Idle Crown

Idle Crown is a medieval idle RPG built around fifteen skills, a Holding you develop over time and long-term progression. You train skills, gather resources, craft equipment, raise buildings and unlock workers who make progress alongside you. There are no energy bars, premium currency or real-world clock limiting your next level.

Skills and progression

The fifteen skills include gathering, crafting, combat and lordly duties. You chop pine and progress to heartwood, mine tin through to runite, and forge everything from bronze swords to sovereign-tier blades. You can fish from minnows to leviathans, hunt rabbits and drakes, and cook simple meals into royal feasts. Combat, Piety and Stewardship add passives that affect the other skills.

Early levels come quickly, while endgame progression takes days. After level 99, each skill unlocks Mastery branches for Yield, Pace and Fortune, which you can fully respec.

Raise your Holding

You build twelve structures on a 20×20 plot, with each building providing permanent speed bonuses. Upgrades progress from pine planks to voidstone, and fully developing the Holding takes months of work.

Workers and upgrades

As you rise through the ranks from Serf to Freeman, Yeoman and King, you unlock workers who train skills alongside you. At high ranks, they can outpace the lord.

You can also invest coin in 23 permanent upgrades covering yield, speed, XP, critical hits, coin gain, minion slots, forge efficiency, sell prices, boss cooldowns and more. Upgrade ranks improve as you invest further. You can extend the offline cap from 12 hours to 36 and unlock a fifth minion slot.

Achievements and Steam features

The game has 100 achievements, written in a chronicle style rather than as generic task descriptions. Hidden achievements remain concealed until earned, and each has a hand-rendered gold-on-parchment icon.

Steam features include 20 leaderboards for speedruns, per-skill XP, Mastery, lifetime XP and longest streaks, along with Friend Rich Presence so friends can see which skill you are training. Offline catch-up supports up to 36 hours.
