Idle Cave Miner is honestly a great pick if you’re into idle games but want something a little different. The basic idea is simple. You tap to mine gold, diamonds, and other resources, but there’s way more going on than you’d expect. One of the coolest parts is building your mining team. Each miner has their own strengths, so figuring out the best combo to boost efficiency is actually pretty fun. The crafting system adds another layer too, letting you smelt ores, refine gems, and upgrade your crew as you go. The mines keep changing, and there are multiple areas to explore, so it never really feels stale. Plus, with all the upgrades and prestige systems, there’s always something new to work toward. Definitely worth trying.

its fun but way to expensive. Not the base game but the upgrades 5.99 for some simple stuff is way to expensive for a 5 euro game.

I've been playing this since the beginning of August on Android, and with that said, I had zero issue with shelling out another $5 for this game on Steam. It's a great idle game, with just enough of an incremental aspect to keep things interesting for the long term. Plenty of cool items to craft, lots of Miners with different skills attributed to different mines, pretty good offline gains. Can easily gain premium currency through daily/weekly quests and a random on-screen interactive element. Typical MTX for this type of game with sensible pricing, which is nice to see in a world where auto-click or ad-free options are creeping up to $16 USD each - or more - in other games. Also available with manual cross-platform saves so you can take this on the go with you!
