About This Game Has-Been Heroes is a challenging, lane-based roguelike game of strategy and action, featuring a band of heroes on a quest to escort the King's twin princesses to school!Players control three characters during the journey and must focus on coordinating melee attacks, managing cooldowns and combining hundreds of different spells to create devastating combo effects, all in order to defeat an endless army of undead, summoned in their path by the Great Ghoul!The rewarding strategy game features irreverent humor, expanding world maps and increasing levels of difficulty, compounded by the specter of permadeath. The massive quantity and randomness of spells and items, as well as additional unlockable heroes allow for thousands of new experiences, forcing players to change their playstyle each time they start a new game.STORYLINEThe teeth of time chew on even the bravest of champions, and there comes a time when wizened old mages and warriors are just one last adventure away from retirement. Thankfully, a young rogue joins the heroic Has-Been Heroes, for who else can read the tiny text on those potion bottles and assist the “rusty” crew? The rogue comes along not a moment too soon, for King Fortinbrax has summoned his oldest, most trusted heroes for a final, epic quest. The heroes must escort the twin Princesses Avaline and Beatrix to a faraway Academy (to school!)- but the road is long and fraught with peril.FEATURESControl three characters across three lanes, coordinate their attacks and spells to defeat an incoming horde of enemies!Plan your route carefully on the randomly generated maps filled with surprises! Travel through merchants, spell vendors, treasure chests and other crossroad locations to boost your character’s powers… but be vary not to succumb to the darkness!A combination of turn-based and RTS game mechanics featuring easy-to-learn basics that are tough to master and evolve into frantic complexity. Discover new tricks and hidden features after hours of gameplay!Meet the epic band of heroes as the young and eager Rogue, joining the company of the wise monk Metacles and the giant-wrestling warrior Crux… and discover a band of long lost friends, such as the Anthropologist turned Mexican Wrestler, the ever-vigilant and paranoid Bodyguard, and many more!Unlock and collect hundreds of game-changing items and spells, boosting the heroes' powers and making each run unique! 300+ spells, 200+ items, 13 regions, and 12 playable heroes!In roguelike fashion, die and try again! Each run is different due to randomized maps, spells, items, and enemies. With each level the length of gameplay increases, compounded by the peril of instant death, which forces the player to start over from the beginning. 7aa9394dea Title: Has-Been HeroesGenre: Action, Indie, RPG, StrategyDeveloper:FrozenbytePublisher:GameTrust GamesRelease Date: 28 Mar, 2017 Has-Been Heroes Download By Apunkagames Great game. At start i was a little down because i thought i will do a campaign or something and i will watch a funny story or something. But its a great casual game mainly, you can play small turns like 20min games. Its not easy for sure. Has many locked items which is good because you manage to learn easier how to use what you have. So its a game worth its money for sure. Boting clicker with a drop of tactics.. Great potential, but:- enemy overlap sometimes makes targeting difficult; this art style does not allow for so many overlapping enemies on a single lane - the sprites hit boxes are too large- lane switching is way too fiddly; I don't want to have to waste an attack in order to then "bubble-sort" my heroes; why is it not possible to switch lane outside of attack animations?- the drag-n-drop lane switching is unnecessarily convoluted; one-click lane switching would have been way more convenient [not actually true, see edit below]- I can't for the life of me figure out how to switch lanes when a hero is not in an attack animation; it might not even be possible, which makes dealing with some randomly teleporting enemies a total gamble- the music is repetitive and uninspired; I get that the overall satire, but there's really not need to vex me with that stupid flute and same-y trumpet*DEFINITELY* not worth the $20 asking price, but it could have been and that's a damn shame.========== REVIEW UPDATE ==========A couple of super helpful people have pointed out a few things, which calls for an update of this review. Here goes:I previously implied that lane switching could only be done through drag-n-drop; this is not true, lane switching can apparently also be done by scrolling with the mousewheel, which is significantly better than drag-n-drop, I imagine.Concerning lane switching being impossible outside of attack animations, I should clarify: I understand that it's intentional, I just don't think that it works well. I imagine this would have been experimented with at prototype phase and isn't an oversight. It's not that I can't fight with this mechanic in place, but when the thing you have to do is match your attacks to armor values there emerge many situations where I have to waste attacks and this completely breaks my flow. Maybe I'm jut that bad at puzzles, but I don't think so, it's not that complex a mechanic, it's just... annoying for me.I have NOT played two hundred hours of this game. I have played a total of maybe five-ish hours.I still don't think $20 is a fair price for this game.
