When I was in school I was obsessed with a mobile MMO called Heroic Legends. I emailed the developers and told them I wanted to make apps as good as theirs one day. Then the game slowly died, the way most of them do. Updates stopped around 2014.
A couple years ago I tracked them down and asked if I could bring it back. They said yes and gave me the original art. My brother and I rebuilt the whole thing from scratch, a group of original players beta tested it and shaped a lot of what's in it, and it launched last weekend.
It's a menu-based game. You pick jobs, attack people, run guilds, raise pets. You play for a couple minutes a few times a day to get your tasks done, and it's fine to put your phone down in between.
Gameplay:
- Monster battles. Players pile onto one boss for days. It hits back, the damage board is public, and they drop the best loot in the game.
- Guilds and wars. Your guild grinds quests together to earn boss keys, then declares war on another guild and spends a day hunting their members.
- Companions. Bosses drop shards, shards hatch a creature, and it grows with you and picks up talents. Bond it with someone else's and you get a spirit egg with a mix of both stats.
- PvP and tournaments. Anyone near your level is fair game. Tournaments are server-drafted eight-team brackets with large prize pools.
- Professions. The idle half. Work a trade while your energy refills, master tasks, and get paid in the premium currency without spending a cent.
- Chat. Live village and guild chat, and you can buy the whole room a round of drinks.
It's free to play. The only thing for sale is Elixir, and nobody can spend more than $20 a month on it, hard capped on the server.
It's small right now. A few hundred people, ten guilds, leaderboards wide open. Anyone who makes a character before October 5 gets the Founder title, which proves you were here first.
Happy to answer anything about the game.
