A solo-developed guild management idle RPG with eleven classes, eleven tiered professions and hour-long raids, sold once for NZ$7.39 with no ads and nothing else to buy — an ambitious system let down at launch by dungeons and raids that don't repeat on their own, which is a strange gap in a game built around leaving it alone.
6.5 / 10
A NZ$4.79 satirical idle clicker that spent two and a half years as "Install-Fee Tycoon," a beloved parody of the 2023 Unity pricing controversy, before a June 2026 rebrand retargeted its wit at the AI industry — a pivot its own Steam disclosure describes with a wink ("we used Claude Code to help us with... the code, bro"), and which a vocal but small minority of longtime fans call a betrayal of the original joke.
6.5 / 10
A free-to-play idle RPG built around a wizard guild where every skill quietly multiplies every other skill — a genuinely clever synergy system undercut by a one-worker-at-a-time bottleneck and a VIP purchase ladder players have to climb tier by tier.
6.5 / 10
A ten-year-old pixel dungeon-crawler that never quite decided whether it wants you clicking through fights or leaving them to auto-battle, held together by a four-currency stamina economy that structures every session it doesn't quietly monetise.
6.5 / 10
An idle clicker that spends its entropy on the entire history of life and technology instead of lemonade stands, with genuine scientific content dressing up a tech tree that is more linear than it looks and a monetisation stack that leans harder every year it stays alive.
6.5 / 10
A one-time-purchase idle RPG that borrows every visual and structural trick of gacha hero collectors — six rarities, duplicate fusion, a 70-champion banner — and then declines to sell any of it, which makes it one of the more interesting monetisation experiments the genre has produced this year.
6.5 / 10
A genuinely deep idle civilization builder — a hundred-plus technologies, era-spanning wonders, a real global trading market — undercut by a headline feature that's been advertised for over a year without actually existing.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, addictive clickmash dungeon crawler with a genuine timing-based blocking mechanic, well liked for its first hours, undercut by a real difficulty wall between its first two dungeons and a month of active support that stopped abruptly in early 2024.
6.5 / 10
Devsisters folds its 300-million-player Cookie Run cast into an idle auto-battler with genuinely tactical positioning, then hangs the whole thing on the same gacha currencies that turned Cookie Run: Kingdom into a case study in monetisation backlash.
6.5 / 10
A free idle RPG with the genuine article — true 1:1 offline progression — attached to a retention design that keeps demanding you come back and play minigames by hand.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, honestly-scoped mining incremental about drilling a low-poly planet layer by layer for roughly two hours — well liked by its first handful of reviewers, with one detailed bug report worth taking seriously before you buy.
6.5 / 10
A submarine incremental where automated torpedoes, plasma and lightning chain across the screen while you mine the abyss for resources — a short, satisfying loop for most of its early reviewers, with one detailed complaint about a mid-run power-fantasy slump and an achievement curve that backs it up.
6.5 / 10
A NZ$5.11 incremental about optimising messy hard drives, whose Mixed Steam rating splits cleanly along a timeline rather than a taste — a rocky launch day the developer patched fast, and a slower, still-unresolved design gate that keeps a chunk of players stuck clicking long before the game lets them stop.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, polished micro-incremental about rolling dice into an army of tiny fighters, genuinely well-received but consistently described by its own fans as over almost as soon as it starts, from a developer who publicly promised more content and then, fifteen months later, announced a different game instead.
6.5 / 10
A short, charming incremental about a young mole drilling into a meteor crater — genuinely distinctive for giving its dig-upgrade-repeat loop an actual story, but held back by spiky progression pacing and a back half that plays itself.
6.5 / 10
A dwarf-themed idle mining sim that spent the better part of two years in Early Access before its July 2024 1.0 launch, built around floor management, cloneable dwarves and a slow climb toward daylight.
6.5 / 10
A well-built, DOS-throwback pixel RPG with real depth in its itemisation, pets and seasonal PvP ladder — undercut by a name that promises more hands-off play than the loot management and battle caps actually deliver, according to its own most dedicated players.
6.5 / 10
A mining-and-combat idle RPG, the follow-up to the popular browser game Haste-Miner 2, still running fresh monthly contests more than three years after launch — despite a prestige system some 2023-2024 reviewers say breaks the entire economy the moment you use it.
6.5 / 10
A solo developer's second attempt at an idle dungeon-crawler swaps out the save-corrupting mess of the original for a genuinely deep six-hero, four-party build system — but the review sample is still small, and the rough edges that sank the first game haven't all been sanded off.
6.5 / 10
A free-to-play, IdleOn-flavoured AFK RPG that gets the offline-progression fundamentals right and stays refreshingly uncomplicated early on, but ships an MMO label its actual single-player design doesn't earn and sharpens its monetisation considerably once the early Acts are behind you.
6.5 / 10
A first-person shooter where the targets are mushrooms the size of garden sheds, this short, cheerful mashup nails the fantasy its title promises but quietly breaks the genre promise in its own name — every one of its three short levels wipes your numbers back to zero.
6.5 / 10
A NZ$2.24 fantasy settlement-builder that most players finish in an afternoon, and does the rare thing of treating that as a feature rather than a flaw — the ending achievement clears more than half the playerbase, an almost unheard-of completion rate for the genre.
6.5 / 10
A hero-collecting idle RPG with real longevity behind it — five years in Early Access, fifteen-plus progression systems and no priced Steam DLC — undercut by a currency count that outgrows the player's patience and a guild structure that quietly punishes anyone without an active group.
6.5 / 10
A cheap, genuinely relaxing idle fishing-fleet game from a solo developer who patched launch-week bugs within days and kept supporting it for a year and a half, let down by thin long-term depth and achievement targets several players call artificially padded.
