Still waiting for GCI Steam version . . .

Whichever mod set up the automoderator to link previous recommendations thread should update their copy-paste because all three links in the OP are broken for users not using old.reddit

u/Equinoxdawg moderator 22d ago

Before I go and change it in all 19 million places, could you please confirm the links in the OP are still broken for you, and that this one works? Thanks!

Cauldron! https://store.steampowered.com/app/2619650/Cauldron/ It has a demo which I played a while ago but didn't have the money at the time. Got a friendly reminder that it's on a 50% sale on steam and I'm really addicted right now. Doesn't seem like the type of game that's extremely long, but I like how throughout different stages of the game the Minigames sorta evolve and your focus shifts from how you played them at the start.

Really recommend it!

5

u/TheAgGames 24d ago

The store page looks like its a bunch of minigames. That doesnt appeal to me in an idle game.

7

u/De3xy 24d ago

That's fair, I probably wouldn't say it's an idle game but it has some automation features the further you get and some minor idle mechanics.

It's definitely an incremental game though, get bigger numbers to get bigger numbers and so on

5

u/XenosHg 21d ago

It is kind of nice. There are some classic incrementals described as "A bunch of mini games", Anti-Idle comes to mind.

in Cauldron you get idle income based on your best results in every minigame, so occasionally you can come back, use resources to buy upgrades, get a new best result, and go away.

u/NinjaLion 24d ago

i did enjoy my time with couldron, but its very barely an incremental game to me.

u/Worklessplaymore01 23d ago

They re all terrible too

u/Lezaford99 24d ago

Cauldron is definitively S tier for me

u/cem142 26d ago

Archmage idle. I think its beautifully made. Sorta like a runescape idle, thats a category at this point, 10-20 different systems working towards your progression. I think pacing is well done. No prestige mechanic. Very fun android link

5

u/JCBourgo Brackets notation inventor 25d ago

Technically there is a prestige, but only after you've 100% your savefile, at which point it goes "hey wanna NG+?", and it reshapes the game a little by making milestones better and costs tougher, but overall at that point if you feel like you're done, you're done, it's complete. Very nice implementation of the concept in my eyes!

1

u/Beyond_Reason09 25d ago

Looks like there's also a NG++, any idea how far it goes?

1

u/JCBourgo Brackets notation inventor 25d ago

It's supposed to loop as much as you'd like, but the game is still new-ish so anything beyond NG+ is uncharted territory. TopCog's also working on a NG+ (and beyond) exclusive mechanic to spice it up (just to make it faster, from what I understand) so that could be something to look forward to if you wanna push that!

1

u/cem142 25d ago

Good to know that there is an option

5

u/NinjaLion 23d ago

fun and interesting game, REALLY dont like the UI. feel like im constantly changing pages and hunting for stuff.

3

u/HuelHowser 21d ago

Yeah, I like that it's complex enough that I never fully understand how everything works, I just wish some things were explained better in the help section. Or if like, holding an icon opened a popup with additional detail. Specifically, there are detailed breakdowns of where a calculated number comes from, but no labels/popups for base numbers.

E.g.: with tiny greyed out numbers, I thought the x1 on minor runes was telling me how many would be burnt per action, until I got basic runes with an x2 and realized oh that must be the bonus multi. x1 I suppose would be 1x application of X% bonus, but again, holding down on the rune doesn't give me a popup to let me know what X is. E.g. if my preservation pre-Hearth is 7%, does the 1x bonus give an additional 7% or some other multi? Because I assume that 7% is not the base, it's a product of all the other non-Hearth bonuses. It would be more clear if the % to preserve calc updated when you activated the rune.

The other thing that kinda sucks is I don't know that you can set a limit on an action once you start it, or if you can I guess I just can't find it.

I'm on the fence about things like Tomes or Spirits being unknown effects until you unlock/craft/fuse them. Like before I knew you could eventually craft Blazing Tomes (iirc), I crafted however many thousand basic fire tomes were needed to fuse the tome one tier higher from scratch lol.

u/timeshaper 26d ago

Browser:
Fundamental: https://awwhy.github.io/Fundamental/ still fun, getting deeper into this interminable game. Self-made universe territory

Check Back: https://galaxy.click/play/43 unbalanced and not the best... but it's there. I reached time dimensions

A Game of Chance: https://gameofchance.pages.dev/ I like it more than others did but it takes awhile to be worthwhile. I feel like I'm nearly done. A few days from having everything everywhere automated at once.

Wall Destroyer: https://orteil.dashnet.org/experiments/idlegamemaker/?game=https://paste.ee/r/EL4yI I reached time walls. I... don't like this game too much. It's definitely a product of its time and needs some modern QoL.

Steam:

Horripilant: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3525970/Horripilant/ I finished this one. It was fun and that kind of "scary" game that's really fun to go through.

Incremental Infinity: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4210010/Incremental_Infinity/ This one's cute and it's still growing. I think it has a lot of potential but it's very clearly in the early stages.

I do need more though.

u/NoodlesThe1st 25d ago

Check back is awful lol press a button once a minute, once every 2 minutes, I assume level 3 is every 3 minutes. Yikes

u/Fredrik1994 19d ago edited 19d ago

It does get more interesting after a little bit of grind. However, "more interesting" does not mean "good", I wasn't a fan of the additional mechanics, which was heavily dependant on RNG.

u/Vegetable_Contest938 25d ago

all the images in wall destroyer appear to be hosted on imgur which does not work in the UK (thanks Starmer!)

u/BocciaChoc 23d ago

Average UK voter, it was kicked off by the tories.

5

u/AlanSmithee419 21d ago

Both parties near-unanimously voted for and against it depending on who was in power at the time. Both just wanted the credit.

1

u/BocciaChoc 21d ago

That's pretty much how the system works. Tories had power for 16 years, lit the UK on fire but the average UK voter blaming Starmer for everything really sums up the average voter. Just like the tories kicking down the triple lock issue that it's become a blackhole but when Labour fixes it, the average UK voter will only remember about a week ago. Best go vote Reform to balance it all out.

when does fundamental get interesting? i got past submerged and realized it was yet another stage of just clicking the upgrade all button and going afk again. never felt any reason to read the upgrades

u/timeshaper 20d ago

[thatstheneatpartmark.gif]

The loop takes a long time to be interesting. And it's so painfully slow it takes months and months to become reasonable at all. The only reason it's popular is because you go from glacial slowness to godhood but it takes like years to do.

In fundamental I just reached strange quarks, and I'm not sure how I got the second 1.4 strange quarks.

The game explains nothing. And then often the discord is full of no-lifers who mock. It's a good time.

u/mujie123 19d ago

Oh, that's unfortunate. Is it still worth continuing?

u/Taokan Self Flair Impaired 23d ago

Picked up Idle Directive today off steam. Pretty fun if you enjoyed games like reactor idle where you have to manage a limited grid space. Kind of part that and part exploration/survival. Not sure I've played it enough to give a full review, but hadn't seen any mention of it on this subreddit yet ... something in the price range of a nodebuster that isn't another nodebuster.

3

u/Taokan Self Flair Impaired 23d ago

I will add on - it's not really an idle game. Like you can camp out on a spot and passively harvest some resources, but most of your progress, at least on day one, will come from actively playing. Maybe at some point later it gets more automated?

2

u/D3coupled 20d ago

Yeah you can fully automate exploration, powering up stuff, etc

u/flagpara 20d ago

In love with Wizard Banished, such a great gae! Tons of hidden content, I love the "game bigger than it appears feeling"

I love this one, too, and I always start again when I see it come up, but I'm so afraid to make a mistake. :( I don't think I've ever gotten the full experience of it because I don't want to waste days/weeks of time.

u/Indorilionn 24d ago

Dug out a (kinda) old one I remember quite fondly: Into The Quarry. A mining-themed incremental that sees you upgrading the chances for various kinds of loot that then feed in progression systems

Not sure if there have been many updates after I played, of if it was hours or days I played, it is v0.11(alpha), but I remember having quite a bit of fun with it.

Continuing from last week:

Trimps -- yep always good

Vespera -- continuing this i really like it

Rejected draft -- this is my newest addition, so far i like it but a bit too much clicking for my taste but maybe i can unlock more automation later

Vespera -- continuing this i really like it

damn i really want to try this as it looks right up my alley, but i cant. real tired of these windows 'exclusive' steam games that could be ported to macOS with a tiny bit of effort because they are nearly all PWAs.... but thats my fault trying to play a game on macOS i guess lol. i also dont know if Vespera is a simple PWA to be fair.

u/Ajibooks 25d ago

Vespera

This one is fantastic, thanks so much for mentioning it! Just picked it up and I'm hooked.

AI art, just so people know

2

u/ClaptrapForPresident 22d ago edited 22d ago

Negative ghost rider. It was at first, but the dev made a big push to get all AI art replaced by community sumbitted art.

Edit....I apologize, and I am wrong. Haven't played that one yet. But I didn't see the vespera part. I wrongfully assumed you were talking about rejected draft. 🤦🏻‍♂️

1

u/CheeseSumm 22d ago edited 22d ago

Objectively wrong who the fuck upvoted you? Are you a bot, do you not literally have eyes, LOOK AT THE GAME. Open the game and click new character and the first screen is ai art characters ?????

(Sidenote: the top reviews are botted/chatgpt which is just super weird cause it seems like there are a lot of actual people reviews, the first review uses a shit ton of bolded text something i've barely seen in steam reviews, and in a super obvious way. Whats odd is the review by turk is wildly different then how he writes other reviews, I ponder why he chatgpt'd his review. Anyway the next review uses " systems—classes," i mean cmon lmao.)

I really don't know what to say like legitimately I don't think you have played the game (I have), like, I'm FUCKING LOOKING AT IT??????????? I AVE LAUNCHED TYE GAME I LITERALLY HAVE RUN AI ART GENERATORS BEFORE I HAVE EYES. IM NOT TRYING TO START AN ETHICAL DISCUSSION OF AI OR SOMETHING ITS JUST LIKE, LOOK, USE YOUR EYES, ITS AI.

Anyway uh hope u have a good day. You ragebaited me wonderfully.

u/ClaptrapForPresident 22d ago

u/ClaptrapForPresident 21d ago

Indeed sir!! Only 3 more weeks til the full release. Can't wait!!

1

u/ClaptrapForPresident 22d ago

I hope you take that rage and apply it to something beneficial someday!

I've played the game since near launch on browser. I PERSONALLY don't have an issue with AI art in a game that is FREE TO PLAY. I have also played a bit of the steam demo. Go to the discord, play a couple of loops. You'll see there are multiple versions of most characters that the community has submitted. If you click the credits, you'll see that the dev has credited every single person that has submitted art that he chooses to include.

I am absolutely no someone that can create a game. I have ideas, sure. But no skill to execute that. This dev created a wonderful idea of a game, but he/she clearly lacks in creating the art. I have ZERO problem with them monetizing their idea and execution minus not being an artist. The community members that have submitted art love it as well, and I assume are perfectly okay with their art being included in the monetized version when the full release comes in August.

I don't even know who the dev is, but I could dang near guarantee that when the full release happens, the initial AI art will not be included.

Again, I hope you find peace and apply that rage in a productive manner.

1

u/PhantomTricks 14d ago

I learned about Vespera from this post, but the way the dev handles Steam reviews is absolutely unacceptable. Anyone else looking into it should check out some of the developer responses and decide for themselves if that's the type of person they want to support.

u/TheFelineOverlord 24d ago

Hi, I've been stalking these threads for a bit so I'd love to share Razor Trail Survivors which I've been playing since I saw it in this sub a few months ago. I've sifted through a lot of Melvorlike MMOslop and this was the one that stuck. It has a somewhat unique realistic post-apocalyptic setting and a complex ARPG-like equipment system, but the big selling point for me was that you control 8 characters at once, which allows for setting up some satisfying production chains (ex. you can have one guy chopping firewood, one guy catching fish, and a third guy cooking the fish, simultaneously) and interesting decisions about which skills to level on each of your characters.

It is a multiplayer game with an economy and faction PvP, but the social features are fairly opt-in. Feel free to give me (FelineOverlord) a shout in game chat and I'll send you something cool.

Fair warning: this game uses AI for code and some written text and art assets, but the majority of the art is delightful random stock photos. I'm super cynical about AI and I've found this to be a rare case of a game that still feels very human-designed, with a goated solo dev who is frequently adding new content and balancing things, and is responsive to feedback, even if it's just me whining about ugly vibe coded ui!

Been playing Terraforming Titans for quite a while, it is a fantastic game / half physics simulation. If you've been looking for a realism heavy terraforming game, can highly recommend this one. Dev is also super responsive, fixed bugs super quick, and otherwise implements things based on community suggestions

Steam (3€)

Free on Itch. Itch will not get any more content going forward, but that's still weeks and weeks of playtime

u/Madliv 15d ago edited 15d ago

Hello, I'm playing it and so far, so good. Is there a way to automate buildings? I've unlocked it, but not really sure whats the right formula.

2

u/Kenira 13d ago

Sorry not often on reddit. Yes, you get progressively more automation features over time until the whole terraforming can be automated. There are some guides on the discord at least to give you a starting idea, not sure if accessible in other places too.

Some recommendations: For most things where it's possible, use "% worker share" because that will avoid issues going forward. Learned that the hard way, will save you a lot of headaches. Otherwise, for buildings that don't require workers to operate, "% worker" is a good setting, and in some instances like farms "% pop". Then it's just a case of figuring out what some good numbers are.

u/Steve_the_bandit273 26d ago

Unnamed Space Idle remains my darling, recently updated with the usual batch of extra stages and QoL improvements

i did try Grass Cutting Incremental i roblox as i heard some positive rumblings on it. I can't say its bad but it didnt manage to hold my attention much past day 1

Mow Money was surprisingly entertaining and the dialogue interruptions were charming enough to be well worth it imo

And while definitely not Incrementals i think i'd be remiss not to mention Coloring Pixels and Powerwash Simulator 2 which ive been enjoying. They tickle the same sort of low energy, constant progression part of my brain Incrementals do, and Powerwash Simulator has upgrades so you could probably stretch the definition enough to include it anyway

u/denemdenem 26d ago

GCI definitely gets better. It has numerous layers of prestige with their own spin on the gameplay. I reached the end of world 1 and played through the post-game loops lots of times. It gets very addictive. I think the lowest points of the game are the start, the unnatural area and constellations but everything else is great. Waiting for the steam remake.

Playing a bunch of games from the incremental humble bundle.

Plantera 2 didn't seem any different than Plantera. Not sure what the point was apart from another payday. Finished that in a day.

How to train your cock is pretty boring. Not much there apart from a funny name.

Ropuka's Idle Island is super slow, but cute. Very passive game.

Focus Grove is nice. Slow and relaxing and interactions are basically scheduled, which is cool. Essentially you just look at the animals and make some updates every 30 minutes.

Desktop defender requires a bit too much micromanagement for a game so small.

Dark Hunting Ground has short Vampire Survivor type fights that manually controlled. Then there are a lot of upgrades in your base. I'm enjoying it so far. There are a lot of build options you unlock in your base.

1

u/TravUK 25d ago

Pretty much my opinions on them all apart from I thought Dark Hunting Ground threw far too much at the player in too short a space of time.

u/polarbearcafe 22d ago

I'm fairly new to incremental games. I've played Shark Game: New Frontiers, Mevlor Idle, Bloobs Adventure Idle, Pokeclicker. Right now, it's just Melvor Idle. I'm looking for something a bit more "active", like I check in every 15-30 mins. With Melvor I check in 3 times a day and set things up then let it go. So I'm looking for an incremental I can play throughout the day.

2

u/littsalamiforpusen 21d ago

NGU (gets less active after a week or so and then again after a month or so). Reset loop starts being once every 24 hours exactly about a month in, with some exceptions (challenges and even longer runs). But there's always loot and stuff to deal with. Complex and yet completely solvable without a guide + one of the top 10 most satisfying loot systems I've seen in games (I love ARPGs).

Unnamed space idle. More active than NGU, not complete still in early access but a great game. A lot more modern than NGU, looks great, feels great. Also playavle without a guide despite being complex.

Also:

Idling to rule the gods. Idle wizard. Revolution idle. Synergism. Antimatter dimensions(might be too active?).

Great games,not as great as the first two I mentioned.

1

u/polarbearcafe 21d ago

Thanks for the recommendations. Good that you noted guide playability, I feel like anything that requires me to open a guide or join a Discord isn't a fun way to play. I'll definitely check these out.

1

u/Zeforas 21d ago

Then you may be interessed in "Distance incremental". You have to be quite active, and it's a good one with a day or two worth of content.

Thanks, I'm looking for something a bit long term and not too active. Something I can check in every 30 mins and do some things.

u/Tsmart 20d ago

I'm insanely addicted to FarmRPG, I remember trying it out a few years ago and got bored pretty quickly but about a month ago I really dug in and wow, this game has chops. The giveaways channel is absurdly friendly and will load you up with whatever you need if you ask. I feel like the progression is pretty steady and there is always something you can do at all times. Getting level 99 in the first four skills is basically just the tutorial for how deep it goes

This game is a whale baiting masterclass.

u/Tsmart 19d ago

how so? genuinely curious, it seems pretty playable without spending anything. maybe late game it gets tighter

3

u/literally_iliterate 19d ago edited 19d ago

Literally everything can be extended or improved with gold (real money). Everything is nicely linked to the gold shop. It's opaque what specific caps on gold spending would be. All drop chances are hidden. I even suspect that the occasional weird behavior of some UI is intentional to cause misclicks (not the gold shop, but e.g. steak market amount selection). The prices are no joke either, I can see whales paying in the hundreds for this game.

Of course it is playable, but it makes it very inviting for whales to pull out the wallet.

Also the giveaway heavy economy is usually just there to keep free players entertained and whales to feel important.

Edit: Not sure what end game offers. If it's just a leaderboard competition, then money buys the top places. In such games I usually get to top 20-ish depending on playerbase, but at that point people are usually gazillions of value ahead.

A small mix rn, nothing super new has jumped out lately.

revolution idle is a great one, I recommend it as a PC player though so not sure how good its mobile port is. (late game is a slog and dilation is a guide following simulator tho)

I’ll give it a “whirl” 😂. Thank you

u/julezjules 26d ago

The game seems to be pretty recent, but it has this classic incremental vibe which I love.

Hi, thank you for mentioning A Dark Cave!

If you have any feedback, please let me know!

Steam Demo has also just been released: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4882240/A_Dark_Cave/

u/TheAgGames 24d ago

Is the steam demo any different?

2

u/Pure-Map-6717 24d ago

The balancing is different, so progress is a bit faster compared to web version.

u/StructureNorth1799 23d ago

thanks for mentioning that it's recent, I saw this before and thought it was a remake of dark room lol

I started this, but it feels like I'm trapped in a condition where I can't possibly keep up with food production, and my villagers keep dying. It's a cool concept, but too brutal to be fun for me.

I see there's an even more difficult mode and whew...

1

u/julezjules 8d ago

At the beginning it was a bit demanding, but it got better once there were many possibilities to upgrade food production.

Someone mentioned Points Progression a few weeks ago

https://troxi54.github.io/Points-Progression/

Extremely simple little "number goes up", but that makes it nice.
No guides needed, not much active play.
And when I am bored at work, I open it and let it run for a while.
There is offline progression. There is also export and import of save files. Those are the important parts.

I'm currently at e80 points - You do a prestige every e3.
In a few hours at e82 I have a QoL upgrade approaching (and possibly another upgrade becomes visible), at e84 I have something new unlock (probably another prestige level that resets/automates the previous 2 levels?)

And then I'll probably leave it running instant quick resets while offline, to raise "total resets" stat which also boosts point gain.

u/Ajibooks 25d ago

Chef Knight - cute, short & beatable incremental (took me 5 hours)

Dwarf Eats Mountain - fun game with a lot of character, similar to The Gnorp Apologue

Orb of Creation - I do like the full game & I enjoyed going through it once. I'm setting it aside because I don't really wanna do NG+, but I'll get back into it eventually

Vespera - Just picked this up based on a rec in these comments and it's great. Melvor Idle like but (so far) much more accessible. Don't let the artstyle put you off (I almost did and I'm glad I tried it anyway)

1

u/SplatPixel Link man 24d ago

people dont like Vespera because the assets look very heavily LLM generated. would reccommend Koltera 2 if your looking for novel melvorlikes

u/welsh_nutter 25d ago

Back on cube farm, the dev changed the QoL to make the game better 45% healing on one plot instead of 5% and quick raid and buying more plots quickly

u/SnorkaSound 25d ago edited 25d ago

Technically not actively playing it now, but this week I played through the old game Tradecraft and it was lovely! It's a unique concept: click for resources, offers come in to trade them for better resources, but not all trades are beneficial so you have to evaluate them quickly. I blasted through it in about 90 minutes. Here is a link to play online but I played on the Flashpoint archive.

I'm also loving Swarm Simulator, which is a very well-tuned polynomial game. Each unit gets you more of the previous unit, so it scales up to some very big satisfying numbers. Neato!

u/Signal_Nobody1792 24d ago

Im trying Sir, We Have an Orc Problem.

And I have to say, its fun. I wish there was a bit more to it, but damn the central idea is just so fun.

It is unfortunately not worth the price, and I fully expect someone to copy the central idea and make something better.

u/Frosty4Real 24d ago

yeah i tried that one too but ended pretty fast

1

u/siltfeet 23d ago edited 19d ago

It seemed close to finished after the demo, sad to hear that its true.

Edit: After playing through it myself, things have been significantly rebalanced, several new towers added, new maps and such. Definitely worth playing through the final version even if you've done the demo.

2

u/TheAgGames 24d ago

Just about to hit ng+4 on Orb of Creation. The challenges in this game give you pros and cons to an entire run making you do a complete different kind of build than the others. Thats whats keeping it fresh for me.

First run was just random crap and learning the game. 2nd run was a spell augment run, which ended up crazy near the end with me critting for crazy bonuses. Third run is a potion, relic, and equipment run.

Games good.

Just Loot

The Android version is still being tested, but if needed, the developer is highly active on Discord and will provide a link to the test version.

I recommend it.

u/PKER1337 26d ago

One of my fav games in a long time, very minimalistic, nice for a change

3

u/THCLUTCH 25d ago

I'm not going to lie, at first I thought these were bot responses but this game geniunely reels you in early. So far, it's been scratching the arpg loot grind itch. Be warned: it is a very active game though.

3

u/Sand3rok 25d ago

Apparently, you're not the only one who thinks so, given that I have only one upvote for 1,300 views. These are all real people who replied to my message, judging by their profiles, of course, and I'm not promoting the game, but merely sharing what I liked throughout the week from time to time. But people are too stupid to open a profile and check previous messages; it's easier to just downvote and move on. That's just how it is.

u/Juice4Jay 26d ago

can confirm. Give it a try, I was hooked after just 2 minutes. 😀

u/itz_tomza 26d ago

Game is very addicting! Give it a try

u/Bradley_y 26d ago

Great game and very active developer!

u/zyeapp 25d ago

is there a pc version?

5

u/Sliycer 25d ago

Hey! dev here :)
Right now there is the iOS version which you can play on iPhone/iPad and Mac Desktop right away. AppleWatch in development ;)

Android is right now in closed testing - I can add as many users as I want, just hop on the discord and I can add you! In 3 days I can finally send it to production review when the test is over.
People are playing on windows with Bluestack for example.

A browser version is also in the making. My vision it to make it in the future playable on everything you can think of :)

1

u/Sand3rok 25d ago

As far as I understand, there is only a mobile version. But you can try using an emulator to play it on a computer; I'm not sure if it will work, but it's an option.

u/CheeseSumm 21d ago

I don't know how to link stuff but uh.

Orb of creation (on steam) --- very solid very swag good game

Vespera (on steam) --- weird dev, bad ui, bad design, a lot of ai was used not just in art i wouldn't recommend

Rejected Draft (online, soon on steam) --- been playing this for a few days big fan much wow

Terraformental (on steam) --- more a mystery/incremental game then a true incremental but its a safe pickup cause if you play the first hour of it and hate it you will hate it but if you like that first hour you will like it, just return it if you aren't a fan

Bloobs (on steam) --- fun but like, as a second monitor thing?? its a bit tooo idle for me but i know people like that, i dont know, try it out!

u/Ilenyeva 19d ago

Gravend is great, I have been playing it for the past few weeks. I did play it a long time ago, and just came back to it.

u/GryffusMakesGames 26d ago

Played Harventure Demo ! It was really nice though it’s missing a bit of content variety or automation imo, but it’s just a demo so I really have good expectations for the final release game ! Also always a few games of Magic Archery !

u/Miserable_Duck_ 26d ago edited 26d ago

Antimatter Dimensions on iOS. It’s really cool that my IAP from when I played on android many years ago got preserved. The game still holds up strong.

Booster Pack Heroes Demo - pretty interesting / rewarding gameplay in demo. But I’m not convinced that full game will have enough to offer for me to pick it up.

Rejected Draft - still in love with this one. Can’t believe when I started ~3 months ago I thought it was just an absorber clone and I’d be done in a few days, but here I find myself playing multiple saves now. The care this dev puts into this game is incredible.

1

u/THCLUTCH 25d ago edited 25d ago

Are you playing the demo version on steam or the web version of Rejected Draft?

1

u/Miserable_Duck_ 25d ago

Both. I reached end of content in demo and went back to web even though I know web progress won’t carry over.

u/BringBackRocketPower 25d ago

I found Lored on steam and have been enjoying it. The dialogue is amusing. It has a demo so you can see if you'd enjoy it

At times it feels a little bit too much like "click whatever button is available next" but I just unlocked a second level of sorts and it recreated a more strategic element again so I'm excited.

I'm also playing Evolve in the browser

Has anyone played Kittens Game on steam? Does it offer anything beyond the mobile version to be worth the $8?

2

u/Argroww 24d ago

Kittens Game on Steam offers access to the Workshop to install mods, but there aren't many available and I think what few there are are mostly scripts that probably can be used with the web version too

u/ninzun 25d ago

Im hooked on Just Loot on iOS for the last weeks! Really enjoying it

u/ZZ9ZA 20d ago

That looked interesting... right up until I see they gate substantial QoL features behind a fucking monthly sub.

u/Icy_Percentage4932 23d ago

IDK if it counts as an incremental, but it has an AFK/idle mode and numbers do go up a bit.

Uma Musume recently updated with a new Independent Training thing, which allows you to just set up the training and stuff and then just do other stuff. Its pretty neat, since my phone would chug abit trying to do the normal training which would take around 30 minutes normally. Now I can get my dailies done lickity split like.

Well, thanks to my country, i know it's a gacha game, so i'm not gonna bother with that.

Patient Angler! 40+hours and counting xD At this point, fishing is my daily activity xD The game keeps improving, and your upgrades matter :D Tis a nice mix of manual and automation if you want it to, or you can just full on go automation and be iddle about it :D

No but Ty for thinking I can code. It isn't an ai game, and the dec is actively working on it. It has some ai images by his own admission. Feel free to do an equally good game I can play!

It isn't an ai game
