IdleCrawler is a dark fantasy idle RPG where you descend through the dungeon in first person. Your knight keeps fighting even when the screen is off, and the gold you earn makes you stronger when you return. First Person Combat Face the monsters in front of you with sword and shield, as if you were holding them yourself. The blade rises, cuts down and thrusts, and stronger monsters appear as the stages climb. Five Regions Throne Hall, Lava Wastes, Ruined Cathedral, Cursed Forest and Crimson Tower. Each region has its own backdrop and monsters. Collect Gear Gather weapons, shields and armor. Monsters drop gear in six rarities: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary and Mythic. Upgrades and Rebirth Spend gold on attack, attack speed and defense. When the descent gets too hard, rebirth to earn coins and raise permanent stats, then climb again faster than before. Offline Rewards The hunt goes on for up to two hours while the app is closed. Open it again to collect the gold you earned. Leaderboard Compete with other adventurers by highest stage and number of rebirths. Sign up with just a username and password, with no name or email required.
