I like Idler Auto-Battlers, if that's a good description. Games like Dragon Cliff or Ghost of Dragon (both by the same devs).
A group of NPCs automatically fight indefinitely, gather loot and experience and while that's going on you can manage a base or something, change the party, maybe some other stuff. A big part for me is also not constantly resetting to increase some multiplier, like you would in a Cookie Clicker, Leaf Blower Revolution or NGU Idle.
I need to find more games like this though. A lot of games on Steam in the Idler category are either clickers, which I don't want or F2P, that seemingly try to get you to buy stuff.
Sooo, football manager in fantasy setting? :)
I know you're joking to some extent, but can you just let the game run for hours, and it will continue to simulate matches / seasons, with basically no input? Or would it require regular input by changing players and other things?
I tried an FM once on Game Pass, but when it started with walls of text one after the other, I just zoned out and didn't even try.
Yeah, I was 100% joking. I have never played any football manager.
But as Darkest Dungeon introduced the idea of managing a roster of heroes, I can see how it can be easy to sink hours into base management alone
