Idle Fields

Simple game. Not much to it. Very limited Idleness.

This game is super cute and a fun idle game, but my main complaint is the lack of upgrades for the smithing and construction. It took ages to get to level 50 on those and after that point there's really not a lot left to do on the game, but I enjoyed it while it lasted. 7/10

Changed my life.

6/10: This game is basically all about leveling your skills. That’s it. No story, no real progression, nothing pulling you forward except watching numbers climb. Honestly, it feels like a small experimental project that later got pushed onto steam just to see what would happen. if you enjoy idle games purely for easy progress and straightforward achievement hunting, grab it on sale and you’ll get exactly what you expect. But if you’re looking for anything more narrative, a sense of purpose, or even a hint of direction, you’ll probably walk away disappointed.

This is RuneScape/Melvor Idle with 2D graphics and ZERO combat (which can be a relief as almost every idle game with the exception of Cell to Singularity is either some number tycoon variant or idle combat). You run around as a cute little Fungi who farms, gathers chicken eggs,wool, and goat milk, goes fishing, cooks, and does a little mining/smithing to make better tools. You also have woodcutting and construction which you use to make new and better stuff for your barn from windows to tables and shelves and maybe a bed. it's a relaxing idle game that is fun in both short or longer bursts that makes a fun way to unwind. but don't worry about progress because once you sell some stuff and get a little cash going, you can hire helpers to help you collect, mine, cut wood, fish, cook, what have you. You can then buy hats for your workers which are (as far as I can tell) cute little burnt sienna colored dinosaurs, or possibly salamanders. They are on two legs so hard to be sure what the real inspiration was here, but I am banking on a super cute cartoon version of T. Rex. The game as of 06/13/2025 has two game modes: Standard and Skill Locked. Standard all skills are open and you can do any of them you wish right away and has a very short little tutorial to play through (though most people will not need it, it is very intuitive game play). Skill Locked mode you pick one skill, then have to do that skill to get items to sell to unlock the next skill and is designed for people already familiar with the game. It is not as deep a crafting system like Melvor Idle is, but at least you actually get a character to move around and plus it is intended to be relaxing rather than grinding skills to meet a dungeon challenge. If you enjoy idle games and go in expecting just a cute, relaxing idle game with no stress or challenges beyond eventually getting better crops, more animals, better recipes and tools and watching your farm grow as a result, then you will enjoy it. if you require combat and a challenge to keep you invested, then you may want to look elsewhere but honestly even for those who enjoy a more combat oriented game, having one to relax to on occasion can be a nice change of pace so really, worth trying out either way.
