Endless Battle: Return of Hero +1
Simple idle game that actually has several interesting layers. There are a lot of resources that you can gain and resources from one place are usually required in some other place.
1. You have a hero killing enemies on the field. With each enemy killed he gains souls that boost your resource gains on reset of the facilities.
2. You can reset Hero progress or Facility progress separate from each other. When you reset Hero progress you activate quests that you selected, when you reset Facility progress you get unique resources that increase production rate of facilities on the next run and are used in the next set of facilities.

A decent game at first but quickly grows stale and tedious. Each “layer” is basically a carbon copy of the first one with different graphics and names. It could use automation for the buildings, prestige, quests, and missions, but then there wouldn’t be any “game” left since there aren’t any interesting decisions to make.

PickCrafter
What is “PickCrafter”?
PickCrafter is a clicker game with idle elements that was based on Minecraft and its clones. The game’s unique mechanic is that there are many picks, which you can activate for short bonuses. We get to that below.
Graphics
The graphics of PickCrafter are relatively basic, but the particle effects etc. are very nicely made, giving it an appearance of a kind of living world. Don’t get me wrong, you usually just crack block after block. But there are also boss fights, and the pickaxe powers, and abilities, which all are nicely made. In addition, events are run half the time (usually an event starts Friday evening and lasts for three or four days, in rare cases they are longer). If they have specialized graphics, they also fit.

Usually clickers become easier and you can go further every time you start over - keeping some of the benefits you’ve earned. Not in PickCrafter. The restart currency (“ender pearls”) is locked at three pieces and after a few upgrades that make the game go faster (require less blocks to advance and such), you need way more than just three pearls as these barriers also keep rising. So by the time you’ve accumulated enough pearls to lower the bar one inch, it rose five. That’s where I’m stuck by boredom after prestiging 40 times. Doesn’t help that a lot of things like pickaxes are barred behind tasty paywalls AND require steady “runic” (ingame cash currency) investments to remain useful. I’m usually motivated by this to try to come extra far but the greed is too strong in this one. I understand, the dev wants to make money but this design is borderline shady and it should be thought over. Except three zones that only can be accessed by teleport skill or ender pickaxe (and only as long as they’re active, we’re talking seconds here): once you’ve reached the last area and start over, you’ve seen it all. A fun minecraft-related clicker for a few days but not worth besting at.

The Magician’s Research
Pretty boring.
I played a lot, but actually almost all of it is idling and waiting forever for a tiny bit of improvement.
Even if you pay a lot of money, your progress is gonna be super slow it’s not worth it.
There is just very little to do in this game. In fact, i can barely call it a game.
You kill magic monsters escaped from a lab. That’s it! It’s the game.
So while the game is running or not, you kill monsters until you hit a wall then you go back in time to do it again with a bit of xp boost to get further ahead next time.

If you enjoy idle games, that have a bit a strategy this is it, Different mages with unique passives, and hundreds of skills to Customize from: increasing luck, and stats, to lowering frequency of getting Shop currency ^_^ . Spending time is worth it.
Love to see what you guys have stored for the future. Really enjoying the new 5 philosopher Drop Chance, been helpful.
Something that I feel would make the game even more interesting, while making the game feel rewarding for leaving game on. Is a Mechanic or Skill to Pick up Both the Caches and Bones. As getting this skills feels like a great hinder or waste if offline. on that note an extra skill tab or two would be appreciated. Would enjoy switching to different characters and skills depending on the Situation, Am I Grinding to kill, Killing a Boss, Or Farming with lots of Luck.

Click Legends
Not a clone but greatly inspired by Clicker Heroes.
The main problem with this idle game is that there is too much RNG which makes your progression uneven. There are runs where you’ll reach lower levels than before with higher DPS.
Does not cost much but is not much worth either.

If you like my reviews, follow my curator account: https://store.steampowered.com/curator/5504022-Hirntot-Zocken/
Click Legends is a small clicker and idle game that borrows some features from the first game of the developer “God Awe-Full Clicker” but this time it is without microtransactions.
The graphics are kinda simple and nice.
You level up your heroes but only up to Level 150 and then do a small reset on them to raise their damage. For that you need “Bloodstones” that you also need to prestige your whole game, so keeping some is a good idea, as they come quite rarely except for the Statue that brings sometimes some with it.

Crusaders of the Lost Idols
Crusaders of the Lost Idols is my favorite idle/incremental game. It has such a depth of concept and ever growing content. It just not get boring. I probably played it everyday since I discovered it on Steam.
– Real player with 4613.8 hrs in game
Crusaders of the Lost Idols is a clever game that is far too hard core and far too grindy to really be enjoyable.
The premise is simple, use a group of characters, in a certain ‘formation’ to complete a goal, say level 350. Each ‘crusader’ has slot with equipment as well as powers. By placing certain ones next to other ones you might gain more damage or more gold. Each level has a goal, when it’s met you move on to the next one. Then you ‘reset’ the game which gives you idols. The idols in turn, permanently give you more dps and gold.

God Awe-full Clicker
This review will be updated every now and then.
-
12th July 2019. Recently Offline progress was added to the game. It works fine as long as you log in to see it. Note that you do not gain offline rewards if you get the daily rewards pop-up instead.
-
7th April 2019 I went for the God-like bonus, so starting here my account is technically no longer F2P, but the March review is still from a F2P perspective. (I was F2P up to Path 8107)
Edit: Forgot to specify that at the time of getting this premium bonus I had purchased everything from the premium shop other than one Pet and most Realms for freely earned Apples.

Recommended if you’d like to have something to do while watching videos or doing other less engaging stuff.
Very active devs. Quite transparent, responsive, polite. Frequent content patches.
There is a leaderboard in this game. If you care about that, this game is pay-to-win. If you don’t, it’s not. Premium currency is farmable and is a lot more accessible than other games with p2w systems. You can eventually collect all the premium upgrades with time and dedication- there is no paywall. But if you care about ranking, you likely won’t beat the guy straight dumping cash on the upgrades, unless he goes on a hiatus.

Clicker Heroes
Oh.. You’ve found your way to Clicker Heroes?
Do you play Counter-Strike: Global Offensive? If the answer is yes, this is the game for you. Do you play HuniePOP? If you answered yes, this game is for you. Do you have fingers? If the answer is yes, this game is for you.
This game has improved my accuracy in games such as Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. I can now hit targets that are 4 meters away from me instead of the usual 2 meters. If you don’t think that’s progress, I don’t know what else I could say to convince you the importance of Clicker Heroes in the life of any gamer.

Review
Clicker Heroes is a great background game or a game to play when your watching tv. At first it is very easy to progress and it becomes much faster once you get a couple of Hero Souls by Ascending. There is alot more strategy than one might expect from a free game. You must decide who to upgrade, which skills to buy, which things to spend you Hero Souls on, which things to spend your Ancient Souls on, when to Ascend, when to Transcend, which heroes to Gild, what missions to send your mercenary, to revive or bury your mercenary, which clan to join, and much more! A great game to just waste some time without spending money. It’s free, why not give it a try?

Realm Grinder
I should probably begin by saying I have a weakness for idle games. The allure of always progressing and the goal of that next unlockable is appealing to me. I can’t describe properly why that’s the case. I’ve played many idle games. Clicker heroes, adventure capitalist, soda dungeon, the cookie game, time clickers and more.
Realm Grinder is the best by an absolute mile.
Does it do anything different to the other games listed? Not really, no. You’re still clicking on things to make things happen until you reach a point of allowing the game to be self sufficient and left alone until you want to update it and get bigger numbers. What Realm Grinder does differently to the other games is include a gigantic amount of depth. You’re not simply trying to reach the biggest possible numbers. Instead you are trying to reach goal after goal after goal. And everytime you think you’ve reached the limit, the game adds even more goals.

TLDR: If you like clickers that are more strategic and have lots of complexities to them, this is one for you. If you just like to click and not think about it, maybe give it a pass.
I decided to play this game after reading a negative feedback comment because it accurately described the game. I like my idle clickers that have times when you need to be active and other times when you can just leave it alone for a while. This does describe Realm Grinder.
You start the game with the basics and as you move on more dimensions of the game come into play. Each of these new additions adds to the complexity and forces you to be more strategic with your game play. Now, you can do this all on your own and figure it out by trial and error, or you can read the forums on Kongregate or the website http://musicfamily.org/realm/ which is entirely devoted to the game. There’s a plethora of information out there about all the different stages of the game, what to do when, and how to do it most effectively.

Dwarf Shop
Ta gra może sie wydawac nudna dla niektorych osob społeczeństwa ale ona potrafi wciagnac na naprawde dlugo i trudno potem sie oderwac, naprawde polecam te gre tak czy inaczej. ta gra ma nawet sporo fajnych mechanik ale nie bede sie o nich rozpisywal bo to poprostu trzeba kupic i zagrac by to poczuc. Ale jesli chodzi o cene to… no właśnie… nie zadowala, lepiej poczekac na przecene i kupic jak bedzie o te pare funtów mniej bo jesli chodzi o mnie a naprawde lubie tą gre i ją posiadam to cena jest za duza. Ale jak juz mowilem naprawde polecam te gre.

Kind of an alternate take on Swag and Sorcery’s formula, Dwarf Shop is a straight-up shopkeeper idle-style game. There’s not a whole lot to it, you send your dwarf cave diving for resources to craft weapons and sell them in hopes of hoarding enough gold to convince a dragon to move in. It sounds pretty boring, but it’s oddly engaging for a good ten hours before the grind starts showing through. This is NOT an idle game such as Time Warpers, rather one you could easily play while watching a movie or something.

AdVenture Capitalist
I’ve successfully beaten this game (as in, unlocked everything) without spending a single cent on it. Most of the “time” I have logged on this game was from leaving it idle, and there’s nothing to be gained from this game. I did it as a personal test to train myself to resist microtransactions.

Probably the best and most fun clicker out there.
Took me 1 year to complete 100% (I’m on the finish line right now, probably 2 more days to complete it), but the game is worth the time.
It had some balance issues, but now the game is properly fixed and the events and daily gifts provide a lot of opportunities for players to gain multipliers on the hardest planet to complete, Earth.
