Heroes of the Age of Day

This is literally my second run, hadnt been able to buy anything after the first run... i'm... impressed.

And then this happened:

Yeah my units just happened to get reaping and... now this monstrosity lives... honestly i dont know how i feel about reaping... like it's good because basically you get a tankier unit... but you're loosing out on the skills that your other unit had... honestly not a fan of it but oh well.

First of all: Very fun game! As far as autobattlers go this is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, aside from maybe more individual unit customization. Super super fun to play.

Second of all: Just grabbing the achievement from the light store didn't feel like enough of a victory to me, since I mostly just got my ass kicked until I had enough cash. I wanted to feel like I had actually 'beaten' the game even though it was endless, fortunately for me, I accidentally had this run;



Which I've decided to take as a 'win.' I just sort of hooked up a mage with some good items, got lucky with what traits the mage rolled at first, and quickly snowballed into insanity.

I enjoyed playing your game. Usually permadeath autobattlers feel bad, but the reverse side is that in Heroes of the Age of the Day, units gain permanent stat and trait increases every round, even if they're sitting on the bench.

After my 3rd attempt I understood the basics well enough and stopped accidentally combining units or purchasing items when I was trying to read!

I had enough DoL (long term currency) to buy a 2nd bench slot and the item unlock to get +5 range/damage/health.

I went all on on a hellhound with +5 range after it had assassin then purchased all tanks to keep him around. Satyrs/Wolfriders have nimble to guarantee tanking a few hits, while earth elementals w/ defender parked behind the carry hellhound kept him alive from opposing volleys/snipes/return fire.

Eventually you get so much gold and the store was so small I can could just keep selling units off so I could repurchase (refresh) 2 nimble wolfriders to tank the front and earth elementals as they died off. The hellhound eventually got every buff and was sitting at 130+ attack with cleave/snipe/assassin and 9 range so he just AoE'd down the opposing board every turn.

Got up to round 51 before I let the team die off. Had around 3100 DoL currency afterwards, so the scaling went a bit nuts there! I cleaned out the achievement store, so I guess I've beaten the beta :D

Nicely made, playable, simple mechanics but long term complexity and strategic depth is available. Visuals and audio match the theme.

Only bug I encountered was having to occasionally name a creature twice.

Thanks for making it :)

I believe I got to around round 40+, my setup hard carried the hell out of my run, unfortunately it froze :(.   I was planning on getting to round 50 before abandoning the run, as I was still needing to buy stuff from the Shop.  RIP

Great game though for real, there's so much more potential for it too, I hope to see more but if not it was fun regardless!

Nice game. :) 

Only could get strength up 84 :(

Fuck, I like your music from bandcamp.

Each update brings more interesting mechanics and has made the game more fun. The gameplay loop of trying to win battles and keep your units alive, making them more powerful is very addictive. it feels very satisfying to bring a lowly tier one unit to near godhood in destructive capability, only for them to be thwarted by the ever escalating difficulty. It masters the "one more round" feel that keeps you going.

Pretty cool game, I love the variety of units!

I get so sad when my units die :( 

But other than that it's a very good game to play while engrossed in an audiobook and/or obsessively listening to the news. 

I can't wait to get enough drops of light to win the Beta!
