    You Are Going On An Adventure!

    Hordes of Heroes is a Match-3 RPG placing the player in the role of a medieval Hero whose quest is to set out and save the kingdom from evil doers, ne’er-do-wells and generally unsavory characters. Along the way, you can unlock new powers, gain tons of loot, and find real-life friends on the battlefields to help you in your quests.

    While the controls and gameplay are instantly familiar to veterans of the Match-3 Puzzle genre, Horde of Heroes’ satirical story-driven fantasy world, multiple game modes, in-depth social features, visual style, and loot-driven character advancement makes it a unique experience.

    FEATURES:
    • Over 1,000,000 Combinations of loot, like Armor, Weapons, and Items.
    • Fun (optional) Social Features through Facebook, like helping others fight in the same area with your hero.
    • Progress through a story or go along just for new loot, rankings, or fun.
    • More Info Coming Soon

    Release Date: April 24, 2014
    Platform: Universal
    Price: Free To Play


    About the Free To Play: Being free to play allows us to bring Horde of Heroes to the widest audience possible by eliminating the paid barrier of entry. To ensure that we made our free to play experience as fair and fun as possible, we made each member of our team complete the game without spending any money.

    Nice... One of my favorite devs putting some effort on a puzzle RPG hybrid, this should be good. Looking forward to this Everplay!

    This sounds like something I'll pick up. Can we match fluidly like in Dungeon Raid? Or is it just up, down, left and right?

    Dungeon Raid was pretty awesome when it came out, but we have the more traditional approach to Match-3. Similar to what you'd find in Bejeweled or (Apologies for the reference) Candy Crush.

    It is a bit more in-depth, with various powers to unlock and use, multiple game modes and objectives, and specialty blocks within the various stages.

    Wow, this game looks awesome, the pixel-art style and the jewels-rpg mixed mechanics are perfect to offer fun and fast gameplay.

    I dislike the games you mentioned but hope the spin on it makes it better for me as others have. I'm not much of a score chaser so I could care less about match 3 games that simply pass a level and get as high a score as you can.

    The score itself is not really the end goal. Each level is 3 Star Based, so if you do decent, you'll get 2 stars. If you barely survive, you'll get 1 Star, but you'll still pass the stage.

    If you get 3 Stars, then you are rewarded with a Bonus Chest. This could be something usable like a new weapon and cool armor or it could be a temporary bonus to health/damage/etc.

    Looks awesome, I will definetly get it.

    Can we know anything about the IAPs? I would definetly like to support the devs with buying IAP, but only if it's something that I keep permanently like a coin doubler. I never buy consumable or refiller IAPs.

    You can play the entire game without purchasing any IAPs. We'd be happy as long as you download and enjoy the game! If you enjoy it enough, maybe you'll recruit some of your friends to help you in battle, so its a win-win for both of us. :D
