Forge power. Brew fate. Climb the ranks. This is a handcrafted idle RPG about building an engine of gear, cards, and alchemy that grows stronger every time you play. Plan your build, push as far as you can, then return with lasting echoes that reshape the next run. FEATURES • Idle + strategy: progress at your own pace—short bursts or long sessions both work. • Deep crafting: use the Forge to roll, refine, and specialise gear; brew synergies in the Cauldron. • Meaningful meta: unlock echoes and cards that permanently expand your options. • Stats that matter: movement speed and defence follow clear diminishing‑returns curves for fair balance. • Compete and compare: chase global leaderboards. • Built to last: smart numbers, clean tooltips, and thoughtful quality‑of‑life throughout. RECENT HIGHLIGHTS • Overhauled leaderboards for clearer ladders and fair competition. • Eternal cards arrive in the Cauldron—new ways to define a run. • Cleaner Forge readouts and formatting across the UI. • Balance: movement speed now scales as a percentage with diminishing returns similar to defence. • Bug fixes: crafted resources no longer jump tiers; resource displays avoid confusing partial values. • Under the hood: pooled echoes and a split hero/echo system for smoother performance; improved graph tooltip. • Future‑proofing: the Forge now stores per‑stat quality percentiles so your great rolls stay great across balance changes. Blindsided Games is an independent studio crafting forward‑thinking idle experiences. We ship frequent improvements and listen closely to feedback—thanks for being part of the journey. ## Key features - Idle + strategy gameplay - Deep gear crafting and alchemy - Meaningful meta-progression with echoes and cards - Clear diminishing-returns stat balance - Global leaderboard competition - Thoughtful quality-of-life features ## Chart rankings - #184 in Top Paid · Casual (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (5 of 5) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/echoes-of-vasteria/id6749265146/reviews.md ### 5/5 — ABSOLUTELY AMAZING *2025-10-13* This is one of the best games I’ve ever played I would highly recommend it to everyone it is amazing so undated get this game ### 5/5 — Fun idle game! *2025-09-17* Not only is the game fun, but there is also an online component where you can pester the developer on Discord! ### 5/5 — Perfect idle *2025-09-14* If you’re tired of the standard idle experience buy this. 9/10 and the best idle game I’ve played this year. ### 1/5 — Overheating *2025-09-11* Game overheats an iPhone 16 pro on minimum setting.
