Along the way, unlock more Hero Characters, tap away with 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. Find the right strategy to have nonstop fun in your action filled idle adventure.

*** ASSEMBLE - FIGHT - UPGRADE ***
17 absolute zeroes just waiting for you to help them become slightly good heroes.

Game is nice, funny, easy to play and evolve. Nice characters, reward and evolve system. Graphics and animations are also funny. It is just the game i needed at my workplace! I took 1* out because of syncing issues. For thosw who have issues with syncing between devices, just go to main menu, then back to adventure mode. Wait a few seconds and it should sync. Also you can go to settings and see how much time it passed since the last save. Also, turn off "stay awake" option.

this game is absolutely amazing. that a game like this even exists in this day and age. no limitations to play, grind whenever you want. you unlock all heroes and slots just by progressing. so much to do, so many ways to get beťter. soo many strats to choose from - this game has incredible depth once it opens up... and it opens up a lot. no pay to anything, you just don't need to. i felt obligated to buy stuff just to support the developers for making a game i enjoy soo much. holy cow. see for yourself!

I played it now for about two weeks and overall it's nice, but boring and becomes repetitive quite fast. I reached level 650, but there is nothing new since level 300, no new level backgrounds, no new enemy types, just the same over and over again. There is no meaningful goal to reach, no challenge to accomplish. It's a plain and simple time waster, a good looking one.

Hello and thanks for your review! At stage 700 you'll unlock Gates of Gog, a new game mode that takes place in an underground fortress with its own set of rules. We try to make it so you always unlock a new set of mechanics or a new character every few levels, and are working on more content for future updates.
