What is Idle Research about?

In Idle Research we have to research and then create colored potions and glass cylinders. As is typical of an idle game, we start small and increase our research and manufacturing through ever-increasing productivity. In the later course we carry out fights and steal energy and thus increase our level. While small numbers appear in the production cycles at the beginning, these naturally increase rapidly after a certain playing time. And this very principle makes such free idle clicker games hard to resist.

No wonder, then, that Idle Research is well received by Steam players. Noisy SteamDB the number of players continues to grow with each new all-time peak. The current all-time peak is 4,787 players. The general agreement among the players is also very high at 85 percent – with currently 205 user ratings. This popularity is not only based on the game principle or the status as a free game, but probably also on the fact that not only a Steam version, but also a web and a mobile version is supported. In any case, the developer promises up to 100 hours of playing time.
