Our Hero! Hyper Sword launches Kickstarter campaign
Our Hero! Hyper Sword is an epic action-adventure game with some RPG mechanics starred by fancy and colorful characters, inspired by such titles as Castle Crashers, Jak and Daxter & Zelda. The game involves seamlessly alternating Hack’n’Slash and platforming sections, free-to-explore environments dotted with secrets to collect and enemies to fight in frantic real-time battles, each guarded by armored and evasive boss which require timing and tactics to hit in an opening. The game’s main focus is the Story Mode, playable in Single-Player or in local Multiplayer with a friend.
Journeying through forests and fortresses, seas and skies, vast stretches of land and tight dungeons, carving your way through Finalboss and his cronies with the help of other mighty warriors and a cast of colorful NPCs assisting you in uncovering the land’s treasures and secrets, and wielding an array of mighty weapons to collect and upgrade.
Our Hero! Hyper Sword takes place in an open-world settings, and is divided in Acts. Each Act takes place in a different part of the heroes’ world: you’ll be tested in the Royal Gardens, retrieve the magical crystal in the Castle Vaults, plow through obstacles in the Lost Valley and contact the Forest Folk in the Ancient Forest. Activate an Obelisk to unlock it and travel freely between it and any other Obelisk you’ve found in the world. Each area is chock full of secrets and collectibles: gain Micyold from winning battles, destroying crates and opening chests. ESP’s will also be invaluable in unlocking new Fury powers, such as temporary Invincibility.
At several points during your adventure you’ll have to swap between heroes in order to overcome certain obstacles. Each hero has his own powers that can come in handy for different situations: use Ourhero to battle groups of enemies, Fury to climb walls and reach out of place ledges, Grin to snipe enemies from afar with his rifle, Tay to control enemies and open up new paths. Join forces to fight Finalboss’ henchmen and defeat the Conyan menace looming over your Kingdom.
