Shield Hero

Shield Hero is an arena combat game about surviving waves of enemies with a mysterious, evolving shield. Wrenched from your world and without memories of your past, you fight in a hostile arena and seek a way home. The shield serves as both your defense and your weapon.

Shield combat

Block, parry and redirect enemy attacks, and position your shield to protect yourself or ricochet attacks back at foes. You can charge it to unleash energy bursts, fire destructive beams and use other powers.

Evolve your shield

Defeating enemies unlocks a progression system where you discover and upgrade shield abilities. Expand the shield, fire projectile bursts or overcharge it for explosive power. Combining abilities creates synergies that let you develop your own combat style.

New Game+ raises the challenge with tougher, faster enemies. You can also choose from four modes: Standard, Hard, Turbo and Boss Rush.

Enemies and co-op

Enemies range from swarming hordes to screen-filling bosses with distinct attack patterns. In local co-op, you can team up with a friend and use the Echo Clone mechanic to create an AI ally.

The game also includes achievements to unlock by mastering the shield.
