Read full description

A free incremental RPG you can play entirely offline. No ads, no paywall, and every goal in the game is reachable without spending a cent. The world's eight elemental forces were once held apart. Now they are bleeding together, and everything is changing. You are a Cataloguer: a licensed scholar sent into the saturated zones to document what lives there. Encounter creatures, record them, and fill the Manifest, one species at a time. The more you catalogue, the more the world opens up, and the closer you come to the thing nobody wants to talk about: why everything is falling apart. If you've always wanted to play a uniquely idle monster collecting adventure with the patience of a nature documentary and the wit of a dungeon crawl, this is your chance. Explore portals, return to new species and new regions, and watch the Manifest fill in like a field journal. WHAT YOU'LL FIND • Over 4,000 creatures to find, fight, and catalogue. Each holds a small piece of the overall narrative. • Over 300 classes to equip and level up. Send your hero into elemental portals and take control as battles unfold. • Offline progression that unlocks early and never stops: your hero keeps earning and your disciples keep hunting while the app is closed. • Every portal is graded. The threat ratings are, unfortunately, accurate. • 16 narrators bring the world alive through their lost dossiers. Sixteen cataloguers came before you and its on you to find out why they stopped writing. • Deep progression: level classes, raise disciples, study at the university, upgrade your guild license, master insignias, power up skills, and more. • Rare enemy variants, an ever-expanding ladder of achievements, and Game Center leaderboards (purely optional). FAIR BY DESIGN The whole game is offline, free, and ad-free. The optional purchases are purely cosmetics that support a solo, part-time developer. I'm an incremental game fan who got bored waiting for the next one to drop. Made by one person as a part-time passion project. Thank you for giving it a shot!

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Incremental ELM Quest 2 at 4.7 against Omega Protocol's 4.0. Incremental ELM Quest 2 also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (40 vs 8). Omega Protocol's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Incremental ELM Quest 2 holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Incremental ELM Quest 2 has 40 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Omega Protocol's written reviews are positive against 83% of Incremental ELM Quest 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Omega Protocol ships an update every 2 weeks, Incremental ELM Quest 2 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
