July 2025
Tentatively recommended, with a warning: Don’t bother chasing 100% unless you’re ready to grind for many hours after the game is already finished. This is a smart little incremental with vampire survivors vibes. Hands-off, stat-based, and layered with classes, summons, and passives. Early game? Solid. Pacing feels great, the systems unfold gradually, and there's a real sense of discovery. But once you're deep in, the cracks start showing. “optional” content like bestiary kills or farming old zones for gear upgrades aren’t really optional. They’re mandatory if you actually want to move forward. And while the dev pushes back on the idea that the game lacks depth, the truth is that time equals progress in this genre. So when one build clears faster than anything else, there's no real reason to swap off it. Passives are strong enough to override class identity, summons feel like a side system that further blurs what makes each class distinct, and the whole thing ends up a little too overdesigned. Ascension sounds cool until you realize the branching tree is just a slow unlock for generic stat boosts. No real flavor, just staggered progress. Still, I stuck with it. Not because I was having a blast the whole time, but because I wanted to. There’s a lot to love here. The art is charming, the tone is clean, and the themes of sacrifice and duty actually land. It’s clear a lot of care went into this, and I hope the dev keeps refining what’s here. The bones are good. If I could offer anything, it’s this: trust your own creativity, and trust the player to have fun with it. Don’t be afraid to let people break things. Power fantasy isn’t a balance problem, it’s a reward. Lean into it, and people will stick around not out of sunk cost, but because they’re hooked.

fine idler. cant relate to any of those negative reviews. the game did exactly what i expected a idler to do... farming, unlocking new stuff, hitting walls, rethinking skillsetup or more farming...rinse and repeat there are a lot of upgrading mechanics (stats, equip, skills, pets, bestarium and so on) - totally fine, maybe a bit overwhelming at the beginning but for me it was totally fine and what i paid for. i beat the game in about 40h, the last 9h were for 100% archivments.

Not sure why there are so many negative reviews. I'd guess it was faulty expectations. I think you should expect an idle game. You let it run and watch the cool stuff happen. You can customize your character for each run, and let the numbers get bigger over time. It takes longer to progress as you get further. You know, like every other game ever? A few systems definitely need a fix, such as the passive skills system, but it hardly detracts from the game. It just is an area where the game could be even better, but it isn't yet. It is definitely worth $10.

It's already pretty fun. Been playing for a little under and hour and I have barely blinked. The art style and music is good and the pacing has been great thus far. 8/10 so far

Incredible game. I've already finished the patreon 1.0 version, and now it's finally released on steam I can finish it here too! If you like an idle game with an end, and not a boring, monotonous infinite grind - I highly recommend Nomad Idle!
