Content & Replay Value
Melvor Idle is an Idle RPG game that was created by the same developers who created Runescape. It's a casual, relaxing and surprisingly enjoyable experience that is going to keep you up for hours. At this time of this review, I can say that I've got over 150+ hours of gameplay my time spent on my phone isn't recorded on Steam, but without a doubt, this game will probably be one of the top performers when it comes to hours spent.
Is it worth buying?
Yes. Although it comes at a price I'd normally not pay for a mobile or idle game, after considering a couple of times and trying it out, I got to the conclusion that it's worth it. I've spent well enough time to justify my spending idling and non-idling. I recommend getting this game directly through Steam as you can find it at a better price than on your mobile device and link your mobile with it afterwards.
Verdict: Very Good
Rating Chart Here
For an idle game this has been enjoyable to say the least and probably by far one of the best Idle games I've played or let's say idled in a while.
Melvor Idle is a feature-rich, idle/incremental game combining a distinctly familiar feel with a fresh gameplay experience. With over 20+ skills that you can craft/idle this game will keep you busy. In the game you also have a combat system, that is rather simple. All you have to do is equip a sword, bow or staff and fight your way through monsters.
⚔ Gameplay:
Rate: ★★★★☆
Melvor Idle has a rather simple, yet effective crafting and combat mechanic. Pick the profession or work you wish to do and see what the requirements are, and let the game just run. It's very simple and maybe sounds rather boring, but I am telling you, there's something about this game that makes it so much fun.
You can build your own way and there's no pressure whatsoever.

😄 Fun:
Rate: ★★★★☆
Although I can't say Idling is fun, it's something about this game that makes every moment spent interesting. I have had my moments of "AHA" with it when I figured out what I am supposed to do.
🏞 Visuals:
Rate: ★★★☆☆
Has a pleasant interface, but could do with some work on some areas. If you like minimalistic interface this game will satisfy that need.
I would personally like a fantasy art style but that would beat the whole UI and require adjustments.

🔊 Sound:
Rate: N/A
This game has no sound, so you can play or run it anywhere without having silly noises disrupt you. I like that.
📖 Story:
Rate: N/A
This is a Sandbox Idle game, so you make your own story however you like. It has no campaign, but a simple tutorial to follow.
🧵 Length:
🔲 Short
🔲 Average
🔲 Long
☑️ Unlimited
This is an idle game, so I don't think it has an end-goal, or at least I hope it doesn't. What I can tell you is that you're required to max out all your crafting and profession to level 99, which takes a while. Maybe then you can consider putting it down and if you wish start all over, but I don't see the point.
🧩 Difficulty:
☑️ Easy
☑️ Normal
☑️ Hard
🔲 Brutally Hard
🔲 Impossible
This game is rather easy to play. The only reason why it has so many difficulties is because of the combat. You have to get yourself a lot of money to support yourself with food in combat automatically, which you'll buy from the store. Until that happens it will be difficult to consider idle combating easy. You constantly have to keep an eye for your character so it won't die. If you die, you lose an item, which isn't much of a big deal.

⭕Conclusion:
Melvor is an excellent Idle game, that encapsulates the RPG very well. If you're looking for a nice and complex game, for your Steam and mobile, look no further.
This game is easy to follow up and playing it is as easy as pie.
