About Heroes Unhinged

Variety of Characters

Choose from a wide range of heroes, each with their own unique ability.  Raise exploding humanoid blobs as the Reanimator, build auto turrets as the Goblineer, fire arrows that curve and seek enemies as the Onna-Musha, set fires as the Pyro Maniac, go into a teleporting attack frenzy as Poof, summon wave blasting bells as Calm Fist, call in an ice cream truck as the Ice Cream Man.  The list of heroes is 20 with more planned for future updates!

Destruction

Every stage is completely destructible! Some patrol missions will have heroes destroy a certain percentage of the stage or destroy a set number of structures.  As destruction goes up, enemies scale up in quantity, health, and damage.  New enemy types will begin appearing as you destroy more of a stage, and once you have most of the stage destroyed, the leader of that stage will appear to put an end to you!

Power Points

Feel like you're taking too much damage?  Not doing enough damage yourself?  Having trouble keeping your health up?  With the power points system, you can freely place points you earn where you feel like you need them.  Each character's natural strengths and weaknesses can be altered with the power points system to create the playstyle you want!

Random Patrol Missions

In the Hall of Heroes, a hero can choose to take a patrol mission which will assign a task for a random unlocked location.  These missions are optional and consist of simple things such as eliminating a number of enemies or structures or collecting a number of fragments.  These missions reward the hero with a large number of fragments and a portal that can be used to return to the Hall of Heroes.

Cosmic Powers

As you create a path of destruction you will have a chance to stumble across cosmic hands and the watcher.  These will drop crystals that grant a random assortment of cosmic powers.  These powers may summon floating orbs, cause cosmic explosions, or even passive healing!  Some cosmic powers are passive always active, some activate with all hero attacks and abilities, and some have a chance to activate with hero attacks and abilities.

The Watcher

At any time, the watcher may show up, bringing cosmic powers as gifts, while also selling stat enhancing crystals.  If you approach him while having any cosmic powers, he'll offer to replace or upgrade them, for a price!

Risk and Reward

To earn fragments faster, and to increase the challenge in any stage, you can spend a small bit of fragments to increase the tier of the next stage you enter.  Each tier increase comes with increased amount of enemies along with increased damage and health the enemies start with!  Every 10 tiers will add a random modifier that adds a unique twist!

Surprisingly very solid game. There's a learning curve but it rewards learning the game mechanics well. The characters feel distinct and both the art and voice lines have a certain charm to them. I would love to see a more permanent form of meta progression, like a universal power point buy in. The game kind of attempts something like it, but it costs currency and lasts for one run, and is random. So it's much less satisfying that it could be. But the game overall is still very much worth $5 if you're a fan of the genre, and has a free demo if you're unsure. Edit: The dev took this suggestion and made the upgrade permanent, and continue to update the game and add new features. That's awesome on their part and I'd definitely recommend checking this game out.

It's just a fun game. You complete random missions/quests for orbs to unlock characters, more maps and random power boosts which I think is this game's form of meta progression. The cost to unlock characters increases each time so my suggestion for your first unlocks are Dr Plague & Reanimator if you want ez mode from the start.

Heroes Unhinged is a fast top down action game that is basically built around one thing, letting me cause as much destruction as possible. I can choose from 20 different superheroes and each one has their own way of fighting. Some summon exploding creatures, some build turrets, some use fire and others have much stranger abilities. I like that the game gets straight to the point because I am not spending ages setting things up. I pick a character, enter a stage and start destroying everything around me. The character variety is probably the strongest part for me. The heroes feel different enough that changing characters can completely change how I approach a run. I might use the Goblineer and rely on turrets, then switch to the Reanimator and focus on exploding creatures, or use someone like Poof who can teleport around enemies. That gives me a good reason to unlock more heroes instead of simply finding one character I like and sticking with them forever. The power points also help because I can put my earned points into the stats I actually care about and adjust some of a character's weaknesses. I really like the destruction system too. The stages are completely destructible, so…

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
