About the Game

Embark on a new adventure in Heroes of Hammerwatch 2.

A rogue-lite action-rpg brimming with randomly generated levels, deep customization, and rich persistent progression. Battle your way through the perilous Dark Citadel, collecting powerful equipment and trinkets that unlock game-changing upgrades and abilities. This unique mix of permanent equipment in the style of action-rpgs along with run defining rewards from its rogue-lite roots results in a compelling experience where you are sure to get something new out of every run, always progressing in some way, with no two runs the same.

Return from your expeditions to upgrade your town, enchant gear, and unlock new upgrades for your character. Build a thriving hub to support your adventures and shape your play style in countless ways.

And when you've conquered the Citadel, the challenge isn't over — New Game+ offers endless progression, tougher enemies, and ever more powerful rewards to keep the adventure alive.

Key Features:

  • 7 Unique Classes: Start as a Warrior, Paladin, Ranger, or Wizard, and unlock the Rogue, Warlock, and Sorcerer through gameplay.

  • Each class offers 3 specializations, introducing new abilities and passives.

  • Endless Replayability: Explore 8 distinct, randomly generated floor types, each teeming with unique enemies, traps, and challenges.

  • Town Building: Upgrade your town to unlock run-enhancing NPCs, stash items, and customize your adventure.

  • Dynamic Gear System: Equip enchantable weapons and gear to craft and upgrade your perfect build and explore varied play styles.

  • An Abundance of Unlocks: Find blueprints that unlock new enchants for your equipment, attunements for permanently upgrading trinkets you find, and drinks to modify runs.

  • Infinite Progression: New Game+ ensures endless gameplay with increasing difficulty, better gear, greater buffs, and unlimited leveling opportunities.

  • Team Up: Enjoy online multiplayer with up to 4 players—tackle the Dark Citadel together!

I do not recommend this game for anyone. I have 120+ hours, every character has beat the boss at lvl 20, and some have advanced further. The final boss fight and the quest fights against the wraith are very unenjoyable.

Enjoyed the game for what it is and can see that it still has a lot of potential. Would love a version of a Hammerwatch game that allows ai team members that the player can create. Imagine icewind dale.

lots of fun to be had for small groups. 3-4 friends is best. There are some very minor things I would change for QoL but nothing even approaching a deal-breaker. Would be be nice to have an item or equipment painter so

Pros: - Great sense of progression (town, gear, subclasses etc.) - Amazing bang for buck with potentially hundreds of hours of gameplay - Seamless multiplayer integration Cons: - Performance tanks at later difficulties
