Heroes of HammerWatch is retro, indie action rpg with procedural generation and online co-op about slaughtering masses of monsters, scoring coins and treasure, and lvling up. That's right! Unlike HammerWatch, you Lvl up from kills in this one, as opposed to gaining all your Lvl up abilities from spending gold at merchants throughout the dungeons.

There's also a town and townsfolk in this, which you help out by recovering items/people they lost in the dungeons, like ore, or lost miners, or the alchemist.

Unlike in HammerWatch, you cannot go up floors once you descent, so you can't return to grab spare apples or energy you left on the ground, so the ground serves less as your inventory in this one.
There are many different characters to play, like the tankie Paladin, the Ranger, the Sorceror, or Warlock, with more to unlock as you play.

All the characters have different abilities, with the melee characters presenting a special challenge due to their need to be front and center of the action. I find using the environment to funnel my foes, then lawnmowering through them, works wonders. :)

Heroes of HammerWatch is by the same developer as the older (yet still good) HammerWatch. I have recently played both, and they are different enough to want to enjoy both.

Concerning gameplay, for both games, think Gauntlet, but harder, or a more approachable Diablo.

Both games also have awesome pixel graphics; care to enjoy them with me? :)
