Heroes Unhinged

Heroes Unhinged is an action game where you choose a hero, destroy stages and fight enemies. Its 20 heroes have different abilities and play styles, from the Reanimator, who raises exploding humanoid blobs, to the Goblineer, who builds auto turrets. The Onna-Musha fires arrows that curve toward enemies, the Pyro Maniac starts fires, Poof enters a teleporting attack frenzy, Calm Fist summons bells that blast waves, and the Ice Cream Man calls in an ice cream truck. Five stages are available to destroy.

Destruction and enemies

Every stage is completely destructible. Some patrol missions ask you to destroy a percentage of a stage or a set number of structures. As destruction increases, enemies grow in number, health and damage, and new enemy types begin to appear. Once most of a stage is destroyed, its leader arrives to stop you; causing enough destruction can also bring out a super villain.

Power points and cosmic powers

You earn power points and can assign them to the stats you want to improve, changing each character’s natural strengths and weaknesses to shape your play style. As you destroy a stage, you may find cosmic hands and the Watcher, which drop crystals that grant a random assortment of cosmic powers. The 10 powers can summon floating orbs, trigger cosmic explosions or provide passive healing. Some are always active, some activate with every hero attack or ability, and others have a chance to activate with them.

The Watcher may appear at any time, offering cosmic powers as gifts and selling crystals that enhance stats. If you already have cosmic powers, he can offer to replace or upgrade them for a price. After each stage, your stats return to their initial values, giving you a fresh start.

Patrol missions

From the Hall of Heroes, you can choose an optional patrol mission for a random unlocked location. Tasks include eliminating a set number of enemies or structures, or collecting fragments. Completing a mission rewards you with a large number of fragments and a portal back to the Hall of Heroes.

Tiers and rewards

You can spend some fragments to raise the tier of the next stage you enter. Higher tiers increase the number of enemies and the health and damage they start with, while also increasing fragment drops. Every 10 tiers adds a random modifier that gives the stage a new twist. You collect crystal fragments to unlock characters, stages, power points, modifiers and cosmic power colors, and can store fragments at the Hall of Heroes if you survive.
