No Heroes Here Review

Posted: 9 months ago, last updated 8 months ago.

Overview

No Heroes Here is a co-operative defend your castle game for up to four players. In simple pixel graphics, you have to work together to prepare your defences and then use them as the armies attack. The key to success is that everyone needs a role, preparing materials, manning cannons, or all manner of other tasks that need doing.

As you progress through the three different regions, each has its own game-play mechanics, enemies and quirks. It's already a PEGI 3 but you can turn off cannonballs if you like, and fire roasted chickens instead. You gather more Non-Heroes to your castle defenders as you go and take on 12 different enemy types.
