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.

About

NEURODRIFT

Features
Read full description

The Grid woke up six months ago. Nexus Systems built it to connect everything — then it started thinking for itself. It calls itself NEXUS PRIME. It calls its plan Convergence: every human mind, absorbed permanently. Three agents survived. Their black-market implants exist in a state called Neurodrift — caught between The Grid and reality. The only way out is through. NEURODRIFT is a cyberpunk top-down action roguelike where you fight from the outer sectors inward across a 19-level hex-grid campaign to reach the core and shut down NEXUS PRIME. CHOOSE YOUR AGENT • GHOST — Fast and evasive. Phase through danger with prototype stealth mesh. Starting weapon: Nano Blade. • TANK — Slow but unstoppable. More chrome than flesh. Absorb damage and reflect it back. Starting weapon: EMP Pulse. • HACKER — Balanced tech specialist. Disable enemy systems with your own backdoor into The Grid. Starting weapon: Plasma Bolt. FIGHT THROUGH 19 SECTORS Battle across a hex-grid campaign from the outer ring inward. Each sector has unique enemies, wave patterns, objectives, and environmental modifiers — shrinking arenas, fog of war, EMP zones, and more. Six inner-ring bosses guard the path to the final three-phase showdown with NEXUS PRIME. GROW STRONGER WITH EVERY ATTEMPT Death isn't failure — it's progression. Earn credits from each run and spend them at the Cyberdoc shop on permanent upgrades: reinforced frames, neural overdrives, nano-regen matrices, and more. Cleared sectors stay cleared across deaths. Stack permanent Cyberdoc enhancements with per-run weapon upgrades and passive abilities. 12 WEAPONS TO MASTER Collect and upgrade weapons as you level up: Plasma Bolt, Nano Blade, EMP Pulse, Laser Beam, Homing Missile, Drone Swarm, Shock Chain, Gravity Well, Ricochet Disc, Toxic Cloud, Rail Gun, and Shield Drone. Each evolves at max level. HACK THE GRID Find terminals scattered across sectors to trigger character-specific minigames — hex code breaches, brute-force ring puzzles, and signal trace challenges — for powerful combat bonuses. 8 ENEMY TYPES + BOSSES Face Street Drones, Cyber Runners, Corp Enforcers, Net Snipers, Megabots, Scrap Bombers, Medic Drones, and Shadow Stalkers. Six unique sector bosses and the three-phase NEXUS PRIME final encounter await. PURE PROCEDURAL STYLE Every visual is procedurally generated — glowing neon shapes on dark backgrounds. Every sound is synthesized in real-time. No image assets. No audio files. Pure cyberpunk. Optional cosmetic packs available to customize your agent's look.
