Idle Clans aims to provide the classic MMORPG experience in a casual way. Everything you would expect from an MMORPG, but at your own pace. You don't need to quit your day job to keep up with others. If you only have a moment, that's still enough to keep your character progressing. CLANS The game's title might give it away, but a central part of the game is its clan system. Create a clan or join an existing one to collaborate with others and speed up your own progression. Clans can unlock clan-specific upgrades, clan events, clan bosses and clan quests. Some clans are very casual, some coordinate at levels our government agencies could take notes from. The clan recruitment centre makes it easy to find the right clan for you. PLAYER-DRIVEN ECONOMY Every item you purchase on the player market has been obtained or crafted by another player. SKILLS & COMBAT Deep, interconnected skilling, crafting and combat systems are the core of the game. There are dozens of skills to level up along with an ever-growing collection of items, upgrades and modifiers. Content varies from lowly turkeys that are incapable of doing harm to end-game bosses and raids that'll put your game knowledge to the test. Completing every achievement grants you the Grandmaster rank. That's a journey lasting years, and we might be biased here, but what a journey it is! FREE-TO-PLAY Idle Clans is free-to-play with optional in-app purchases. These provide tokens that can be claimed for permanent ranks. The tokens are tradeable, meaning anything in the game shop can also be bought with in-game gold, as many players opt to do. COMMUNITY Idle Clans has been actively developed since its launch in 2023, and our amazing community has played a massive part in shaping the game. With 10k+ players in our Discord server, there's no shortage of ideas and discussion.

Progress Knight is a life-sim incremental based in a fantasy/medieval setting, where you must progress through the career ladder and acquire new skills to become the ultimate being. You first start off as a beggar, barely being able to feed yourself as the days go by. However, over the years you learn new skills and gain plenty of work experience to enter new high paying jobs while managing your living expenses... Will you decide to take the easy route of doing simple commoner work? Or will you go through harsh training to climb the ranks within the military? Or maybe will you decide to study hard and enrol in a magic academy, learning life-impacting spells? Your career path is open-ended, the decision is up to you. Eventually, your age will catch up to you. You will be given an option to prestige and gain xp multipliers (based on the performance of your current life) for your next life at the cost of losing all your levels and assets. Fear not though, as you will re-gain your levels much, much more quickly than in your previous life... After multiple rebirths, the paths of good and evil beckon you. Will you embrace the darkness, becoming a formidable force that strikes fear into the hearts of others? Or will you choose the path of righteousness, embodying the essence of purity and compassion? -- This remastered version integrates the base game from ihtasham42, featuring a complete graphic/UI redesign and new exclusive content (choose your path between evil or angelic). Estimated total gameplay time: 50 hours (without boosts).
