Lumivale: free idle clicker RPG

Lumivale is an original LoschaZ browser RPG game built around one simple loop. Every tap on the royal anvil forges gold and heats the forge; when the heat bar is full, the next strike becomes a masterwork with a bigger payout and, once heroes have joined, a new piece of gear. Eight buildings, from the lumber hut to the keep, produce gold on their own. Each building has milestones that double its output, a perk such as cheaper heroes or longer offline time, and three visual stages in the little kingdom you watch grow.

Gold also recruits heroes. Sir Brannoc, Wren, Ilsa and four more companions join one by one, and a secret eighth hero joins once five of its crests have turned up in chests. Heroes attack automatically, cast their skills by themselves from level 10 and gain a large step in damage at level milestones. Gear comes in three slots with six rarities; each rarity has its own colour and shape, so it stays readable without colour. Spare pieces can be melted into essence for the forge or fused three to one into the next rarity. The hero window shows exactly where a hero's damage comes from.

The campaign runs through eight regions of ten stages, from a green meadow to the Shadow Citadel. After that the journey continues in star rounds: every region returns stronger, with more gems. From stage 40 you can hand the crown to a new age. Buildings, heroes and gold start over, while gems, gear, relics and crowns stay, and crowns buy royal decrees that last for good. Along the way you collect 16 relics, fill a monster book with 24 monsters, befriend some of them as helpers in your buildings and clear a ten-floor dungeon with keys that refill over time.

Lumivale also has a social side, all optional. Pick a champion name to appear on seven leaderboards, read a live feed of rare finds and use quick chat with set phrases and stickers. Players can found a guild with gems and build it up together with daily donations; guild members share a weekly guild boss and a filtered text chat. Each week brings a themed event, such as a boss week with double gems or a forge week with cheaper forging. Progress saves in your browser, and a short transfer code or a backup file moves it to another device.

1. Forge and build

   Tap the anvil for gold and spend it on buildings. Their income grows with every level and doubles at milestones.

2. Recruit and gear up

   Recruit heroes, level them and equip better gear from chests. They fight and cast skills on their own.

3. Push and start again

   Beat each region boss before its timer runs out. From stage 40, start a new age for crowns that make the next run faster.

Controls

Tap or click the anvil to forge gold; with a keyboard, Space does the same. Everything else is a button: the Kingdom tab holds the hammer and buildings, Heroes holds recruiting, levels, skills and doctrines, Treasury holds chests, the armory, relics and gifts, Status shows your rank, the weekly event, the monster book and the dungeon, Crown starts a new age, and Social holds rankings, chat and guilds. The buttons ×1, ×10, ×25 and Max choose how many levels one tap buys. Heroes fight and cast skills automatically. The two round buttons beside the stage switch between the kingdom and the battlefield.

Your kingdom saves automatically in this browser on this device. Clearing site data or ending a private session removes it. To move it, open Settings and create a transfer code (valid for 24 hours, usable once) or save a backup file. While you are away, buildings keep earning: up to two hours at first, up to 16 hours as the keep grows. Lumivale plays in portrait and landscape with mouse, keyboard or touch, in English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese, and has a reduced-motion setting.
