The Hammerwatch series started with Hammerwatch in 2012, a Gauntlet-style action RPG. Heroes of Hammerwatch followed, a super-challenging Roguelike version that I absolutely loved. Modus Games has been teasing the official Hammerwatch II for quite some time, and now the wait is nearly over. The new open-world action RPG sequel will arrive on consoles and PCs this summer, complete with 4-player online co-op.
In Hammerwatch II, the good King Roland has been overthrown by an army of dragons led by Blight the Horrible. The heroic resistance has escaped to the sewer system, away from the dragons' power. From there, a few heroes must venture out into the beleaguered kingdom and save its people. They will do so in a vast RPG adventure featuring Gauntlet-style combat, a high degree of challenge, and 4-player online co-op.
