The Hidden Depth Behind Seemingly “Idle" Design

Titles like "Idle Realm Legends’ bring long-term progression loops into co-op spaces – think mining gold overnight and waking up to share resources among friends. For Australians seeking a chill but rewarding experience without constant button-mashing, these are a no-brainer pick.
Skill Sharing: How Group Roles Improve Engagement
When diving into a true **puzzle metro kingdom** style game:
- Players naturally split between gatherer, manager & strategist roles
- Missions can’t proceed without all members being present at least semi-active (this makes it great for work-break teams!)
