Clicker Arena - An Idle Game fused with a Roguelike. Next Fest demo is Live!

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2658030/Clicker_Arena/ (Next Fest demo is live!)

Hey r/incremental_games, I've been working for 3 years on an experimental Idle game + Roguelike fusion. I got the idea while playing idle games like Cookie Clicker and Clicker Heroes (yes, I know they're old, but I was on a nostalgia kick). They're great fun, but I always wanted them to be more like "real" games: with graphics, deeper gameplay, choice, and consequences. 3 years later, I'm here to share the result: Clicker Arena.

Play as a team of heroes battling it out in the arena for triumph and glory. Manage every aspect of the battle, from your heroes to the enemies they take on. Draw from a deck of cards, that you build, to find gear and treasure. Define your own play style with unique classes and deck-building synergies. Discover game-changing artifacts. Every run is unique, and the final boss is a real doozy.

This game is now being published by Freedom Games. They discovered it from obscurity (I don't do much promotion) and they thought it was great fun.

Clicker Arena is in Steam Next Fest and will be releasing soon after. The Next Fest demo is already live and you can go try it out right now! The demo is based on the full version of the game. There have been many changes since the beta, so even if you've played that before please give the demo a try.

Please note that this game is paced for and best played actively. Your first run will be slower and some AFK is expected, but the game will kick into high gear once you unlock the Training Hall and get your first class (2nd unlock). There is a 10 minute AFK timer. I know that sounds laughable, but the game follows the Roguelike run-based design and each complete run is ~40 minutes in length.

Finally, I wanted to close by thanking this community. Your feedback on the beta I posted previously has been invaluable and the game is better for it.
