Discover more of the AFK Arena universe in sequel AFK Journey, where you’ll find a new style of gameplay, gorgeous high fantasy visuals and a lore-laden storyline. There’s so much to see in the land of Esperia, and every time we step away form the game, we know we’ll come back to already stronger heroes.

We knew we loved it when: We saw how expansive this idle game’s open world is. There are treasure chests, puzzles and even choice fishing spots strewn all across Esperia. You can even interact with other players you encounter during your exploration.

Our favourite moment: When we found that right mix of characters to maximise our fighting power. Knights and elves can fight alongside demons and beasts here. So before facing a boss, take a look at which heroes (or villains) can best counter your enemy’s skillset.

The biggest surprise: Where do we begin? Every dungeon packs a new challenge. Your heroes may get stuck in a minefield or be separated by unclimbable walls – and you won’t know what you’ll face until you actually start playing!
