Hack and Shoot Heroes

Hack and Shoot Heroes is a twin-stick action roguelite in which you fight waves of enemies, collect loot and build a loadout. Choose from six heroes, level up during each run and prepare for boss fights across three levels.

Heroes and combat

Each hero has a different starting weapon and advantages that shape how they play. The six choices are the Knight, Firemage, Priest, Rogue, Necromancer and Stormmage, with weapons and abilities ranging from fast sword slashes and fire spells to a boomerang shuriken blade, undead summons and lightning spells. Combat combines shooting with melee attacks.

Loot and upgrades

As you level up, you choose from three randomly selected items. These can be consumables, weapons or stat-modifying items, each with a rarity that determines the strength of its enhancement. Weapons can evolve, and you can collect experience gems, coins and loot, including legendary items found in special spots.

Your inventory has limited space, so you must choose what to keep. You can skip or reroll item choices, though rerolls come at a cost. Between runs, the main-menu item shop lets you buy persistent items, including extra inventory space.

Game modes

Play Normal Mode or unlock Horde Mode, where you face climactic waves of enemies and can earn big coin rewards. Both modes include boss fights, with three simple boss fights across the game's three levels and a final boss battle.
