Starhost: AFK Idle Card RPG

Nine squares. Five fighters. Move one into the wrong square and the run ends.

An idle card RPG built around one idea: 84 characters from every century, five slots to field them, nine squares to place them — gacha collection, offline progression, all 84 of them Live2D-animated, 73 with voiced lines.

NINE SQUARES, FIVE FIGHTERS
The battlefield is exactly nine squares and you can only field five. If your front line folds, your back line is target practice. Drop a support one square too far and half your damage evaporates. Six preset formations unlock as you level — from a double-tank wall to all-out aggression — and you swap them with one tap.
Combat is turn-based and runs itself, but half the outcome is settled before the first hit: who holds the front, who waits in the corner for the cleanup, which square your support stands on to actually reach the team. This is not a game where the bigger number wins.

WHY ONLY NINE SQUARES
Because fewer rules make every choice heavier. You don't memorize a dozen counter tables — you're playing in three minutes. But move one unit and the ending changes. Pull a tank off the front and your support pays for your damage with its life. Slide your finisher into the corner, let the enemy burn their skills, then walk in — and a lost fight flips.
Easy enough to start, deep enough to think about every day. That's the whole design.

EIGHTY-FOUR CHARACTERS, FOUR ROLES
Warlords, scientists, artists, gods, outlaws and literary legends, all on one roster:
Caesar · Alexander · Cleopatra · Hercules · Joan of Arc · Robin Hood
Tesla · Einstein · Marie Curie · Mozart · Freud · Nightingale
Athena · Achilles · Arthur · Beowulf · Homer · Dante
Jack the Ripper · Frankenstein · Arsene Lupin · Don Quixote · Grimm · Sissi
Mulan · Guan Yu · Ying Zheng · Oda Nobunaga · Sanada Yukimura · Genghis Khan
Four roles, clearly divided. Team building is the actual game: it's not who you pulled, it's how you fill those nine squares.

MORE THAN A WAIFU GALLERY
The art is the first thing you notice — every character breathes, blinks and speaks — all Live2D, 73 of them with voiced lines. And the roster is not one archetype: Caesar and Cleopatra hold the same front line as Marie Curie and Jack the Ripper.

GACHA WITH THE MATH SHOWING
The pity counter sits on the summon screen before you pull — no guessing how many summons are left. No reroll grind either: the characters handed out early are enough to clear the opening story, so your first hour goes into playing instead of restarting.
Eighty-four names to fill a roster — a collector's checklist that takes months, not a weekend.

IT KEEPS WINNING WHILE YOU'RE GONE
AFK income settles offline. Work, class, sleep — the squad keeps fighting. Come back, collect, star up, reshuffle, push one more chapter. No stamina wall, no login timers.

PvE STORY, TOWER CLIMB, PvP ARENA
The story runs chapter by chapter, a new era each time. The tower is where you test a lineup's ceiling. The arena puts you against real players — same roster, different arrangement, different result.

WHO THIS IS FOR
For you if: you want an anime game you can actually think about, you'd rather win on placement than on raw power, and you want an anime idle RPG that doesn't demand two hours a day.
Not for you if: you want real-time control, you only care about story and never want to arrange a team, or you dislike gacha — better to say it now than have you find out after installing.
