About the game
Idle Archery is an idle incremental game. The cursor attacks targets for gold, which buys tougher targets that pay more, archers who shoot on their own, and upgrades for damage, critical hits, ricochets and arrow types. Each target type has a ten-rank Mastery track; at rank 10 its targets evolve into a stronger type, and once Wooden, Bronze, Silver and Golden have all evolved, the Diamond Target unlocks. Prestige resets the run for Prestige Points, which buy permanent talents. A free demo is on Steam; the full game releases on Feb 3, 2027 for Windows, macOS and Linux.
