The 2x stacks

Guys, watch the ads. I thought the 2x only went to 4 hours so I never really used it but it stacks. I just watched a couple ads and I now have 2x for 24 hours.

GOATED🙏

Both this and Grimoire idle are so fun dude. Doesn’t force ads on you either, love it

Simple and fun

Simple and fun, I loved Grimoire and while this is very different, you can see the same level of craftsmanship and thought put into the mechanics,

A truly well made movie idle game

I have spent years trying to find a game, with proper balancing as you get into the higher numbers, and still have smooth progression. After trying about 200 idle games this one has stopped my search for a properly balanced fun idle. I never write reviews. As you can probably see by my grammar. But I actually took the time to since I’ve played this game for over a year now

Amazing Incremental Game

When I saw the creator of Grimoire Incremental had released a new game, I was sold. There's so much more depth and choices to make in this one. I've since unlocked everything there is in-game, and I'm so excited for more

Great Idle Game!

I’ve been playing this game for the last few months and have enjoyed it! The game is well paced and every few weeks there are new things to try.

Runs can be long when you want to take a break for a while but also you have great active play with shorter runs.

The “ethos challenge guide” is basically a must for progressing at a good rate. Also the discord for this game is amazing!

great (very slow) game

maybe too slow but it’s interesting

Number go up

This is somehow the most simple and expansive idle game I’ve played.

It’s literally just numbers. No audio, no images, nope just numbers going up.

But there’s so many numbers.

Game is good

Good mix of active/idle gameplay, I haven’t run into any automation yet but it would be great to have some simple automations like auto conquer/integrate and claims.

Really bare bones

The only thing that makes this game any sort of decent is that it isn’t littered with pay2win garbage, gem systems, etc. It’s the skeleton of an actual incremental game though. Seriously, there were flash games in the 200’s made by random kids after school that had more depth than this, and were somehow also more free to play. Considering the depth of the developers other, older game (I’d only give that slightly more credit but it is credit), Ethos is a disappointment in all but the greed of its developer.

Still fun if you like basic incremental, but it’s realllllly basic.

Great Idle Game

Good game. Long term play. Not something you beat in a day or even a week. Take your time.

Best idle game, ads can be bugged

Absolutely incredible game, been playing for months, everyone who’s a fan of the genre should play this

However since the last content update sometimes watching ads for double time is bugged and you don’t receive the bonus after watching. Otherwise amazing game, will change rating if this gets fixed

Incredibly boring

Very slow game and no graphics or visuals to compensate for the dull game play. Very standard idle game, so there are a million other similar options with more stimulating elements.

great idle game

now, I will warn you: the game IS slow, and I recommend you ask questions in the discord server if you’re stuck, but this game has sooo much to it if you bother to look around.
it’s great! 2 months in and I’m at Challenges III, the game hasn’t ever gotten old for me
this game has a blend of idle and active play, and you’ll see that pop up at Challenges III
the people who say it’s way too slow probably screwed up somewhere, but if you set your mind to it you’ll see all the cool stuff this game has to offer

Good idea, bad implementation

The game, as other reviewers have said, is wonderful up to level 15. There is no scaling for prestiging. There is no way to make that take less than 5 hrs. I go back three levels and am still met with 45 min wait times. Good game, not an idle game like previous titles graham has made. It’s like clash of clans waiting for a town hall to complete, except for afterwards you don’t get any new items, just more wait times

Awesome Idle Game

Love this little gem and have been playing for about two or three months now. Hard to find decent idle games that aren’t littered with forced adds or just straight cookie cutter clones of other stuff out there. It feels fresh and original with clean and simple interface that doesn’t overwhelm you at any point, especially at the start. I find it offers a good mix of active and idle play. It rewards players for planning ahead and strategizing once the game mechanics become clear to you and new features unlock, however, it’s not necessary for you to play and enjoy the game. Aside from a few tricky challenge runs, everything moves at a decent pace, especially if you play in spurts throughout the day, and I haven’t hit any crazy bottlenecks yet. A single ad bonus button is tucked away nicely in the corner and doesn’t flash or pester you. An ad gives you a respectable 4 hours of 2x speed per view, which I personally keep refreshed. I’m not sure if there’s a cap, but I’ve had it over 24 hours. The store, also tucked away nicely in a menu, sells an additional permanent 2x speed boost for a reasonable price that helps support the developer and stacks with the ad, giving a potential total of 4x speed. None of these are necessary or pushed on you, but I made the purchase because I enjoy the game that much. I’ve already seen several updates adding new features and improvements. Hope more people and give it a try so that the developer continues to invest in the game. If you enjoy idle games, I highly recommend you give this a go; it definitely did not disappoint me.

good but it takes SOOOOO long

this game will grow with you, that’s for sure!
I do really like the progression, as long as you come back to do a few things, like, once an hour at most, you can make steady progress

The best Idle game

Simple and satisfying, numbers go up!

Wonderful

This is one of the best idle games I’ve ever played; it’s very different even though it “looks the same”. The mechanics feel more like a fancy board game and it has some features that I’ve wanted in games like this for a long time (such as being able to gain the ability to research multiple things at once). I also love that ads are COMPLETELY optional, and if you do choose to watch ads for a time bonus, they are not very long for what you get. Please keep up the great work on this wonderful game.

Fun

Love the game, but man I’m so stuck. The late game is so tough. Is there a reward in the end or am I just grinding for the sake of grinding?
