Game Overview
AFK Arena is an idle RPG developed by LilithGames. The fantasy world of Esperia is attacked by its ancient enemy, the Hypogeans – and it is up to you to defend it. The Hypogeans were created more than a millenia ago by Annih, the God of Death. Though he failed to destroy the world back then, his minions remained on Esperia, laying low and biding their time. Finally, they have accumulated enough strength to resurface and go on a campaign of conquest and destruction once more. These vile, evil creatures cannot be persuaded or swayed; to end the threat they pose to Esperia, the Hypogeans must be destroyed once and for all. As the name suggests, the main selling of AFK Arena is that it doesn’t require much attention to play. However, it does feature several, more involved, game modes for those who are seeking mental engagement. One such mode is Shadow Invasions, a roguelike mode where one hero is placed directly under your control. And in the PVP Arena, you will have to come up with strategies to counter your fellow players. AFK Arena is a mobile game, available exclusively on iOS and Android. However, several programs can be used to play AFK Arena on PC as well as on Mac. Learn all about them in the guide below.
Play AFK Arena on PC or Mac using Bluestacks
Note: Playing AFK Arena on PC or Mac via Bluestacks will allow you to use a keyboard and mouse, however, according to the latest updates, this won’t give you an advantage, as the game uses special separate servers for gamers playing with emulators.
Among the variety of Android emulators, Bluestacks is the most advanced one. Firstly, it is available for both Windows and Mac with full functionality. Secondly, it allows effortless, automatic transition to PC game controls and convenient hot-keys that you are used to from any regular PC game. It provides high performance and graphics in any mobile game even on a relatively weak PC or Mac, as computer processors are usually more powerful than smartphone ones. To run AFK Arena on PC or Mac you need to perform these easy steps:
- Download the latest version of Bluestacks for Windows or MacOS.
- Open Play Store and sign-in with your Google account.
- Download AFK Arena from the catalog and run it.
- Bluestacks may offer you to run better engine for this game.
- Install the game and start playing!
Play AFK Arena on PC or Mac using Tenorshare Phone Mirror
Tenorshare Phone Mirror is an application that allows you to control your smartphone from a PC or Mac. You will see your phone’s screen on the computer, and will be able to issue commands with keyboard and mouse. With advanced keyboard mapping abilities, similar to what is offered by Android emulators, you will be able to play AFK Arena on PC easily, all while enjoying the precision of PC controls. This method has an obvious disadvantage – it requires you to have a phone capable of running AFK Arena. However, there are several advantages as well. Because the game doesn’t actually run on your computer, the specifications of your PC don’t matter. What’s more, it is unlikely that you will be banned in any game for using this tool – something that might happen while using emulators. Phone Mirror can be used to control both iOS and Android devices, so unless you have a weak smartphone, this app will be useful to you.
- Download and install Tenorshare Phone Mirror on your PC or Mac computer.
- Launch it and pair your smartphone with your computer by following the program’s instructions.
- Install AFK Arena and start playing!
Play AFK Arena on M1 (M2, M3) Mac
Note: According to our research, playing AFK Arena on an M1 (M2, M3) Mac may cause a temporary or permanent account ban in the game, that is why it is recommended to play with the secondary account or as a guest.
As you may already know, M Macs (latest Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, Mac Mini, iMac) are able to run many iOS apps and games on MacOS. If for apps it can be useful because many iPad and iPhone apps are very advanced and suitable for desktop usage, in gaming this is just magic. M chips (especially M Pro, M Max, M Ultra) are much more powerful than iPhone and iPad chips, in many types of games (shooters, racing) keyboard and mouse (trackpad) controls are much more useful than touch.
To download and play AFK Arena on M1 (M2, M3) Mac do the following:
- On your Mac go to Mac App Store and click on your profile in the bottom left corner.
- Under account click iPhone & iPad Apps.
- Download AFK Arena on your Mac device and start playing!
Note: not all iOS games and programs support this feature. If you can’t find the game in Mac App Store, it is likely that the game’s developers have decided not to support it.
