Idle Awakening: Mages Path

It's alright. Gets quite repetitive.

Pretty good!

One of the best idle games.

Version 0.3: A lot of potencial to get better. I'll return after more development.

様々なタスクを行いつつ成長させていく放置ゲーム。 転生要素はなし。 豊富なタスク、スキルツリー、クラフト、魔法、ワールド探索など行える事がたくさんあり面白い。 QoLをかなり重要視して作られており、様々な機能を同時並行で実行可能。 それらを条件付きでどういう時のみするか？なども選べる。 成長具合などをグラフで見れたりもする。 英語は読めないので翻訳ツールを用いて読んでいるがジョーク多めでストーリーを追うのも楽しみになる。 マウスオーバー時の英語はスクショなどしてペイント等で画面翻訳するなど手間がいるが、静的なテキストは範囲指定でコピペ可能なので翻訳ツールに貼り付けたりもできる。 かなり丁寧に作られているしアップデートもちゃんと行われているのでおすすめにする。

It's interesting for a day or two until the unlocks stop coming in and you're stuck waiting for a bunch of milestones that don't do anything to actually change how you play. For a game with "Mage's path" in its title, the game certainly feels a lot more like the path of the town's drunken craftsman for an obscenely long time. Some of the scenes mention you casting magic, but it's magic that the player can't cast because the game only gives you illusion and restoration, so it feels like the game is saying "congratulations, you can make a shadow that looks like a pot. You've awakened as a mage. That's it, there's no more mechanics to learn on this path. Enjoy six stories about blowing papers around with wind before we stop talking about it." And even after you are successful enough (Usually as a carpenter or something) to own a massive plot of land with multiple buildings on it, it feels like every story scene is still about you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ up somehow and learning the wrong lesson. The automation looks daunting when you get to it, but it's unlocked pretty early and generally quite useful if a bit dumb, but it's often difficult to say when something should be automated. Some are easy: "Drink a physical learning potion when doing an action with the physical tag" but there's so many actions that have no level cap and no purpose other than to provide small amounts of stats that trying to find the optimal automation for them feels like a chore. I do know there's still some mechanics I haven't reached yet due to seeing automation options for mechanics I haven't unlocked, but that makes it feel like there's only like two truly new mechanics waiting for me if I continue. Not to mention I've nearly touched all corners of the "skill tree" already (which is just a configuration of buffs, not skills). It feels like the game doesn't really have anything else for me to do and I'm just waiting for my skills to grind themselves out.

There is a lot to explore and play with here. I'm close enough to the "end" to consider myself done for now though. If you like incremental idle games, this is a great one to play. The biggest downside is that there is no "reset" so if you come back after a few months, you may be a bit lost again. And once you're "done" there's no real reason to keep playing.

so i have played for a while and am struggling to get to going on the first expedition. what does end game even look like? i have over 2k in almost every skill i have but am curious what im working on end goal wise. (and only so many hours because i keep it running and have insomnia lol)

It was an amazing idle game that I cannot wait to see further developed. The story is basically you start out as a hobo who wants to settle down, and then you find out about magic. Thus the legend of hobo wizard begins. The choices feel like they are your own how you progress with a little information about upcoming unlocks to help you decide a focus. Well worth the 5 dollars in my opinion.

Nice little idler with grate potential.
