Idle Wasteland: RPG Survival

Has all the things that make idle games fun, constant meaningful progression, progression that you customize and constantly weight choices for how you want to play, steady unlocks to keep the game fresh. I currently have ELEVEN different skill trees/ achievements unlocks/ craft system and others to power up and there might be more as there is clearly spots for content I’m not high enough lvl for yet. I rarely put money into mobile games unless I believe I will get an appropriate amount of time out of a game and this is one of the few I have with the no ads pack and the pet pack that unlocks the extra pet and pet slot. The biggest complaint I have almost caused me to give it 4/5 because it’s bad but one system out of the stated 11 might be to picky but again it’s real bad. The pet system is daunting to say the least where it’s clear you can take a month to max a single pet out of 8. This goes against the constant progression that I said makes idle games fun but what really makes it dreadful is that you have to micromanage it constantly. Out of the 8 pets each one gets xp from a different action and to switch out a pet you have to click menu, click pet, click current pet, click remove, click desired pet, click equip, click exit, you have to do this every time you want to give your pet xp and I’d say roughly every 30 seconds you’ll tend to do enough to qualify for xp for all 8 pets. If this sounds insane it truly is as I don’t like giving up on pet xp especially as I said these pets take forever to lvl up. The number one thing they can do to improve this game is allow pets to gain xp even if they are not equipped (still have to be unlocked of course). It would also be nice if you could choose what talent is the permanent buff once the pet reaches lvl5 as some permanent buffs are mediocre or slight worse. Minor other complaints is no online saves or cross saves as I can’t get my IOS saves over to BlueStacks (android) as I can’t always leave it running 24/7 on my phone which is weird for a game on both platforms not to allow that nowadays as the benefit of syncing saves to Facebook or other social media makes players visit their pages.

So, I started playing this game, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. The prestige mechanic is more gratifying than other idle games, the designs are more original than anticipated (even though there is some clear inspiration from the Fallout games), and it’s a great play. I only had one issue with the game, and it’s more of a personal issue. Before moving on, I should preface that I did pay to get ads pulled off, which I don’t feel is a flaw. If you work hard creating something, it’s only fair that you get compensated for it, so you can keep on it. The issue I dealt with was the activity times. As you start out, you don’t really need to keep the app on for too long to get things done. However, late game, I found myself keeping the app open longer and longer to get to daily tasks and missions done. I understand that they’re not mandatory and there’s no drawback for not completing them, other than missing out on the rewards, but an idle game should be just that: idle. I should be able to get stuff done while the game is open in another tab or not open. It could also be remedied by additional mini games or things to do, beyond occasional tapping. So, still 5 stars, since my only issue was more out of personal preference than any glaring issues. It’s a great game with a good amount of originality and content.

Hi, I played this game awhile ago and wanted to return to it after deleting it from my iPhone, but I noticed my progress didn’t save. Is there anyway I can get my old progress back? Thank you

Gone for 5 1/2hrs, got 600 scrap, moved 4 lvls. Idle is in the title but I don’t see it.

A bit more complex than your standard idle game, but not too much that it demands all of your attention. The progression feels satisfying and there’s a good mix of items and rewards to spice up gameplay. Definitely one of the better idle games on the App Store right now

Good game, just waiting for the dev to add a way to transfer progress.
