The picks
Nonstop Knight 2
Dungeons, bosses, hack-and-slash and mighty loot, as its store page puts it. If you played the first game, start here.
Knight Hero Adventure
A knight that fights automatically, collects stronger gear and pushes further every run. Small (100K+ installs) but rated 4.71.
Buff Knight
A retro RPG runner with the same never-stop idea. The version called Buff Knight: Offline Idle RPG costs $1.49 with no ads, rated 4.50; Buff Knight Advanced, the follow-up, adds ads and in-app purchases and has a lower rating (3.16).
Slayer Legend and Almost a Hero
Two bigger idle action RPGs with more than 5 million installs each, if you want more depth than the runners offer.
Idle Slayer
A pixel runner where the killing is automatic and your job is jumping for coins and choosing upgrades.
Soul Knight
Not idle, but if the action is what you love, this twin-stick dungeon shooter has more than 100 million installs.
Our pick for auto-battle fans
Our Idle Ronin is an auto-battling idle RPG with a cyberpunk twist: a Ronin and a squad of cyborgs fight on their own, you tap active skills for bosses, and the squad keeps fighting for up to 8 hours while you are away.

What to look for in an auto-battle RPG
- Meaningful loot. The fun of Nonstop Knight was gear that changed how your knight fought. Check the screenshots for gear and skill choices, not just bigger numbers.
- Skills you trigger. The best auto-battlers still give you a few active skills for the big moments.
- A fair shop. Compare the top of the in-app price range; a runner with a $49.99 ceiling pushes less than one at $99.99.
- Offline progress. Auto-battle games are perfect idle games when they keep fighting while you are away.
