AFK Arena

Hello. First off, I would like to say that this game is probably one of the best of its kind. There are many things to do within the game, you almost never get bored. I have been playing for a month now, probably the longest I’ve ever played a game like this, considering I get bored of the games, or get stuck and forced to spend money. I’m actually thinking of buying a couple skins, just to support the developers. I love how there are automatic battles, so you aren’t constantly clicking on characters making them battle and stuff like that. The way the battles are, you only have to worry about two things, formation and sometimes, luck. I’ve heard people say that lab is too hard, so if you are reading this first off look in the chat, higher level people will sometimes be asking for friends, friend them and apply for mercenaries. Also, always do the battles with higher combat ratings. That way you can build up your rating and make the battles easier. Sorry for the quick rant(?) about lab, just thought I’d throw my method out there. Another thing I really enjoy about this game is the chat and community. Yes, some chat channels do get inappropriate, but the one I recently moved to is very quiet, and most of the time are only advertising their guild, or roleplaying. The reason I like community is because I can ask questions and even use the search engine if I want a specific answer about an event going on or something of the sort. That about wraps it up for my review, overall 9.8/10, would definitely recommend to friends.

The game isn’t too bad. It’s refreshing to play a game with littler effort for materials/exp/money when all you have to do is just collect it after a set time. Wake up in the morning and collect my afk rewards. Go to work, maybe it’s kinda slow, collect my rewards that've been built up. It’s really easy honestly. I’m not big on PvP so I can’t comment on that, but for pve it’s not bad either. There is a grind to get your characters leveled up to be able to continue the main story as well as dungeons that pop weekly, but the grind isn’t bad unlike other games. Most of the grinding is just waiting tbh. There is a cash shop as with all f2p games and yes, it does give you an edge with certain characters you can purchase or materials you can grab instead of waiting, but some of the best characters in the game are acquired by the RNG gods without money. I read there are trials that you can complete after the story that reward you with high tier stuff as well as special items and furniture sets that increase your characters attributes, but I haven’t gotten that far yet. I can see the amount of hours people dump into the game, but I really only play when I’m bored or waiting for something. All in all, not a bad game. My wife and I both play and remind each other to collect our dailies so we can keep trucking along in the game. I’d say 8/10. Artwork is really well done. Animations are cute. Battles aren’t too complex (but can be later on depending on positioning and “this defeats that but is weak to this” kinda play)

A very pretty hero-collector game with lovely art and a few unique twists. Rather than building a large stable of leveled heroes, your early game should focus on building just a handful of strong heroes. Why? Because Hero EXP is one of the most annoyingly difficult resources to obtain in the game. You can acquire it most easily by progressing through the main campaign and waiting for the AFK mechanics to stock your treasure chest, but that’s about it. In the main campaign you will hit that leveling wall FAST and then it becomes a waiting game while the AFK mechanics farm Hero EXP for you. FORTUNATELY, there are some really great things about this game that help ease the pain: 1) Top-tier heroes are available to purchase with easily-obtainable Labyrinth points and/or by doing simple tasks like sharing on social media; 2) A “restore” function lets you reset a hero to level 1 and reclaim all the resources you spent on them in case a better hero comes along; 3) The “resonator” allows you to SHARE YOUR HERO LEVELS so that if you have at least five leveled heroes, you can “resonate” the level of your heroes with other heroes in your collection, and 4) The games’ built-in forums are full of friendly people who make starter guides, F2P guides, and answer newbie questions. As with many similar games, the monetization is there at every turn, but it’s not nearly as in-your-face as some other games (*cough*Three*Kingdoms*cough*). There seems to be a dedicated F2P player base and I am thoroughly enjoying my F2P experience so far.
