Indie developer 14 Hours Productions has announced the mobile port of its beloved game, Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago.
The mobile edition of Yolk Heroes is set to launch on iOS and Android this November 28.
Yolk Heroes first launched on Steam in 2023. The game merges Tamagotchi-style digital pet simulation with RPG mechanics.
In Yolk Heroes: A Long Tamago, players step into the role of Guardian Spirit. They are then tasked with protecting the mythical realm of Faria.
The Fairy Queen entrusts players with raising elf heroes from eggs to adventurers capable of defending the land against the Frog Lord and his minions. The game gained popularity for its blend of nurturing, strategic combat, and idle mechanics.
Yolk Heroes draws inspiration from the classic Tamagotchi but adds a modern twist with RPG elements.
In the game, players care for their hero’s energy, health, and hygiene. At the same time, they need to train them in strength, dexterity, and intelligence.
Yolk Heroes also contains mini-games and skill-building activities. Through these, heroes can grow into powerful adventurers and join the Adventurer’s Guild and face tougher challenges. Like battling against the Golfing Goblins, Disco Dragons, and Sand Witches.
But the journey doesn’t stop there.
Upon reaching adulthood, heroes embark on quests to gain experience, collect gold, and unlock advanced equipment. The game offers nine unique classes, including Mage, Warrior, and Paladin.
One of Yolk Heroes’ standout features is its real-time progression system. This means that heroes can continue their quests even when the game is closed.
This idle mechanic also lets users check in periodically to monitor their hero’s progress and ensure their needs are met. Failed quests send heroes back to the guild, where players can nurse them back to health before venturing out again.
The mobile version of Yolk Heroes includes all the features of the PC version, now optimized for smaller screens.
Meanwhile, pre-registration is now open for Yolk Heroes on iOS and Android. Devs have also prepared in-game item giveaways and special launch deals to celebrate the transition to mobile devices.
