The Heroes



Each Hero has a different mix of abilities to match their genre, such as bashes, dodges, and defensive blocks.
Play as …





  • The Soldier: A classic take-no-prisoners, trigger-happy Hero from your standard shooter games, has good range and is all out of bubble-gum.
  • The Knight: For Honor, for Victory! Or For Fun! The medieval warrior brandishes a big two-handed sword, and a swift arming shortsword.

  • The Pirate: Just searching for some splendid booty now and again, Argo the Pirate has a deadly sabre, and if things get too out of hand, he can use an off-Hand Pirate Flintlock.
  • The Wizard: With a deadly mix of Flame and Lighning attacks, the Wizard is explosive but a bit on the squishy side.
  • The Dwarf: Hailing from the Mines of Shortan'Wide, Gimply the Dwarf pummels people with his giant blessed hammer.
  • The Ninja: Fast, agile, attacks with quick devasting lunge-kicks and roundhouses. If your enemy strays too far, pick them off with a few well aimed shurikens!
  • The Bulk: A giant mass of a failed science experiment, the Bulk is nearly unstoppable and clobbers most foes with ease, and can fling them around the battleground with ease.
  • and MORE TO COME!



More updates will be released as I come closer to Launch. More Enemies, Vehicles, and definitely new Heroes ....
