I need a hero!

GN Version 5.0

Roguelike Hero is a “Silly” action game. You play as a shameless hero who lives in a shabby apartment. You fight dirty and with no shame of throwing one or two sucker punches. Inspired by Stephen Chow’s trolling comedy style, the game presents an absurd and funny action experience with trolling mechanics. You can expect to see more despicable and interesting implementation of classic action game mechanics and witness the growth of the clownish, hilarious yet justice and brave protagonist.

[Game Features]

「Playing as a hero that doesn’t deserve to be called one」

Our main character is a walk-on actor, struggling to get a good role. What you might find here are far from those heroic cliche such as monster and princess but a bunch of hilarious and interesting mess.

「Absurd mechanics, animations and features that would make you laugh so hard」

Each stage is an action movie set piece and players fight through various enemies with absurd and silly ways to complete the filming. You are about to experience a unique comedy plot that I will not spoil it for you right now :P and a fun combat system that enables both button mashing and skilled gameplay.

「Huge pool of items, gears, enemies variants and endless combination potentials」

There are a big number of trolling weapons and moves such as the fart counter move and not to mention our favorite spit attack. You may also encounter a variety of bosses that are challenging and fun.

Roguelike Hero has been announced for Switch, but it doesn't have a release date yet. The title support Japanese, English, and Chinese languages.
