Herolike

Herolike is a hack-and-slash roguelike RPG with classic ARPG-inspired combat. You take a hero on the rise through a world threatened by Evil, make choices in battles and moral encounters, collect items, and customize a town that persists between runs.

The world and its encounters

The world is held together by the Earth Stone, an ancient, powerful mechanism that Evil seeks to corrupt and use to bring destruction. You choose a hero, learn from mistakes, make your actions known throughout the land and set out to vanquish Evil.

A randomized world map lets you choose a route. Its encounters include hack-and-slash fights, artifact defense, boss fights and RPG-based choice missions. Across seven locations inspired by thematic biomes and dungeons, you face 30 unique enemies, including three bosses, each with strengths and weaknesses to learn and exploit.

Heroes and equipment

Choose from five character classes: Guardian, Barbarian, Hunter, Shaman and Trickster. Random environmental hazards include cold, darkness, exploding mines and killer fog, while treasure chests and power-ups can provide immediate benefits.

You can purchase swords, axes, shields, staffs, off-hand focuses, rune stones, potions, explosives and other items. The game also tracks statistics for your current run and for all games played.

Build your town

Construct eight buildings in your town; they persist from one game to another. The game also includes Steam Achievements and Trading Cards.
