Heroes of Steel: turn-based Tactics RPG [App Store, Android]

TubeTube Registered User admin
Heroes of Steel is a tactical turn-based RPG in which you lead a group of four unique characters, each with their own talents, special powers, and abilities on their quest through the world of Steel. Engage in tactical combat with the ferocious, devious, and magical enemies who threaten humanity's last settlements. You must decide how to develop each character’s individual strategy in order to build a powerful and dynamic team capable of triumphing over the impossible odds. As you traverse the sprawling world of Steel, your party will face a myriad of challenges, battles, extensive mazes and fearsome enemies of all varieties.

See the epic turn-based tactical RPG in this YouTube Trailer!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUabKjL9iTQ

It is the dawn of the Seventy First Year after the world has fallen. Four of the Thirteen Gods rose up against their creator, the All-Father, and destroyed him in a cataclysmic event. In the following years of darkness and ruin, the kingdoms of man fell in war and flame. In the final days before all was lost, under the guidance of an ancient order of druids, the survivors retreated to a mysterious underground labyrinth; the Underdeep. Now, in the Underdeep, the last remnants of humanity are scratching out a living and trying to rebuild a society, but are quickly discovering that evil has followed them beneath the surface.

Heroes of Steel RPG was inspired by some of the best and most classic games in the tactics RPG genre like Heroes Quest, Baldur's Gate, Diablo, and Final Fantasy Tactics. If you enjoy the precision of turn-based tactics games, challenging and complex combat, and branching storylines you will love Heroes of Steel RPG.

As you lead your group in Heroes of Steel you will:
  • Be immersed in a deep, post-apocalyptic medieval fantasy world with a grim non-linear storyline
  • Choose how to increase your attribute, skills, and talents to build a powerful and victorious team strategy .
  • Employ hundreds of arcane, holy, melee and ranged Talents against your enemies
  • Face unique, crafty and challenging opponents in the underdeep
  • Explore the immense and sprawling world of Steel
  • Enjoy hours of tactical turn-based RPG in the Prologue before purchasing Episode 1: Death's Consort for $1. The entire story will be 4 Episodes for $4 total.

Where can I get Heroes of Steel RPG?
Heroes of Steel is available on the Apple App Store for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, and on Google Play and the Amazon App Store for your Android phone or tablet.

    I do like the games that you listed as being inspiration. The art style in those screenshots is kind of bleh. I'm OK with simple art, but it just looks kind of old? I dunno. But I'll try to give the Prologue a try in the coming week or so, whenever I remember to clean up my phone so I have some space. I'll let you know what I think.

    I see in one of your recent updates that it looks like each Episode is split into different Acts? How many Acts are planned for each Episode?

    @kime - thanks for the feedback an we hope you give it a try! Each of the 4 Episodes will have 2 Acts. The currently available content is Episode 1, Act 1, and we are working on Episode 1 Act 2, which doubles the content that you get for $1. It will be about 24 dungeons and 2 towns.

    Sorry you don't like the art style. I am the artist ;) I'm self taught over 3 years of making games with my brother, Cory. When we decided to give this a go, I picked up a Wacom and started. My work is a continuous improvement, and the Heroes work is definitely the best work I've produced yet. We make games that live up to the saying that "sometimes good gameplay is hidden under retro art."

    If you like Heroes, give our others games a try too!

Among his friends, Kincaid has a unique knack for encouraging tactical coordination with his Flanking Unity Talent. He is the only character capable of hurling throwing daggers, relying on his Darting Steel Talent. Another first - Kincaid can lead your group as a Stealth character.
