IdleOn is a unique type of MMO, and I haven't really seen any other game like it. Unlike other MMOs, you will still progress even when you aren't playing the game, and there are even features in the game designed for going idle and letting your character grind without needing to lift a finger. It's an interesting concept and one I could easily see myself getting lost in, especially now with the game getting Steam Deck support.

In the newest update, which dropped on the 21st, we got a big patch filled with quality-of-life changes and bug fixes, but it also made the game playable on the Steam Deck! Oddly enough, the game was already playable on the Steam Deck, but it has been rated Playable. I assume that this could mean that they solved the small issues stopping it from getting Verified, which means the virtual keyboard would pop up by itself when needing to enter text and have the game support the correct resolution.

Regardless, the update is still a very significant one! There have been a ton of changes that are aimed at making the experience of playing the game so much better. There are new hotkeys to make summoning matches nicer, Talent Libraries will skip over the classes you don't choose, you can hover over any bucket at The Well to change what they collect, you can lock empty farming plots, and so much more.

There is a significant list of changes to make the game more playable, so you can check out the full changelog with the updates via their Steam Community Post.
