Recursive is a recursive incremental game about helping your kingdom survive by building yourself into something unstoppable. You start by clicking enemies for XP, then you turn that into upgrades that unlock more systems, more currencies, and more ways to scale.
Unlock towns with their own minigames and progression, route their output back into your build, and keep feeding everything into your knights growing power. The loop is the point: every system exists to strengthen another.

And so much more!
