What Makes Almost a Hero – Idle Adventure Stand Out
Want the bravest, smartest, and deadliest heroes on your team? Tough luck. We have only gotten these unless idiots for you. But,do you have what it takes to help each Almost a Hero to become the true Heroes they were always meant to be?
In this idle RPG, assemble a team of Almost Heroes. Send them on adventures, into deadly dungeons, and seasonal challenges! Along the way, unlock more Hero Characters, new powerful Rings, Pets with fantastic abilities, and finally permanent Artifact upgrades to make your next run just that little bit less deadly for your Almost Heroes team.
ASSEMBLE – FIGHT – UPGRADE
17 absolute zeroes just waiting for you to help them become slightly good heroes. Assemble a team by choosing between your usual cannon fodder, a blacksmith dwarf, a pyromaniac, a blind wizard, a paper bagged bard, a thieving goblin, a cuddly granny, and even an angry tree! When the going gets tough, just restart your adventure by prestiging! We’re almost certain you will do better next time.
AFK BATTLES
Your team fights, dies, revives, and fights again even when you are away! Just come back when you feel like to reap their rewards. Eventually using upgraded Artifacts, you can also level them up automatically. After all, what would these Almost Heroes do without your strategic guidance?
UNLOCK GAMEPLAY MODES
Your Almost Heroes keep unlocking new game modes for you to send them on. While a few Heroes are battling epic bosses in the Adventure mode, test your strategic might in timed trials! There are also weekly Seasons with tough challenges for only the foolhardy. Thankfully, you can take pets like a sheep, an armadillo, and even a spectacularly dumb pigeon into battle.
CUSTOMIZE YOUR ALMOST HEROES
Even if your Almost Heroes don’t fight so well, they can at least look sharp while doing it! Choose from many Outfits for each hero. Upgrade their equipment to more epic versions. Give them trinkets that will help them suck a little less in battle.
Are you ready for this challenge? Your next medieval fantasy adventure awaits.
This Roleplaying game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
Hello DECA, we respect this game and we enjoy playing it a lot. But right now it feels a bit empty as if it has become quieter than before. Honestly, we regret that you bought it from Bee Square. If you had supported Bee Square instead, it would have been much better because updates used to come more often, and the game felt alive. What did you do? You added a few heroes and thats it? But thats not enough. Our advice, please listen: if you need money, dont abandon this game. It means so much to us.
Game is pretty awesome. Reminiscent of old school mmos, one can enjoy the solo play as well as have space and time to think. Love that its not a needing attended game. Also game grants many rewards so not pay to win.
Id like the game because it has good graphics and gameplay and the music and the power ups and level ups. Its really nice. Keep it up.
Relaxing, fun, idle game. Normal idle games get boring but this one doe not.
Love this game been playing it for a week now and havent got bored its so much fun.
We like the game but we feel as no updates are coming the last one was over a year ago.
Obviously, we like the game, but we doubt theres gonna be any more updates or seasons, cause we just reached seasons, but it says theyre not available.
Honestly we never leave reviews for things cause nothing is ever that amazing. But this game, we have been playing it literally since day one unfortunately we dont have our old account we were able to proceed past what we had originally. This game has it all, its got the laziness for when you just want to be op and see your favorite almost heroes get stronger and cooler with their skins and the different ways you can set up your play style. It feels rich also, like in reality the mechanics and game play are super simplistic but they feel like they are so much more. Ive gotten to stage 1200 so far and each time we prestige we get even higher and we love it cause you really dont have to pay to get there. Just enjoy the game and have fun and youll be there in no time, sure it may take a minute but its super worth it. However we do invest some money into but thats really just because its our favorite APP all around and we want the creators to continue and make it grow so we do what we can to support them. So yeah if you dont have the game we recommend at least trying it seriously is a lot of fun and extremely worth it! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PEEPS.
Stuck on using spirits since the game wont acknowledge we passed level 125. A software update messed up our phone, but a reinstall had made game start fresh. No saved games in iCloud and Apple wont refund us. Just a scam all around. Loved playing, though. The character background lore was our favorite.
Always fun to play this game in our free time.
Not sure what is point of the game. Just non-stop tapping.
We play incremental/idle games in our spare time, and this one is pretty good. The art is cartoony, but has a real sense of character. The different heroes you can use and their different forms are usually interesting and easy to tell-apart at a glance. Different game modes make good use of the increasing complexity of different game systems (heroes, gear, artifacts, pets, etc). One of the better-made idle games, JUST for the game. Eventually got tired of the heavy focus on micro transactions. There are rarely gates to progress that are explicitly monetary, but the focus on micros for progress, and extensive use of ads get tiring. The last straw for us was the pop-up that summarizes what you got while the game was offline. Lots of games give an option to get more offline-gold/exp if you watch an ad, but this one has one of the worst fat finger buttons Ive ever seen. The button to close without watching an ad is 5-times smaller, and overlapping the Watch ad button, and we cant tell you how many times we restarted the whole app just to avoid watching an ad caused by this feature. Would by 4-star, but thats annoying. Uninstalled.
It seemed like a fun game but without any updates we dont want to spend time on it.
The game is fun, Ive played it multiple times throughout the years. But dont trust their micro transaction deals. We had one pop up and tell us it was on sale for 1.99 so we bought it. But it charged us 14.42. Its also not the first time its happened with this game. So we wont be buying anymore of their micros transactions and we suggest you do the same.
Truly one of the great endless/idle games until they sold to DECA. Now its basically EoS, with no real events or updates and only limited support. Its a real shame because this was such a gem.
This game has been one of our favorites since some of the most earliest updates that it was ever made in. We know that there are a LOT of other games like this one but we think this one is different than the rest. The developers of this game are pure geniuses.
This game is good but there is a typo in useless and said unless and it annoys us.
We played the game before with our android phone, but then the phone was broken and now we're using Iphone which makes us unable to access our previous account, we wish you could make it possible to transfer our android data to our ios. Many thanks.
Any progress, even slower is better than none stuck for last 6 months even using all the bells and whistles Hard disagree that EVERY time we have to use all the everything EVERY time and THEN that is not enough Was fun for the first month- will give ya that.
Game was fun until it got to the trinkets portion of the game now all it does is freeze and is unplayable. Awesome fix the bug.
We did enjoy playing the game. The only downside we had was that the game would often freeze or even crash once or twice.
All we Gotta say this game was our childhood and we still love it. Im so glad we just remember it and found it.
We love this game but after getting an iPhone we found out we couldnt transfer accounts.
We wish the game had a way to pay to get rid of ads. Good game otherwise, much better than most the trash out there.
Game is still fun despite being 9 years old. You guys are absolute legends.
We recently started this game and when we play the game we get past the tutorial, but when we close the app or be inactive on the game. It resets all our progress and we have no idea why.
Love this game!! Ive literally been playing since it came out years ago. However, had to lower our review score because the game has been crashing on iOS 15 for several months now. In Adventure, once you get into higher levels it only works for a few minutes before crashing and when loaded back up progress has been reset. Please fix this.
We had to restart but we are already at that point in two weeks love it.
We enjoy this game. Some things leave a bit to be desired though. Still, we think everyone should check this out.
The game keeps crashing most times we log in after it has been a while since we were on, there is a bar and bubbles at the bottom of our screen and a dragon logo, coins, and an exit button at the top. It looks like parts of a screen from a time challenge. When we try to press on things it just crashes and we have to exit the app. We are also forced to watch an ad whenever we log into the game for 2x rewards, there is no option to not watch the ad and we cannot get to the game otherwise. Please fix this soon.
Issue with our game crashing and being unable to move past the loading screen was fixed recently.
We have plying this game for like a week and have even spent a little money on it, tonight we closed the game and then reopened it because the little dragon was stuck in place and then our progress was gone. Instantly uninstalled.
Ive been keeping up with this game for a few years now, and just logged back on after Id say a 8-10 month hiatus, and the old lady that is supposed to tell us about spirits has broken our game. We go to upgrade our tunes, nothing there, we try to back out of it and she makes us go back again and again. Cant go to the main menu, she follows us there too and its all just glitched. We really dont want to restart because Ive made it to around wave 1600, please help developers.
Just wish there was more characters to choose from.
Responsive and satisfying, a fun game.
Wonderful game. The simplicity of it is actually what we think makes it a good game to play in spare time. However the problem in the merchant section when you make a purchase then the token counter drops to zero might need to be fixed.
This game had a gamebreaking bug around the thanksgiving update and was unplayable for over a month. The dev teams response was that they would get to it after the holidays. Over a month of losing out on progression, they finally fix it and throw a laughable one days compensation at you and call it even. Our game still regularly crashes during all game modes. It wouldnt be a bad game if they gave a crap about it.
We've played this game for years. The community, the developers, the art, all of it is excellent. You truly do not have to pay a dime to get the endgame content. We occasionally spend money just to support them because of how much we enjoy the game. Our only unknown is that we used to have an account extremely far along on Android, we're not sure if they do transfers to iOS. That would be icing on top if they did. Truly 10/10.
Seriously give us what we payed for.
Game crashes and mentions something about pets which we havent unlocked. Reloading brings up the same bug, app cannot stay open for more than 5 seconds.
Honestly its just a charming clicker game.
Alright so for one the game is great we like it a lot but there are some problems that it has that kinda makes it worse. It wont stop crashing for no reason whatsoever it just crashes we have no clue why but every time we open it not even 20 minutes later it will crash along with that items bought from the token shop sometimes wont work because of the crash if we are doing a challenge and get a time freeze item from the token shop and our game crashes a minute later it will undo everything we did within that past minute except buying the item although the item is not active when it was supposed to be and it makes it frustrating when you are on a gogs or time challenges since it saves the purchase of the item but not the activation. We would love to see this possibly get fixed if this is a problem with the game itself and not just within our system and its compatibly with the game.
One of our favorite games but our game crashes SOOOO MUCH we have to to its newest update and we have an iPhone 12 why is its crashing so often.
Overall, its a great game to play for a long time. Challenging, but not exceedingly difficult. Definitely will keep you entertained. Our only complaint is that it occasionally crashes and sets you back like 15-20 seconds so you have to redo upgrades and such.
We logged in after a long long time and it puts us into an endless loop of dialogue cuz we dont have something.
We had a new ring before the update, got pretty far in the game, and this ring didnt have any runes yet unlocked and the spirit update tutorial wont let us get out of the loop of trying to update runes we dont have and transferring us to the shop but then failing so goes pack to try to update the same ring with again no rune. Very frustrated. It was the purple ring been playing for a while and now its not even play able. Im not even sure how to reset it and we dont want to we worked so hard and spent so long on it. Loved this game in the past but cant do anything now.
Its better than tap titans because its old and this game is new and like it from Dominic Burks.
We got a 10$ bundle and we didn't get the gems or tokens : (.
One of the most fun idle games Ive played, feels very interactive and you can play as much or as little as you want and still progress significantly. Also a fantastic team working on it, we had noticed a minor bug and e-mailed support. They responded very promptly and kindly, relaying that they would be fixing it with the following patch. Overall a great game with a fantastic team actively working on it and listening to feedback, highly recommended for everyone.
We love this game. It is very fun to play and keeps you engaged. On an iPhone 11 full updated to iOS 14.6 our game is constantly crashing and losing save data. Probably crashes every 5-10 mins of having it open. And every time you crash you go back a few stages. Very frustrating experience. We hope this gets fixed so we can enjoy the game. It deserves 5 stars if and only if the game doesnt crash.
