The Badass Hero

The Badass Hero gets new trailer

Join the developers today in an ask me anything session on Reddit.

The Badass Hero is a rogue-lite action-platformer, set in a comic book universe. Experience fast-paced hit-and-run gameplay and never do the same thing twice, thanks to procedurally generated levels and random items – all in highly refined, modern, hi-res 2D art.

Somehow chaos has entered the comic book multiverse and your whole world has gone nuts! That is how your story starts: you come from a long-gone era and were once a great hero, but now things have gone bad – your powers have been lost! Your quest is simple, yet deadly – you need to write your story anew and relive your greatest accomplishments. Order will be restored if and only if you prove that you are the true Badass Hero.

Your guns are your best friends, and ink is the new gold – collect it from defeated enemies to upgrade your hero. The more dynamic and forceful your play style, the greater the rewards! There is always a cost, though. Stay focused at all times, or you will die sooner than you think.

The Badass Hero is currently available in Steam Early Access, priced at £8.49 / €11.99 / $11.99. The developers, Awesome Games Studio, will be live on Reddit to answer any questions today at 8pm GMT / 9pm CEST 12pm PDT. There’ll also be a steam key up for grabs.
