“在这个挂机类游戏层出不穷的时代,只能说养宠物已经是见怪不怪了,但是在桌面玩RPG游戏的你见过没?你现在就见到了,这款《Desktop Heroes》就是这类型的挂机游戏,有着很多人最喜欢的像素风。在这个游戏中你需要组建一直属于你的英雄团队,让他们帮你打怪收集宝物,你忙的时候可以不用管他们,闲下来的时候可以看他们打怪,最重要的是游戏有特别保护模式,这下可以在上班时间安心摸鱼了!”

About This Game

Your epic adventure begins... at the bottom of your screen (BoYS).

Desktop Heroes is a unique idle RPG designed to be your faithful companion while you work. Set just above your taskbar, this unobtrusive game runs in the background, letting you build a team of courageous heroes, battle monstrous foes, and collect loot; all without disrupting your productivity.

A Fantasy World on Your Desktop

As you type emails, write code, or browse spreadsheets, your party of four customizable heroes embarks on quests, defeats enemies, and gathers treasures in real-time. Watch your hero grow stronger while you focus on your daily tasks, or jump in to support when you're ready for a quick break.

Features:

  • 🧙‍♂️ Four Iconic Classes: Lead a balanced party of a spell-slinging Wizard, a sword-wielding Warrior, a precise Hunter, and a stealthy Assassin.

  • Idle Gameplay, Active Rewards: Play passively or jump in anytime to claim rewards, upgrade gear, and make strategic decisions.

  • 💼 Work-Friendly Design: Runs quietly at the bottom of your screen. No pop-ups, no distractions... just progress.

  • 🗺️ Expanding Adventures: Unlock new regions, fight powerful bosses, and uncover secrets, even while answering emails.

  • 🎨 Charming Pixel Art Style: A light and appealing visual design that complements your workspace, not competes with it.

Whether you're grinding through your to-do list or taking a five-minute coffee break, Desktop Heroes keeps the adventure going, one pixel-sized battle at a time.

Unique Features:

  • Thanks to Desktop Heroes' special Protect Mode, even if you share your entire screen during a meeting while playing a game, the people on the other end won't be able to see that you're playing. 😉

  • With Virtual Mode, if you need to click on an area behind the game at the bottom of your screen, you can continue working without having to close the game. And it's easy to read text behind the game or click on something!
