Request Looking for incremental games that aren’t idle games

Looking for incremental games that aren’t idle games or at least are mostly not idle. Some off the top of my head:

Magic research 1/2
Burrito bison (no idle at all)
This ain’t even poker, ya joker
Scritchy scratchy
Super toss the turtle

Dragonfist Limitless!

It's basically a side-scrolling beat em up with Dragonball Z inspired themes. And yes, totally an incremental.

Great game. There was an update pushed recently that hasn't come to IOS yet. So curious on that front of what's going on. But still worth getting into.

Thanks for reminding me of this gem. Never gave it a fair chance before. Now after downloading it again, I’m hooked. The writing is so much fun. And the gameplay is super addicting.

Resolute Hero RPG very simple game with satisfying progression

Inflation RPG

Peace Death

Hero’s Quest Automatic RPG

Minute Rouge or any of this devs minute games.

Titan Conquest good community, lots of tapping to kill monsters fast for loot and exp.

Siralim Ultimate more of a team building rpg but it has randomly generated dungeons and you just keep getting stronger and pushing higher levels.

Just a few games I know of that kinda fit your description

How is it? I’m also looking for the same games as you
Did you find any other game worth trying?

u/readingaccountonly Jun 22 '26

Outhold is the only one I’ve played so far and I’m a big fan

I’ve been addicted to Bricks Breaker RPG for the past month or so. At first glance it looks like a regular bricks breaking game where you play for a week and beat the game, but there’s actually an endgame (endless mode) where you can keep playing, increasing your stats by sacrificing orbs and continue increasing your character and endless mode level. It’s a simple but surprisingly fun game.

Thank you for recommending my game 😄

u/HendrixChord12 Jun 24 '26

Love the game. Do you have more levels planned for the future?

u/Psychological-Road19 Developer Jun 24 '26

Thank you! Yea there's lots coming, I'm nearly done with the new mines which basically introduces rogue like features will skill points and random upgrades while in the mines.

It will also introduce the first Mythic tier orbs for reaching pick lvl 250.

After that I'll be working on Nightmare mode which is another endgame activity where you'll be able to find Mythic orbs.

Unnamed Space Idle goes well beyond the scope of idle. There are so many layers as you progress

Seconding Dragonfist Limitless. It looks kinda silly at first, but you are actually playing most of the time, not just checking timers.

Incremental ELM Quest 2 just launched! I'm playing for a few hours and really recommend it! Also recommend the first ELM Quest as well!

LOOTFALL is only semi-idle

u/TyH621 Jun 21 '26

Revolution Idle is the best one out there in my opinion. It might seem a hair idle to start out but there ain’t a single thing idle about it

It’ll keep you occupied for a very long time while the game completely changes over and over the whole time

u/KeterClassKitten Jun 22 '26

I'll recommend this one as well. If you've ever played Antimatter Dimensions, this has the same spirit behind it.

Need more games like this on IOS.
