Hero Snake
Each run you build a new snake of heroes, combining different skills for slaying, crowd controlling, tanking, healing, and more. Unlock all the heroes and experiment with thousands of combinations and synergies.Lead the Way
Choosing a leader is critical! Each hero has a very different Leader Skill you can directly control, with a low cooldown. Time your use of jump stuns, stealth attacks, fire bombs, frost novas and more to gain the advantage in battle.Escape The Hand
Your heroes are trapped by an AI singularity that calls itself The Hand. At an arcade in 1989, it started kidnapping high-scoring gamers. Turned their flesh into bits. Tempted them with loot. And then killed them, over and over.Grow Stronger
Collect tokens that permanently unlock various advantages in the world. Find new heroes and loot to grow permanently stronger as you uncover the secrets of Helmscape and discern the motivations of your captor.[/url
