Looking for 3D idle simulation games? Look no further than Clicker Heroes. This game combines the endless expansion of clicker games with the addictive progression of fantasy RPGs.
What is Clicker Heroes
Your journey begins in a lush jungle with a weak monster and your clicking finger. In Clicker Heroes, each click deals damage to the creatures on the screen. After being defeated, the monsters drop gold coins, which are the lifeblood of your adventure.
Instead of buying factories or ovens, you use gold to recruit a roster of legendary heroes. You start with Cid, the Good Adventurer (who increases damage when you click), but soon you'll recruit powerful allies like Treebeast, Ivan, the Drunken Fist, and Brittany, the Beach Princess. These heroes deal passive damage automatically (DPS), meaning they'll continue killing monsters even when you stop clicking.
Game Overview
- Developer: Playsaurus.
- Release Date: Summer 2014 (a pioneer of the modern idle RPG genre).
- Genre: Idle RPG / clicker progression.
- Core Mechanics: Increased Damage Per Second (DPS) and Hero Leveling.
While Cookie Clicker focuses on peaceful production and expanding your baking empire, Clicker Heroes is entirely focused on combat. You constantly traverse "Zones" and battle within a 30-second time limit to defeat gigantic bosses.
Professional Strategy: How to Overcome Boss Challenges
Every 5 zones, you'll encounter a boss. You only have 30 seconds to defeat it; otherwise, you'll fail and have to rework the previous zones. Use these strategies to overcome:
- Skill Upgrades: Heroes will unlock powerful active skills at levels 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100. Always upgrade your strongest heroes to these milestone levels to unlock massive damage multipliers.
- Skill Combinations: Save your active skills (like Clickstorm, Powersurge, and Lucky Strikes) for boss battles. Activating them all at once will obliterate even the toughest enemies in seconds.
- Ascension is key: Eventually, progress will slow down significantly. This is when you use the hero Amenhotep to "Ascend." You will restart the game, but you will receive Hero Souls. These souls provide a permanent boost to your overall DPS and allow you to summon ancient gods to make your next playthrough 100 times faster!
FAQs
Whether you're a new player or a veteran, the math in this game can be quite complex. Here are the answers to the most common questions players ask:
When should I level up for the first time?
For your first playthrough, you should aim to level up around Area 130 to 140. At this stage, defeating bosses will become extremely slow. Make sure you upgrade your hero as much as possible before leveling up to ensure you get at least 7 to 10 Hero Souls. These souls are crucial for your next playthrough!
Does Clicker Heroes autoplay when I close the tab?
Yes! The game features completely offline progress. If you close your browser or shut down your computer, your heroes will continue earning gold in the non-top boss areas you've unlocked.
Which heroes are best to upgrade in the early game?
Don't neglect your early heroes! When you upgrade Treebeast, Ivan, and Brittany to level 1000, they'll receive a 10x damage multiplier, and then a 4x multiplier for every 25 levels thereafter. They'll quickly become superior in damage to more expensive heroes later in the game.
