About the Game



Heroes of Loot combines the action of twin-stick shooters with the dungeon crawling of rogue-likes. You'll find yourself in the middle of hordes of ghosts, skulls, cyclops, critters, and much more. Survive using quick reflexes, level up to improve your weapon, and if you have time, complete some quests for extra loot and upgrades.

Heroes of Loot draws much inspiration from the original 80s classic Gauntlet games, combined with Robotron and Smash-TV-style gameplay.

There are various secrets to uncover, hidden rooms full of unique items to find, and perma-items to find and collect for extra power.
So, how deep into the dungeon can you go?

Play it alone, or with a co-op buddy.. just be sure to share the loot, healing potions, weapons, and shields...
...or not, and sacrifice your buddy for your own gain!



Heroes of Loot is a dungeon crawler like no other: Every time you play, the dungeon will be different, and every time you become better, the dungeon will also grow and become more dangerous.

This game will learn from you!
