    No couch coop?! Jeez! Great game though, like a modern ‘Gauntlet’. Please add local coop ok? Then my rate will go up.

    Original Hammerwatch had one of the coolest co-op ever. This game, being a lot richer in content - has no couch gameplay :( And I played the game mostly with my partner and our kids so...

    I LOVE that game! Already played "Hammerwatch" but this one is far better. After every run there are things to upgrade and you instantly want to start over. The only thing that is really missing is a local coop!

    Dear developers: The Nintendo Switch is a console for familes! We want to play "Heroes of Hammerwatch" in coop on the couch. Please consider patching a coop mode in the game.    I LOVE that game!

    Really addictive little roguelike/dungeon crawler. Loads of things to do after every run like upgrading your town, upgrading your character (with permanent or temporary perks), searching for secrets...even buying a pet! This also has all the DLC, for a great price when you consider the amount of content and different character classes there are. Love it.

    El segundo mejor juego que ha pasado por mi Switch. El primero es el Breath of the wild.
    Una idea sencilla, una ejecución excelente y un contenido casi inabarcable.
    Para mi es un multisistema, es decir, un juego que tengo en más de un sistema. Y en físico viene el primer Hammerwatch, un juego pequeño pero que ya lo hacía todo bien, es la tapa que te ponen con la cerveza. Y este juego    El segundo mejor juego que ha pasado por mi Switch.

    Y este juego es una pinta de Guiness bien fresquita servida en una taberna irlandesa, con música rock de fondo y un grupo de colegas en la mesa.    … Expand

    One of the most addictive rogue-lites on the Nintendo Switch, Heroes of Hammerwatch blends classic action RPG progression with a hostile world design that'll have heroes second guessing every turn they make, and whether or not their next foe will be their last. Procedurally generated level design can never match up to thoughtful handcrafted stages, but HoH is able to cut the difference thanks to its easy to pick up gameplay loop, and an understanding that even the smallest bit of progress is meaningful. Between experimenting with classes, upgrading your town, and dungeon-eering with a trusted group of friends, Heroes of Hammerwatch is a must-play.

    Frenzied gameplay, significant improvements to the original game, character development and improvement, plus a great OST. A cooperative roguelike perfect to play with friends or even alone. If you liked the original Hammerwatch, you can't miss this title on Nintendo Switch.

    Heroes of Hammerwatch is the definitive edition of an already fantastic game. It’s a killer rogue-lite, a great twin-stick shooter, and it comes packed with additional content for a very modest price point. There’s just no reason not to own this.
