Archmage Idle vs Vastward

Train Skills. Recruit Wizards. Conquer Foes. An idle/incremental RPG with deeply interconnected skills. Your skills feed the frontlines: Attunement, Summoning, and Sigilry power your wizards as they fight across an elemental hex map. Your skills feed the supply lines: Research, Runecrafting, Alchemy, Mercantile, and Scavenging keep the resources flowing. And skills you won't find anywhere else, like Chronomancy, Diplomacy, and Appraisal, tie it all together. Burn Runes in the Runic Cauldron. Train wizards at the Academy. Sell surplus goods on the Bazaar. Collect hundreds of items that fuel both your skilling and your combat. Your guild keeps working while you're offline.

You found her drifting dark between stars: a generation ship the size of a city, silent for centuries. One held breath on the reactor and her heartbeat returns. Everything after that is yours to rebuild. Vastward is an idle game about restoration. Every purchase repairs a recognizable part of the vessel — water thaws and starts to move, gardens climb a dead district, homes light up and people return, and a star drive that hasn’t fired in living memory warms deck by deck. Progress is something you watch happen to a ship, not a number on a card. THE SHIP COMES FIRST • A hand-painted cutaway ark that visibly transforms with every restoration • Widen the power grid, bank a reserve for the hours you’re away, and watch both on the hull itself • Purpose-built hull classes with module bays — a build, not a checklist PLAY YOUR WAY • Honest idle: production continues while you’re away, capped and clearly reported — never a fee to collect it • Hold-to-play Reactor Overdrive and Command Momentum reward focused sessions without punishing rest • Four signal games — a drift, a puzzle, a lander, a loading dock — each a different skill, each paying real Power • Ship dispatches with transparent, deterministic choices; no hidden odds anywhere THE LONG GAME • Ignite the star drive, chart routes to a shattered seed-vault and a dormant foundry • Found a permanent fleet: archived ships terraform visible worlds with their own economies • Game Center leaderboards for every signal game; progress backed up with iCloud No advertisements. No purchases. No energy timers, streaks, or expiring offers. Vastward is free and complete.
