About Desktop Heroes
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.
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!

couldnt progress after village. bosses are not spawn imposible to get level. i didnt understand how make progress in this stage. No idle progress and no offline progress.1 found this helpful
fun little side piece
Conceptually it is a cool idea. In reality it's a very barebones idler that has very little upwards scaling (or fun in my opinion). My biggest gripe is how little you get in terms of progression, and how the auto-skill on the first skill always comes undone in some way or form. Takes some ~200 hours to 100% if you're an achievement hunter.
Easy to play and the grind is addicting.
This game honestly surprised me with how many fun elements are in the game! if you love RPGs, team building, and farming monsters this is the game for you! it is an idle RPG which is my favorite part. i can let the game run while im doing/playing other things! quite a fun one if you are looking for a 2nd monitor game!~ update: To clarify, you can only utilize three heroes simultaneously, which means that using all four at once is not permitted. At this stage, I have successfully leveled every character to 400 and completed the primary set of story quests. I am currently focusing on the bosses introduced in the latest update. This game remains enjoyable for what it offers; however, I have observed a significant increase in resource usage as one progresses to the later stages. This increase is understandable given the multitude of monsters present on the screen, but it may pose challenges for players using lower-end PCs as the game advances. I have noticed that this game can consume over 3000 MB of RAM and may also experience memory leaks, leading to consistent RAM usage exceeding 10000 MB while the game is running. Nevertheless, I appreciate the game; the concept is quite engaging…
cute idle game dev was very helpful, when a bug appeared!
