    Slot Heroes Video Gameplay

    Do you like what you see?
    What would you add to that game?

    Seems a bit too random right now. I LOVE the character designs, but how will you make it so the game doesn't play itself?

    Two things I'd love to see (taken from King's Cashing):

    - More reels -- more reels has a bigger 'oomph' and gives you more chance to 'win'.

    - Equipment/items/something that increases the chance of certain items showing up the reels. For instance, assuming you have a rock/paper/scissors system, I might want to equip something that would make more mages show up, because I'm fighting enemies that are physical resistance (or something like that)

    What effects do the differents hats/characters/weapons have on the gameplay?

    It's not obvious when you look at the video but the player must tap the reels to choose the gear he wants to equip.

    For now the difference between equipment is damage dealt, extra HP and speed.

    We'll post more details on the gameplay soon.

    Thanks for your comment and I hope you keep giving your thoughts on the game.

    It looks like a good idea. I saw something similar by Hexage called Robotek. It's a similar setup with a bit of a "Rock Paper Scissors" kinda vibe too. I'd give this game a shot, since the colorful graphics and funny characters amuse me so.

    It looks fun, especially if we have online multiplayer. If you're releasing on TestFlight, I'd love to give a try.

    Gameplay details

    Hello everyone,

    As I promised yesterday, here is more details on the gameplay mechanics.

    Feel free to ask any questions and to give us your opinion which is very important make this game better.

    Thank you guys!


    GAMEPLAY:

    1. Filling your chest.

    The first step is to decide how many coins you want to put in your chest. Coins are the chest's hit points. The more coins you put in it, the better are your odds of winning.

    2. Spawning heroes

    To choose your heroes' gear, stop each reels by tapping it at the moment of your choice. When the head gear, body gear and weapon are chosen, the hero spawns.



    So what do you think of it people?

    From the vids, I can't quite tell what I'd add. Though, I'm up for beta testing! Looks great! Love the graphics and characters! Maybe a few other heroes with their own themes? And differently themed maps? Bluetooth enabled multiplayer would be cool too. Or through gamecenter

    Could have trophies based on weapon kills. 50 wins with excalibacon(love it!) gives you a golden excalibacon trophy. You could even somewhat go along the lines of jetpack joyride and give golden weapons based on achievements

    Looks good and your ideas sound promising, I would love to beta-test this :) I don't know if your game will contain much text (it's not always needed) but I'd gladly help you translating to French if you'd like ;)

    Just saw you're from Québec, you probably won't need translating :p
