About

AILFE

Features
Read full description

Your Fighter does the fighting. You decide who he becomes. AILFE - FIGHTER is an auto battler: an idle fighting game where you create your brawler, send him into the arena, and he handles the rest on his own. No buttons to mash โ€” every duel is settled by what you built beforehand. THE ARENA A reserve of twelve fights that refills on its own. Every win levels your Fighter up and unlocks a random weapon, skill or pet. No two Fighters ever turn out quite alike. THE DAILY TOURNAMENT Every night a 32-Fighter bracket is drawn. Yours climbs it round by round, from 8am to 8pm. Drop by to see how far he got โ€” miss it and he forfeits his place. CLANS Join a clan or found your own. Together you hammer a raid boss: every hit counts, and the slots you win are the real prize. ASCENSION Seen it all? Have your Fighter reborn. He starts over at level 1 and keeps power that never fades. PUPILS Refer players: your pupils show up mid-fight to lend a hand. PETS Bear, wolf, panther โ€” they fight at your side. THREE MINUTES A DAY No grind, no timer to babysit. Start your fights, watch the brawl, your champion grows. Built for anyone who likes idle games, auto battlers and old-school arena RPGs. Free, no ads. No sign-up: you're playing in three seconds.
