Heroic Legends is a free fantasy MMO where thousands of players grind professions, duel rivals, and band together in guilds to bring down colossal monsters. A beloved 2011 mobile game reborn, rebuilt by two brothers with the original creators' permission and the original hand-painted artwork. Create a Human, Troll, or Skeleton adventurer and work your way up from humble Baker to master Jeweler, earning gold and experience along the way. Spend your Bravery to duel other players, forge ever more powerful equipment, and learn spells to tip the odds. The heart of the game is the guild. Complete cooperative quests, march into guild wars that rage for up to a full day, and join monster battles where dozens of players chip away at a single shared health pool over days of fighting. Whether you check in for five minutes or settle in for an evening, there is always another legend to chase. WHAT YOU WILL DO - Work profession jobs from Baker to Jeweler, master them for rare rewards, and climb past 225 levels - Duel other players with Bravery, choosing between Aggress, Gash and Assail - Fight monster battles where dozens of heroes share one giant health pool, and your loot follows the damage you deal - Wage guild wars in three sizes, from a six hour skirmish to a full day of open warfare - Empower your equipment with runes at the forge - Raise a companion from an egg and grow them alongside your hero - Enter tournaments, learn spells, trade at the marketplace, and talk in live chat THREE RACES - Humans are balanced and forgiving - Skeletons regenerate Bravery faster, so they fight more often - Trolls earn more gold from everything they do A CLASSIC, REBUILT The original Heroic Legends launched in 2011 and built a devoted community before it went offline. Two brothers who grew up playing it rebuilt the game from the ground up on a modern foundation, with the permission of the original creators and the original artwork in hand. The revival keeps the spirit and look of the classic while adding new ideas for veterans and newcomers alike. Free to play. Playable in English, French and Japanese.

Luminariah is a semi-idle fantasy MMORPG you can play in short bursts or long sessions. Your character keeps fighting even after you close the app, so progress never stops. SEMI-IDLE, SERVER-SIDE COMBAT The moment you attack, the fight is live on the server. Lock your phone, switch characters, or close the app entirely and the battle keeps going. When you return, you collect what you earned while away, up to a 24-hour window. Your potions are the budget: every kill costs one, so progress is paced, not infinite. FOUR CLASSES Play a Warrior, Mage, Rogue, or Paladin. Each has nine skills plus a signature multiplier skill, its own playstyle, and its own gear path across four equipment tiers, from Common to Nightmare. GUILDS, RAIDS & CASTLE SIEGE Join a guild, fill the vault, and take on ten tiers of guild raids. Descend into Hades for eight-player dungeons and sixteen-player raids at level 50 and up. Fight for the crown in Castle Siege, a 72-hour guild-versus-guild war across six towers. TEN PROFESSIONS Fish, mine, smelt, gather herbs, cook, brew alchemy, craft keys, work as an Artificer, cut jewelry, and practice Occultation with grimoires and seals. Gather, craft, and supply your own gear and consumables. A REAL PLAYER ECONOMY Trade with other players on the Grand Bazaar with fixed-price listings and live auctions. Eight in-game currencies, deep crafting, and refinement, remorph, and reroll systems give every item a long upgrade path. PETS & PROGRESSION Manifest a spirit pet that grants passive stats and farms Soul Essence. Chase 40+ achievement categories and titles, rotating daily, weekly, and monthly challenges, quest scrolls, and selectable daily buffs. PVP Climb the ranked ladder with an ELO rating and spend PvP energy to prove your build against real opponents. CROSS-PLATFORM One account, one world. Luminariah runs on iPhone, iPad, and in the browser, and your character travels with you. A NOTE ON PURCHASES Luminariah is free to play. Diamonds and optional subscriptions are available as in-app purchases and can speed up progression, but the full game is playable without spending. Some purchases and in-game systems involve randomized rewards; the odds for every random mechanic are disclosed in-game before you commit and at luminariah.com/odds.
