight heroes at once, with real fans logging four-digit hour counts, undercut by a free-to-play model a large share of reviewers call predatory for specifically monetising the ability to idle at all, plus unexplained account bans and an unusual pattern of frequent server connections a smaller cluster finds alarming.
5 / 10
A NZ$2.99 click-to-build island tycoon with no ads and no in-app purchases, whose entire Steam review history — five reviews, four positive — was written inside five weeks of its November 2023 launch and hasn't gained a single new one since.
5 / 10
A free idle game built around a genuinely beloved, emotionally resonant story about a cat companion named Kato, undercut by real, specific complaints that the idle mechanics are shallow and don't actually work offline, plus a screen-flashing effect some reviewers say risks monitor burn-in.
5 / 10
A NZ$6.39 mouse-driven incremental about melting waves of monsters and climbing a permanent upgrade tree. Its isekai title promises an RPG that isn't there, its most useful reviews are barely 90 minutes long, and a late-game visual effect has drawn a genuine photosensitivity warning with no in-game way to turn it off.
5 / 10
A cheap dragon-collecting clicker RPG with genuine "one more turn" appeal for some players, undercut by disclosed AI-generated art several reviewers actively dislike, punishing inflation-based economy balance, and a development cycle the solo developer has since confirmed, in the developer's own words quoted by a reviewer, is finished for good.
5 / 10
A Japanese doujin-scene idle game about looping rail carts around a base to gather materials and craft your way through dungeons, built on genuine long-term content but undermined by having no offline progression at all.
5 / 10
A cheap, small-studio idle auto battler with a workable persistent-upgrade loop, undercut by a very small early review sample that's split on whether the core auto-battle feature even works as advertised, plus a confirmed absence of cloud saves and a widely-reported thinness of content just two days after launch.
5 / 10
A cheap, dark-comedy skeleton-army incremental with real charm in its premise and a six-review sample split almost exactly down the middle — including two reviews that make directly opposite, specific technical claims about the same systems.
5 / 10
A free-to-play "idle fishing arcade" whose own promotional screenshots sell chest loot for real money on the Steam Community Market — Mixed across 1,612 reviews, with the community's own vote-weighted tags ranking "Casual" and "Trading" well above "Idler."
4.8 / 10
A cheap, no-frills automated-combat idle RPG from a developer who has released more than a dozen very similar games — genuinely relaxing for players who just want numbers to climb, undercut by a total lack of offline progress and a review base too thin and too non-English to lean on with confidence.
4.8 / 10
A US$5.99 Chinese cultivation-themed idle RPG whose own official English screenshot shows equipment names left as untranslated pinyin, whose single biggest review-corpus complaint is that the developer vanished for 17 months, and whose store description of the companion system turns out to be a garbled machine translation of a real, unsettling mechanic.
4.6 / 10
A very cheap sci-fi idle clicker whose ten planets and resources turn out to be copy-pasted variations on the same system, according to a strongly corroborated group of reviewers who each independently report seeing everything the game offers within minutes.
4.5 / 10
A NZ$14.80 clicker whose real product is tradeable Steam Marketplace drops, with a Mixed 61% score, an official "English" language listing contradicted by its own screenshots, and an achievement curve where even the easiest of 80 trophies clears for barely a quarter of owners.
4.5 / 10
A mobile-to-Steam idle production-line game with a genuinely well-regarded crafting chain buried under aggressive monetisation and, more seriously, a documented save-reliability problem — one top-voted reviewer reports losing an entire weekend of event progress despite manually saving before logging off.
4.5 / 10
A mobile idle RPG that borrows Digimon's characters and pixel-art charm but not its raising-sim identity, then buries the loop under two premium currencies, four battle passes and ads gating almost every wait.
