Welcome to "Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon", where the clang of iron bars is music to your ears and the sight of stone walls warms your heart. This isn't just any idle tycoon game, it's a journey back to medieval times, where you'll become the master of your very own prison kingdom!

All while collecting gold for guarding your prisoners and making strategic upgrades to boost your earnings. But it's not all about the money.

"Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon" is more than just a game, it's a plunge into a time of knights and castles, where your strategic skills can build an empire.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon at 4.6 against Globby's 3.3. Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 4) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). Globby's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (60% vs 49%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon has 1.8K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon's written reviews are positive against 60% of Globby's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Idle Medieval Prison Tycoon ships an update every 6 weeks, Globby fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
