Inspired by RuneScape, Melvor Idle takes the core of what makes an adventure game so addictive and strips it down to its purest form! This is a feature-rich, idle/incremental game combining a distinctly familiar feel with a fresh gameplay experience. Maxing 20+ skills has never been more zen.

Melvor Idle is a menu-driven fantasy RPG inspired by RuneScape-style skills. You choose what your adventurer trains, with actions continuing while you are away.
Gather resources through activities such as mining, fishing, and woodcutting, then use them in crafting and other skills. The systems feed into one another, so training one skill can provide materials or bonuses for another.
Build your character through skill levels, equipment, and supporting bonuses, then take on monsters, dungeons, and bosses with melee, ranged, or magic. The game also includes an inventory and bank, collectible pets, and long-term goals across its many skills.
Players who enjoy Melvor Idle often praise the depth of its interconnected skills and the sense that gathering, crafting, and training all contribute to later goals. Reviews also value its long-term progression and the option to check in briefly while tasks continue in the background. Some players find the pace very slow or the many systems difficult to learn, and several reviews raise concerns about server access or lost save data.
