Disposable Heroes

Disposable Heroes is a co-op adventure about four unlikely villagers sent to save a kingdom that has lost its sunlight. You can play alone or with a friend, fighting across the land to find the king’s son and bring back his head so the light can return.

Story

When the king’s son is born, the sun disappears. The townsfolk demand that the king sacrifice the child, and after two years of darkness, hunger and sickness, the king decides to do so. The boy escapes through a secret passage and flees into the forest. The king’s best soldiers do not return from the dark lands, so he sends four villagers to kill the boy and bring back his head. They are the only four villagers left.

Levels and combat

The game has more than 140 levels, with random bonus levels, secret passages and hidden rooms. You fight more than 90 kinds of enemies using swords, magic wands and flying orbs, and can use magical potions. Levels also contain traps such as poison arrows and cutting lasers, as well as bosses too large to fit on screen.

Heroes and extras

You can choose from four hero characters. The game also includes bags of gold, randomly spawning useless items, magical flying goats and guest appearances such as Robin Hood. Its presentation features an animated cutscene, voice acting, narration, heroic music and wacky humor.
