Close the game. Your hero keeps fighting. That Time I Got Stronger by Going AFK is an idle turn-based RPG that does not ask you to stare at it. Battles run themselves and rewards pile up while you are away — your job is to make good decisions in the few minutes you spend back in the game: equip something better, smelt the spares, decide which stage to push next. ■ Idle progress that actually progresses Auto-battle, auto-loot. Up to 24 hours of offline EXP, gold and materials, claimed in one tap when you return. Boss attempts recover over time, so there is nothing to log in for on a schedule. ■ Gear is the game — affixes are the point Five rarities (White, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange), and rarity literally means how many sub-affixes an item has. Star up to add an affix, recast to redistribute the numbers, reroll to change which stats they use. One good item can carry you a long way. Do not throw the spares away — smelt them into shards and pour those into the piece you actually want. ■ Alchemy workshop and villager orders Three processes — Blend, Distill, Calcine — and 79 potion recipes. Deliver potions to the sixteen villagers for diamonds and gold. Each of them has their own voice and their own reasons for asking. ■ Blacksmith Forge your own gear through a five-step minigame — heat, strike, sparks, quench, engrave — testing your eye, timing, reflexes, control and memory. The better you do, the bigger the affix bonus (up to +15). Smith level sets what you can forge; skill points are scarce, so choose. ■ Build your own turn order Draw skill cards, fuse them into higher tiers, then spend cards to level skills up. Three skills plus Basic Attack, in whatever order you decide. ■ Arena An asynchronous ladder. Beat someone ranked above you and take their place. Spend honor on titles that sit on your nameplate. ■ 20 maps, 200 stages From the Grassland all the way to Void's End. Stuck? Drop back and farm an old boss for crystals, or go brew potions for diamonds — there is no dead end where all you can do is wait. ---------- · Free to play, with optional in-app purchases · Some content (gear drops, skill card draws) is randomised — please note this before purchasing · Please play in moderation · Privacy Policy: https://rpg.flowtbl.com/privacy · Terms of Service: https://rpg.flowtbl.com/terms · Account Deletion: https://rpg.flowtbl.com/account-delete ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Gems 300 | $0.99 | one-time | | Gems 5900 | $14.99 | one-time | | Gems 1650 | $4.99 | one-time | | Gems 13000 | $29.99 | one-time | | Boss Tickets x5 | $1.99 | one-time | ## Is AFK safe?
