Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Aug 18 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
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.
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.

🧙♂️ 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.

Whether you're grinding through your to-do list or taking a five-minute coffee break, Desktop Heroes keeps the adventure going, one pixel-sized battle at a time.
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!

Desktop Heroes – Review (200+ hours) I have over 200 hours in Desktop Heroes, so I feel like I can give a pretty fair review. The idea behind the game is actually pretty cool. It's an idle game that runs on your desktop while you're doing other things. Your hero automatically fights monsters, gets weapons, collects gems, and becomes stronger. Once you collect enough gems, you fight a boss, and after defeating the boss you get a key that unlocks a new world with stronger enemies. You can also unlock more heroes and use them in your team. On paper, it sounds pretty good. The problem is that the game becomes really boring. There’s almost nothing for the player to actually do. The only real interaction is checking back once in a while to see if your hero got better gear or leveled up. In practice, what I ended up doing was: letting the game run in the background watching YouTube playing other games And then checking Desktop Heroes occasionally. Yes, I have 200 hours, but that's mostly because the game was just running in the background for hours at a time. Even for an idle game, the progression feels very thin and there simply isn't enough interesting content to keep things engaging. The price is also a problem. The game costs about 6 €, but honestly it feels more like a 2–3 € game at most. Once I unlock all the achievements, I honestly don’t see any reason to open the game again. I know it’s an idle game, but there are many idle games out there that do this concept much better. Score: 4/10 Unfortunately, I cannot recommend Desktop Heroes in its current state.

包空间太小,升满了也是20分钟左右就满了,这还没配搭掉落的情况下,否则会更快。装备词条千篇一律。尤其铠甲词条单一,后期全是带掉落词条的,没有抗性词条。说实话到了后期,最不想要的就是物品掉落词条。装备筛选也很费劲,需要挨个看。装备全要手动卖,尤其是神话装备。神话装备属性基本上被BOSS装碾压,词条还不如传说实用。第二BOSS石给的太晚了,要到墓地才开放,造成早期迷宫的第二BOSS装备完全就是废品,比如第一迷宫的第二BOSS装备才50级,打到墓地人都过百级了,还要50的装备干什么?完全理解不了为什么那么晚才开放。 还一个大问题就是组队除了1号位能正常释放技能,剩下的跟班学了技能也不会放技能。可能刚上场会放几下,然后就是一直平A了。装备也是看主位的效果,例如一号位没有装备回血词条装备,即便跟班装了也不会回血。
Juego "inactivo" de escritoirio muy entretenido, al principio parece algo tosco, pero depues mejora mucho y acabas enganchado!
can be better, 100% after 75h but dont really good feelings after done it
아니 판매시스템이 너무 귀찮아 딸깍 하게해줘 방치형 게임인데...... 제일 높은 능력치 아이템 끼게 해줘 방치형 게임인데... 주사위 모아서 100개씩 굴리게 해줘 방치형 게임인데.......................
Прежде чем купить, не поленитесь и загляните в Discord-канал. Это очень сплочённое и отзывчивое комьюнити, где каждый может высказать предложения, обсудить нюансы с разработчиками и игроками. Там же в открытом доступе roadmap проекта, а найденные баги фиксятся очень быстро. Проект живой, и аналогов в Steam просто нет! Сама игра, безусловно, 10/10.
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.
not bad but not great. lots of inventory management for an idle game...

Troszkę się zawiodłem tym tytułem, za dużo jest tu interaktywności i jeśli chcemy żeby nasz ludzik faktycznie się wzmacniał to co chwila trzeba do niego zaglądać. Dosłownie co jakieś kilkanaście minut. Trochę bez sensu - Pełna recenzja tutaj https://youtu.be/X8g9BBeX1rc lub na kanale Nik0oo :)
