Idle Heroes vs Merchant
Idle Heroes
Idle Heroes is a pretty well-fleshed out role-playing game despite being an idle-sort of RPG. Set in a beautiful fantasy world, you'll get to lead your band of heroes across the realm, from Sara Forest to the High Heavens, as you battle the forces of darkness. Now, the idle part of the gameplay is not the fact that you'll be constantly tapping on the screen to train your heroes or anything like that. Instead, you can train your heroes idly by setting them up for training sessions while you are away.Of course, that aside, the game has plenty more exciting features such as over 200 different heroes to collect and deploy in your team, tons of fun stuff to do, be it PvE or PvP, guilds and guild wars for you to engage in, as well as plenty of ways for you to upgrade your heroes' equipment.
In some way, many players may be misled to believe that Idle Heroes is simply a tapping game that is designed for the sort of players who'd like fidget spinners, but this game simply has so much more to offer. If you enjoy a casual RPG for those idle times at the bus or train station, for instance, you'd really like this game. Give it a try!
Merchant
Merchant is a fun little idle game that's designed to be played on the side, while you're doing something else on the computer. In the game, you'll need to hire heroes who you will then send out on adventures to gather crafting materials. The materials obtained can then be turned into numerous types of armor and weapons, which you can in turn equip on your heroes or sell them off for a tidy profit. There are two main ways for you to sell your goods - you can either put it up for sale in your shop or you can fulfill the orders of passing merchants and heroes.Although the game starts out as pretty fun, the progression in this game gradually becomes rather grindy after a while - imagine: sending the same hero on the same quest will require the same amount of clicks as sending the hero on a new quest or even sending a new hero. Some automation would be great here, especially considering that the game's an idle game.
So, despite the fun concept and gameplay, its progression can truly kill your interest in the game. That being said, if you just want a simple game to play as you watch Netflix or YouTube on your computer, Merchant might just be the kind of game for you!
