There are over 50 heroes to collect and upgrade, and swapping them out to create the perfect monster-crushing team is only half the fun. With plenty of levels to challenge and bosses to battle, there’s always something to keep you busy in Darkfire Heroes.
Teamwork makes the dream work
Your team in Darkfire Heroes can have up to five heroes in it, and each one looks different, has a different weapon, and represents a specific class. For example, the ‘tank’ that you start with, Raebert, is a knight who beats the stuffing out of enemies with his oversized sword. He leads the pack, along with any other tanks you have, to charge into battle first, dishing out major damage.
Each hero has its strengths and weaknesses, so it’s often a matter of rearranging your team to ensure the best range of elements and abilities to ensure you put your best foot forward. You can upgrade your heroes with Gold and Shards, which are earned after beating levels. Additionally, after upgrading, you gain EXP which will increase your Player level, which will earn you new heroes and spells.
Magic at your fingertips
Beyond the abilities of your heroes, you also have an assortment of spells at your disposal. These spells can do elemental damage, heal, or generally provide support to your heroes during battle. It’s one of the best parts of Darkfire Heroes, and it adds a lot to the strategy of play.
You have a separate meter for mana that fills up as you make your way through each level, and each spell requires a certain amount of mana to execute. Your spells cycle through the five you selected before starting each level, so you always have something building up to cast.
Spells can be devastatingly powerful attacks or can help heal up your weary heroes, so it’s always good to check your mana and execute them when available.
Bounties for the taking
Every time you battle something or someone in Darkfire Heroes, you’ll earn some kind of currency or resource. The shop is the easiest place to get rewards from outside of combat, however, as there’s a free chest to be collected periodically that can contain character cards or other goodies, and there are other daily, weekly, and monthly freebies to redeem.
Quests are another great way to quickly gain items, and there are three different types: Daily, Weekly, and Campaign. Campaign quests offer bigger rewards as the challenge is often higher than the other two quest types, like asking the player to reach a certain level.
