Getting started in Scythe Simulator

Overview

The gist of Scythe Simulator is simple: repeatedly click your left mouse button and watch your strength levels go higher. Upon reaching 100 strength, the Dummies area will open up, allowing you to double your strength gain per click. This marks the completion of the first of many milestones in the game.

The game is divided into many strength goals, reflected in the progress bar at the top of the screen. Upon reaching certain thresholds, your scythe will receive a power boost that multiplies your strength gain as well.

As you continue playing the game, you will receive rewards in the form of Daily bonuses and playtime bonuses. Both will give you various freebies, such as free strength, gems, pets, and more. With gems, you can roll even more pets, which can amplify your strength increments.

Once your strength is high enough, you can undergo Rebirth, resetting your levels but giving you a strength gain rate bonus and gems. With that, you can continue to play through the game to unlock new areas and explore a whole new world of strength.

If your power level is high enough, you can even be the King of the Hill and rank highly on the global leaderboard.

Gameplay Mechanics

Strength Gain: Using the left mouse button, swing your scythe and gain 1 strength level. This can be amplified at the dedicated training areas, called Dummies, Graveyard, and Reaper Kingdom. Each offers a different multiplier and requires you to raise your strength level to 100, 2.5 million, and 2.5 billion, respectively.
PvP: The game features light PvP elements, where players can attack each other and fight it out based on their power level. The person who can click faster will likely win. If the difference in power levels is high, the stronger player will be able to kill the weaker one instantly, sending them back to the safe zone.
Auto Mode: Set your scythe to swing automatically using the Auto button above the scythe icon. Using this feature, you can continue to increase your strength levels even while AFK. That said, this does not make you immune to other players’ attacks, which limits its usefulness to the dedicated safe zone.
Pets: Pets add a multiplier to strength gain, making them an essential part of the gameplay loop. They can be purchased using Gems, the game’s primary currency, or Robux. Also, obtain exclusive pets by completing Quests and claiming Daily and playtime rewards.
Quests: Quests are missions that can be completed for various rewards. These are typically simple, requiring you to play the game for some time and kill other players. Claim rare pets by finishing missions every day. Note that if you leave the game mid-mission, your progress will be reset, requiring a do-over.
Rebirth: Reaching 100,000 strength will allow you to undergo Rebirth for the first time. This gives you a 100% increase in power gain and 150 gems. Every subsequent Rebirth has a higher level requirement and gives better rewards, incentivizing going through the process multiple times. Once you Rebirth 25 times, you will be able to access the new City World area.
