Hero Siege

очень странная игра, за 500 часов в игре не упала ни одна ангельская вещь, что очень огорчает
интерес к игре угасает, пожалуйста, поработайте над шансом выпадения ангельских вещей
мало интересного контента и разнообразия в игре.

Kill mobs, get stronger, kill more mobs, but stronger ones, good game

Scratches the nostalgia D2 itch

Why does the game always crash when i click on "Hero Level" tab on the Talent/Skill Menu? Devs, help!

Still better than Diablo IV

wtf where is the coop split screen modus for 2 Players? I can't find it anymore?! is it hidden somewhere??? wait... whhhaaaaaaat?? All my games are deleted? Not really guys!11!!!

I really like this game for a kind of chill rouge lite game but when I went to look at the other day, the game was no longer available on Mac, even though I had been playing in on a Mac since I bought it. Very disappointed that I won't be able to play this, and there was no warning that the game would no longer be supported for Mac users.

I don't understand, I swear this game was quite different years ago.

Strange Finland Dev Refuse Success...

A lot of hate is levied at this games monetisation and changes but I honestly don't care too much about these things but what I won't accept is horrible game design.

For clarity Ive played alot of games and after playing as the fire mage I have to say this is the worst design of a fire mage I have ever seen in a video game which is crazy because there is so many good designs already to copy from. On top of this enemy mobs are lifeless zombies that give zero positive feedback to the player when defeating them.

But for me the most horrific issue with the game and is so so common these days is devilishly awful boss design. It just not fun full stop. I was a shock to me that this game even has a hardcore mode given the servers are totally the worst Ive ever played on even though Im inside europe. You can expect 100+ ping while you try to dodge insta kill mechanics my last death is the perfect example of what Id called an unforgivable.

I mastered the bosses moveset and actually died to move stacking in which the game for classic arbitrary difficulty adds stacked instakills. Now because my character has never ever faced needing to dodge/jump further than the already generous jump I did not have a move that can go from 1 side of the map to the other side. Not only was I set up to fail Im not sure it would have even made much difference given the boss collision blocked where I would have needed to diagonally jump to. Now many games can be forgiven for mistakes but this game is 10+ years in the making so the fault is on their mindset at this point.

Overall this game has reminded me of prior cases in which you get an incredible game dev artist that carries a game to be sold far more than it should of. That is because this game really isnt that special, it has the same awful loot system from the worst of diablos bad monetisation and terrible gameplay with bosses that will make you sigh in disappointment.

Its all so tiresome at this point this game could fulfill a needed role for 2d pixel diablo but instead its just a total mess and I can promise you based on the philosophy present this game is never getting fixed. What you see here and what you hear in terms of complaints are all real and are NEVER going away so buyer beware if you choose to buy this game. I 100% do not recommend you buy any classes before you test the game at least up til level 50.

My journey through the dark depths of steam for hidden gems continues and sadly this game just isn't good not worthy of your time, maybe replay POE if you get that ARPG itch gamers.

This has not been the original fun Hero Siege that it was years ago and I'd recommend to avoid giving money to these devs, unless it's on sale for under €0.99 or someone gifts you a key that they found written on the back of a burning dumpster in Brooklyn.

When the game first came out, it was really fun and refreshing. A few years later they changed it completely into a diablo-like game, which wasn't really cool to suddenly find that all your progress is erased and the game is completely different than what you paid for, but still had some of the old fun elements and options in the Settings menu.

Today, they've further changed the game and completely monetized almost everything they can, made the menu a bit worse and more limited.

Like, get this s**t for example - they frickin monetized the option for the loot auto-pickup with loot type preferences and turned it into a "companion" DLC for 4.99€. You don't get any lower than this in life, I tell you that.

The devs apparently don't even know that in this universe it's actually possible to create a separate iteration/version of the game and call it Hero Siege 2 or 3 or Ultimate D2 Copy-Pasta Edition or whatever else they wanted. They didn't have to ruin the perfectly fun game we had all those years ago. Severely disappointed in their lack of brain activity, honestly.

feels like a Phone game with all the microtransactions and the shop. there's even a monthly subscription. maybe the game is ok later in, but the in game shop getting spammed in my face had a bad first impression. wouldn't recommend

good roguelike game

Fantastic game milked to death by overly focusing on DLC. There seems to be an emphasis on "how can we squeeze that little extra out of people".

The game is a great little ARPG. If you're looking for something with a Diablo 2 vibe, great pixel art, and crunchy skills, it's fun.
The game is old, and the dev has made certain things DLC purchases, which I don't hate. I bought the class I wanted and had a good time.
However, if you're playing coop, there's a glaring problem my girlfriend and I couldn't get around.
Your ally AOEs use the same danger-warning circles as bosses.

Meaning, during a boss fight, when the boss is about to do an AOE, the visual warning it gives you is the same one used for your ally abilities.
There's a setting to change the opacity of ally abilities themselves, but the danger ring shows up fully regardless of that setting.
There is no way to hide it.
If this setting changes, we'll come back and play the game.
But as of right now, bosses are unplayable with multiple players due to not know what circles are hostile and what are friendly.

look the games pretty fun, honestly feels really niche. i get it supposed to pay homage to D2 or something, but man devs for real why the hell we copy pasting the potion mechanic, and cube crafting system, and runes.... like these are unfun mechanics that only hinder the player experience. you need to streamline the gameplay. i dont want stop my gameplay to manage these stupid systems i already have ptsd from D2 from. like the game gives you a ingame loot filter so its clear someone there knows what QoL is. if we gunna copy stuff just copy the POE potion system. furthermore on a similar note, LET ME CHANGE THE GAME FONT, is that a plus, is that a minus? let me stop my gameplay once again to squint in and read this god awful font. i know your going for the D2 thing but for real the game gets a ZERO in accessibility. the AI is janky aswell, both player merc and enemy ai get stuck on things. and look the list goes on, both positive and negative. even though im gunna keep playing for now, i would not recommend the game as its in a weird state and i guess subject to change completely at any moment, if you have to try this game wait for the sale, and just get the base game. it comes with 8 characters more than enough to experience it for yourself.

A cool game wha I have bought in steam sale

Where do we begin even?

At first this was a pretty good rogue lite game, around the mid-2010s and people had fun, coming back into it I saw that it started to attempt to look like one of those many Diablo clones. Come 2023 the devs for some god forsaken reason decided to cut local co-op for reasons unbeknownst to mankind.

Diablo IV is greedy, but this game somehow outmatched it in that prospect.

You are charged real time money for the barest of minimums, like extra stash, extra character slots and all that shit. The season rewards need to be paid for and there's no free stuff, this is for a game that you paid for by the way, not one of those free-to-play but pay-to-win types.

I can take all of that, that's all fine and dandy as long as my partner and I have a game that we can enjoy, but with LOCAL cut off (We have two PCs and we play this game without interference from LAG or TIMEOUTS) before we also got to enjoy split screen coop, but now.

F**cking hell, we live under the same roof and we have to be ONLINE to even play it together.

FREQUENT DISCONNECTS TOO WHICH RESETS OUR PROGRESS EACH DAMNED TIME, LOSING BOTH LOOT AND WHATEVER IT IS THAT WE MANAGED TO CLEAR.

THIS GAME AND ITS DEVS ARE GREEDY SONS OF B!TCHES CHARGING YOU FOR EVERY ACTION BUT THEY CAN'T EVEN FIX THEIR OWN SERVERS, WHY NOT ALLOW LOCAL AREA NETWORK COOP? HOW STUPID.

This game became so much worse when they did their "2.0" revamp. So much worse. It won't close properly or integrate with steam correctly half the time, they wiped all your previous characters and work and the UI is now centered around straight cash grabs even showing stuff you've already bought in steam as being on sale and shoved in your face. They also changed how every class plays, removing a lot of things in the name of slowing down the crazy pace the game used to be. But that was what made the original game fun. Now its just a grind, everything moves so much slower.

Also why add BS Easy Anti-cheat to further junk things up when you have no competitive scene, modding scene or anything else of the like.

I hoped they fixed things when I came back here but nope. Still buggy mess with no changes except adding yet more pointless shit to buy and not fixing any problems or streamlining things.

Paying a subscription just for a cabin? This reason alone is good enough to say no. Such a great game, such a dumb micro transaction. Get rid of that!

Microtransactions aside it's a great game but it's not for me.

tragic devs thought they knew better then the community. Now they're the only ones playing it. Games far past its prime and completely been milked dry. Don't let the 80% off sales work on you. This game is not worth the hours grinding to the end game. Keep your time and get a bag of skittles you'll be less disappointed.

This is the most "meh" ARPG ever played. While the art style itself is ok-ish, the gameloop kinda monotonous after a while... but the most offensive thing about this game is the the microtransaction... My god if i didn't know any better i would guess this was made by EA... just buy a cheese burger and a large soda instead of buying this, getting a heart attack is more thriling than playing this

It's entirely theologically satanic. There is nothing good about this game, except the movement! But, they even failed the movement mechanics with the way the worlds are designed. I got stuck in an area where its clear I should jump over some water but my character wouldn't do it.

impossible to tell what you're looking at no matter the resolution, feels thoroughly mediocre, insanely bad controller options. there are better games to play.

Too much content spread around, easily cheesable, non-existent optimization since a while ago, and the multiplayer side is always online even if you are doing solo content so it can easily lag and kill your hardcore character
It has a lot of fun mechanics, but the studio seems to need to rework the game every year or other year so they become more and different with each iteration.

Not the same game I played. By the time you read this, probably won't even be the same game I reviewed about it not being the same game I played.

I was a huge fan of the gamen then they changed it totally.
It's way less fun.

This game is a lot of fun! Very similar to the Diablo ARPG series.

Great ARPG! If you like Diablo 2 or Path of Exile this game is a great alternative

Servers seem to always function poorly.
This game is bit of an oddball.
2/5

This game is just BORING. At no point was my character in danger of taking significant damage, let alone dying. The game so closely mimics Diablo 2 you're better off just playing Diablo 2. The easiest monsters drop amazing loot and I got a "satanic" level item in the starting zone. I guess if you're a player who likes walking around and collecting loot (you don't really have to fight to get the loot the enemies die so easily to any attack) then it's the game for you. I just found it very dull.

Its not what i paid for, if i could i would refund. It should be illegal to change a product so much and not offer a refund.

Hero Siege - What started out as a really fun little roguelike with a great concept and decent quests that I routinely played with some friends, turned sour when they started pumping out DLC like the vaccines for Covid with no new content other than hero classes.

What really pushed me over the edge, though, is the sheer amount of DLC. It seems like the developers are more interested in milking players for extra cash than actually improving the game. Each new pack adds minimal content while feeling like a desperate attempt to keep the game afloat. Instead of expanding on the base game, they’ve turned it into a cash grab.

The lack of meaningful updates and the overwhelming number of microtransactions make Hero Siege feel less like a completed game and more like a money-making scheme. It’s disappointing to see a title that had potential be bogged down by poor design choices and greed. Also, the devs open mock the player-base, smart.

Save your time and money—there are far better games out there. Hero Siege is not worth the hassle!

Update came and completely changed the game, filled it with microtrans and killed it

What the hell happened to the game? It is not even the same game I bought anymore!

i loved this game till the developer decided to fuck it in the ass, now it's spewing out shit Uncontrollably, gameplay went from fast (which was the most fun aspect of the game) to slow paced bore fest.

i hope this game is put on the list of "Games that milked their playerbase and died" which is sadly a long list and even easier to get on in current year, this game was GREAT a decade ago until all the DLC reared its head and just didnt stop coming like a Brazzers Extra.

This game is way underrated. I can see the micro transaction hate though. It follows the PoE model where you buy stash tabs and cosmetics so it isnt P2W. In addition the character unlocks are more so DLC based transactions. They could bundle them by type and just make it more attractive.

For the game itself, it plays like d2 LOD. Synergy style skill tree and you generally fully level up around late Nightmare mode/ Early hell. Lots of end game progression. With a more player base it could be great with future seasons. if you like D2 or project D2 or PoE. Its worth a shot. Each class is hyper focused with 2 trees. lots of fun.

Game alright. The cost of each class ruins it for me.

God I used to love this game, I'd make multiple characters over and over just to try all the people out, each one exciting in a unique way, but now? Hell. the UI overhaul was a massive and confusing downgrade, and while all the microtransactions seemed mostly out of the way before, they are very in your face and egregious now. it's impossible to get anything done without getting annoyed, and the devs seem hellbent on making the worst possible decisions

I remember when they started working on this game. I swear it was like 2015. 2016? This game is ancient. When it came out, it was a wave-based roguelite with RPG elements that played like maybe a hybrid of Binding of Isaac and Gauntlet, a bit.
You could mash a button to spawn every wave at once if you knew you had the perfect upgrades to survive the horde, wipe everyone out and save a lotta time in the level.

The game never had gear. Equipment? Didn't exist. You had upgrades you picked up, and you had skills.

Then they added gear. It sort of played like Chronicon?

They revamp how the game *completely* works, *altogether*, every time they do a major update. There is not a current guide for the game on Steam guides because every guide now describes a different game, one with the same name, that no longer exists.

It currently plays almost exactly like a somewhat dumbed-down Diablo 2. Its controller support sucks and its control rebinding for M&K also sucks if you want to use keyboard keys to choose skills. If you didn't pick a key it likes, it shows a question mark.

Honestly, I'd *still* be recommending the game - even with its large number of overpriced "add a single character class" or even "add a single SKIN for a single character class" DLCs - but it now has nickel-and-diming microtransactions you can't even read about anywhere (except ingame when it punts you to the Steam store to buy another inventory tab for $4.99).

Are you gonna spend $4.99 on another inventory tab? I'm not sure why you would, when next month the game is probably gonna be revamped to be, I dunno, a farming simulator with dungeon diving interludes like Stardew Valley.

Are you gonna buy a character for $6? I'm not sure why you would, given that they're just gonna change the way SKILLS THEMSELVES WORK in a few months, and you'll have purchased a character you don't like to use anymore because the skilltree it used to have is gone.

Are you gonna buy this game? I'm not sure why you would.

better then D2 and D4 for endgame etc

If you like the Diablo series (particularly Diablo II) then this game is for you. One of the most nostalgic experiences for any long time Diablo players.

Not as fun as I remember. Way too many DLC's! The DLC unlocks don't carry over to mobile, I had to re-get Amazon. Don't know if they fixed that yet. Been so long, I also had to adjust the key-binds for controller. I miss the old town(s) and maps.

Just picked up the Demon spawn class, I hope it's fun. I think it flies.

At least you can press and hold down the primary attack button lol. Good ol' run-and-gun! The new tutorial area is kinda annoying. You gotta run a bigger map and do even more beginner quests. If you kill the boss before getting that specific quest, you gotta reload your game lol. I think it's a bullet hell type of game. So much stuff on the screen, Also, Seasons go on for quite some time, so no worries/ rush. I keep dying, not used to the new updates.

Even though it's got some unpleasant changes/ updates. I would recommend picking it up during a sale. Only get the dlc's on sale(s). Feels like a bit of ripoff otherwise. Mostly just classes and cosmetics, some areas though.

As a big fan of Diablo-adjacent games, I thought I'd love this game. It has a ton of class and build options, a sense of humor, and it can be run on steam deck. However, it can't stop getting in it's own way with incomprehensibly bad control design, some of which can NOT be fixed by manually re-mapping (which itself doesn't even work every time, as the game has a habit of deleting your remaps when you exit the controller options)

Where the controls go wrong, starting first with what is most easily noticed:
The skills are delegated to pressing combinations of RB, RT, LB, and LT, instead of face buttons, half of which are for different types of menus (this can be remapped)
The Select button cannot be mapped to anything
There is a different button for every possible menu, which has to be independently mapped, instead of just having one menu where you can tab between menu options
If you are on controller, you simply aren't allowed to assign more than one skill to the skill bar
Assigning skills is confusing at best
As mentioned above, there's roughly a 50% chance that anytime you leave the control re-mapping menu, that one or more of your re-maps are cleared, so if you don't know *exactly* how you want it mapped and are like me and were just trying to tweak things to make it gradually better, you're likely to end up wondering why several random button mappings are just gone

Overall, I really wish I could have gotten more deep into the skill system and the different classes, but of my 7 hrs playing this game, about 6 and a half of it were literally just trying to get the controls to have basic functionality. This is also not getting into how the game is constantly throwing ads for micro-transactions at you, and I may not have gotten far enough to really say for sure that the classes aren't balanced, the summons seemed a little too powerful in that you could summon minions into other rooms, effectively meaning that summon classes didn't even need to engage with the game, which seems like a big balance issue to me.

Really awesome game for the price :)

I can't say much because I will be honest I refunded the game. But what I can say is, I don't recommend it. Game throws a giant advertisement for all the dlc in the main menu, this has ALOT of dlc all the same price as the base game. They also require you to pay for more storage space which gets costly, you have a house in the main village but you have to pay A MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION to access. Requiring this many microtransactions in an indie is something I have never heard of and I hope most games don't do this way. Controller support is not great, menus are made like Diablo 2, but Blizzard literally made a new inventory management system for controller in Diablo 3. Apparently the game had a major overhaul recently and they did use the good style, they changed it to inventory grid management and on controller it is actually atrocious and I do not suggest using one. Game was fun but with so many issues just around the dlc's and controller I couldn't enjoy it and suggest looking elsewhere.

Lost my old account. Why would you implement a crappy third-party account system that you can't maintain properly?
