What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Heroes of Hammerwatch has unique and compelling progression elements that sets it apart from other roguelites and really sucked me into the experience.
The real interesting system here is that progressing through the game on one character grants permanent stat increases to all of your characters, for example, if you beat the first 3 bosses of the game with the paladin you're providing 7 defense to all other characters.
Heroes of Hammerwatch is a difficult, top-down, up to four-player online cooperative roguelite that rewards persistence, people who like to level multiple characters, and people who use mods (At least as of a very recent update that allows you to earn achievements in modded saves).
Certain people are going to love that grind, and I'm sure that it's plenty more fun if you're playing it co-op with some buddies as well.
* Pixel graphics: iGPU only laptops and the Steam Deck run this with zero issues performance wise.
Hitboxes are way too precise, and the aim marker, well, isn't.
Theme by theme
Every theme is scored by what reviewers actually said about it, not just whether they recommended the game.
Ranked by how many sampled reviews mention each topic. A topic sits in a column by what reviewers said about that topic; the percentage beside it is how many of them recommended the game anyway. One more theme was raised by fewer than 6 sampled reviews and is not shown.
