Hero Sige combines a great retro feel with satisfying modern graphical features that surprisingly fit in well. As for the core mechanics, the game runs very smoothly while still spamming hundreds of enemies and effects on your screen at once. The game is still in development so bugs and content is still being added, but the solo game section is almost bug free and runs perfectly.

Hero Siege has features of a hack n slash combined with roguelike elements such as binding of isaac. Never before have I seen a roguelike which has features of a hack n slash rpg such as leveling up and a skilltree. Sure this game has a pretty simple setup but executes it wonderfully. Throughout a "run" you will find potions, items, relics, curses or blessings and other stat boosts which give you more stats for that run, this will be erased once you die, but all your permanent stats will remain (Skill points when leveling, Items picked up from monsters, Permanent stats from statues etc etc)

This gives a feeling of progression because even though you die and lose all your power and what not, you still get stronger as you level up and progress. So you're not just replaying the same level over and over again with no progression as most roguelikes. Instead of unlocking new items, you're making your new character more powerful.

Would Buy.
