AFK is a beautiful looking spectacle with cool and cute characters that seemed intentionally designed for cosplayers, and it has a decent, if forgettable, sound track. Gameplay is where the game is really lacking, but for AFK, that's kind of the point.
Probably more technically correct as AFS (away from screen), this game is designed from top to bottom to facilitate your laziness. You can set the battles to auto-combat, you can skip raid battles after your first one for the day and just collect the rewards, you can mass gold and equipment just by waiting, along with player EXP. You don't actually have to do anything.
The largest gripe I have with this game though, after having played for almost a year, is the grind. There is a point not long after starting where the drop rate of characters become absolutely debilitating, and progressing further in the game just stops. If you don't pay, you just mindlessly throw yourself against the same battle over and over until you want to pull your hair out, or you get luck on a character draw. And this is only getting worse with the addition of new characters.
Over all this is a beautiful game, but I can't condone the underhanded money grab it becomes in-game. It shouldn't take months tok progress a minimal amount in any video game, regardless of it revenue system. I'd have to give this one a 2 out of 5.
