This post goes out to all the IOS players who have a difficult time finding engaging incrementals. Below is a list of some original (i.e. not mainstream) titles.
- Cyber Tycoon
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cyber-tycoon/id1197922207
This is pretty much a AdCap Clone. There's heists you can undertake which grant you multipliers to your various production units. Also, you earn bitcoin gradually which you can sell as an additional stream of income.
- Idle Universe
https://apps.apple.com/au/app/idle-universe/id1195110094#?platform=iphone
This game is part of the genre of incrementals that use various production units which produce a single production/currency. You start from tapping then you unlock quantum foam, a photon, a neutrino, ... a molecule, ... an asteroid etc. If you're into science then this you interest you, especially because there is a 'i' button to acquire more info about said production element/tier
Each production milestone x25, x50, x100 etc unlocks an upgrade point which you can use for 3 RANDOM upgrades including production, speed, tap multiplier, crit etc. Some people might not like this but I like the unpredictability of it in that you can try out different setups each run.
Which transitions smoothly into the prestige mechanic. The prestige currency grants various 'divine powers' (up to 21) and you can sell these 21 powers for a 'Singularity' which is an additional prestige.
NOTE: Not P2W
An itch is that the timewarp is incredibly op and their is a prestige timer which limits how often you can prestige so... yeah. You can bypass this with the premium currency
ALSO: There is no idle income despite 'idle' being in the title. Really strange move. This emphasises timewarp as a method to rapidly progress
- Bacterial Takeover
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bacterial-takeover-idle-game/id1217470965
Now this is interesting. The depth of this game is nice. Again like the last two you develop bacteria using your bacteria-producing units to invade planets and to infect them. After this, you gain the prestige currency, restart from diddly squat then work towards infecting the next planet. You can create, augment and merge different bacteria to raise different stats like BPS (bacteria per sec), BPC (bacteria per click), increased prestige currency gain, reduced production tier price etc. You can choose specific loadouts which emphasise active or idle play.
You can research to increase the production of production units, create nanobots to assist in invading planets and do 'planetary research' to aid in invading planets and to gather minerals (which I have not gathered any). Plus, two more research tasks I have yet to unlock
Also, consuming planets contributes to this black hole on the map which might act like a super prestige. I don't know, I haven't reached it
Super cool game which is bound to keep you engaged.
- Car Industry Tycoon
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/car-industry-tycoon/id1491135215
I thought this was one of this super P2W cashgrabs, low effort games but looks decent. So you begin developing the chasis of a car which a handful of workers then you expand your operations to encompass dozens of workers and production lines. The strategy is quite simple (like locating bottlenecks in production) but just witnessing your car factory operating is rewarding
DISCLAIMER: Only 2 hours of idle time, need to pay for more :(
Also made by an independent developer not some gigantic conglomerate corporation.
Some other ones which have kept me engaged but delated --> Idle Apocalypse, Idle Planet Miner. Not delated but playing is scrap clicker 2 but can get repetitive and major emphasis on ad events
So that's it. Hopefully this list can be of assistance
NOTE: The links might not work. Its the web version of the app store from the Australian appstore
also NOTE: I played these games for a week minus car factory tycoon so that I had a chance to complete some prestiges and get an overall feel for the game
