Clicker Heroes 2 builds its premise around the satisfaction of steadily growing stronger. The journey moves through worlds filled with mythical creatures, with each step offering monsters to defeat and further upgrades to pursue. Its progression is deliberately open-ended: the game describes an infinite number of worlds and a continuing stream of improvements, making advancement itself the central attraction.
Combat and character development are closely linked. Players move from zone to zone, defeat monsters, then use their rewards to buy gear and upgrades that help them reach higher zones. Once powerful enough, they can advance to another world with stronger enemies and better upgrades. Skills such as Big Click, Huge Click and Multiclick add choices about how to increase damage, while a large skill tree offers many routes for shaping stats and abilities.
Automation gives this incremental design another dimension: the Automator can be configured to level gear, purchase equipment and arrange skill combinations while the player is away.
