Our take on No Heroes Here
Rather than centering a lone heroic champion, the game makes coordinated teamwork the main structure: each participant takes a role in defending castles. Its premise also replaces conventional heroic figures with a group of non-heroes rebuilding a fallen kingdom.
What is No Heroes Here?
No Heroes Here is a cooperative castle-defense game for one to four players, with local and online play.
Players coordinate roles, craft and use items, and defend castles while restoring the Kingdom of Noobland. Solo play is available, as is joining online matches with other players. The game includes three regions, each with different mechanics, enemies, and quirks, plus twelve enemy types. Players can recruit additional non-heroes during the journey. Normal mode can be replaced by Hardcore mode, where each player has a single life. Defensive equipment includes cannonballs and roasted chickens, and the story follows the Last Hero of Noobland's mission to recover the King's lost lucky charms.
