While I appreciate retro style games it seems the developers took this call-back too far and while this works for something like a mobile device, when blown up on a console doesn’t have the charm of other retro titles with reworked pixel art optimized for TV’s. To do so, your heroes will have to venture deep into enemy territory and conquer every type of dungeon archetype present.Įverything in Pixel Heroes harkens back to the 8-bit era from the visuals to the soundtrack and sound effects. This wacky arcade-style game has heroic pixel figures of Jungle King Shere Khan, Real Steel champions Atom and Zeus, Cyberpunk Robocop and never-seen-before ZOMBIE WWE super stars Sasha Banks.
As the leader of a town named Pixton, your job is to employ three heroes from the local bar (complete with a hard-drinking bartender and a uppity house band playing a continuous song similar to the Figrin D’an and the Modal Nodes' Mos Eisley tune in Star Wars) to set out on an adventure to rid the world of this cataclysmic evil force. Pretty much there is an cult tribe called The Sons of Dawn, and their main goal is to awaken an evil force which will wipe out everything on the planet.
While the developers clearly created Pixel Heroes as a retro labor of love, they removed most of the features which make rogue-likes and dungeon exploration fun to play.īeing that this is a rogue-like, there is not much of a story to speak of.
