Today, we will explore the world of Incremental games and Clicker RPG’s in the iOS and android store. Recently, we compiled our list of the Best Idle Games and we decided that it is best to make a completely different list for Incremental Games as not everyone enjoys Idle Games, but prefer progressive RPG mechanics with little to no “lazy” features that cater to casual gameplay or busy schedules. If you have a bit of time on your hands, you should definitely give these games a try.
What is Incremental Games?
Incremental Games, according to Wiki, is a player performing a simple action, usually a click and getting rewarded for it. They are also known as Clicker RPG, Clicker Games or Clicking Games.
If you browse around the App Store lately, you will see the popularity of these games. If you are a casual gamer, these type of games will appeal to you more. The act of “clicking” offers simple, yet effective gameplay for busy people. In certain games, this turns into automation, where your heroes or empire is being built while offline.
Although, there are elements within these incremental games that appeal to a more hardcore player base as they tend to spend in-game to “get good”, this may include PVP, Boss Raiding and Clan Battles.
What is the difference between Incremental & Idle Games?
This is an interesting question and it comes down to psychology. To have “incremental” gameplay is to reward players taking a small action and being rewarded endlessly. This “endless” mechanic keeps you wanting to get stronger and stronger, but it doesn’t end. For certain games, it is continuous and infinite.
Idle or as I like to call it: lazy-play, is to play a game without actually playing it. For example, in Idle Mine, you run a mining empire with mangers and workers. In the beginning, you are tapping (incremental) for a reward (mining and gold). Eventually, it will turn into an automated mining tycoon (Idle gameplay) with an endless amount of gold and rewards being produced.
Why Are Incremental Games So Popular?
Let’s talk about the gameplay for a second. For a mobile game to be considered Incremental, it would need a simple action and a reward. Now, this appeals to a wide audience.
If you are a mother with three kids and only need to spend 15-minutes playing an incremental game while spending hours off the game can also lead to rewards – why wouldn’t you? It also helps kids who don’t have to understand confusing RPG mechanics or gameplay.
These games appeal to the pain points of the average and casual gamer – the ones that are busy, who has a job and cannot spend much time gaming. In incremental games, once you launch the game after a busy schedule, you can immediately get back into it without losing any progress.
Imagine if your job was incremental; you get paid to show up for 2 hours, but the rest was automated and idle. But, every time you come back to work, your
