About Heldric - The legend of the shoemaker
Do you enjoy hack-n-slash but longed for a bit more? Maybe you like tower defense games but find them a bit boring? Heldric is a unique mix of the same old styles of game with a few new twists. A hack-n-slash without endless level grinding. A tower defense game with more action. A game where you don't play as an epic hero, but as a humble shoemaker who must work together with his fellow villagers to defend their home. Build and upgrade the village quickly before the attack waves start. Each building you place adds unique abilities to not only the player's character, but your fellow villagers as well. You must choose your structures wisely, as there are only a limited amount of plots available on each map. Every villager contributes to your coin income and provides essential help in defending the town. You must help them defend against waves of monsters intent on killing everyone. Do you have what it takes to survive?

Игра 'Heldric - The legend of the shoemaker' оказалась приятным сюрпривом. Несмотря на пиксельную графику, мир проработан с душой, а история старика-сапожника, вынужденного покинуть дом, трогает за живое. Геймплей представляет собой смесь point-and-click адвенчуры и RPG элементов, где нужно исследовать локации, решать головоломки и сражаться с врагами. Боевая система довольно простая, но сбалансированная. Особенно хочется отметить атмосферу игры. Меланхоличная музыка и детализированные локации создают ощущение погружения в сказочный мир, полный опасностей и тайн. Персонажи хорошо прописаны, и к ним быстро привязываешься. Хотя игра и не без недостатков (например, иногда встречаются неочевидные головоломки), общее впечатление от 'Heldric' крайне положительное. Рекомендую всем, кто любит атмосферные приключения с интересным сюжетом и необычным главным героем. Это прекрасный пример того, как небольшая инди-игра может подарить незабываемые эмоции.

Edit: the game is now free, which is a nice gesture. It's worth playing for free and at least trying it - but dont get your hopes up. This is a really unsatisfying, ugly game to play that does nothing it tries to accomplish well. Combat stinks, the controls stink, the building stinks and is really linear, and all and all it's just a bland game.
