Steam Idler Fest until Feb. 10
Anybody got recommendations for some good idle games?
Don't forget to claim your free profile flair (if you're into that stuff)
I can't wait to not play these!
Games you can just let run? Dwarf fortress
I thought you just kept it paused forever until you were sure you weren't forgetting something
Thanks for this I picked up Crocoloco!
I'm "playing" Melvor Idle right now, and am looking for something similar, when I eventually finish it.
I would like something that doesn't have to run all the time and can progress offline, and doesn't need a lot of interaction most of the time. In Melvor you can just start training a skill, and then just wait. No excessive clicking, no rebirth, just waiting for numbers to get bigger.
Unnamed Space Idle? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2471100/Unnamed_Space_Idle/
It is pretty similar to Melvor, you have a space ship instead of a character. Ship automatically shoots baddies and goes forward. You upgrade the ship, it's parts, etc. Proceed to idle, harveste materials, craft stuff, collect bonuses, unlock new tiers of stuff... etc. It looks a bit amateurish, but it's pretty cool as far as idlers go.
It has offline progress, cloud saves & works on linux too. And apparently you can share your progress with android version too - but I dunno for sure, haven't tried.
There are mtx available, but even the game tells you they're not really needed, they're there for giving support to the dev - and I can confirm, the game isn't coin operated at all, you gain everything you'd realistically need through gameplay at reasonable pace.
I went down the rabbit hole of idlers last year.

Fortunately it doesn’t cost any money but I saw that one as pretty high tier among the ones I played.
