Our take on Spooky Heroes
The survival mode gives the second player control of the monsters on screen, turning two-player play into a contest to defeat the first player.
What is Spooky Heroes?
Play as a knight investigating strange events, including undead rising at night and hostile creatures blocking travelers.
Recruit heroes with distinct powers and play styles, then explore 19 stages and 5 villages. Fight 22 enemy types and 13 bosses, complete quests across 5 categories, and collect money from enemies, quests, and treasure chests.
