Description
Welcome to Idle Runner — a fast-paced idle RPG where your wizard fights automatically while you master the art of upgrades and strategy!
🧙 YOUR WIZARD FIGHTS ALONE Your hero auto-runs, auto-shoots, and auto-battles through endless waves of enemies. Your job? Spend wisely on upgrades to make them unstoppable. Unlock Auto Shoot, boost Bullet Damage, and discover powerful abilities to dominate the battlefield.
🔥 TRUE BACKGROUND PLAY Unlike most idle games, Idle Runner runs fully in the background. Minimize the app, lock your phone, switch to another app — your hero continues battling, earning coins, and progressing through waves in real time. No need to keep the screen on. Get a notification when your hero falls and jump right back in.
⚔️ WAVE-BASED COMBAT Survive increasingly difficult waves of enemies. Goblins, trolls, knights, vampires, necromancers, and massive bosses every 10 waves. Each enemy type has unique abilities and attack patterns. How far can you push?
🛡️ DEEP UPGRADE SYSTEMS • Temporary boosts — spend leafs during each run, reset on death • Permanent upgrades — invest coins in the Workshop, keep them forever • Ascension — push beyond max level for permanent percentage bonuses • Powers — 5 unique abilities, each with upgradeable parameters • Equipment — loot gear from bosses across 5 rarities with magical properties • Runes — 14 runes with rarity tiers, equip slots, and synergy bonuses • Passive Skills — 30 skills that unlock automatically as you hit milestones
🌍 6 UNIQUE WORLDS Journey from the Enchanted Forest through Dark Cavern, Scorched Desert, Corrupted Forest, Volcanic Wastes, and the mysterious Void Realm. Each world brings exclusive enemies, tougher bosses, higher rewards, and unique visual themes.
🐾 COMPANIONS & COSMETICS Collect animated companions that fight alongside your wizard and gain XP from every wave survived. Unlock hero skins with unique visual styles. Each companion and skin grants bonus rewards.
🏆 SEASON PASS & QUESTS 30 tiers of free and premium rewards each season. Daily and weekly quests keep you coming back with fresh challenges. Equip War Banners for snowballing bonuses that grow stronger the longer you survive.
💎 FAIR FREE-TO-PLAY No energy system. No paywalls. Play as much as you want. Diamonds are earned through gameplay, daily chests, quests, and optional ads. Every feature is accessible to free players.

★★★★☆Artem· Jun 16, 2026
Pretty nice idle. Are you planning to add any type of leaderboard later?
★★★★★Artem· Jul 6, 2026
Nice little idle, good progression and more content is yet to come.
★☆☆☆☆Gerard Dummett· Jun 28, 2026
Idle games should have offline gains, or a way to replay stages automatically that's free. I don't get any offline gains. How does that work? Death replay is $16.00? Idle game where you need to be active to restart combat.
★★☆☆☆Derek Lawrence· Jul 30, 2026
It's okay, but badly balanced, feels like it was just spit out with AI
