The Five Biggest Things in AFK Journey’s New Update

ign.com:

AFK Journey is a free-to-play fantasy RPG that released in March for PC and mobile, and it quickly became one of the top-rated games on iOS and Android. It gives you command of a party of heroes with a diverse array of classes and abilities, and with nearly 50 heroes currently available, your options are always growing and evolving.

Your party consists of five members, but AFK Journey has several systems that allow you to easily and conveniently build your team how you want. For example, let’s say you’ve built your party to level 20 but get a new character you want to try out. When you swap them into your party, they immediately jump to level 20. Basically, it’s as if the level belongs to the slot in your party rather than a specific character. So no more feeling like you wasted time and resources leveling up a character only to stop using them.

Then there’s class upgrades, which allow you to change the equipment of all characters in a given class simultaneously. There are six classes in AFK Journey: Warrior, Tank, Mage, Marksman, Rogue and Support. When you upgrade your Tank equipment, every Tank gets upgraded at the same time. That means you don’t have to micromanage every piece of equipment on all of your characters or equip and unequip as you move characters in and out of your party. It’s all accomplished in a couple taps or clicks on your screen.

AFK Journey is developed by Farlight Games and Lilith Games, studios responsible for several popular PC and mobile titles — including Call of Dragons, Rise of Kingdoms, Dislyte, and AFK Arena, the predecessor of AFK Journey. AFK Journey uses a beautiful canvas art style that makes for vibrant environments and a diverse cast of colorful characters.
