Nice game, good idea and potential genre. It became a part of my screen now since you dont need to do anything during battles.

really great game and concept! I don’t play many games for nearly this long
I wish the progression was unlimited somehow though.. it seems lightning spam covers most top spots? I have one concept strategy that may work but I don’t think the math will add up properly to counter lightning in the end… unlimited progression would just mean that, it would take an exponential amount of time to counter meta strategies (i think?)… (maybe a constantly shifting meta?) just a thought though, it may be tough to implement

Idle Monster Frontier
I find this to actually be a very good Single Player Monster Collector game.
You push your team of monsters through a series of waves of enemies, collecting gold and other monsters to build your team. The basic gameplay loop is a monster collector, where a gold resource and other monsters you don’t want/need are consumed to make your main monsters more powerful.
It has a traits system where monsters can learn abilities from others allowing for customization.
The game is free, obviously with some very pay to win stuff available in the store. However there is practically nothing you cannot get in this game by playing it normally for free. The daily gems (premium currency) quests will give you a slow stream of currency to buy the things you need. Some players have complained that the best monsters in game are purchasable in the shop for 750 gems (which is a LOT) however they don’t really take into account that fact that this is a bad purchase type. The monster could have a low speed rating, and due to how levelling up a monster works, you do not need only 1 of a top tier monster, you will ultimately need many, many copies.

READ THIS!!
Lets start by saying this game will not play itself 100% of the time, SO WHAT!!.
This game has TONS of unique things not seen or tried on any of the multiple and plenty of Idles ive played before!
This game encourages creativity and imagination to build not the optimal but the team you dream of, The core is the only defining part while you are able to freely create a creature however you dream it for you specific team. They add new units, events, and they are (DEV) Looking out for the game, Dont let this few people that play the game for minutes or even low hours fool you. THIS IS A GREAT GAME.

An Auto-Battling Lesson in Roguelikeing
I bought Astronarch hoping to have some fun with it for 5, 10 hours tops.
After an hour and a half, having beaten the game for the first time, on my first attempt, I thought, “Uh… that’s it?”
As you can see by my total play time, no, it wasn’t.
This is one of the first games in which I felt like deliberately going after all of its achievements, this is one of the the most well-balanced games I ever played, and it was made by a single guy.

Tavern of Gods
Do you enjoy autobattlers but find more fun in longer-form, singleplayer experiences? This may scratch your itch.
A little rough around the edges but this has the potential to be a new genre-defining game.
If you enjoy roguelikes – Slay the Spire, Monster Train, etc - you most likely will enjoy this game
If you enjoy autobattlers – Teamfight Tactics, Dota Autochess – you will most likely enjoy this game
If you enjoy both of these genres – you will undoubtedly enjoy this game.
Just be warned – there is very little tutorial and no hand holding, so it may take you a run or two to understand the MANY systems at play here (and there are a lot of systems). While this makes for a steep ramp, this also makes for a ton of replayability.

As usual steam needs a neutral option.
Auto battler where I don’t have to worry about other people draining the pool of the unit type I want to play is a huge plus. As w/ most of these game it has plenty of types, plenty of items, and this one seems to have an excessive amnt of reroll options.
The bad part of course is the boss system. You have fixed bosses over several regions which you can challenge in any order so you can attempt to avoid bosses that would be a bad matchup for your build type early on. Though I don’t like fixed bosses there is at least some strategy factored into your order of fights.

Royal Merchant
complex game that has depth and takes time to understand The developer is updating, fixing stuff, making improvements every day. He is also communicating with the players and solving problems that they identify

TL:DR at the bottom
Sometimes you don’t have a lot of money to spend on some AAA title. Sometimes, you don’t want to support greedy corporate publishers like Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, and the like. Sometimes you just want a game to play while listening to a podcast or something. Royal Merchants, the fourth installment in Badim’s Royal series is similar in tone to the the other two I have played (Royal Heroes and Royal Offense; haven’t played the third yet myself) in that you hire heroes to go on quests to build up a strong kingdom. The difference, however, lies in the means of achieving this goal.

RPG: Squad battle
In fact, the game is not bad, it is worth its money, and especially at a discount. The game may be jerky, but we assume that it was released quite recently. You can run, kill time in the evening.

The game was not clear at first, but over time I got used to it and even delayed the game for an hour, although there are not enough locations, I liked the idea of the game itself
