Rogue with the Dead: Idle RPG

It’s a good game for the some part. I like pixel art, and D&D, and side scrollers. But the ad’s SOOOO MANY AD’s. I know they should be compensated for their work. I’m ok with that. I would just buy it outright to support them I would pay $1-6 for this game but, $37!?!?!?! Are you kidding me?! Them don’t want you to buy it. They want to make you keep watching AD’s! I wouldn’t mind if it was one or two every once in a while. But no, they want you to watch one to two ads for every little thing. Sometimes you watch an ad to get a better soldier because you can’t just buy it out right for reasons. So you watch an ad and then you get a soldier that’s even more worthless than the one before. This is unacceptable. Which makes me sad. I can’t keep justifying playing this game making the money if they’re not going to compensate me for my time playing your game there’s plenty other games out there. Ones that I can buy for a reasonable price and then just enjoy the game. I do hope that the developers balanced this so that you could just play the game without watching ads. But as of right now, it simply takes far far too long of grinding to justify.

While it took me a long time to find this game, I feel it is well worth the wait. The game is quite fun for idle games, simple mechanics that are easy to understand, no bogged down extras, and is perfectly fair when it comes to micro-transactions (not too many, not too powerful, priced mostly fairly). The reason I think it’s one of the best idle games is due to the fact that the game isn’t like other idle games. The outside waiting, where you’ll have to wait to get any resources at all to only wait even longer to use those resources is gone. I’ve played since March and by now each reset is about 5-10 minutes depending on the mode. A perfectly reasonable amount of time to play and then come back to later.

I rarely write reviews, play mobile games and almost never enjoy rebirth mechanics, but this game manages to encapsulate me and handle rebirth in the best way I’ve ever seen, though that might be because I try to avoid mobile games. Instead of inching towards a slightly larger amount of progress that for a single unit more, you rebirth to get gems, which you can spend on various things. This game handles itself well in that you get a good amount of gems when you “rebirth” instead of a pittance, and the stuff you spend it on is actually very useful. The bonuses from artifacts are also generally pretty big consistently, so instead of getting a +50% attack for one artifact and just a +3 for the same one afterwards, you get a consistent plus 50 (most of the time). Also, I’ve never seen an idle game ost go so hard, it makes it so much more replay able. Add to the fact that ads are mostly optional, and you never see them unless you do it for a reward, and you have an overall great game. Kudos to the devs, my best regards to them.
