Heroes and Monsters is a free-to-play idle auto-battler where you buy stat upgrades and watch your character grow exponentially stronger while fighting. The core loop relies on rebirths and gem-based character progression to maintain engagement, though the current version offers minimal features and may feel repetitive once you grasp the underlying math. Best suited for players willing to stick with an early-access title that promises depth through future updates.

First of all, super cool that the game is 100% F2P no hidden cost, NOTHING to buy for €€€. Big plus and the first game of this kind i´ve seen on steam.

For the game itself, it is as other say really really idle. You click(buy) stats and number gets bigger. After playing for about 1 hour the game loop is pretty simple (if you figure out the math), which can be frustrating (not fun) > if more features are to come or iam missing something here sorry to the dev.
To clarify what i mean:
Optimal way to progress:
- Level your attack stat to always 1-shot mobs (cap but never raise your stat above 265 ATK > reason is you can prestige at lv 250 and if you do simple math > mobs get 2 hp per level > mobs will have 530 HP at lv 250 > so you can 2 shot them)
- Rest of your gold pump it into gold gain
This is the optimal way to generate gold in the game, if you do not 1-shot mobs you are loosing gold. Thats why we dont increase HP/HPregen because as soon as we don´t 1-shot mobs anymore we want to be instantly killed to start over.

Now for the last part, because at some point you will have to push. You have 265 ATK and save up gold, i would estimate here you need 800-1.5 mil (haven´t figured that out yet). You pamp everything into HP/HP-regen and voilá you should be able to push to lv 250 and prestige. (im close to prestiging > i pumped everything into hp/hp regen 2 early thats why im slower now > because im only 2-shotting mobs).

For crafting > im almost on tier 3, so far stats seem underwhelming, but me mindful im only in for an hour of gameplay. just push for crafting level and NEVER EVER buy resources with gems (you can increase gamespeed with 1k gems, don´t know by how much yet)


As for my recommendation:
Do i recommend it?
Yes....
Why?
Because its 100% f2p mot*******, boot it up test it out nothing to loose except your time, and if you are into idle games you will not care anymore. 0% not to recommend to at least try it out if your into idlers.

Will this be a game to keep you occupied for weeks/months?
100% not, game loop is way 2 simple and once its figured out it gets boring, i will keep playing and see what prestige is like, i will save up 1000 gems and see how fast the gameplay gets. I will prestige once and see how much more gems i get. But if this is it and all left is grinding to stage 1000 to beat some boss, im also out way before it.

TO THE DEV:::
i was able to figure this out after 30 minutes of gameplay, you´ve done an awesome job with the basegame and i love that its 100% f2p. Keep working on it, implement more features (maybe i haven´t discovered all of them yet > if yes sorry). The game is quite fun on the side.

The idea is also quite good, i think idle RPGs could be quite fun and if there is a good one i would gladly even pay money for it! Thank for the game and keep it up. Would urge you to work on better ui (the buttons are really ugly), the rest looks really good already! Aside from missing depth/balancing/features the basegame/idea is good!

This feels like a really really really really early alpha of something cool, but yeah i know your offering it for free. So no idea how far you gonna push it!

Anyway i wish you the best!

A bit too bare bones for my liking. Would be more interesting if there were achievements or something. I wouldn't recommend playing until more is done with it.

FINAL RATING: 4 / 10

This game is awesome! It's new, so there are a few bugs here and there, and it might not have much content for an idle game yet. However, I firmly believe that it has massive potential! The ability to rebirth and use gems to upgrade skills and characters in various ways makes it really enjoyable.

As the game continues to develop and more features are released, I'll keep updating my review. I can't wait to see what the developers have in store for us. This game has already captivated me, and I'm excited to see how it evolves over time!

A huge thank you to everyone who’s played the game! We’ve officially hit 10,000 total players, and honestly, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. When I first started working on this project, I had no idea where it would go or if anyone would even play it. I just knew I wanted to make something fun, something I’d enjoy myself — and to see so many of you jump in and enjoy it too has been amazing. This journey has been a massive learning experience for me. From design and development to balancing game play and listening to feedback — it’s been eye-opening in the best way. But more than anything, the biggest lesson I’ve learned is how important you, the players, are in shaping this game. Your support, feedback, and encouragement have played a huge role in getting it to where it is now. This has never felt like a solo project — it truly feels like something we’ve built together. So again, thank you all so much. Whether you’ve just started playing or you’ve been here from the beginning, I’m incredibly grateful. I hope the game has brought you some joy along this journey. Here’s to whatever comes next!
