Steam charts: New idle game demo tops "Trending Free" with overwhelmingly positive reviews

True to its name, Nomad Idle is an idle game developed and published by The Fox Knocks. The character battles endless waves of enemies and gathers resources automatically, allowing players to focus on strategy or jump in when needed. You can distribute skill points across seven stats, choose summons and passive abilities and collect, craft and upgrade gear.

In Nomad Idle, players advance through increasingly difficult levels, constantly experimenting with different skill point allocations, abilities and equipment. This roguelite element keeps the gameplay engaging over the long run. The real appeal lies in testing these combinations to overcome challenges and push the story forward. Set in a pixelated 2D fantasy world, the game ensures that every decision directly influences the experience. As of this writing, details about the story remain unknown.

The demo for Nomad Idle launched on Steam on February 3 and received an overwhelmingly positive response. ust three days after release, it has gathered 40 reviews, with 95% rating it favorably. The game also holds the top spot in Steam’s “Trending Free” category. Fans won’t have to wait much longer for the full release, which is set for March 28, 2025.

By the way: Developer The Fox Knocks has three other titles on Steam: Shadowkin, Raid Run and Nomad Survival. The latter might be especially worth a look, it’s a bullet-heaven roguelite priced at around $5, boasting an 88% positive rating.
