Overview

Clicker Heroes is a clicker/idle game developed by and published by for multiple platforms.

Gameplay

Clicker Heroes combines many popular gameplay tropes into a single free-to-play game. These mechanics include:

  • a purchasable resource granting immediate advancement (can be farmed very slowly for free)
  • level grinding and different leveling paths (clicking vs. idling)
  • "restarting the game" while retaining some power ups
  • advancement through typical game worlds (forest, desert, mountain, lava etc.)
  • active skills with cooldown timers
  • achievements that give bonuses

The theme of the game is a mixture of Western and Japanese RPG influences, satirizing the nature of these games, but also celebrating the absurdity of grinding, leveling up and free-to-play gameplay. While more involved and more serious, the game and its title are reminiscent of Cow Clicker. This is especially emphasized through semi-automatic farming modes that allow the game to advance with little to no player input.
