Copperfell is a single-player RuneScape-like with 24 skills that is designed, in the developer’s own words, to respect your time. For this genre that is close to heresy.

It entered the chart at #50 in its release week.

Chart credential: entered the Steam 250 weekly chart as a new entry at #50, scoring 7.07 from 35 reviews at 97% positive. Released 28 October 2026 by Grandayy.

Key features

24 skills that do not take a year

Levelling unlocks new resources and abilities, and the developer states plainly that skills do not take excessive time and do not require high-intensity play to train efficiently.

The old-school MMO skill grind exists because subscription games needed retention. Lifting the structure into a one-off purchase removes that incentive entirely — and this is one of the few games in the lineage that actually acts on it rather than copying the grind out of nostalgia.

Drop rates that improve as you fail

Rare monster drop rates get better with every kill, so long unlucky streaks are prevented by design.

This is the single most player-respecting decision in the game. Pure random drop tables generate the horror stories that define this genre; a pity timer quietly removes them without removing the chase.

More than one way to train anything

You can settle into repetitive sessions if that is the appeal, or take orders that mix crafting, monster-slaying and travel for special rewards. Combat splits into melee, shooting and sorcery, with monsters carrying different weaknesses that reward switching gear.

What to expect

35 reviews at 97% in release week is a promising signal, not a verdict, and this is a $6.21 single-player take on a genre defined by its massive multiplayer worlds. Expect a game about progression systems rather than about other people.

Windows only, with partial controller support.
