We took the concept of the previous Hardcore Adventure Speedrun Mode and turned it up to 11. New Temporary Custom GamemodeSay hello to Internal Suffering Speedrun Mode!Īvailable until: August 31 23: 59:59 GMT Melvor is not bad, but its not good either. I would recommend other Idle games such as NGU, ClickerHeroes #1, Crusaders of Lost Idols, a handful of mobile idle games. Would I recommend this game, no i wouldn't, unless you're a runescape fanboi or really want to try something different.
It's clean and doesn't consume much PC power to run but the gameplay is extremely mundane. There are other options and play styles yes, but as a new player its all pretty garbage and needs reworking.Īs idle games go, Melvor does provide a different type of game experience. Even if you collect 100 loot drops at a time which might take 30mins, you need several/tens of 100 loot drops to actually make any meaningful gold income. There is no easy way to grind money asap because you can't level anything past your combat level so you are forced to stop cooking or whatever then grind atk/def/str for hours until you run out of food, then go back to fishing or farming cows which isn't efficient unless you have an autoclicker looting everything overnight otherwise you have to manually loot the cows.
When it comes to gearing you have lots options bronze/iron/steel/mithril/adamantites etc but honestly they don't matter, they provide very insignificant improvements, and if you want to upgrade the gear to +1 or 2, then you need to buy Mining and Smithing which aren't cheap to purchase. all individually so one at a time, to equal-ish levels which takes hours for each. To improve combat rating (after the tutorial) you need to grind fishing to have mats to make food, then you have to grind cooking to make said food, then you can actually grind to improve your atk/def/str stats. My key issue is how leveling 'everything' is intertwined with something else. Progression itself, like with all idle games, the start is fast, but then it tremendously slows down. I have 5-7years years worth of idle incremental experience under my belt and Melvor just doesn't seem to hit the good dopamine spots that give you the sense of meaningful progression. It IS NOT 5/5, it doesn't deserve glowing reviews like i've been reading. It also isn’t a requirement to read as it sits on the side ready to access whenever you feel like reading.īeen playing Melvor for about 1-2weeks, its a solid 3/5 Idle game, maybe 3.5 if i'm generous. The Lore will now have its own section in the game where you can easily refer back to them as you please. With the addition of the Lore in Throne of the Herald, I hope that we can expand even further and provide insight into the world we are trying to create. There are 10 brand new Books totalling 10,500+ words that will greatly expand the world of Melvor, and will act as the gateway to future story telling.īuilding an actual world, story, and characters in Melvor Idle has always been something that I wanted to achieve. Bosses in Dungeons will have actual stories and dialogue so you can get an understanding of who they are and why they exist.
You, as the player, will be able to see in detail what your journey entails and how you managed to get through each section of the story.Įach of the new Dungeons in Combat play an important role in your journey, and after beating them you will be able to read how exactly you were able to defeat them. They’re designed as a tool to provide insight to the world of Melvor and the story you as the player are progressing through.Ī unique aspect around the Throne of the Herald Expansion is that it has been completely designed around an actual story.Īfter the events of Bane (Current final boss) have occurred, you will be taking on the task to seek answers and the truth. The LoreMelvor Idle currently has 5 Books detailing your adventures so far leading up to the final boss in the base game.
