First of all, AFK Arena is an idle turn-based game developed by LilithGames, which ranks among the top in the best-selling games in various countries. Similar to other games of the same type, the core gameplay loop of AFK Arena is to earn rewards through battles to upgrade your lineup. Basically, all games on the market that focus on the card-drawing mechanism have applied this mechanism, and the difference in AFK Arena is that it uses automation to make the fighting more like an idle feel.

Next, the combat of AFK Arena is very simple, requiring few input commands, which is automatic and fast. All heroes attack automatically, and the only time the player needs to click is to launch a special skill. If you don’t feel like clicking, you can also turn on the auto mode to make it completely automatic. The game indeed very casual, which sets it apart from some other input-heavy RPGs. What’s more, the strategy of the game focus on your hero composition and builds rather than the timing of operations, making AFK Arena great for playing while you’re doing other things.

From what has been discussed above, this game is worth a try. The diverse and closely connected game modes are a highlight of AFK Arena’s design, allowing players to feel their progress in the game from multiple angles. The progress of the game is very fast at the beginning, and later it will gradually guide players to explore other ways to play.

The game is easy to understand but hard to master.

The idle RPG system of AFK Arena looks very simple. Only heroes can get upgrades, upgrades, equipment and enhancements, etc., but it still has a certain degree of difficulty. As the player advances to unlock, the game also adopts a staged goal method, which guarantees the player’s experience to a certain extent. At the same time, there are also mutual influences between the three. Basically all idle RPG system in the game has a clear and predictable pursuit path. Designated heroes can be exchanged through points, upgrade materials can be waited through time, and top-quality equipment can also be purchased with resources.
