March 2025
This game made my entire week disappear! I rarely get excited about any game. Ever. In my ~40 years of gaming I've seen it (almost) all. This is definitely the best "idle" game I've ever played. And I played quite a few. TBH, it is not even "idle" game, as you keep tweaking and changing and trying new things and strategies how to beat the bosses and even regular mobs. There is so much content in this game, from the start till the finish (and even beyond). @developers If there is ever MR3, I'm 100% BUYING it! 10/10 from me PS: I hate consumables in games. I love the concept of Non-consumables the developers came up with in MR2!

This is a legitimately good idle game that doesn't make me feel guilty when playing it. There is a lot of game to it, but there is also some "just sit there and look at number go up when life is really bad". It has plot. It has fun synergies to figure out. This is a good game, play it (you should also play no. 1, but do it first - I don't think I could go back to MR1 after all the tasty QoL in MR2)

You can definitely tell the creator played this game himself, because everything that could possibly annoy you about the incremental genre is either non-existent or solved with a NG+ bonus for completing a specific objective right around the time that it starts becoming a pain point. And to be clear, I would largely classify this as an "incremental" game over and "idle" game. You will generally be actively managing your resources and while there are a few times later in the game you might benefit from watching a show while waiting for the numbers to go up, these are surprisingly rare given the amount of content in the game. The game also features a pretty engaging story that makes it worth playing, and there is even guidance on how to trigger every event so you'll never feel like you're flailing around with no purpose. I don't think there was a single time I started a new game where I felt like I hadn't gained something from the previous playthrough, and oftentimes what I gained was quite good. If this genre of game appeals to you, I can't recommend it highly enough. If you aren't sure about the story or if it's worth playing, just try it out and see what you think. That's what I did, and I quickly found myself looking forward to the full game.

These days, it's really hard to find an idle game that has an ending, but MR2 achieves this in a good and reasonable way. You are not really idle as the game keeps you busy with many interesting mechanisms to "research" on your own and to boost different ways of gameplay. Out of many idle games that I've played, I highly recommend this one!

Take notes, dev. This is what an idle game should play like. Non-penalizing AFKing, multiple possible paths, RPG elements, some story to tie it all together. Very good idle game, thanks!
