- Twin-stick shooter fans who want bombs and elemental ammunition
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a story-led adventure may find the repeated arena runs too combat-focused.
- Players who dislike restarting runs and adapting to changing enemy and resource placement may hit a wall with the roguelite structure.
Our take on Hertz
The bounce point arrives when a run depends on surviving Steel Sentinel swarms while gathering upgrade resources. Players seeking a fixed level sequence may lose interest as enemy types, spawn locations, and resource placement change between playthroughs.
What is Hertz?
Hertz is a top-down twin-stick roguelite shooter set in a robotic world.
Players control Lizzy and can unlock Bambi, Foxy, and Rabby bots, each with upgrade possibilities. Combat includes bombs, mines, missiles, and special ammunition with metal, poison, fire, or ice effects. Destroying enemies and breakable blocks provides resources for improving the selected bot. More than 60 upgrades can be combined into different builds. Levels vary through randomized enemy types, spawn locations, and resource distribution, changing encounters between runs. Steel Sentinels guard the resources, so each run combines arena combat, material gathering, and upgrade selection.
