Our take on Wicked Times
Its defining format is a hero-management autobattler that uses real photographs for both locations and enemies, placing equipment and spell upgrades between automated encounters.
What is Wicked Times?
Wicked Times is a role-playing game built around hero management and autobattler combat rather than direct action.
The journey follows a fight against the demon Kugraltha and his minions across 64 locations and 6 cities. Gold can be collected and spent on equipment, while spell-book upgrades increase spell damage and armor upgrades improve resistance to monster backlash. Potions support the hero's health. Between encounters, 13 side activities, including fishing, begging, and meditation, provide additional experience or gold. The game includes 60 enemies and 3 final bosses, with real photographs used for locations and enemies.
