SHIFT HEROES
AUTO BATTLER

An idle auto battler that lives in a tiny window on your desktop. Your heroes fight, loot and evolve — even while you're busy with real life.

FREE TO PLAY · WINDOWS · COMING SOON

A game that fights while you live

Shrink it into a lean strip beside your work, or expand it when it's time to optimize. The battle never stops.

🪟

Lives on your desktop

A small always-on-top window built to sit beside your work, your classes or your second monitor.

⚔️

Real horde battles

Monsters pour in from three flanks while tanks hold the wall, snipers pick targets and healers keep the line alive.

Evolving heroes

Seven classes that transform into entirely new heroes — turret engineers, undead juggernauts, storm mages.

🪐

A Solar System campaign

Fight from Earth to the Sun. Every world changes the rules with new elements and colossal bosses.

One loop, running forever

No menus to babysit — just a squad that keeps getting stronger.

1

Assemble

Build a squad from your growing roster.

2

Deploy

Drop them on the field. Nothing else to click.

3

Loot & Level

Gear and XP roll in whether you're watching or not.

4

Evolve

Hit a tier, pick a branch, become something new.

Two ways to play, same progress

Switch any time — your squad doesn't care which one you pick.

🖥️

Active Mode

Full window open, watching the fight, moving gear around and steering your squad in real time.

📎

AFK Mode

Shrinks to a slim strip that sits quietly beside your other windows — the fight keeps going regardless.

Ten worlds. One journey.

Earth is only the beginning — push toward the Sun through worlds that fight back.

Seven classes. Two paths each.

Every hero starts simple and splits into two very different evolutions as it levels.

Knight

Tank

Holds the front line and eats the hits so nobody else has to.

Archer

Carry

Ranged damage that scales with every piece of gear you find.

Cleric

Support

Keeps the squad alive — or goes all-in on healing.

Mage

Damage

Burns down the whole wave, or locks it in place instead.

Forger

Tank

Buffs the whole squad's gear from the front line as it tanks hits.

Necromancer

Summoner

Fights through an army of bone that never runs out.

Symbiote

Buffer

A parasite build that empowers the whole squad from the back line.

Every class transforms across five tiers — by the top of the ladder it barely resembles where it started.

There's a lot more running under the hood

The loop is simple. What feeds it isn't.
