Today Dayton Does decides to sit down with a game requested by The Might Ramtide. Ramtide is riding boxcars, but Jeremy from the Game Gallows is here to stand in his place! Hero Siege is a great arena brawler, but we let the strange conversation commence!

Not to hate on Hero Siege, but we decided to focus more on the conversation than the gameplay. This leads to another podcast like series that has a huge range of discussion topics, from popular media to Black Lives Matter to philosophical theories about the nature of truth and the universe. It was a ton of fun! Please enjoy.

Hero Siege is available on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/269210

Hero Siege is a Slash Roguelike RPG by Panic Art Studios.

Hero Siege was created by Panic Art Studios and Auto Series Team Jam on September 2013 in 48 hours by Elias Viglione (Graphics), Jussi Kukkonen (Programming) and Aleksi Kujala (Composing). The final game was released 18th of December 2013.

On the July 18th 2014 the first DLC, called The Karp of Doom, was released, and adds the Samurai class, new Relics, a new Act Plains of Karponia, and a new difficulty level. Users that own this DLC will also have had access to an early Alpha for multiplayer.
Second DLC, The Depths of Hell, was released on the April 30th 2015. It adds new class Fallen Paladin, 6th act The Holy Grounds, new achievements, enemies, bosses, relics, dungeons, quests, siege mode, new clothing and exclusive loot.
The Amazon Jungle Bundle, released on the 8th of June 2015, adds new Amazon class, two new relics, dark green name color and Voodoo Mask hat.
The fourth DLC, The Wrath of Mevius, was released on the 17th of November 2015. It added two new new classes, The Demon Slayer and The Demonspawn. Along with a new act "The Rift", new relics, bosses, enemies and difficult challenges.

Hero Siege is a Hack 'n' Slash game with roguelike- & RPG elements. Annihilate hordes of enemies, grow your talent tree, grind better loot and explore up to 6 Acts enhanced with beautiful Pixel Art graphics! This game offers countless hours of gameplay and up to 4 player online multiplayer! 

Hero Siege is like an abusive relationship. As it goes on, it beats and abuses of you, but you still feel like coming back for more, until you realize it's not good for you and just end it.

As I progressed through the game, I noticed an ungodly amount of glitches everywhere. It honestly felt like playing an early access game, even though it was released in... 2014. Wow.

Here I'm gonna list the good things about this game:

- Feels good to blast your way through countless waves of enemies.
- Voice acting is cool. Most of the times.

Here I'm gonna list the (the most relevant) bad things about this game:

- A good portion of the relics are useless once you reach end-game.
- Most boss battles are bland and boring. One Firenova was enough to kill every boss until Destruction difficulty, where I needed maybe two or three. The only interesting bosses are the ones inside the Wormhole. But you'll go through a lot of tears and frustration until you reach that point.
- Cheap deaths. It feels like the game gives you everything so you can just rush through it, but then it sticks its foot in front of you and makes you faceplant on the floor. Most times you can barely notice what killed you, but it's usually a tiny bullet that deals trillions of damage amidst the clusterf*ck of things in the screen. I know you're still supposed to die even when you're god mode, but the game doesn't give you any time to react to threats at all.
- Awful humor. Childish, to say the least.
- Maps are crowded with sh*t. It's SO MANY obstacles placed literally anywhere that it gets easy to just get stuck between them and... Die.

I would recommend this game because I actually enjoyed playing it, but I gave up playing after dying unfairly so many times. It's not worththe frustration you go through. This game feels like a DLC bait. If you still wanna have a quick hack & slash fun, at least have the decency to wait for this game to go on sale. It's not worth it's full prize.

I'm hoping to go back to this game in the future and see it fixed. -Vallemont
