Finally, an idle game not fueled by a developer's greed
When I mention idle games to my friends, they think I'm insane because they're known as a cesspool of timewalls, paywalls, and intense greed from developers in the form of $9.99 for this, $4.99 for that, five minutes of ads for that other thing. All I really want from idle games is a relaxing and chill experience, and I'm even sick of those cash-grabs.
And then you have this game: Idle Wizard, a Fair Play Game. It captures all the thrills of similar games (and even uses the formula that put Egg, Inc. on the map), and takes out the $9.99. Even ads are an optional feature of the game, though highly rewarding for those who choose to build around ads, yet the game is still competent and fun to play.
Then you have the customization in the form of items and ancient mana (think Epic Upgrades and Golden Eggs), in that every aspect of the game can be upgraded permanently beyond prestiges, from the amount of charges you can make to your generation of power, even extending to increasing the frequency of rewarded ads and boosting their effectiveness.
All in all, this is an idle game worth playing even if you're like me and don't have money to spend on games.
