About the game
Grindforge is a dark-fantasy idle RPG. Your hero fights up an endless tower on his own while you decide what he wears, which spells he casts and in what order.
Pick one of five classes: Berserker, Ranger, Reaper, Arcane or Surgeon. Every floor drops gold and gear, from Common up to Legendary, and every piece shows on your hero. Upgrade what you find, ascend to unlock Mythic items and talents, and bring up to two more of your heroes as a Warband.
In the arena you fight other players' actual builds: their spell bar, their ranks, their stats and their item effects. Daily dungeons, the Gauntlet and a weekly world boss give you more to do when the tower gets hard.
While you are away your hero keeps collecting gold, experience and items for up to eight hours.

- Gear from Common to Mythic that shows on your hero

- Warband: fight with up to three of your heroes

How to play
Grindforge is an idle RPG. Your hero climbs the tower floor by floor and fights by himself. Your job is the build: the gear he wears, the spells on his bar and their order, his training and his talents.
Open the Hero tab to equip and upgrade items, and the Skills tab to choose up to four spells. The order of the bar is the order he casts them in. When a floor is too hard, your hero falls back and keeps farming gold and gear until you are stronger.
From floor 5 the Arena opens. There you spend tickets to fight other players' builds and climb the honor ladder. Later you can ascend: you start the tower again with permanent talents and can unlock Mythic items.
When you close the game your hero keeps collecting gold, experience and items for up to eight hours.
Tips
- The first spell on your bar is cast first. Put your strongest damage spell in front.
- A higher-floor item of a lower rarity can beat an old Legendary. Compare before you salvage.
- Passive spells take a bar slot but work all the time. They unlock at levels 20, 50 and 85.
- Arena rivals are matched to your power. Pick the weaker ones when you need a safe win.
- Collect your away rewards at least every eight hours; they stop growing after that.
- Daily dungeons drop gear at your level, including Legendaries.
