Random Heroes: Gold Edition

Had a random itch to play this game since I played it on mobile when I was a kid. Still fun but I miss some of the mobile features such as the homing bazzoka, Grenade launcher and the forest style levels

Too grindy with not much of a challenge. Plays great on Steam Deck, but a few achievements were unlocked without trying? Didn't finish all the levels since it is pretty much the same repeated design without the fun factor.

This rendition is certainly not nearly as good and polished as the original Random Heroes games, however, it's still not terrible. There's enough levels, guns, and heroes to have an hour or two of gameplay. Plus nearly 40 achievements. ♡ Gameplay: 12/20 ♡ Writing: 10/20 ♡ Visuals: 16/20 ♡ OST/SFX: 10/20 ♡ Accessibility: 18/20 ♡ Total: 56/100 - Celeste <3

Fun little run-and-gun retro-platformer. It's good, but needs some fine-tuning before it's great.

huge ratalaika fan, always easy to find a layed back fun game like this for a light evening of chill gaming

My cousin introduced me to this game over a decade ago and I used to play it on my tablet a decent amount. That tablet has since crapped out on me, the game was removed from app stores along with its sequel that I didn't even know existed until a couple years ago, and I was stuck with an itch to play the game and no good way to play it. Then I check my Steam Activity feed a few days ago and see "Random Heroes: Gold Edition" in a list of games my friend started playing. I was shocked. There's no way this could be the Random Heroes I was seeking. Turns out it was Random Heroes 1 and 2 recompiled into a PC port with certain levels removed because according to the new devs the rights to those levels belonged to other companies, but everything else is here from what I can tell with any and all microtransactions replaced with a more traditional progression system. Now, Random Heroes is a very simple game with honestly little to nothing super special about it. If anything, it was more of a great mobile game in an era where most great mobile games consisted of just Angry Birds and Minecraft Pocket Edition. Nowadays and on PC, its greatest strength is probably its soundtrack. I mean it has…
