With a roster of more than 70 heroes to collect and tactical mechanics that will test your mettle, the free-to-play role-playing game Delusion: Tactical Idle RPG should captivate you for hours on end. Published by Super Planet, this game is highly similar to titles like AFK Journey, where strategy meets idle gameplay.

If you’ve played a lot of idle action games before, you’ll find that Delusion: Tactical Idle RPG’s premise is basically the same — defeat the bad guys while constantly leveling up your heroes and upgrading your weapons. However, this game comes with charming pixelated graphics, which is great eye candy.

Begin your ascent of the spire

Delusion: Tactical Idle RPG transports players to a dark fantasy world where they must lead a party of heroes to confront the spire’s ever-changing challenges. In a world inflicted by a sinister sorcerer’s curse, a looming spire stands as the epicenter of malevolence. Countless heroes have ventured into its depths, their fate shrouded in mystery. Now, it’s your turn to rise to the task.

The gameplay combines the frenetic pace of bullet hell mechanics with the strategic positioning of your heroes. Move, dodge, and attack — survival hinges on your ability to maintain a relentless advance. Plus, even when you’re not actively playing, your heroes continue to fight and gather experience, ensuring constant progression. Collect EXP and rewards so you can level up and equip your heroes with better gear.

Moreover, there are over 70 heroes to choose from, each with their unique abilities, so crafting the perfect team is essential. Selecting the right team leader is crucial, as their attributes can significantly enhance your party’s overall performance. Enemies and bosses grow stronger the further you progress; ensure that your party of three complements one another and their armor is impeccable. Unfortunately, there are quite a lot of ads that disrupt the gaming experience.

Blends idle and active gameplay

Overall, Delusion: Tactical Idle RPG combines the best of idle and strategic gameplay with a rich roster of heroes and an engaging dark fantasy setting. As you guide your heroes through continuously changing challenges, the game rewards tactical thinking and constant progression, even in your absence. While it has a few shortcomings, its strengths make it a compelling choice for fans of the genre looking for a new adventure to conquer.
