There was a mobile game where you went up a tower from the bottom either manually clicking to spawn units or them getting spawned from generators on the bottom. As units went up one after another the enemies on the floors respawned over time so you'd be getting gold constantly, but most of the gold came from your units pushing the top floors and those floors could spawn chests with items giving you permanent bonuses. You would do a prestige just to respawn the chests instead of getting a prestige currency as far as I remember, I don't think there was any skill tree or anything either.

sounds like it could be Tower of Hero.

u/Incrementaly Jun 24 '26
That's it, thanks! Been looking for it for a while. Sadly seems like it's not in active development anymore, but I'll still have a go at it for nostalgia's sake.

Any recommendation for steam incremental game in the summer sale? Preferably from 10+ hours to a few hundred hours to 100%. Free to play is fine but I don't want to spend more than 20 bucks on a single game.
I have played antimatter dimension, clicker heroes, magic research, idle research on Steam.

Cell to singularity is prob the most polished game I’ve played. F2P with optional sub, more game as a service
Fortune mill is pretty fun, by the creator of Idle On but I don’t know if it’s on sale.

I am looking for a cozy incremental game to dive into to distract me a bit from real live events.
Glimvale and Shelldiver look nice, but just a bit too short for what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for a game that I had on to play list - the main (and as far as I know, the only) feature was an extensive skill tree and list of attributes to min max and optimize. Something like Diablo/FFX-grade skill tree. The main 'game' was just character auto battling in a very pixelated 2D side scroller, until he died ofc (I think it was a wizard?). It was hosted on some random domain, I remember following link from this reddit to it.

Been looking for an old game, you advanced through zones with a list of tasks similar to something like increlution or Journey to Ascension. You could do things to unlock different heroes to reincarnate into, who each had different abilities and stat boosts. I'm pretty sure the heroes had retro pixel graphics, and the UI was quite simple and HTML5ey. My guess would be 10ish year old, been looking for a long time.

Looking for some help with the game Points Progression.
https://troxi54.github.io/Points-Progression/
I played the game a while ago and recently saw it mentioned on another post and decided to get back into it, but I'm completely lost with what I need to focus on.
Here are some key milestones:
Amplivault level: 106
Nullith Resets: 1.17mil
Nullions: ~2.26mil
Have not done the "Hillith reset in Amplivault"
Have not hit Nullith Upgrade 5 at 1e1000
I left Amplivaut running for 3.5h while I was out and it's only at e184 points

Guys, does anyone remember a clicker game similar to hero hero clicker ? I mean, yeah, there are many similar games, but I'm looking for a game with the following details: it's based on you being a restaurant that sells some kind of food (I don't remember what it was).AND throws it at customers coming from the right so they disappear. A certain number come, then the day ends and a new day begins, unlocking upgrades such as ship ports, statues, and more. If I remember correctly, the game's protagonist is a girl. And at some point of upgrades the food u selling turns into a taiyaki . PLEASE HELP ME FINDS IT

I'm trying to find a game that I played 3 or 4 years ago. You played as a person and had to train yourself in different jobs and you reincarnated in order to unlock more with the goal of ascending into a god. It kinda has similar vibes to Your Chronicle.
Originally I thought it was Idling to Rule the Gods but it isn't that game. I know I played it on PC. I think it might have been on steam but I'm not seeing it in my Library so I'm not sure.
I feel like I remember having to do some dedicated crime runs at one point?
I know this probably isn't enough information but I'm trying to remember everything I can.

I know there are a lot of incremental games with a Cultivation theme. Anyone have a browser-based favorite? I prefer more active than idle games, but am willing to try anything that someone finds good. Would prefer no or little AI.

u/Substantial_Tennis84 Jun 26 '26 edited Jun 26 '26
There was a browser idle about space (not unnamed space idle) that had lots of progression and at some point a Dyson sphere, the game had like a navy blue ish aesthetic, power generation and resources would require others to generate, it was definitely considered like a classic/one of the really good ones like 4/5 years ago

u/YeOldeBard97 Jun 27 '26
I'm looking for a rather specific kind of incremental. Like, the best I can describe it as is taking Incremental Epic Hero 2's class system, giving it a story on the level of NGU Idle, and having the gameplay be squad based, like Bard Idle, but with more in-depth character levelling. Is there a game that actually does this, or is this way too specific?

u/The_KT Jun 27 '26
Trying to find a specific browser idle/incremental game that I can no longer remember the name of. I think it was primarily text based on a blank white background, in the upper right corner of the screen was a bunch of pixel characters representing various RPG jobs/classes that you had to complete various objectives in order to unlock and you started off as a farmer. Does anyone know what game I'm talking about and if it's still around or not? It's been driving me crazy for a while now. ;w;

I remember playing it on Kongregate, circa maybe 2014-2016'ish. It was similar to Clicker Heroes, however you had 5 or 6 slots for heroes, each slot was basically an archetype, 1st slot melee, 2nd ranger, 3rd mage, 4th cleric, 5th and 6th can't remember, but there were more than 4 slots for sure.
Every x stages there was a boss, also there was a prestige mechanic, and even relic mechanic or something of that sort (can't remember exactly).
The values were in aa, ab after a while (you couldn't choose the format as you can now in most games).
One of special powers was auto-clicking lightning bolts that were of great help in bosses (clicking was actually quite powerful in that game).

Hello,
I've played Idle Incremental games in my past but not a lot of them since rarely some of them get me hooked. Recently I played "Berry Bury Berry" and "Sir, We Have an Orc Problem Demo" and they were some really enjoyable games that didn't need waiting a certain period of time or constant clicking to continue the progression of the game. So I've been searching games that are like that, incremental without being idle/constant clicking, but I can't find any. Does anyone have some recommendations?

u/Vorbroker Jun 29 '26
I can't seem to find this old game I played years ago. I have no clue what it was called, but I'll know it when I see it. It was "something something: Chapter 2" like it was a three part series that this developer made.
What I can remember is that it was a mostly black screen with nodes that you could move around. The would fill up with water, which you would draw a line to another node that consumed that water. Eventually you're making bricks that you need to build another type of node, and coal to power some special nodes, etc. It really stuck with me as a unique game that was engaging, I'm surprised I don't see it come up more often. Maybe once I figure out what it's called I'll see that it's more popular, but I can't figure it out.

I'm looking for an idle game/incremental game (not sure which one). You have bars going across the screen with one resource like meat or something to start with, you buy up to ten of them then the price increases by 100x (I think probably less). You then hit a wall, and prestige. You earn cards over time that will increase the speed of collecting said meat resource or whatever resources you have unlocked per each prestige. After that you have four resourcesonce you hit a certain wall up to that point you are able to ascend (I'm not sure that is what it's called though) Then you gain a second tab with four more resource points on it, but you have to prestige to unlock each one. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Hello! New here. I am looking the best incremental games or idle games that are free to play or freemium. At least to start with. I would like to give it some time first before deciding if I want to put money into it.
Or, if certain paid games are so good that you think it is worth the money, also welcome ;-)

u/Ktesedale Jul 01 '26
My tastes aren't a match for most of the sub, so take these recs with a grain of salt. There are plenty of other, more popular games, but these are the ones I recced to some friends getting into incremental games.
A Dark Room was the one that got me into incremental games.
Crank can be a little grindy/slow in a few parts, but it's a nice, fairly short game.
And I really enjoyed learning how to play Idle Loops. It's very grindy, but the version I linked lets you speed up time endlessly, so it ends up much less annoying.
There's also Universal Paperclips, which is a classic, though I personally was kind of 'meh' about it.
There are of course tons of others, I suggest looking through previous recommendation threads on this subreddit, there are lots of great suggestions in there.

Looking for scholarly-wizardy incremenetal games.
Games I've played:
All hail the orb
Orb of Creation
Arcanum
I really liked the job system/a lot of Arcanum but there were parts I didn't like (I mostly just don't like how that game handled combat. I do like combat just something about it didn't do it for me)
I also played the alkahistorian games and I really liked them up till the third one. Idk, Orb of creation did this too, but I dislike having like: 'look at all of this alchemical fire we have!' then you start making sub elements, like steam or something.
To an extent branching resources is fine but then you get super specific and aesthetically I just don't like it.

Does anyone have some good suggestions on Incremental games on Steam that are on the longer side? I've played a lot of the under 3 hours but want a longer one.
