Heroes of Hammerwatch is a rogue-lite action-adventure set in the universe of Hammerwatch, built around climbing the Forsaken Spire through procedurally generated levels. Runs mix combat against enemy hordes with traps, puzzles, secrets, and loot, while the changing layouts offer a fresh challenge each time. The goal gives these varied encounters a clear direction: make your way to the top of the tower.
A run begins in Outlook, a town whose buildings can be constructed or upgraded to provide enhancements for heroes. Progress also follows characters beyond individual expeditions: heroes retain experience and grow stronger, and the game offers seven classes with distinct stats, abilities, and playstyles. Finding or buying from a collection of more than 100 items adds another layer of choices. That blend of run-based exploration and lasting development is central to the game’s design.
Heroes of Hammerwatch supports single-player as well as cooperative play with up to three friends, and players can bring their own heroes into a friend’s game.
