About This Game

Use your PC. Grow your knight.

Idle Knight is an idle RPG that runs in the background while you use your computer.

Every real interaction helps your knight progress. Mouse clicks, keyboard inputs and controller actions generate XP.

Use your PC normally and let your knight grow alongside you.

Work, study, browse the web, watch videos, play another game or simply use your computer. Your knight keeps progressing in the background.

YOUR PC. YOUR PROGRESSION.

The concept is simple.

You don't need to actively grind the game. Your normal PC activity generates XP for your knight.

Level up, earn stat points, improve your build and become stronger.

Early progression is fast and rewarding. As you progress further, optimization becomes more important.

Your goal isn't just to gain levels. It's to build a character capable of pushing further.

BUILD YOUR KNIGHT

Every level gives you stat points that shape your character.

HP

Increase your survivability.

DMG

Deal more damage and defeat enemies faster.

AGI

Improve your speed and evasion.

Choose the build that fits your playstyle.

Focus on damage, build a tank, specialize in agility or create your own hybrid build.

There is no single perfect build. Different choices can be useful depending on your goals.

EXPERIMENT AND OPTIMIZE

You are not permanently locked into your choices.

Special items such as the Phoenix Feather allow you to reset your stats while keeping your level.

Try different builds, test your stats and find the setup that works best for you.

DUNGEONS

Enter dungeons and put your build to the test.

Choose a dungeon based on its recommended level, fight through multiple floors and face the final boss.

Higher difficulty means greater challenges and better rewards.

A weak build can struggle before reaching the end.

A well-optimized build can clear dungeons efficiently and push further.

CLIMB THE RANKS

Compete in ranked mode and see how far your build can take you.

Farmer -> Stable Boy -> Infantryman -> Knight -> Royal Knight -> Warlord

You have a limited number of ranked attempts each day.

Win to climb.

Lose and your rank can drop.

Rank is not simply based on playtime. Your build, decisions and combat performance matter.

PLAY YOUR WAY

Idle Knight supports both passive and active play.

PASSIVE PLAY

Keep the game running in the background while you use your computer.

Your normal activity continues generating progression.

ACTIVE PLAY

Manage your build, optimize your stats, run dungeons, collect rewards and compete in ranked mode.

Most players will naturally combine both.

COLLECT AND CUSTOMIZE

Build your knight, then make it your own.

Collect skins and cosmetic items as you progress.

Cosmetics are purely visual and have no impact on your stats, combat performance or progression.

Some cosmetic items can be traded or sold through the Steam Community Market.

Collect the items you like, trade with other players or sell eligible items you no longer want.

New cosmetic items and collections can be added over time, giving you more reasons to keep playing and expanding your collection.

MORE THAN LEVELING

Your progression goes beyond XP and levels.

Discover items, improve your character, use consumables, open rewards and unlock achievements as you progress.

The further you go, the more important optimization becomes.

FREE TO PLAY

Idle Knight is free to play.

There is no pay-to-win progression.

Gameplay-relevant systems can be unlocked through normal progression.

Cosmetic items do not affect your character's power.

FAIR PLAY

Idle Knight uses an anti-cheat system designed to protect progression and ranked competition.

The system can detect macros, automated inputs and unnatural input patterns.

The goal is simple: keep the competition fair for everyone.

ROADMAP

Idle Knight is built to grow over time.

The current version is only the beginning.

Future updates will expand the game with new content, systems, challenges and cosmetic collections.

The roadmap focuses on giving players more ways to progress, customize their knight, test their builds and compete.

New Dungeons

New environments, enemies, bosses and challenges.

New Items & Equipment

More ways to customize and improve your character.

New Skills & Systems

New mechanics and strategies for different builds.

New Competitive Content

More goals for players who want to push their rank further.

New Cosmetic Collections

More skins and cosmetic items to discover, collect and trade.

Quality of Life Improvements

Continuous improvements based on player feedback.

The roadmap may evolve as development continues.

BUILT FOR THE LONG RUN

Idle Knight is a long-term progression game.

Leave it running while you use your computer, then come back to improve your build, push a dungeon, collect new cosmetics or climb the rankings.

Start by leveling.

Then start optimizing.

Then push further.

Use your PC. Grow your knight. Build smarter. Collect more. Climb higher.
