Idle Wizard
…Then try out Idle Wizard! It’s an idle game infused with RPG elements, centered around becoming the most powerful wizard the world ever knew.
The core aspect of Idle Wizard is choosing a Character Class. You start as an Apprentice, and are able to choose various Classes (12 total, with 6 powerful Hybrid classes later in the game), from classic fantasy-inspired sorceres to more unique magic-wielders. Classes use different mechanics to gain profit, are equipped with unique spells and items tailored for their use. While they’re not unlocked all at once, all have use and range in power depending on your current progress and do not follow the simple logic of “the later it is unlocked – the more powerful it is now”.
Pets are a very important mechanic in Idle Wizard. All of them have a unique role and purpose, and most of the time it’ll be beneficial to use more than more than one per run.
Spells are paramount to your success (naturally!). After you get the hang of basics in the first few minutes, you gain your first spell-scroll and can start casting spells. Their mechanics differ greatly fro one another, from sheer profit or a buff, to meta-spells like speeding up time or boosting the xp of your pets! All the classes use a combination of common and unique ones, and sport quite a few possible combinations.
Later in the game you can unlock and craft Items to help you profit even more – over a hundred total! Experiment with different item sets and loadouts to find the best one for the situation.
Amount of available upgrades, achievements, and various more complex mechanics like Challenges, Trials, Catalysts and Expeditions allow for secondary goals and ways to boost you even more. There’s much to learn and explore!

Mathematical optimization puzzle. Micro-transactions entirely optional and out-of-the-way, no nagging.

Best idle game I have played, with very active and friendly devs. The community is also pretty great. Archon supremacy.

This game has great art, a fantastic atmosphere, a lot of flavour, and constantly unfolding game systems with clearly defined goals and milestones. My only complaint is that after spending my first day on it, I loaded it up to find that my save file simply wasn't there. To add insult to injury, when I attempted to start again, all of the promo codes I had redeemed in my wiped run no longer worked since (apparently) my steam account had already redeemed them.
Thankfully, I managed to restart the game with the anniversary bonus and promotion codes by starting a save on Kongregate and importing it into the steam version. If you do decide to try it, aggressively back up everything because you might randomly lose all of your progress to a poorly coded save feature.

I'm not even quite sure where to begin.
I adore this game. It's one of my very-favorites.
I've played so many different Idle games over the past decade or so, and Idle Wizard has, somehow, kept my attention more than any other one.
Thanks again to the devs for this great game!

Prepare to play it for years.
If you play it at home, expect the electricity bill will be worth more than most AAA games after you spend running this in the background for thousands of hours.
