About

Yuusha Idle

Features
Read full description

Yuusha Idle is a pixel-art fantasy RPG that keeps playing after you close it. You build the hero; the hero does the fighting. Your class comes from the weapons you carry. Two daggers make an Assassin, sword and shield a Warrior, a scythe a Reaper, gauntlets a Brawler. There are 15 classes, and switching weapons switches the class without losing anything you've built. Each class spends its own resource. Wizards and the Paladin use mana. The Assassin, Archer, Rogue and Reaper use energy. The Warrior, Berserker, Knight, Guardian, Wanderer and Brawler build rage as they fight. You choose the gear, the talents and when each skill fires. After that the hero fights on its own, including up to 8 hours while the app is closed. There are nine zones, each with its own monsters and equipment. Mine, fish, gather herbs and cut wood for materials, then craft and forge in the village workshop. The Compendium lists every item you can craft, which recipes you are still missing and how to learn them. Trade with other players in the market, at a fixed price or by auction. The guild gives you contracts and rank exams. Raids put many heroes against a single boss, and your chance at its loot grows with your share of the damage. Every zone has a crypt beneath it: go in alone or let the group finder put a party together. The Abyss is a turn-based descent where you play monster cards against each foe and decide after every fight whether to go deeper or keep what you've won. Rebirth sends you back to level 1 with more power and opens new skill lines. Fill the Echo bar before you rebirth and you unlock a harder Echo of the world, with bigger rewards and rarer loot. Your account holds up to five heroes, and all of them fight, gather and earn at the same time. On phone and tablet, the home screen shows your hero and your adventure, with four sections for Hero, Village, Combat and Bag. No pay to win. The shop sells skins, frames and auras, plus extra hero slots and storage. Nothing you buy makes a hero stronger.
