About He is Coming

A long-forgotten enemy rises and brings portents of doom – the Demon King is coming, and without a champion to strike him down, the world will surely fall to his corruption. Seek out powerful weapons and artifacts by day, stand against his minions by night, and prepare to be hunted by powerful entities from ages past in this roguelite role-playing game.Every three days, a terrifying new minion of the Demon King begins his hunt, drawn from a pool of over 30 potential bosses. Study each monster’s strengths and unique powers, and adapt your build accordingly. Explore the realm in search of the weapons and equipment best suited to defeat this powerful predator, but be wary of other fell creatures that roam the world by night. With limited time, will you opt to sharpen your blade at hidden ancient forges, pay a high price for rare trinkets from greedy merchants, or seek out mighty armor and magical shields? Choose the tools that work best against the powerful enemy that hunts you today, without sacrificing your preparedness for what comes next, overcoming the guardians of each realm until the Demon King Himself stands before you.Pursue a multitude of strategies and synergies with over 350 items at your disposal to confront the unique challenge of each monstrous boss. When hunted by the Razorclaw Grizzly, whose fierce attacks ignore all armor, how much armor will you sacrifice for equipment that prioritizes  maximum health, speed, or damage? The lesser monsters stalking the realms will wage a war of attrition against an unarmored hero, and should the Razorclaw Grizzly be slain, three days may not provide enough time to gather enough armor for the next great foe that hunts you. You may, in place of armor, find several items that enhance your speed and attack strength, allowing you to strike first and hard, vanquishing your enemy swiftly – sometimes before it’s able to strike at all. Then, if you luck upon the Saffron Feather, you’d be able to take advantage of your high speed to help regenerate wounds during battle. But should you find yourself hunted by the Black Knight, who absorbs your attack power as his own, high armor becomes a priority over raw attack strength – with the aid of Razor Scales armor to reflect damage back upon your enemy, and enchanted Ruby Earrings to inflict damage every other turn, the Black Knight would face steady damage without raw attack power to absorb for himself. But if you happen upon a powerful magical weapon, do you dare take it up, knowing it will strengthen the Black Knight for the fight ahead, but come to your aid should you survive it?There are a plethora of options for each threat, with a variety of powerful combinations to be discovered and exploited at your disposal among the countless items, and constant tradeoffs between the near and long-term threats – with limited space in your inventory, you must choose wisely and adapt constantly.Seek out the fallen Demon King’s crown in asynchronous multiplayer mode "Kingmaker" – the ultimate test of your strategies where your champion faces off against the powerful builds of other players – or challenge your friend to duel in real-time, exploring the world to prepare builds and face each other every three days until a victor is crowned. Plan around the equipment and abilities of these would-be heroes in the hunt for the crown, and face a constant onslaught of unique combinations and unforeseeable circumstances – how will you rise above all others?You will face both great victories and noble defeats. Each run will contribute to your progression as you complete over 100 unique challenges that add powerful new artifacts to the pool of items available for future runs – while your first hero may not defeat the Demon King, their efforts will not be in vain.The world descends slowly into chaos as the Demon King grows in strength – the trees wither away, the grass turns to ash, and the bogs turn putrid with the stench of death. Take on the mantle of a hero and prepare yourself – for He is Coming.

✦ AI summary

Players generally enjoy the satisfying gameplay loop, unique pixel art style, and catchy music that make this game fun and addictive. However, some feel the current content is thin for the $20 price tag, with complaints that it plays like an extended demo that ends abruptly with a "to be continued" message around the three-hour mark, making the purchase feel incomplete especially since this timing prevents refunds.

First auto battler I liked. Great atmosphere. I think with some improvements, maybe introducing a hero and more in depth areas/item sets, this game will really sing. I recommend it regardless.

This game is actually lit. I can't wait for the full release. It feels like a board game with less fluf. So fun. Tons of build options. I like it. I like it ok? Jesus christ.

This game is for psychopaths who like their games to be relaxing but also to be mega challenged at the same time. Game is laid back by nature of the auto battle system, but will test your skill. Neat lil game, the art is awesome.

this game is really fun, probably one of the most unexpected sleeper builds ive seen in a game. music is awesome, graphics are sick, and the game just has so much ♥♥♥♥ to do. the singleplayer is packed with stuff to do. tons of challenges, different bosses, unique items and weapons, even little secrets that i still keep finding. as a singleplayer game, this one is great, but it has multiplayer too, which is crazy!! something i never expect from a turn based roguelite game. the multiplayer is fun! very good way of balancing the tons of items that you can use and consolidating it into the multiplayer as to not be overwhelming. overall a really good game, even though its not even full release yet. definitely a little pricey, but you will genuinely have a good time with this game for a long time, so its arguably worth it!!

Overall it's a great game that is very satisfying for some reason. I've been on a Incremental and Roguelike gaming spree lately and played many. This one is special. The battles are so satisfying. It's not overly complicated. I like that there isn't much of a tutorial and it throws you right into the game to figure out how to play. Developer improvement suggestions below. 1. Bug: Couldn't click Continue. On the first or second Continue buttons when I first started playing the game, I couldn't click continue using my Xbox controller. I had to use my mouse. Everything worked fine after that. 2. Improvement: Plot your path. Sometimes I don't know if I can reach all the way to my destination before night or a big boss. It would be great if there was a "plot your path" option that allowed you to move your character as a ghost to show what would happen if you moved. The user could cancel the move a the end. 3. Improvement: Difficult to search for discovered locations. I had a hard time scrolling around finding a few key locations that I already uncovered. Please add a way to filter only the desired location types when browsing the map. 4. Improvement: Chest rewards discarded. I start…

I picked this up on a whim and am very pleasantly surprised how addictive and interesting it is. Way more deep builds than originally expected, and Kingmakers mode is genius, basically their version of ranked that pits you against other players build to play for cosmetics. Highly recommend, i convinced my friend who wasn't into the trailer and didn't expect to like it and now we're racing to see who can be an undefeated champion (just got my first win!)
