Games like Incremental Epic Hero 2

Steam reviews

What players say

Players are split: many praise its deep, number-driven idle systems and free-to-play path, while many find the midgame grindy, confusing and pushy about premium purchases.

Many players enjoy the depth of this idle RPG: heroes, classes, skills, dungeons, alchemy and automation all interlock, and the game rewards both hands-off and active play. Several players say it runs well in the background and that the daily premium currency makes it possible to finish without paying. Many players complain that progress stalls after the early hours, with menus piling up, prices and progress requirements that climb sharply, and reset cycles that feel like repeated chores. Some find the Epic Coin shop pushy, with quality-of-life features locked behind it, and some report bugs and an unfinished endgame, such as missing content and lost items. Opinion is mixed overall, and reviewers who played hundreds of hours are often more critical than those who stopped earlier.

Who it suits

Suited to players who enjoy number-growth idle games, complex optimisation and long sessions, and who are patient with slow progress.

Who should skip it

Players who want simple click-and-wait idling, or who dislike menu-heavy designs and shop pressure, should skip it.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with hundreds of hours tend to criticise the midgame grind, rising costs and repeated resets more strongly, while those who stopped earlier mostly mention confusing menus and a slow start.
