Incrempire 1.0.4

Incrempire frames its action around a simple premise: the player must help defend their kingdom from incoming hordes of monsters. There is no deep narrative beyond this defensive framing — the game's focus stays on the incremental gameplay loop, where each battle (won or lost) contributes to the player's growing strength across 25 levels and four distinct biomes.

Incrempire's core interaction is simple: players hover their cursor over incoming enemies to defeat them, earning money that funds a deep skill tree of unlockable spells and permanent stat boosts. Before each run, a chosen temporary blessing adds variation to that attempt. Losing a battle doesn't erase progress — it feeds into the player's long-term growth, encouraging repeated attempts. Later-game systems include a rune inventory with locking, bulk salvage, skill-type filtering, and stat rerolling, giving players finer control over their build as they push through the game's 25 levels and 4 biomes.

Start a run and choose a temporary blessing to shape how that particular battle will play out. Hover your cursor over incoming enemies as they approach to slay them and earn money. Spend earned money on the skill tree, choosing between unlocking new spells or permanently boosting your stats. Continue defending across the run, using the skill tree and blessing to adapt to escalating enemy difficulty. Manage your rune inventory as you progress — lock powerful runes to protect them and filter by skill type when reviewing options. Use the stat reroll feature to lock desired stats on a rune and reroll the rest into new possibilities. If you lose a run, carry your accumulated growth forward into your next attempt, since each defeat contributes to long-term progress. Progress through all 25 levels across the game's four biomes, unlocking achievements and tracking your results on Steam Leaderboards.

Incrempire's core combat interaction is mouse-driven rather than keyboard-based — players defeat enemies by hovering their cursor over them rather than using dedicated key inputs. The developer's official materials do not publish a separate keyboard shortcut list, so players should check the in-game settings menu for any additional control options.
