PROGRESS THAT NEVER RESETS Every item you collect makes you stronger for good. A failed run costs you levels and gold, but never your gear or your collection. You always come back stronger than you left. A HUGE WORLD TO CONQUER Start in the Grasslands, then fight through forests, volcanoes, deserts and the sunken Underwater trench. Pass the World Gate to Japan, Greece, the Military Yard and Heaven. Keep going through the Maze, the Graveyard, Korea, London, the Museum and Mexico, all the way into The Dark. That's 180+ maps across 20+ regions, each with its own monsters, loot and secrets. 1,000+ ITEMS TO HUNT Weapons, armor, helmets, boots and accessories, each with real trade-offs. Collect duplicates for permanent bonuses that carry into every run. 50+ BOSSES Every boss is a real wall until you're ready for it. Elite and Ultra bosses drop even better loot. THREE WAYS TO PLAY • Normal Mode: the full journey • Hard Mode: tougher monsters, better gear • Death Mode: a brutal separate mode with its own skill tree 25+ HEROES Unlock heroes with their own stat strengths and playstyles, and level up your mastery with each one. SECRETS EVERYWHERE Hidden grounds, secret tickets, Easter eggs and rare troll collections are waiting for players who look closely.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Idle Mage Academy at 100% against Infinite Loot's 49%. Idle Mage Academy also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). Infinite Loot's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Infinite Loot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Idle Mage Academy asks for nothing beyond the download.
Infinite Loot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infinite Loot has 25 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Idle Mage Academy's written reviews are positive against 49% of Infinite Loot's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Idle Mage Academy ships an update every 2 months, Infinite Loot every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
