About Hero's Descent
Fortunately for you, a number of battle-hardened heroes are available and anxious for the opportunity to enter the dungeon. Each hero has unique abilities, strength, and growth potential. Learn them well, push them to their limits, and you just might be able to survive!
KEY FEATURES
- Three unique characters!
Each character has its own unique set of abilities and playstyle. The dungeon and your growth are tied to the character you select, allowing for a variety of play experiences. - Over 20 stages!
Each randomly generated run features over 20 unique stages, each with its own set of traps, enemies, and pitfalls. There are rumors of alternative paths through the ruins as well, and only the most experienced adventurers stand a chance at making it through them alive. - Exciting bosses!
You'll encounter a variety of soul-crushingly difficult bosses while exploring the ruins, and each will put your knowledge of the game to the test. - Daily Challenges and Leaderboards!
Think you're the best adventurer around? Prove it by competing on the leaderboards! Daily challenges exist for each character as well, forcing players to compete on equal ground with the same randomly-generated dungeon every day.

Very funny game. Even its core mechanics is based on turns, it encourages you to act fast (as every level has an optional time limit set, which then is being transformerd into your EXP you can spend on your abilities). BTW. This game is hard. I would really love to see some difficulty settings there :)4 found this helpful
"Hero's Descent" is a 2D retro pixelcrap (sigh) well-intentioned train wreck of a game... it's a contentless "speedrun" (and... when procgen is used instead of real content, speedrunning becomes meaningless because you can't "learn" the course) "dungeon crawler". Some interesting, but bad ideas, implemented badly. It's easy to see why this was a complete failure even after being converted to a free game. What do you do in the game? It's basically a ripoff of Hack/Rogue but with a time limit that nobody thought would be a good idea to add to Hack/Rogue. This features really godawful pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks much worse than most other games because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. The developer chose not to do the job of a real game developer and create meaningful bespoke levels, narrative based gameplay progression and …2 found this helpful
Игра 'Hero's Descent' - это глоток свежего воздуха в жанре рогаликов. Подкупает оригинальный сеттинг, смесь фэнтези и стимпанка создает неповторимую атмосферу. Геймплей затягивает с первых минут, каждый забег уникален благодаря процедурно генерируемым уровням и огромному количеству предметов и способностей. Система классов хорошо продумана, каждый герой обладает своим уникальным стилем игры и стратегией, что добавляет реиграбельности. Боевая система динамичная и требует тактического мышления, а не простого "закликивания" противников. Разнообразие врагов радует, постоянно приходится адаптироваться к новым вызовам. Однако, игра не лишена недостатков. Иногда встречаются баги и небольшие недоработки в интерфейсе. Также, сложность на начальном этапе может отпугнуть некоторых игроков, но стоит перетерпеть, и игра щедро вознаградит за настойчивость. В целом, 'Hero's Descent' - это увлекательный и захватывающий рогалик, который определенно стоит вашего внимания, особенно если вы любите сложные, но rewarding игры. Рекомендую!
It's a really simple and fun game to play, I played very little of it, but that's because each run will take about 3 minutes if you go fast and keep dying like a fool, but yeah, It's hard, it's fun, quite challenging. But, to be honest, my only complaint is that at the 3rd area you have all the reasons to try and not go fast, you just have to go slow, and you still can easily die, just because it has random spawning treeants, ambush spiders and bats, aswell as ghosts and mimic chests, so, even when you think you're safe in a stage, you end up dying, but still, quite fun and fast-paced
[h1]Before I played Hero's Descent, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]
