What is Hammerheart?
Hammerheart is a single-player action roguelike in Early Access, set in the early tenth century, where you command an Anglo-Saxon force against Vikings. Each run randomizes maps, encounters, and loot as you fight, position companions, treat injuries, and distribute equipment. Death sends you back to the start, costing you all your loot and companions.
