## What is Gear for Heroes?

To build an empire, you need an army. To field an army, you need weapons and armour. To craft weapons and armour, you need blacksmiths. And to supervise the smiths, we need you.

Train and hire blacksmiths so we can equip our warriors with the best weapons we can craft. As you improve your idle forge, our troops will get epic gear to put in their inventory slots - new armour for health, new swords for attack, new staves for magic.

Is this an RPG? Is this strategy? Is it idle? All three at the same time. Raise your empire by equipping your soldiers, and let them train and raise health while you’re afk. Your blacksmiths will work tirelessly to equip the hero and warriors with epic loot so they can go on mighty quests to forge empires.

Tap to upgrade your smiths and produce better magic gear. Your army will start winning even when you idle and start defeating enemies, and collecting loot. With this loot, you can craft epic swords, bows and axes to unlock better troops and win the war while you afk heroes.


Heroes live and die, but their weapons are eternal. Make the best gear for heroes.

### 5/5 — A good game

*2022-07-18*

I like this game very much . The gameplay and the the graphics are decent . I can play it for hours without getting bored . Keep it up 👌👌👍👍

### 3/5 — Alright

*2021-03-29, version 1.0.6*

Pretty easy game. Pay for no ads or be bombarded. Takes a few hours but you’ll reach the end. Hasn’t been updated in a year +.

### 1/5 — Looks fun, but can’t play

*2021-02-10, version 1.0.6*

Looks fun and all, but it kicks me out, when ever I try getting in.

### 2/5 — Clipboard Copier

*2020-11-26, version 1.0.6*

This is a decent game, but it’s a shame that it has to invade personal privacy. With the new iPhone update, we can now see which apps paste from our clipboards saved on our phone. This one does it every time you open the app, even when swiping out and back in. Never do banking or anything related to account information or personal location when using this app. It can be potentially harmful and lead to issues. Luckily I only had a YouTube video, so to whoever sees a link for “How your mailbox is plotting against you,” I hope it does.

Hopefully devs see this and can implement changes so that this does not happen in the future.

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for no ads

*2020-11-19, version 1.0.6*

The game itself is pretty good, but when I pay for no ads and still get ads you get one star.

### 1/5 — Kann es nicht öffnen

*2020-08-24*

Wenn ich versuche, das Spiel zu öffnen, bekomme ich den Bildschirm mit den Herstellern angezeigt, dann Blackscreen und dann crasht das Spiel und ich komme auf den Homebildschirm zurück!
Bitte um Support!

### 1/5 — Lies

*2020-06-30, version 1.0.6*

I bought the no ads upgrade but still keep getting prompt to see ads wth smh.

### 1/5 — Dev’s please respond to this

*2020-06-18, version 1.0.6*

This game looked really good and I thought I would like it, but it kept crashing right after the screen where it says the studios that made it.

### 1/5 — Nul

*2020-06-02*
