About This Game

You saved the world. Now you just want to chop wood. But monsters don’t retire and neither can you.

Tired of Being the Hero is a story-rich, first-person dark fantasy RPG with a management twist. As a retired hero, you will protect your village not just with blade and spell, but by inspiring villagers to become heroes of their own. Train peasants into heroes, raise morale, and stand together against waves of monsters that refuse to let you fade into memory.

Experience Retirement

Lay down your sword. Chop wood, haul wagons, and try to live as a humble woodcutter. But a hero’s past doesn’t stay buried.

Level Up, Motivate and Teach New Skills to Your Villagers

Spend morale to increase villagers' levels, teach them new abilities, show them how to dodge, mentor them into competent heroes of their own and work together to survive the night.

Save Your Villagers From Deadly Attacks

Some enemies take joy in bullying your villagers, swinging with reckless abandon. Use your Savior powers to pull them to safety before the final blow lands. Villagers that die do not come back so save as many as you can if you're not too tired. 

Face What You Left Behind

Every few waves, something bigger comes. A golem, a death knight, an ancient magus. Will your training be enough?
