## What is Archmage Idle?

Train Skills. Recruit Wizards. Conquer Foes.

An idle/incremental RPG with deeply interconnected skills. Your skills feed the frontlines: Attunement, Summoning, and Sigilry power your wizards as they fight across an elemental hex map. Your skills feed the supply lines: Research, Runecrafting, Alchemy, Mercantile, and Scavenging keep the resources flowing. And skills you won't find anywhere else, like Chronomancy, Diplomacy, and Appraisal, tie it all together.

Burn Runes in the Runic Cauldron. Train wizards at the Academy. Sell surplus goods on the Bazaar. Collect hundreds of items that fuel both your skilling and your combat. Your guild keeps working while you're offline.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2026-09-05*

I tried Melvin Idle and just couldn’t get into it. This is just so much more enjoyable. Navigation is easy and a lot of depth to the game make it really enjoyable. My only gripe is that sometimes it’s hard to see an item name because it’s blocked behind the Dynamic Island. I know I can collapse the item details and see it, but sometimes is cumbersome to do so. Pretty minor thing though so can’t complain!

### 5/5 — Love the Game

*2026-09-05*

True idle like how OLDER / traditional idle games used to be. 

For devs: I'd love for there to be one thats more focused on town-building, or at-least class based RPG where you can "rebirth."

### 5/5 — Fire ball

*2026-09-03*

I just love the fantasy spin o n this and the clear effort put in. I hate it so much when I see some Ai art on so many idle games. It drains me of any love I could have held for it. This is a gem.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2026-09-03*

I’ve played and tried almost every idle game on the app store and this one already seems to be in the upper ranks of the greats with its ambitions and polish. Very excited to dive deep and see where this game goes!

### 3/5 — Slow and takes too long for progress

*2026-08-30*

Weird as they don’t push the monetary incentive which I respect more

### 5/5 — Nice, something different from Mevlor idle. Refreshing…

*2026-08-23*

I enjoy it, not a clone from Melvor Idle, hope updates keep coming. Got potential.

### 1/5 — Still broken, impossible to complete.

*2026-08-21*

I'm at about 72% completion. The game has intermittent crashes, I assume because it is written as one ElseIf block. Or extreme memory leaks. Or image data size WAY too large, overfilling RAM. This was fine at 10%, it does a quick re-load of the game, but now after about a month of gameplay, I cannot load into the game at all, it crashes before it can load in. There is also a bit of strangeness with the audio, fairly buggy but I have no idea about that. These issues are prevalent on the previous update and current one. I expect it to be solved quickly, seeing as it is interfering with income from mtx.

21st August, Bug has not been fixed. Downgrading to 1 star.
Fun game, but still unplayable after ~72%. Endgame is just crashes now :/

### 1/5 — Perdu tout mon progrès

*2026-08-20*

Bug de sauvegarde, j'ai lancé l'appli et tout mon progrès avait disparu, tout à 0

### 2/5 — Very broken, impossible to complete.

*2026-08-06*

This is a fresh take on the Melvor style incremental game, with unique and engaging mechanics.  Highly recommend.
