    I have lost my full progress on this game 4 times over to date. I have 56 hours played and as I type this "review" my game completion is now at 0.00% again - full restart. Good luck trying to refund an idle game - even 4 hours in and Steam will consider it as a well played game and will not refund. Albeit you were idle for 3 hours 52 minutes of those 4 hours. Lacks full English translations but this has been mentioned by others,

    English translation is pretty poor. I had to hold Google Len up to the screen to translate enough to swap the language to English to start it. I only played a few minutes and encountered several bugs. This game isn't ready yet.

    Only reason I'm happy I got this is because I had fun for an hour. To me an hour of fun is worth a lot. Also, if you look at the process running this is No Brainer Hero 2. Just letting ya'll know. When I got the game it didn't come ready for english players, not sure if that's what the update fixed, don't care enough to find out.. just found the settings and changed it. Update: The game max's out at level 5 in the current version. I had fun making the game play itself but I'm disappointed I'm…

    The game is fun, i'm fan of this type of idle games, and i like the style of this game can be alot of fun but ... What i don't like: When you buy the game, game is on start in Chinese language and i know 0 about Chinese language ... is almost impossible to success to change the game on English ... after clicking random buttons in settings i success to change it to English ( game restart require ) I play the game for 2 hours when i buy it, but today when i try to start the game, the game don't…

    I read "Ninja LvL 99" review, and at first I didn't know what he meant by the cap being level 5; However, after playing it, I can clarify a little. Your characters can level quite a bit, but your structures are what are limited to 5 (which also limits your gear level). So you aren't limited to stage 5; For example, I am on floor 1k right now. The main 2 CONS for me at the moment: 1. Not enough content (expected of an early access though) - I am dieing to keep playing, as the game is very…

    Heroes:Odyssey devs have abandoned the game on the 23rd of july 2021 after a couple of updates...The majority of updates are a small amount of bug fixes each time. They also keep adding in extremely heavy rng grinds even for a idle game. The new class called king takes 120+ hours at x4 speed to unlock it... This is a shovelware bare bones early access game which means its a low-budget, poor-quality game, released in the hopes of being purchased by unsuspecting customers.

    if your primary language is English and you do not read the language this game was originally published in-avoid this game. The translation is terrible and what is translated could of been done better by Google translate. requested refund due to the game not being available in a playable form when using the English language.

    This game is such a shame compared to the first game (No Brainer Heroes) It's as if all the good devs from the first game left and the new intern used the assets to try and put something together This is a clear step back in the series, please go play No Brainer Heroes (the first game which is actually fun!) instead of this I'll edit this if this game ever gets developed past this bare bones nonsense state it currently is in (things make less sense in the 2nd game then they did in the first…

    It wasn't saving properly each time I exited the game. Eventually my save file was gone.

    This left early access. This should not have left early access. I found it boring overall. Insanely low quality for being the second game in a series. Paid achievements by selling characters in the paid game... If I listed the bugs I've seen I would reach a character limit. This was essentially not play tested at all. Know that going in and its prolly worth the 4 bucks to kill some time.

    One of the better idle RPG games ever created. Needs some polish with english translation and more content, tho.

    Idle Heroes: Odyssey is an idle role-playing game developed and published by OnigiriStudio that combines automated progression systems with hero management, town development, and long-term strategic planning. Rather than relying solely on passive advancement, the game introduces layers of management mechanics that encourage players to balance combat growth with infrastructure building and team optimization. It takes familiar ideas from idle RPG design and expands them into something that feels…

    If you can figure out how to change the language to English (I just kept pressing buttons) Dare I say this is actually a good idle game? As someone with Carpal Tunnel I've been searching for actual good games that don't hurt my hands, and so far this is one of them. With visuals…

    Edit: Changing my review. This game hasn't been updated in a long time and seems abandoned. Needs better English translations. After 50 hours I still have no idea what some skills do. Needs better spelling (Dodge is doge etc). Other than that it's a good Idle game. The progression system is cool and even addicting. Lots of potential if devs keep it up.

    Has potential and is playable but it's currently a mess. Save issues. Bad translations. User interface doesn't always work. Drop tables seem to not be working as intended.

    This game is not terrible nor is it great, it is good, and that is OK. What is not OK are the English translations, they definitely need work since they sometimes do not make sense. But, as far as idle games go, it gets it right with the right amount of casual and strategy. Pick it up if it ever gets discounted for a nice game to check on while playing other, more involved games. The score that this game gets is a respectable 6/10, and can definitely improve if the English translation are fixed…

    It's a pretty decent game. A lot of idle grinding to get anything done. Endgame does hit a balancing wall - even totally maxed out characters and equipment still can't complete some content without a lot of random luck. It's a shame.. up until then it was quite enjoyable. But, that was a good hundred hours of content... worth it imo. It does take some getting used to and the DLC characters are pointless. There are a few questionable choices in development. I really didn't like the gender…

    i know it is EA but i have played like 80hours so far and sadly i have to say the game is boring, progression feels bad, evolving feels like it have 0 impact, the translation is very unfinished, some things are not even translated at all, many things are just placeholders, many things are just bad translated and you dont even know what it means, buildings are caped at lvl5 so you dont even have access to all features or heroes, the game stage is like a very early alpha and not like EA. the devs…
