He is Coming - and he has brought the release trailer with him. A pixel roguelite with addictive potential
30 bosses, 350 powerful artefacts, countless character builds, one game: He is Coming is here. If you like roguelite games and reduced pixel graphics, you won't just play this one fleetingly, you'll get hooked.
With its retro look, He is Coming looks like the very entertaining Loop Hero or the puzzle roguelike Kaamos, but plays a little differently. The roguelite auto-battler with RPG elements developed by Chronocle lets you search for powerful weapons and artefacts in a pixel world populated by many enemies. You'll need them, because there are also 30 sinister bosses waiting to be dismantled by your pixel hero. Before the Demon King gets the chop in the finale.
Adapt your hero to the circumstances in this RPG roguelite. All enemies react differently to the various weapons, attacks and other items. Decisions always have to be made quickly, because you don't have much time to act as you roam the fantasy world. More than 350 items make He is Coming varied: try out the most diverse combinations for your character builds until you are optimally equipped for every boss fight. Do you prefer heavy armour or items that increase your attack power and speed, for example? Items such as the saffron feather can heal you in battle - but tracking down the feather also costs valuable time.
He is Coming even offers you a multiplayer mode. In Kingmaker mode, you can pit your build against those of other players - completely asynchronously. Every victory is nice. But defeats are part and parcel of a roguelite like He is Coming. To explore the advantages and disadvantages of equipment. To explore areas, only to realise that a different path would have been better. You'll be smarter the next time you try it.
He is Coming is now here and ready to go (in Early Access). And publisher Hooded Horse also has the release trailer. Enjoy the opulent graphics! But be warned: initial tests attest to the game's high addictive potential.
