Idle Earth

Nice Idle game. Progress is fast enough and premium currency isn't needed to enjoy the game. I like that most of the clicking you can do to speed up progress isn't just button mashing.

Not worth the money, even at a discounted rate. This game should have been free-to-play. It's extremely linear, very boring, and still has loot boxes in it in a pay system. People might get attracted by all the "characters" in the game, but they're very lazily constructed, and you have to have seen tons of movies and played tons of games to get all the "joke" references that really aren't that amusing. The stuff you save up gems for, which the game calls "valuable," are really just gimmicks that don't do hardly anything. What I find most amazing is that, in a game called "IDLE" Earth, you are required to do a lot of non-idle things to get anywhere. In short, there are plenty of other idle games out there which are free-to-play and offer A LOT more variety and depth than this game offers. Don't waste your time with this.

I'd say if you like idle games, this is for you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8P2UdKZCTA

This is the game if you have one of the 2 options: *you just want to do something for a couple hours *you want to use up the last couple of dollars left in your wallet that you don't know what to use it on

Finally got all the achievements. Fun little game to pass the time. Pick it up when it's on sale.

Good fun. Well built Idle Game

Great idle game, worth $2 hands down.

Idle Earth isn't really a proper game, it's just a lazy 2D browser/Flash-tier "number incrementer" mobile app where the object of the mobile app is to increase the in-game currency by clicking, and sometimes buying things that increase the rate at which your currency/score goes up. It's an incredibly shallow game loop, to the point you might as well just run a program that does "i=i+1; print i" and watch the numbers go up automatically, and just watch it. You'd get the exact same outcome. If this sounds completely mindless, you're not wrong. From a technical perspective, the mobile app doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the mobile app is extremely low as a result. While there are options to change the resolution for the mobile app, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the mobile app, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals. Because this is a mobile app, it carries a number of deliberate design deficiencies. Compromises were made to cater to the iPhones that the mobile app was designed for. These are unfortunate handicaps and limitations that PC gamers shouldn't be forced to accept, but it's evident that PC was an afterthought for the iPhone developers who are to blame for this. The mobile app is deficient as a result of these choices, and would have been so much better without the handicaps that designing games for mobile phones forces upon a game. Once more, mobile devs have made gaming worse for everyone. I didn't spend thousands on building a gaming rig just so I could pretend it's an iPhone. These technical defects push this mobile app below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. Once more we see greedy mobile devs trying to scam PC gamers. On Steam, this is $2 USD, on app stores, it's free. Disgustingly, you need to pay another $1 to increase the rate of your number incrementing. After you already paid $2 USD for a free mobile app. There's a special place in hell for mobile devs. Mobile devs must learn PC gamers are not here to be gouged, and can't be expected to pay a premium for a free mobile game just because it's been lazily dumped on Steam. This is unacceptable disrespect for PC gamers. Because this can be played free elsewhere, and because of the other defects, it's impossible to recommend. Who do they think we are? [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote] Valve have marked this mobile app as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the mobile app (to date). Until this status changes, this mobile app will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this free mobile app.
