Crackshell has announced that Heroes of Hammerwatch II is now available for PC players via Steam. After just two days of release, the roguelite ARPG sits at a comfortable “Very Positive” rating, with over 400 players providing reviews.
A rogue-lite action-rpg brimming with randomly generated levels, deep customization, and rich persistent progression. Battle your way through the perilous Dark Citadel, collecting powerful equipment and trinkets that unlock game-changing upgrades and abilities. This unique mix of permanent equipment in the style of action-RPGs, along with run-defining rewards from its rogue-lite roots, results in a compelling experience where you are sure to get something new out of every run, always progressing in some way, with no two runs the same.
A launch day trailer provides viewers with a peek at the top-down gameplay and its retro pixel look for those who like that sort of thing. In addition, the team has released a demo to let fence-sitters have a peek at how it plays prior to making a purchase.
