Heroes of the Hearth

Heroes of the Hearth is a Umbrella game published by Toroko for the The V². The game was created as a break between all the Fantendoverse content that was being published by Toroko for the last couple months now, although this content was not put on a hiatus. The gameplay has been described as a mix of Dark Souls, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario 64/Donkey Kong 64. 
==Gameplay==
Heroes of the Hearth is a third-person action role-playing game. The core mechanic of the game is exploration. Players are encouraged by the game to proceed with caution, learn from past mistakes, or find alternate areas to explore. Heroes of the Hearth takes place in a large and continuous open world environment, connected through a central hub area (Dark Peach's Castle). Players travel through paintings to get to new worlds and places. In order to restore Peach's Castle and complete the game, players must create light up all the Hearths, some of which are locked behind bosses or hordes of enemies. 
The player does not get to create their character but instead choose from a wide variety of characters in the roster. Each character plays very differently and true to their home series. Each character has a health meter that depletes when they take damage and does not refill over time. To refill it, characters must eat food. Each character has a favorite food that they like to eat, which when eaten will fill up their health entirely and even give them some extra energy and health for a period. 
Each area in the game is connected through Dark Peach's Castle and can be accessed through paintings. In each area, there are Hearths that must be lit. Hearths complete the main objective of the game as well as restore health to a player without the need of food; they can also be used to switch out characters. In each area, there are enemies and bosses to fight, which are sometimes required to defeat in order to get to Hearths. There are also several collectibles that are listed in their own section, although these are largely optional and only unlock more characters and secret areas; stuff not required to beat the game.
In Dark Peach's Castle, Ingrid will tell the player how much Hearths still need to be lit as well as provide direction if needed. In order to unlock certain characters, the player must go to Shenron in the Dragon Pool after they have completed certain objectives.
==Plot==
Peach's Castle and Peach herself were engulfed by The Darkness, a mysterious dark force that has ruptured what Ingrid and Shenron call a "Beacon of Light". Although they are able to stabilize the castle from inside, it takes a great deal of energy to do so and they cannot fight off The Darkness, instead relying on heroes to light up the Hearths instead. You could call these people... Heroes of the Hearth.

Character 	Information 	 	
Shantae 	Unlocked from the start.
A half genie that was one of the first characters called by Ingrid and Shenron to light up the Hearths in the paintings. She uses her hair to attack and can transform into animals through dances. Through these dances, she can become a elephant, a bat, or a naga.
----
Forms
----
*Elephant - A big bulky creature that is able to sustain a lot of damage as well as trample enemies, but is very slow and can't jump.
*Bat - Small and nimble, as well as able to fly. Darkness barriers will prevent Shantae from skipping over the maps but this is a good navigational tool as well as a tool to reach high places easily. Only problem is how fragile this form is!
*Naga - A slithering seductress of a creature, Shantae's naga form can slither around enemies and choke them, as well as crawl up slimy walls. Her stats remain largely the same with a touch more defense and a touch less movement. Art by Deeum.

Jake 	Unlocked from the start.
A magic dog that is a thief but still good at heart. He can transform into a variety of shapes because he rolled into a magic puddle or something- I dunno. Jake is pretty slow but has a lot of defense and can stretch to hit enemies far away. Nothing really stops Jake and he can go through most of the gates that would be have to be opened through the killing of a boss. However he is inherently low energy and will ALWAYS steal something from merchants when browsing through shops, making your life somewhat of a living hell. 
----
Forms
----
*Catapult - Jake can catapult enemies away, killing most on impact, although this leaves him unable to move anything aside from the catapult arm itself. He can swing around to hit enemies as well. 
*Chair - Gag form that can sit down enemies and some bosses for a powerful surprise attack.
*Dump Truck - Got too many items on you? No problem, just turn into a dump truck and carry it until the next Hearth where you can drop off some of the extras. Mobility is slower and Jake becomes able to shrug off heavier attacks.

Cammy 	Unlocked from the start.
Cammy was once a deadly assassin working for Shadaloo before breaking free and becoming an MI6 operative for the British government. She is a quick and fast fighter that uses a variety of kicks and strikes with her hands. She lacks projectiles, so she has to use physical attacks with enemies. She is excellent at dodging attacks. She does have some downsides though, namely her low maximum health and no ranged options.

Favorite Food: Tuna Sandwich	 	
Venom Goku 	Unlocked from the start.
Created from a clone of the Venom symbiote and a clone of Goku, Venom Goku is defined by two extremes of the western and eastern sequential art communities. His reckless nature to become the strongest combined with his reckless and violent fighting style make him a incredibly interesting character to play as. Using projectiles and extremely fast hits, Venom Goku is a powerhouse that should be feared; however his reckless nature and lack of smooth turning make him a bit difficult to efficiently play. Mark down his low health and this kind of character should really only be used by people who have a idea of what they're doing.

Favorite Food: Giant Spider	 	
Psylocke 	Unlocked from the start.
One of the more complicated backstories of all time, but that's not saying much considering this is... comics. A reborn mutant who has mainly telekinetic abilities, Psylocke can create a katana made of telekinetic energy that has a variety of killing or non-lethal settings and can charge it to cut through enemies. She can fly using fly pads and grab objects near her for collecting or to use as a projectile attack. Quick and nimble, she can run through enemies fairly quickly although her attack power is not great. She isn't a defenseless character and can create psionic shields to protect herself.

Mordecai 	Unlocked when all Jiggys from UMÄK are collected.
Mordecai is a blue jay that works for the park seen in Regular Show. Although a bird, he cannot fly. Mordecai is a strong character with average speed and somewhat low defense. He can attack attack with a Power Glove, shooting a laser projectile at enemies as well as using karate moves against enemies. While not a fast character, he can hold his own pretty well.

Strategos Six 	Unlocked when all Dark Jiggys from UMÄK are collected.

When she is defeated, her soul scatters into Dark Jiggys that can be collected by the player when coming back into UMÄK. She is a fast character with sweeping melee attacks that are easy to punish but do a ton of damage. The player can charge up her blade, the Peacemaker, to become a gun that is capable of wiping out enemies from far away.

Character 	Information 	 	
Ingrid 	Ingrid provides direction for the player as well as tells them how many more Hearths must be lit. Wise and intelligent despite her apparent physical age, she also has a playful side which includes the tickling of defeated opponents, yet also displays an unusual lust for power. She is holding the Darkness back from the interior of Dark Peach Castle so that the Heroes of the Hearth can get into the Painted Worlds.	 	
Shenron 	Shenron guards the Dragon Pool in the basement of Dark Peach Castle. When the player has collected certain collectibles, he will summon characters to become part of the roster. He are good at heart, but as a strong dragon, Shenron has an aggressive temper, and is impatient sometimes, so don't stand at the Dragon Pool with nothing to do. 	 	
Kongiku 	Kongiku is a character will appear at random Hearths or in the Dragon Pool. While she cannot light the flames herself, she does offer up the ability to forge Demon Blades using the Souls of dead enemies. In the Dragon Pool, she is merely a cameo.

Her boss fight is in a closed off room where she can snipe at you and you'll have to dodge her attacks and send things to fight back at her. When she has halved health, she attacks you head on with her fangs and claws. Attack her with projectiles and keep her away.

==Trivia==
*This game seems to take place before the events of Adventure Time, as Jake is a notorious thief and Finn is nowhere to be seen. As told in some of the later episodes, Jake has a past as a thief and was not likely around for Finn or Jermaine until Joshua and Margret died, in which he was compelled to come back and clean up his act.
