Slimes are a beloved type of monster that appear in Dragon Quest and many other games. Soon, they'll even be getting their own game courtesy of Pancake Games and Whitethorn Games. Slime Heroes is a "Soulslike" action adventure with 2-player local co-op support. That's twice as many slimes! Players will be able to get their hands on all that double slime action on February 13.
Features:
- Gain Abilities and Change Them Up On the Fly: Collect and consume an arsenal of gems obtained from defeating enemies, and dynamically combine skills to craft unique attacks that suit your playstyle at any time.
- Play Alone or With a Friend: Venture off solo or jump into a friend’s game anytime for a fun couch and online co-op adventure. With a shared loot system, you can both create complimentary abilities to take on the fiercest corrupted enemies.
- Travel Across an Expansive World: Explore six distinct regions in a vibrant, vast open world and meet the gods that rule over each region. Discover secret passageways, hidden areas, and unique puzzle dungeons, each with its own challenges.
- Make Your Slime Your Own: Give your slime some personality as you customize their face and colors to your liking. Find hats throughout the map that not only give your slime that little extra pizazz but also provide helpful stat buffs, keeping you fashionable and ready for battle.
We played an early Steam demo of Slime Heroes (pictured above) last summer and came away impressed. Even back then, the game featured lovely cinematics, colorful visuals, and goo-reat gameplay. Let's hope the real thing will bring just as enjoyable a slime time!
Slime Heroes will arrive on Xbox Series S|X and Steam on Thursday, February 13. A Switch version will be released at some point after that. There's already a free Steam demo, so don't waste slime! Give it a shot.
