Do you enjoy hack-n-slash but longed for a bit more? Maybe you like tower defense games but find them a bit boring? Heldric is a unique mix of the same old styles of game with a few new twists. A hack-n-slash without endless level grinding. A tower defense game with more action. A game where you don't play as an epic hero, but as a humble shoemaker who must work together with his fellow villagers to defend their home.
Build and upgrade the village quickly before the attack waves start. Each building you place adds unique abilities to not only the player's character, but your fellow villagers as well. You must choose your structures wisely, as there are only a limited amount of plots available on each map. Every villager contributes to your coin income and provides essential help in defending the town. You must help them defend against waves of monsters intent on killing everyone. Do you have what it takes to survive?
- Build and upgrade town structures each with their own bonus effects and unlocks
- Defend the village against monstrous waves of evil attacks of goblins, orcs, spiders, trolls and more
- Protect the kingdom one village at a time in campaign mode
- Randomized villagers, each with different amount of courage and weapon knowledge
- Randomized monsters, each with different armor parts and weapons
- Smash, kick, puncture and explode the enemy to send their corpse flying with rag-doll effects
- Place explosive powder kegs as traps, or drop them in a group like grenades
- Experience many rich and unique environments
- Special events such as Christmas and Halloween that change normal maps and player
- Bonus maps for special events with unique game play
- Earn achievements from your success
Just updated with bonus Christmas, Halloween and other maps, improved graphics.

Edit: the game is now free, which is a nice gesture. It's worth playing for free and at least trying it - but dont get your hopes up.
This is a really unsatisfying, ugly game to play that does nothing it tries to accomplish well. Combat stinks, the controls stink, the building stinks and is really linear, and all and all it's just a bland game.
Kind of a mixed bag in this one. Honestly I think I would give it a neutral review if that was an option. That said, it all seemed to work, so it is hard to give it a thumbs down.
For starts though, it isn't a tower defense game in any sense of the term of I familiar with. As I bought it for that reason, I was initially disappointed. To be honest, I'm not sure what to call it. Maybe a mini-RTS of sorts?
You build a small village, the buildings doing a variety of things. Some collect resources, some open up new building times, many can be upgraded. Some are traps to hurt the monsters, some force them into pathways where you can try to bottle neck them.
You do control a main character, I assume the guy in the title, though I never made any shoes with him. He can run around, explore and even find treasure on occasion, or kill wild animals, but when the game warns of an attack, he does need to be involved in the defense of the settlement.
You do not keep a single settlement, each scenario you have to build anew, but each time around you do end up with more options and will end up, if things go well, with a bigger collection of buildings that the previous scenarios.
I got some fun out of it, though I got bored and wandered away well before the end. Hopefully this review will help you get an idea of if it is your cup of tea or not.
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A RATHER SIMPLE AND RELAXING GAME THIS IT.I finished a ripped version from The Pirate Bay some years ago and I liked it so I bought the game from Steam.This is what I would like to see in the game if the developer is still improving it:the hero gains experience after each kill;after the monsters are killed they leave behind random items like armour and weapons that can improve your hero's stats;a random map generator;more hero abilities.I do not know if any of those additions can be put into the game today or into a DLC or future game but they can really transform the game into something special.If some of those improvements are in the game please excuse my ignorance.The suggestions I made are based on an old ripped version and maybe the newer versions contain some of them.
This game has a very interesting concept, but it needs a lot of work. You are tied down to placing objects in specific locations, progression is linear (not in a good way), and pathfinding is horrendous. Tried to get my money back, but was rejected because of how long I owned the game before actually playing it. Don't be fooled with the 2.6hrs played, I couldn't stand the game past 14 minutes, and I only put more time in to at least get the trading cards, to sell, to get some of my money back.
I first played this before I knew steam was a thing. I loved it. So much that I bought it on steam. There have been a few other games that have come out trying to fuse together the genre that this game does. They however have been less successfull.
This game is one of a few gems that stand out in the indy field.
Very Buggy.
Funny little tactical game. On the whole I like it. However two points make me angry:
1. Character is often stuck and cannot move or do anything.
2. AI occasionally wanders around and waits for something unclear.
Also it would be nice if there were more content: weapon choices, upgrades, enemies, orders for villagers etc.
This Game is Good enough I think, but it really nice if you give some slot of equipment. and also still difficult to control the character especialy for attack the enemy. nice game Indie
The game controls on this are right up there with Superman 64. The character goes from being stuck to lurching across the screen. Targeting is made difficult because of this clunky design. Got as far as the tutorial before bailing on it. The game is just barely churning along on my gaming laptop which makes no sense considering how low res everything is at maximum. I'm not concerned with graphics over playability, but the game's performance is a struggle at best.
Fun short game playing as sort of village elder guard village from monster attack.
I feel like an absolute fool for buying this game.
Reminds me of a school project - totally amateur.
Controls are bad, gameplay is bad, everything is bad.
This is a great game with a more casual feel about it. Brilliant if you find yourself wanting to jump in and play for short periods at a time.
The game itself has a nice feel about it and looks great. One of the most amazing parts is that it was made by just one single dev. He has continued to update this game from release and many of the negative reviews reflect release bugs that have been corrected or removed now. Althought the game is not 100% perfect, the few bugs and flaws are not game-breaking and in some way add to the charm of this nice little game.
If you like tower defense games -- Give it a go.
If you like hack and slash games -- Give it a go.
If you are expecting something Diablo-esque -- Stop thinking that and give it a go!
7/10 - Great fun and the hours you can spend in this game make the pricetag well and truly worth it!
I like the opening cutscenes. So hilarious. Okay, [Heldric] is not the great or 'deep' one as many pointed out. It reminds me of [Hinterland] in many ways. That's all. I have enjoyed [Hinterland] so much and have enjoyed [Heldric] too. But it's definitely not the one which we can recommend to everyone. Nevertheless, I myself think [Heldric] should receive more attention.
This is not a hack and slash, or city builder. This is a tower defense game with the ability to click and send the main character to attack. It's not particularly action oriented or exciting. I was very disappointed with my purchase and should have just held out for http://www.northernshadow-game.com/home.html which is what I really wanted in this game.
The concept and idea's around it are great, I love the old DIY start from scratch and build your way up kinda game, but right now this game has alot to live up to.
First of all a game of this genre/idea should automatically be a definate open world, not a set everything for the player so all he has to do to make an indefendable village is press a few buttons,
Secondly the game is to easy, after making a fun open world adventure making the game a true survival is definatly a big key, resources should be scarse, or for the current games state, "in existance" and you should have to control your attacks rather than clicking on a single enemy and destroying an entire hoarde of goblins,
Lastly is content, nobody likes a game where you are stuck with the same weapon and only have a couple enemy's to fight and a few buildings to build, we want lots of different weapons to suit our style of play, different enemy's to regularly challenge the player and multiple buildings so that theres an element of choice, much like state of decay for example.
Overall this game has a good concept and ideas but has a long way to come before it is worth the money, so until this game changes this review wont.
Well its a good concept, but the idea kinda falls flat with this game. not enought content for the price... and its only $10! I usually rate games based on how much i play them, even after winning "the game". so 100 hours in a $40 game is a good buy for me. this game just lacks the content to keep me entertained even for $10. there is 'challange' mode.. but why? it doesn't even work how I wished it would, there is no 'endless' mode, witch there is a BUTTON for it after you win every map, but you can't do it!? but I dont really even see a point in that, most games i have build everything there is to build by the end of the map and i'm just mashing 'next wave' due to boredom killing wild life. I want more buildings, higher level upgrades, bigger waves, catastrophic death!
its fun for what it is, just need about another year of development before 'fun'.
The game is great in concept but the issues it has make it suffer far to much. There is no real camera movement, making moving across the map to upgrade buildings a real pain. Bad or repetitive sound effects.
Repetitive enemies / maps
Not a lot of strategy needed for building / unit positioning, or much that can be done with units.
Combat is not that gripping.

I think this is a good game for what it is, it's definitely not "dreadful" like some other indie games that come to mind. The developer stated that this is a casual game, and he is on spot with that statement, if you like flash games/arcade style defense games this is right up your alley. It's not ultra involved, but it's not supposed to be. I'd like to see them update it with some more variation modes like some other reviewers pointed out, and in that case it would cover a much larger scope, but as it stands it's an enjoyable little game with a very reasonable price tag.
Great concept, lot of potential, but needs a lot of work.
I know the developer said this was aimed at the casual gamer, but I think with more features it'd be a truly stand out game. Current issues as I see them are:
Quite a few bugs
Repetitive enemies / maps
Not a lot of strategy needed for building / unit posistioning
Lack of overall narrative
With a bit more polish I'd change my review to recommended in a heartbeat.
It's an interesting concept, but it needs a lot of work. Pathfinding is very problematic, units slide across the screen, no real camera movement (other than a slight zoom in out), and bad/missing sound effects.
