What is Task Bar Hero?

Task Bar Hero (TBH) is a free idle RPG you play right in your browser — no download, no install, no sign-up. Your heroes fight and gather loot on their own, so the game keeps playing even when you're doing something else. Your job isn't to click through every fight; it's to gear your heroes up and decide where they go next.

An idle RPG that plays itself

In a traditional RPG you steer every attack. In an idle (or "incremental") RPG, combat runs automatically. Task Bar Hero is an auto-battler at heart: heroes clear wave after wave of enemies, earn gold and experience, and drop equipment without any input from you. Leave the tab open and watch the numbers climb, or come back later to a pile of rewards.

Progress keeps going while you're away

The part that makes TBH an idle game is offline progress. Close the tab and your heroes keep earning — when you return, the game tallies up everything they fought for while you were gone and hands it over in a welcome-back reward. You never have to grind at the screen to make headway. See exactly how offline progress works →

Build a party, not just a hero

You recruit heroes across three classes — a sturdy Tanker, a wave-clearing DPS, and a long-haul Healer — and each fills a different role in your party. Mixing them well is how you push into tougher campaign stages. Read the class guide →

Loot, craft, and reforge your gear

Every run drops equipment across five rarities, from Common to Mythic, each carrying affixes that shape how your heroes perform. Spend the materials you gather to craft new gear, then use the Cube to reforge it — rerolling affixes or upgrading rarity — to chase the perfect setup. Read the loot & crafting guide →
