As a new game launched for only 2 years, AFK Arena is undoubtedly a successful one, as you can see that statistics on the two massive stores are both excellent.
AFK Arena updates once about 15 days. It seems that the game is not updating as frequent as the other games. However, we can see that each of its update contains a large number of new features. For example, on Dec. 30, 2021, a new version was released with several new features: first, a new hero was added; second, several new events were added; third, a new game mode called “Temporal Rift” was added; forth, two new skins for two heroes were added; fifth, difficulties of some game modes were improved; and more. And all those features are both complicated and important.
Premise: The game is set in an epic world filled with turmoil and war. And you can find different intelligent creatures with different civilizations living in this epic world. Diverse interests, limited resources, and different beliefs lead to the unceasing conflicts between different species.
Heros: There are more than 100 heroes for the players to collect, and the heroes are divided into 7 factions. Even though each hero is well designed with vivid beauty, there are still some rare heroes such as Celestials, Hypogeans, and Dimensionals, who are more difficult to collect. And each hero has his/her own unique abilities. Build up your own strategic formations, and you will find that different lineups of heroes will generate different fine plays. What’s more, players can find a series of hidden legends behind different heroes.
Gameplay: In the game, you can fight the ancient evil Hypogeans, challenge the King’s Tower, test yourself in Labyrinth, and fight other players in PVP Arena mode. It should be noted that AFK Arena is an “Away from Keyboard” game, battles will not stop even when you log off, and you can still get your rewards the next time when you come back.
