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!
Medieval

Your hero is already armed. Just let them loose. Medieval Idle is a dungeon-crawling idle RPG: pick a class, send your character into auto-combat, and watch them grow while you do something else — or just enjoy the ride. AUTO-COMBAT, REAL PROGRESSION No endless tapping. Your hero fights on their own against ever-tougher monsters, levels up, and earns gear from drops. There's no shop selling power — every piece of armor comes from a battle you won. 5 ZONES, EACH WITH ITS OWN BOSS Push through themed dungeons, face tougher elites along the way, and gear up for the boss waiting at the end of each region. GEAR THAT ACTUALLY MATTERS Rarities, equipment slots, attribute gems (attack, health, defense, crit), and item leveling — every drop is a decision: sell it for gold or slot it into your build. PRESTIGE: A NEW ERA Once your hero is strong enough, prestige into a new era with fragments and relics that carry permanent power forward. Every cycle runs faster than the last. 4 CLASSES, YOUR PLAYSTYLE Pick the class that fits how you play and build your gear strategy around it. ACHIEVEMENTS AND TITLES 15 achievements to unlock, each one earning you a title to show off. GAME CENTER Compare your progress with other players through Game Center — leaderboards and achievements, fully synced. 100% OFFLINE No internet required, no account, no data collection beyond what Game Center needs. Your progress stays saved right on your device. Gear up, draw your sword, and let the legend write itself.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Incremental ELM Quest 2 at none against Medieval's shown. Medieval's advantage is update cadence (daily vs every 4 days) and device support (3 vs 1). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
