If you want a game for managing resources and mostly-passive play in maximum of five-minute bursts, this is probably for you. If you want something that's played mostly actively, maybe not. {there are exception strategies, but not *that* many.} It's also rather complex, though less-so than some of the reviews make it sound. The game has a lot of different elements to micromanage, but none of them are, on their own, immensely complex. This game has only two clicker analogues/minigames as far as I've gotten- the special fights and the baal slayer. I think ultimate beings V2 are going to be a third, but it's not viable for me yet. None of these is incredibly neccessary. Anything else's gameplay is micromanaging in some manner. Progress bars will fill with you or without you, but you can optimize through micromanaging or reset to restart building with an exponentially increasing starting multiplier. This is a very reset (rebirth in-game, at least for the simplest kind. Challenges are a higher-level kind.) heavy game, by the way. Active players might "rebirth" as often as every 1-2 hours for optimal progress. I enjoy this game, you might not. Still, one word of advice- either read the built in FAQ guide or look for a user-made guide. This game might be less complex than people are selling it as, but it doesn't start as simple as most idle games. And don't pay attention to my playtime, I run it in the background. I spend between 1 and 5 minutes on the game per hour on record, usually, and when it's dramatic in either direction, it's usually less, such as 0 minutes per hour. A more relevant unit is when I started- which is less than six months ago but more than 3. PS. ignore the people who complement the story. It's not horrid, but you'd probably find reading an average web novel to be a better use of your time. Who knows, your opinion may vary.

This is absolutely the best Idle game I have yet encountered. Seriously. No, it isn't graphically interesting, but the balance and pacing is -perfect-, the level of complexity keeps things interesting and different, and it has a Story. Quite a well written one too. If you are a fan of idle games and number management, this is a great little game to check out. It's free and fun, and definitely not pay to win(you can pay in a little for boosts to support the devs, but it never feels required).

When it comes to Idling games Idling to Rule the Gods stands in a class of its own. It is well made and has a good story to tie it together. The developer is very engaged and from my personal experiences with him I have to say no other developer has impressed me like he has on a personal level. As a developer the mechanics of this game are solid and have a good amount of depth. Even after a year of on again and off again I can find this game to be enjoyable and pleasently engaging. The only Con I can credit to Idling to rule the gods are the grammatical errors and misspelled words. In one chapter it is almost incomprehensible. However, that does not detract from the overall game as a brilliant game in the idling genre.
