Released on October 8, Duelist: Idle Expedition is an automatic combat RPG developed by One Interactive Studio and published by Infini Fun. Focused on continuous progression, the game runs in a compact interface positioned above the computer's taskbar, allowing players to follow battles while working or studying. The title has also received Very Positive reviews on Steam, highlighting its combination of accessibility and strategic elements.


The combat system features seven primary classes that branch into 91 specialized roles, each with its own pixel art animations and abilities. This variety allows players to build teams around different tactical approaches, from traditional formations with characters specializing in defense, healing, and damage to groups focused entirely on mages or warriors. Battles take place automatically, while players select targets on the map and collect gold, equipment, materials, and reputation to strengthen their characters.


Progression also relies on an equipment system featuring more than 200 items and legendary sets exclusive to specific classes. With over 60 specialized sets and an enchanting system, the experience allows players to adjust attributes, compensate for team weaknesses, and develop specific strategies for each formation. This structure caters to both players who prefer to watch their characters grow without constant attention and those interested in optimizing every detail of their builds.


Camp management expands the experience beyond combat by introducing economic activities that directly contribute to the team's development. The tavern allows players to recruit new heroes, the blacksmith produces more powerful equipment, and the shop provides a way to sell surplus resources. These systems establish a progression loop in which materials gathered during battles fund facility upgrades, which in turn provide additional support for combat performance.


Map exploration introduces further objectives to the game's automatic progression, with regional opponents who can be defeated to recruit followers, learn combat styles, and unlock new content and facilities. The interface is designed to occupy minimal desktop space, allowing players to interact with the game without interrupting other activities. The game also supports 31 languages, including Portuguese, English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Russian, and Chinese, expanding its international reach.
