Next Up Hero is a Gauntlet-style dungeon crawler, starring hand-drawn heroes that hack, slash, shoot, drum, boomerang, jet, and explode their way through Ventures. Choose your Hero (and/or invite a friend to co-op) and start rolling dungeons, gearing out, and maxing your stats against the vile monsters known as the Ceaseless Dirge.
- Defeated the bosses? Craft your own dungeon for the community.
- Dungeon defeated? Do it on Insane!
- You did that? Then Min-Max your favorite character.
- Maxed all heroes? Tell us what you want next on http://discord.gg/NextUpHero!
- You seriously did all that? Try it again with your favorite co-op partner.
- Dungeon Maker Mode: Fancy yourself a game designer? Let’s see what you got. Craft a savage dungeon, and challenge the community to beat it. If they beat the dungeon, they get to keep a rare piece of loot. If they fail, the treasure is yours.
- Perma-Permadeath: Death is so permanent in Next Up Hero that your “echo” remains for the next player to raise. People die a lot in Next Up Hero, so you can resurrect up to 20 AI followers!
- Mixer Interactive Enabled: It’s Hero vs. Dirge powered by Mixer Interactive. Spectators can control the echo army, helping the hero survive the flood, or buff the Dirge enemies, slowing and freezing the player.
