Welcome to Idle Cult Empire, a tycoon-style experience where you build and expand your own mysterious cult empire. Step into the role of an idle evil genius and take control of a hidden underground operation, where your goal is to rise to power and dominate the world. Blending elements from idle games, simulator games, and tycoon games, Idle Cult Empire offers a dark and engaging take on building games and long-term simulation games.
In Idle Cult Empire, you begin as a small cult leader with a limited following. Your mission is to recruit new members, perform rituals, and unlock forbidden knowledge to grow your influence. Manage resources, automate processes, and transform your cult into a thriving business empire. With clicker mechanics and support for offline idle games, progress continues even when you’re away.
As your empire grows, you’ll make strategic decisions involving money games, expansion systems, and resource management. Control large groups of followers through strategic mob control, operate secret facilities that resemble a controlled prison, and expand into multiple locations. Dig beneath the surface using mining games, idle miner, and digging games mechanics to uncover rare materials and fuel your rise to supremacy.
Idle Cult Empire combines idle progression with active choices. Conduct experiments, automate rituals, and unlock powerful upgrades as your influence spreads. Manage unusual areas like abandoned sites, forests, or a corrupted junkyard, and expand production chains inspired by lumber idle systems. With themes touching on cultist simulator, evil hunter, and demonized idle concepts, the game delivers a dark but playful atmosphere. Shape your followers’ destiny in a light god simulator style as you build a powerful empire.
Featuring atmospheric visuals, immersive sound effects, and steady progression, Idle Cult Empire keeps you engaged for hours. Expand across regions, unlock new abilities, and optimize every system to become a true top tycoon.

I got the game 3 days ago and have over 20 hours already 🙂↕️I absolutely love the story and most progression is perfect. I will say for the devs the dungeon orb system is a little slow. Since I unlocked the dungeon I’ve had so much gold but it takes hours to upgrade the loot. I need the stars to upgrade my managers so I keep opening orbs to get gear and in turn I get so much gold. Maybe make the items you sell cheaper or the progression cost more to balance it out and maybe ad a trader to trade gold for stars to upgrade managers. Also I’m not a coder so I have no idea how hard it would be to add it but if there was a way to name your cultist I think I would actually freak. Otherwise love it so much makes work go by pretty fast.

Fun until the update

I’d play this to pass time at my job and it was pretty fun, but the recent update has made it pretty hard to do certain things. For one thing, the board for the kraken is slowly filling with frogs that I’m having a hard time getting rid of. Even if I’m feeding them their “favorite foods”, it’s barely moving the bar and I have to merge things to a really high level just to get rid of them, but by then another frog has probably spawned from all the merging.The amount of the eyes you get after feeding the kraken is not enough to level things up. The level I’m at now is requiring over 900 of them and the kraken isn’t giving me enough to level up (1k - 4k per feeding).Not really a problem but definitely a suggestion, make it so you can open multiple orbs at once (like a 5, 10, 20 multiplier). I have hundreds and it’s taking forever to open them one by oneI still like playing the game, but maybe put a limit on the frog spawn rate, either reduce the amount of eyes needed for upgrade or increase the amount you get, and consider putting a multiplier for opening the orbs.

Pretty good. Really short

This was a fun experience. I really like the dungeon system, they recently reworked it. It’s pretty basic, but you fight stages and use orbs to open them for gear. You make orbs in the overworld, where you have a match board and buildings around it that produce resources and can be upgraded. Then you use those resources to progress chapters. It kinda has an element of NecroMerger mixed with fairly surface level mechanics that aren’t normally in a game like NecroMerger. It was but I think I beat it already? It feels short. My chapter progress is full and stopped at chapter 18. I hope the devs make updates and improve systems more. The dungeon system rework was really good. We need more like that!Side note, the cash shop has probably the worst value for what you get that I’ve ever seen. Things that are really to get have really high prices. It didn’t really make sense to me since I got to the last chapter fairly fast. I didn’t need to buy anything but I wish there was a way to remove the optional ads for 2x idle time rewards. It’s always weird when games has ads for rewards and don’t allow a permanent buy to skip ads and get the rewards.
Fun -- with some caveats

Downloaded this game as a way to pass time. It's fun. The concept is great and I liked the speed of progression at first. The animations and designs are simple, clean, and cute.So... regarding the missing star, there are two things.First. They change the merge board mechanics and items with each update, I suppose to balance it. I don't mind it, it made the 'cravings'/orders got easier and more reasonable to fulfill. This was a great change.However, as you progress, the frogs become VERY common... and it is IMPOSSIBLE to get rid of them. You could feed them a Lvl 8+ creature and it would only fill a sliver of the bar. It's at the point where frogs are 50% of my board and nothing fulfills them.Second: Progression. You can really fly through things at the beginning. As you get further, it can start taking *weeks* to get anywhere. Upgrades take longer to obtain enough currency for. It takes a long while to get good loot and defeat the enemies in the maze.I do have more positive feedback to add, though!The addition of a setting that lets you do multiple pulls for loot??? Phenomenal. Love that thing. Much less mind-numbing than clicking repeatedly. Thank you for that.I would love to see the camp followers scale relative to level. I burn through 5 of them crazy fast. That would be nice.Anyways... I like the game a lot enough to continue playing it daily. I very much appreciate the work that has clearly gone into it.
Bug Fixes and Improvements, thank you for playing Idle Cult Empire - Evil Tycoon!
