About the Game

"Hero & Monster" is a strategy game that blends auto-chess lineup building with real-time combat. You must carefully manage your resources in the shop between waves to forge an invincible army.

37 Recruitable Units
Spanning 5 tiers, from cheap Skeletons to the mighty Grim Reaper, each unit has a unique passive ability. Combine six faction synergies to build your own legion.

17 Active Spells
Arcane Barrage, Frost Prison, Meteor Shower, Undead Recall… Cast spells in real time on the battlefield to turn the tide of battle.

11 Unique Heroes
Light Priestess, Frost General, Shadow Assassin… Each hero has a unique passive talent, exclusive skill, and starting spell, offering distinctly different combat styles.

6 Major Synergies
Emerald Watch, Iron Blood Warband, Shadow Hunter Group, Arcane Coven, Holy Soul Covenant… — cleverly match factions to trigger powerful synergy effects and multiply your army’s strength.

3 Difficulty Levels
30 waves of enemies across three difficulty settings, from Normal to Brutal, putting your strategic limits to the test.

Deep Shop Economy
Buy units and learn spells in the shop between waves. Manage gold interest, adjust unit order, and weigh short-term power against long-term growth — every single coin matters.
