464 Idle & Incremental games reviewed and scored, best first.
464 reviews
An idle guild-manager that has sat labelled "Early Access" on Steam since January 2017 with no update since that September — still installable, still free, and still collecting reviews from players logging hundreds of hours in a game its own developer stopped touching almost nine years ago.
4 / 10
A competent, aggressively monetised gacha idle RPG that ran for almost four years — until the developer shut its servers down for good on 31 July 2025 and deleted every account. It can no longer be bought, downloaded or played.
4 / 10
A NZ$12.49 seven-currency idle economy game whose own most-invested reviewers — median 23.7 hours played, well above its positive reviewers' 5.7 — describe a triple prestige system that resets everything for nothing, a save that "bricked itself" at 135 hours, and an achievement curve that halves at every difficulty gate.
4 / 10
A free-to-play mobile idle tavern-and-hero-management game ported to Steam in June 2023, whose ad-watch buttons routinely fail to load on PC and whose only post-launch fix, by the reviews' own account, arrived within its first two weeks.
4 / 10
A NZ$1.59 zombie-themed idle clicker with a defined 50-level endpoint, a prestige system added by later patches, and a review corpus that's split between genuine affection for its low-poly charm and recognition that it's one of at least four near-identical releases from the same developer in 2022.
4 / 10
A NZ$2.99 satire of Steam's own trading-card economy, where bots buy, sell and craft cards into badges to push a level counter upward — a clever premise that Steam's tiny, Mixed-rated review corpus says never grows past its opening idea.
4 / 10
A NZ$3.19 merge-idler about evolving cats through drag-and-drop merges — clean on monetisation, but backed by so little player evidence (two English Steam reviews in four years, zero concurrent players at time of writing) that its own storefront can't muster a score.
4 / 10
A cheap idle dungeon-crawler with a genuinely likeable opening hour, undone by a prestige loop that adds numbers instead of content, save-breaking bugs, and a developer who appears to have walked away within weeks of launch.
4 / 10
A free-to-play idle magic academy sim whose store page promises "fully idle progression," while its small review sample describes a punishingly slow start, a key semi-idle item that got quietly nerfed out of usefulness, and AI-generated art and music the developer's own disclosure confirms.
4 / 10
A free browser-turned-Steam idle MMORPG whose day-one launch put brand-new players into the same PvP world as six-month veterans past level 4,000 — fixed within 24 hours by a fast, transparent developer response, but sitting alongside monetisation and design complaints that haven't gone away since.
4 / 10
A Cookie Clicker-shaped duck-collecting idler with no Steam achievements, reportedly slow-to-frustrating progression, and a free identical Android release — both of its two Steam reviews are negative.
3.8 / 10
A space-mining idle game that patched hard for ten straight months after its August 2022 Early Access launch, then went quiet in mid-2023 with its progression math still broken — four years and no 1.0 later, its own most dedicated reviewers call it the worst idle game they've played.
3.5 / 10
Fury Games Production's 2018 budget clicker promises a tycoon and delivers a five-achievement tap loop that its own tiny review base says is finished, and forgotten, within an afternoon.
3.5 / 10
A googly-eyed hot dog and an avocado in a cape are stapled onto what is, underneath, an off-the-shelf gacha MMO engine — VIP passes, loot-box "Treasure Hunts" and all — and the comedy skin does nothing to soften a monetisation stack aggressive enough that its own review score is now under public dispute.
3.5 / 10
A cheap solo-developer idle RPG whose launch week produced one of the more one-sided review corpora in this library — a near-unanimous complaint about a bewildering interface, compounded by repeated, independently corroborated reports of the developer deleting critical reviews and banning players who asked for help.
3.5 / 10
A solo-developed idle dungeon crawler that Steam reviewers say had a genuinely promising loop -- undone by save-corrupting bugs and a developer who publicly gave up on fixing the Steam build three days after launch.
3.5 / 10
A NZ$6.29 pixel-art idle-exploration RPG that pairs a genuinely appealing loop — explore fogged tiles, build a town, auto-fight through a side-scrolling combat screen — with balance so broken that its own players report HP-boosting gear leaving them with less HP, and a patch history that stops two days after a January 2022 launch.
3.5 / 10
A minimalist idle clicker from the same solo developer as The Billion Clicker -- this time undone not by an exploitable shortcut but by a balance curve reviewers describe as backwards, where per-click power falls as upgrade costs climb.
3.5 / 10
An Early Access satirical city-building incremental with a genuinely interesting hook — buildings you can see and place, not just an abstract number going up — abandoned by its developer within months of an August 2023 launch, with the same game-breaking bugs still unpatched three years later.
3.5 / 10
A free-to-play mobile idle dungeon crawler ported to Steam with a price tag but without a rebalance, leaving the energy gates and premium-currency walls in place while removing the only way to actually get past them.
3.5 / 10
A free, charmingly drawn idle RPG whose developer publicly acknowledged a save-corrupting bug two days after launch and then, on the evidence of its own update feed, never actually fixed it — with players still reporting lost progress from the same issue nearly a year later.
3.5 / 10
A NZ$3.69 mobile port that charges upfront and then layers in-app purchases on top anyway — the single complaint its small review corpus has repeated, unprompted, for eight straight years, alongside a progression wall around planet 40-60 and a broken "offline progress" promise that shows up twice, four years apart.
3.5 / 10
A free Early Access idle RPG that promised a dozen interlocking skills in the mould of Melvor Idle, shipped one substantial content patch, and has since vanished from Steam entirely.
3.5 / 10
A free pixel-art clicker from developer E-Crew, built on the same chest-and-card "idle collectible" template as Adventure Communist and Cell to Singularity, abandoned six weeks after its March 2023 launch.
