Between Adventures IDLE

Between Adventures IDLE is an idle RPG in which the player’s hero fights in real-time battles shown in 2D pixel art. Combat is animated rather than presented as text logs, with melee lunges, projectile attacks and spells. Enemies include unique monsters and dungeon bosses. Players deal with status effects, shielding and combat consumables during encounters, and can either manage combat actively or leave the game running in the background.

The game has 11 skills covering gathering, crafting and magic: Mining, Gathering, Woodcutting, Fishing, Blacksmithing, Crafting, Cooking, Alchemy, Arcane School, Upgrade and Enchantment. Resource Mastery bonuses can be unlocked, and a gathering task can run at the same time as a crafting task. An interconnected Skill Tree lets players specialise their character with passive perks such as faster gathering, double drop chances and combat bonuses.

Players can craft weapons, armour and tools across a multi-tier rarity system, improve gear with Enchantment stones, and sell surplus loot to merchants. Progress continues while the player is away, with full offline progression. The game has no microtransactions, no pay-to-win mechanics and no forced ads, and is bought once. Its Steam review rating has changed from Mixed to Mostly Positive.
