Looking for Long-Term Games (beehaw.org)

Hello Lemmy,

I'm looking for a long-term Android / browser / PC game, were you manage your stuff and come back a few ours or days later.

I'm thinking of games like:

aspects that I don't like in the above games are:

  • PvP (especially when you have to come online at a certain point in time in order to not loose sth.) -> ogame, Neptun's Pride
  • Needing to be online at a certain point in time to make proper progress (stuinverse)
  • being to overwhelming or basically an excel sheet (Prosperous Universe)
  • pay to skip time sucks
  • keep clicking to progress faster is sth. I don't like as well

It doesn't need other players or a scifi theme (although I prefer it), but it should be real-time based and long-term with little daily time input.

It should be a management, base building, trading, strategy game.

Perhaps s.o. knows games like this :)

Universal Paperclips! It’s an idle game that relies on you making smart planning decisions to optimize things, so there’s a degree of strategy that most of them lack.

If you're looking for managing idle games I can recommend a few.

My top one that turns it into a character management sim that still has interesting individual mechanics is Legends of Idelon. Available on steam, ios, Android and web browser. I picked it back up a few months ago and came back to each character having about 270 days of time to claim lmao. An unbelievable amount of content and the dev is very active still. Boss fights, secrets, large enemy variations, currently 5 worlds, many free in game events where you can get paid items (time skips, gems, usually a really good amount). Crafting, item gathering, 4 classes with many more advanced upgrades, interesting skills, etc.

If you're looking for a straight up idle game then I would recommend:

  1. Antimatter dimensions, steam and website are up to date, Android and ios are catching up still. Around 180-360 days to beat probably. Not a "click to go faster" but instead just keeping up with things that will generate your income.
  2. CIFI, devs are active, community is active and welcoming, at least 180 days of content at this time (been playing for 3 months myself, really fun). Second prestige is coming out really soon. Current afk limit is 24 hours, I believe.
  3. Idle Research, smaller game, but some interesting concepts and ideas, still fun but not very long atm.

God damn I miss Ogame back when it was decent. Even getting fleet crashed because you forget to send them on a mission was exciting. I'll keep an eye on this thread, that sounds fun.
