Idle Slayer is an incremental game blending idle and active gameplay, where you earn souls through a mix of passive gains and active bow-shooting mechanics. The medieval pixel art and chiptune audio provide retro atmosphere, though player feedback suggests the active playstyle requirements are more prominent than the idle component. Best suited for incremental fans who don't mind engaging regularly rather than leaving the game running untended.

Idle Slayer has slain it's IDLE component. Mission Accomplished!
Why? The dev decided that he didn't like people idling in his allegedly idle game, so he's changed that.
How? By removing the ability to disable certain things.
Why does this matter? You have to use the bow to get any kind of decent quantities of souls, the idle currency. You need to jump to shoot the bow. When you jump, you may hit a box that may warp you out of the main game and into one of several other minigames. If you jump often enough, you'll hit one because they follow you. So, you can no longer set an autoclicker to help you with the onerous task of jumping and shooting constantly. Because people weren't playing his game the way he wanted you to play it. It was a fun little idle game, but my hand issues have rendered this unplayable now that it's a clicker. This should probably be renamed to Active Clicker Slayer or something along those lines, because Idle Slayer is a very misleading title.
Paid for it, then it it became free the next day. I got it because I thought of what a paid idle game would be like without micro transactions and what they would do with that. Yea, guess not. Oh, but I can't refund it because the purchase includes 'consumable items' which didn't exist when I paid for it, and I didn't get anything in the game. The kicker is that its just a regular idle game.
So, when devs steal my money, I'm not apt to give them a positive review. So I might be a little bias in giving this a negative review.
