“Heir to the Throne (HttT) is an action role-playing game which borrows from the hack’n’slay and rogue-lite genres with a bit of extraction gameplay added to the mixture. It's played in a top-down perspective and you control your character directly: no point and click but WASD and mouse. It is being developed for cooperative multiplayer mode, but will also be playable in single player – albeit with an increased difficulty level. Other features include 'no fixed classes', 'randomised loot', 'randomised skills', 'randomised dungeons', 'permadeath', 'meta progression' and more!"
Roguelite Single- & Multiplayer
While you can play the game as a solo player, HttT also offers cooperative multiplayer mode. In the joint fight against evil, coordinate the use of your skills wisely to create synergies. Exchange found items to strengthen your party’s fighting power. While death might be inevitable, having teammates offers the rare chance to get revived.
Unique Character Development
With the approach of "you are what you wear," meaning no predefined hero classes, you have total freedom over how you want to equip and play your character. In addition, with our weapon-based random skill system we make sure that the game unfolds differently every time you play.
Various Biomes
Explore various hostile biomes with open landscapes and dungeons. These environments will be randomly generated every time you start a game. The biomes differ in terms of style, appearance and dominant culture - also regarding the enemies.
Direct Controls
We focus on direct controls, implemented for an action-oriented and dynamic gaming experience. Instead of using point-and-click to move your character, we rely on WASD for movement as well as precise aiming with the mouse. Controller support is planned as well.
