What is Heroes of Hammerwatch?
A 2D pixel-art action roguelite about climbing the procedurally generated levels of the Forsaken Spire. Each run starts in Outlook, where you upgrade the town and persistent heroes before fighting enemies, avoiding traps, solving puzzles, and collecting loot alone or in co-op.

What players say
87% of 9,539 reviews are positive · 76% of 26 in the last 30 days
Players praise the town and character progression, moment-to-moment combat, and co-op dungeon runs. The dominant complaint is a slow, repetitive grind for gold, materials, and character-specific upgrades, especially when playing solo or advancing through later runs.
