Want the bravest, smartest, and deadliest heroes on your team? Tough luck. We have only gotten these unless idiots for you. But,do you have what it takes to help each Almost a Hero to become the true Heroes they were always meant to be?
In this idle RPG, assemble a team of Almost Heroes. Send them on adventures, into deadly dungeons, and seasonal challenges! Along the way, unlock more Hero Characters, new powerful Rings, Pets with fantastic abilities, and finally permanent Artifact upgrades to make your next run just that little bit less deadly for your Almost Heroes team.
*** ASSEMBLE - FIGHT - UPGRADE ***
17 absolute zeroes just waiting for you to help them become slightly good heroes. Assemble a team by choosing between your usual cannon fodder, a blacksmith dwarf, a pyromaniac, a blind wizard, a paper bagged bard, a thieving goblin, a cuddly granny, and even an angry tree! When the going gets tough, just restart your adventure by prestiging! We’re almost certain you will do better next time.
*** AFK BATTLES ***
Your team fights, dies, revives, and fights again even when you are away! Just come back when you feel like to reap their rewards. Eventually using upgraded Artifacts, you can also level them up automatically. After all, what would these Almost Heroes do without your strategic guidance?
*** UNLOCK GAMEPLAY MODES ***
Your Almost Heroes keep unlocking new game modes for you to send them on. While a few Heroes are battling epic bosses in the Adventure mode, test your strategic might in timed trials! There are also weekly Seasons with tough challenges for only the foolhardy. Thankfully, you can take pets like a sheep, an armadillo, and even a spectacularly dumb pigeon into battle.
*** CUSTOMIZE YOUR ALMOST HEROES ***
Even if your Almost Heroes don’t fight so well, they can at least look sharp while doing it! Choose from many Outfits for each hero. Upgrade their equipment to more epic versions. Give them trinkets that will help them suck a little less in battle.
Are you ready for this challenge? Your next medieval fantasy adventure awaits.
