Bored Yet? Here Are the Best Idle Shooting Games in 2024
Ever had that “nothing to do but don’t feel like doing nothing" phase? Enter: idle games.
You tap. The game plays itself — or rather, it pretends to play while you scroll Instagram and sip your overpriced coffee. But toss shooting into the mix? Suddenly, things got more interesting. These aren't your average zombie clickers or sword-swinging simulators. Oh no. Welcome to the age where you fire guns on auto-pilot while binge-watching YouTube (or arguing with bots online – we don't judge).
What’s Up With the Popularity of Idle Shooters Anyway?
- You gain progress even when away – like cheating, but legal.
- Clean visuals = clean thoughts. Minimalist menus for minimalist minds.
- You shoot baddies without moving a muscle? Genius. Lazy, yet oddly productive.
| Game | Premise | RPG Story Depth | Why It Slaps |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goblin Survival | You shoot stuff… while doing almost nothing. | Slight lore about cursed caves? Sure, counts! | The idle + tower defense vibe is gold, bruh. |
| Zombie Clicker Chronicles | No plot? No prob. You kill brains. Repeat. | If a catchy title counts as storytelling... | Satisfying click sound = pure serotonin. |
| Mars Rogue Idle | Apollo's long lost nephew starts his rebellion. | Meh, could've been Final Fantasy good tho 💀 | You unlock lasers and hover-ships. Need I say more? |
| Futuristic Gun Collector | Collect ALL THE FIREARMS from all time-zones. | Weak at launch… then randomly deep AF later. | Mini quests + side gear = less boring grindin’. |
| Dungeon Auto-Shoot 2k7 | Dude. Just shoot the loot boxes. Always aim... upwards. | Dark humor? Dark graphics. Dark theme = best theme? | Hell yeah! It rewards patience & rage-clickers! |
Skip the GAAAs and Try This One Instead
"Idle shooter games give me dopamine in packets."
Your Phone Battery Will Live Another Day 😍
Unlike most mobile shooters out there (you ever charge your phone before noon?), idle titles chill in battery life limbo. Why spend watts on triple-A battlescapes if you can burn 1% per day and keep those gank sessions going longer?
Rage Mode Activated: Which Idle Games Let You Shoot First And Ask Questions Later?
Let me break it down fast — some let YOU actually play. Some make ya press 'play' and go get lunch until level 5. Both fun? Yep. Worth the download time if you’re trying to look busy during Zoom calls 🙌
Goblins vs Bullets – Because Someone Had to Do It
In Goblin Survival, you basically become commander of your own bullet-spitting kingdom. Hire archers via swipe-up ads, maybe buy extra cannonballs through a $9.99 monthly bundle. Totally worth it, if by “worth it" I mean you’ve given up and embraced microtransactions 💸💥
- Mechanic: Tapping = bullets
- Idle Bonus:
- Autofire when AFK
- Epic bosses arrive like Uber drivers - just ring once!
We interrupt this ranking to ask one question: When does idle turn to ‘just gave up’?
Maybe next time they’ll code something where instead of aiming... you summon dragons via voice commands 🐉✨ (hint hint Google AI 👀)
“Best RPG Stories? Pfff…" Yeah Right
Rumor said *one* idle game would finally deliver a plot twist worthy of Netflix. But here’s what really happened:
Say what you wanna about RPG elements here – unless the devs plan cutscenes longer than 5 seconds with music from FF9 (we’d all cry), don’t be fooled.
Can Final Fantasy-Like Titles Be Made Idle-Style?
| + Chill Gameplay: Relax & let the party fight solo | – Too much clicking still required sometimes? |
| Tons of character building via offline upgrades | Visual style might look outdated |
