Almost a Hero is an RPG clicker where you join forces with a group of nine offbeat heroes on an epic adventure against thousands and thousands of enemies. Every time you touch your screen you shoot a bolt of lightning at the enemies. Meanwhile, your intrepid heroes attack automatically.
Gameplay in Almost a Hero is typical of its genre. For each enemy you defeat you receive a small number of coins, which you can use to increase the damage caused by your very own attacks as well as the damage inflicted by your heroes. Furthermore, at the beginning of the game, you only have one hero, so you need to gradually buy new heroes for your group of adventurers.
For every 10 enemy surges you defeat, you have to face a 'boss.' This kind of enemy tends to be much more resistant and makes things much more difficult for you, which is why you should save your characters' special powers for such moments.
Almost a Hero is an 'RPG clicker' with lovely visuals, which without being wholly original, offers an extremely addictive gameplay.
