Today's game: Masketeer, Idle has fallen.

Note: this game is in early access so I can't link from the play store.


Here is what this game looks kike in the play store. Since it is in early access, I can not post a link to this page.


This game is heavily steeped in Japanese lore. You have characters that wear Noh inspired masks and must defeat shadowy creatures. This game is still under development so many things could change at any tine.


This is an idle game with a very unique match 3 style element. You collect Sparks that allow you to upgrade each Masketeer.


Each Masketeer requires a lot of sparks to level. As they do so they gain better stats and improvement points to level their skills. These levels reset every transcendance.


As this screen shows here, each Masketeer has several passive skills that rank up with improvement points. Each can also be equipped with runes, the gems to the side. These runes can be fused to become stronger.


Charms are special unlocks that can boost stats for a temporary time. These require premium gems to purchase.

You collect many masks. You can break down older masks for essence to upgrade other masks you have.

Guardians can be bought and upgraded with sparks. These reset every transcendance.


Every few hours you can hatch pets. These guys can level up as you collect more and spawn special orbs that give temporary boosts.

When you transcend you gain arcana. This us used to buy relics and upgrade them permanently.


You can gain a free chest each day that gives you masks and runes. You can also purchase them with premium currency. There us also a special charm here you can only get during early access.

Lastly, quests are how you gain more premium currency each day. Along with reaching milestone levels.
