Idle Wasteland

Idle Wasteland

This game is FUN! Too fun… No wait. I mean to say addictive. Or… is the real issue that it seems too needy? Let me get more to the point… This game has everything you would want and expect from a wasteland apocalypse game, and it can be played as an idle game for a while, but the issue I am having is that its constantly squawking with birds and notifications to get me to click inside it for a resource. I could turn off those noises, but then I’d miss some important and rare stuff which will help me progress into the game much faster. Which means more likely that I am over stimulated by this game. I drag my mouse back and forth to collect all the trash piles and bugs that spawn, plus the loot bugs and the 10 minute free ad drone (steam does not allow ads, so its free resources). Then the base crafting timer is about a minute long, so I am constantly back into the game to click it twice, then the other craftables. I feel like I can’t leave it alone until I mute it all completely. What it tells me is that this game is very well designed to cause me to want to monitor it while doing other stuff, but has been designed to make me want to click on every junk pile to gain its scraps.

Perfect idle game. Something to do for 15 minutes here, 40 minutes there, just enough to knock out some of the daily missions. You feel a sense of making progress, just try not to analyze the fact that only .1% of players beat the game (or only got the hardest achievements)

If you want a game of upgrades, this is it. This game has upgrades on just about everything, and those upgrades come in tiers, and those tiers have higher tiers. I can’t believe I’ve only put in 18 hours in this game. I’ve unlocked sooooo many things and I still feel as if I’ve only just begun my journey through the wasteland.

Edit 02/11/2021: Three things related to monetisation have happened. First, leaderboards have been removed. That’s good, they were useless anyway and clear cheaters mostly populated the top spots. Second, the daily premium currency (Derium) given has increased dramatically, roughly doubling over the first month. While the amounts are still very, very small, it’s something. Good job.

Lastly, I cursed the game when talking about RNG based purchases, because there is now a slot machine for the Halloween event. The listed chances are 1.23% for a good drop, 29.88% for a not very good drop, 68.9% for absolutely nothing. You also get a tiny consolation prize with each roll, all for 100 Derium. If you wanted to buy Derium it would take roughly 8,100 to get one of the good drops, costing around $20. More absurd monetisation from the developer, sadly.

This will be a fully honest and unbiased review, i personally enjoy the game as i did with the original.

Personally i consider this game a pretty good balance between the active and idle sides of the incremental community. (if you complain about the game require to much active then, simply put the game isnt made for you, as its more geared towards the more active side of the incremental community. dont expect something like melvor, expect something like realmgrinder in terms of activity) The game however isnt entirely active and does have a somewhat long waiting periods, not timewalls per say, but just waiting periods. none the less, despite the fact i prefer EXTREMELY active games like perfect tower 2, and The Prestige Tree. this game has somehow entranced me despite the larger waiting periods.

I like idle games . . . a lot. Not sure why, but I play them almost exclusively. This is the 4th title I’ve played from this dev. This is his 6th game in about 11 months that he’s published on Steam, plus a few paid DLCs. Don’t know how many other games he’s published on other platforms.

From his other games, he seems to copy most of the core mechanics from one game to the next, along with some style aspects of the UI. This game has more refined graphics than the previous 8 bit graphics. I don’t mind 8 bit games at all and I’m not sure whether he made these assets himself or got them from an asset pack. Likely a mix of both. It’s a simple, grindy idle game with a built in auto-idle feature (buggy) that auto fights for you over night, if the game runs over night, so you don’t need to set up an auto clicker or anything. There’s no prestige/reset mechanic, but you increase the difficulty and rewards by fighting through all the mobs in each area at level 1, then when you beat the boss at the end, you can increase the mob difficulty and keep doing loops, increasing the difficulty as you go.

Pros:

  • Cute character sprites.

  • Decent music.

  • Small download.

  • Active developer.

Cons:

  • Sprites and texts are all different resolutions/sizes that don’t mix well. The dev needs to gain a better understanding of pixels, resolutions, and why stretching pixel art is a bad thing.

  • The GUI style makes it impossible to understand which numbers are prices and which numbers are how much you have on hand. The GUI style also does not do a good job of graying out or recoloring controls when you cannot afford things. The buttons at least have a hover-color, which is an improvement from the dev’s previous games.

Im playing this since it came out a year ago. The progress is slowly, but in this game you can build up your character in different ways. Lots of loopholes allow boosts of progress. Many of these Loopholes are only working during a certain stage of progress. Searching and using these makes the most fun.

I play a different style, than the developer intended. I play without any reincarnation and i was still able to get the DS killed even before this game came to steam. Since then i made even much more progress.

First time playing this game - Unlike some who have had the chance to play it on some websites.

Easy learning curve and they introduce new features such that we are never bored. The biggest wall we encounter is probably the one for the reincarnation feature (different from rebirth). Be patient - We are not meant to access that content early on. Make sure you read some guides on how to beat the challenge though as it requires a specific strategy.

As for premium currency, we get a ton from regular quests and daily quests. Save to purchase any upgrades that improve you daily quests first such that, later on, you are guaranteed at least 1 to 2k Epic coins per day from the daily quests alone.

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 IDLE

RPG IDLE

Wonderful! Simple but the mechanics works. It is a great idle game to run on a second window while playing something else. I like that you can move from the forest and work you way up to the city. For now combat and training seems well balanced. I wonder how it will work out after 100 or so prestige. There was an option to turn the volume down and that is great because the clicking sound is dreadful. Problem is the volume toggle only controls the music not the annoying click sound unless fully muted. The sound track is pretty decent and upbeat so it kinda sucked when i had to mute it. There seemed to be a small delay between when the enemy despawned and when i swung my sword. The enemy was dead before i could swing. With faster attacks it might look fine tho. I wish there was more mobs but for the price “it what it is”. Maybe with support there will be an update with more gates or bosses. The main thing here is the mechanics work and for that i would recommend RPG IDLE if you are looking for a satisfying and simple idle game.

UPDATED:

The developer fixed the problem with the game not working in the background, and I also tested its new recalculating function after leaving it in fight mode overnight, to see if my toon would get zeroed, and it looked good.

Overall, since this game is so cheap, it’s easy to get your money’s worth, and it’s fun figuring out how to gain levels efficiently.

Note that the ATK upgrade behaves differently from most of the other upgrades I used (like defense): each point adds 10% of your existing base attack at the time of the upgrade to your attack in a fight, but does not update your base attack, or scale when you add more to your base, so it’s worthwhile to hold off on the upgrade as long as you can.

Good things:

Good thing is that someone take their time to make this game as it is a good learning experience for future. I’m sure many developers created many weak bad games before they got one right and made something good. Graphic is ok and all the assets looks fine so I hope they didn’t cost too much to buy.

I think if someone loves clicker games he will love this game as it is just a clicker with an extra steps that force you to click in more places than one. You buy resources by clicking and you go to other screen to process those resources than you go to another screen to forge things from these resources and than you go to the next screen to sell these items and get more gold to start doing this process all over again. After a while you can also use forged items to create an army and attack some villages and these villages if conquered can give you resources if you click once every 2 minutes and they can also be upgraded to give a little more resources. And that is the whole game loop. Craft things to sell them to get more gold to craft more items or give items to army to conquer something and get more resources.

After the tutorial you will learn everything about game. You can do trades, craft weapons and sell them or you can build an army with them. War system is simple, trading is not my thing so I build my army and now I am trying to conquer the other cities. Good game to pass the time.

I liked Incremental Epic Heroes (IEH) by the same developer, so I gave it a try. I have to say that at first I didn’t like this one very much. It required a lot of active play, it was very slow to improve, and honestly just breaking blocks wasn’t very fun. I stuck with it though mostly out of loyalty to the developers.

It got a LOT better. First the developers put out an update that speeds the progress early on which was really needed. Secondly, the game modes get interesting later on. The missions are the first start, but it really gets fun with the challenges and as you really start to use the crafting system.

Real player with 469.1 hrs in game

Not a fun game at all. Only playing this to get rewards on IEH

Multiple bugs and logical errors. Capture shot that costs 5k coins in store doesn’t do anything in challenge when placed, what a waste. If you buy quest rarity, the quests you get are practically impossible to complete by a normal human. You want me open 100 chests in 24 hours? Active play I don’t see more than 5 an hour. 10 mimics in a day? I think I’ve seen 10since I started playing 2 days ago. Too many flaws, don’t waste your time here even if it’s for IEH bonuses
