CivIdle

This game should have a horizontal thumb. If you like idle games to be endless, with infinite re-births for tiny increments, and if you like it to be very complex, then this game is for you. If you wanna relax and unwind and if you love the feeling of "beating" it then I can not recommend it. There is also a feature that when you want to promote from offline player to online player then you lose everything. You begin from scratch again, which is sold as "security meassure" 👎 Jumping off the waggon was the right decision for me.

Idle game with multiplayer trading. Interesting at the beginning, but multiplayer aspect is poorly managed. Late game experience is not recommended. Drawbacks: - Flood of alt accounts to zone off map areas. Raised several times, but "it's a feature." (Some players have 5-7 accounts.) - In-game chat rules applied unevenly. Accounts may be muted without notice, and no indication of end date. Chinese chat is lightly moderated because the in-game mod doesn't read chinese.

Great Game but look at that kitty, whoever pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up. Have a nice day :3 　　　 　　／＞　　フ 　　　 　　| 　_　 _ l 　 　　 　／` ミ＿xノ 　　 　 /　　　 　 | 　　　 /　 ヽ　　 ﾉ 　 　 │　　|　|　| 　／￣|　　 |　|　| 　| (￣ヽ＿_ヽ_)__)

I can understand the appeal of the game, but this just isn't my cup of tea. To start, the UI just looks terrible in my opinion. The game is going for that old windows aesthetic, and I thought it fell short. The building, upgrades, tech, etc. felt a bit clustered. Gameplay also felt artificially lengthened from the time that I played it. For example, it seemed like only one of the resources could route to a project being built. Some of the heavier ones end up taking forever to build, even early on in the game. Although the game definitely offers a lot of depth, this just felt mechanically boring to play.

Tutorial, menus, visuals, mechanics ... are pretty unintuitive/awful in my personal opinion.

This title is certainly an interesting take on the incremental-progression model, to be sure. Disclaimer: [i]I do not particularly enjoy incremental progression games... most of the time[/i] What I *do* enjoy, however, are games with interesting ideas and reasonably original ways to make those ideas come to life. Like most incrementals, it's a 'Numbers go up' kind of game that appeals greatly to those who already enjoy the genre, but with a unique enough stamp to make it an interesting and daresay enjoyable experience. It's been around for so long and noteworthy enough that there are blatant copycats out there - if that tells you anything. [i]*Most* (though not all) people don't get their game copycat'ed unless its something worth copycat'ing.[/i] I have followed/periodically played this idle game for several years through the beta and through its 1.0 launch. This is a solo dev/Indie title that has taken the feedback of its players seriously, while also being clear about their vision and not letting themselves be guided 'off the rails' of whatever that vision is by a lot of the 'noise' of folks trying to turn the game into something it's not intended to be. Always a hard needle to thread for any development team from indie to AAA. [b]Pros:[/b][list] [*] An indie dev that actually pays attention to legitimate feedback [*] Free-to-play with optional DLC to support the devs team/server costs [*] Simple graphics that belie a relatively complex system of gameplay [*] Multiplayer chat that is helpful to players for the early/mid game [*] [i][Optional][/i] Multiplayer resource trading that is helpful for those at the end-game [*] Definitely scratches that incremental progression game itch for many players [/list] [b]Cons[/b][list] [*] An indie dev that has a vision for the game and is willing to accept input/feedback - but if you're not on-board with the vision as set-out, you may disappointed when "that one thing you want changed" (whatever it may be) not get changed while also seeing many other things get improved/fixed... .not sure it's a "negative" per se, but it does come up from feedback of players wanting larger changes that simply aren't going to happen since they fall outside the scope of the vision originally set by the dev. [*] Free-to-play is front and center - but it's hard to deny that some of the best QoL perks are locked behind a paywall... even if that paywall is only a $5 one-time purchase. The dev is very transparent about what/why the paywall exists - it's *not* a gateway into endless microtransactions, so fear not. If you want to support the Dev or this title, its the easiest/quickest way via [b]one-time[/b] purchase. [*] Simple graphics that belie a relatively complex system of gameplay [*] Multiplayer chat that is helpful to players... until it's not. Since the mods are volunteers (not on 24/7), it almost inevitably leads to rando trolls (who get their jollies by trying to 'shock jocks' and 'plain speaking truth', aka @$$holes... because its the internet and there's no consequences) taking too long being banned for blatant and intentional violations of chat rules, who are then allowed to reviewbomb the game whining about 'free speech' and 'abusive moderators'... because they were smacked down for obvious trolling. [*] [i][Optional][/i] Multiplayer resource trading that is helpful for those at the end-game... but tends to favor those who've been camping the came for years now. (But if if you don't care about the multiplayer aspect, and prefer to do solo, then it 99% doesn't affect your own enjoyment of the game) [*] Definitely scratches that incremental progression game itch - but the 'Idle' part of the title can be a bit misleading. Like many 'Idle' games, this one also falls into the trap of requiring a significant investment of active play early on in order to reach the 'idle' portion of gameplay later. Not necessarily a 'bad' thing, since the gameplay itself is enjoyable, but it is a legitimate complaint for some and worth making a note of. [/list] So, yes, this genre is not always my cup of tea - but I have come back to this game time and time again over the years as its grown through beta and now 1.0 with a different flavor of gameplay that some will definitely enjoy! If incremental progression/idle is your jam, then I would check out this title for its unique twist on the genre. :steamthumbsup: :sphere:

CivIdle is a fair idle and incremental game with enough room for active play. It strikes a great balance between “think strategically” and “sit back and chill.” At its core, it’s basically a spreadsheet simulator, which means you can lean into math, logistics and optimization if you want—or you can take things slowly without ever feeling punished. Progression is straightforward and intuitive. The social systems add a lot of value. There are a global chat and a player‑driven trading economy, so you’re almost always collaborating with others. Veteran players often share advice that can completely reshape how you structure your production chains and their insights are genuinely helpful. The game is still actively updated, and with new civilizations being added, it’s likely you’ll see fresh content while you reach the endgame in the future. There are shortcomings, though. Unlocking certain features requires leaving the game running offline for more than two days, which can feel excessive. The UI also needs refinement—there’s a lot of clicking, not much guidance and the lack of tutorials makes early navigation unintuitive. Managing your empire’s happiness is another challenge. Citizens’ moods swing easily and constructing new buildings lowers happiness. If it drops below zero, your available workers decrease; at –50 happiness, your entire empire grinds to a halt. Yet building is essential for progression. Research can boost happiness, but each topic is a one‑time bonus, so you can’t rely on repeating them. Maintaining balance requires careful planning and thoughtful pacing. Overall, despite its flaws, the game offers a rewarding mix of strategy, collaboration and idle progression. I think it’s worth playing.

Too slow for me. Doesn't respect player's time, the timers are annoying.
