Critic Reviews for Heroes of Hammerwatch - Ultimate Edition
An enjoyable little rogue-lite with a mountain's worth of replayability, Heroes of Hammerwatch is the perfect game for killing a little time either alone or with friends
Much more than just a sterling evolution of arcade legend Gauntlet, Heroes of Hammerwatch melds superbly robust dungeon crawling gameplay together with ingenious roguelike design to create the genre's next must-have title. If like me you missed out on Heroes of Hammerwatch when it first release, now is the time to correct that mistake. You won't regret it.
Dispensing with frivolous window dressing like story and dialogue, Heroes of Hammerwatch give players direct access to its addictive dungeon crawling. Fun played solo – but riotous played with a group – Heroes of Hammerwatch does old-school gaming right, even though a bit more explanation of its systems might be welcomed by some players. With a ton of content to explore, Heroes of Hammerwatch is well worth the asking price. Highly recommended.
All you need to know about Heroes of Hammerwatch is that it's pretty damn addictive! It's hard to stop playing! Using simple and clear mechanics, this game is capable to get roguelike lovers into a rattling maelstrom of exploration and battles for many weeks.

Heroes of Hammerwatch rescues the essence of Gauntlet by offering a simple, direct and challenging rogue-lite. Very enjoyable if we play with friends, although monotonous and repetitive if we decide to play it alone.

Heroes of Hammerwatch is a great culmination of everything developer Crackshell started with Hammerwatch.
Heroes of Hammerwatch: Ultimate Edition is a game that works best with friends, and does a great job with how it balances gameplay and grind. This indie game is something you should add to your list of 'must-haves'.
To make it simple, there are really two ways to look at Heroes of Hammerwatch – Ultimate Edition. Either you decide you love the simple and engaging gameplay, the one where you run around, fight swarms of enemies and slowly build up the town or it's a grind-heavy mess. As a fan of the roguelike and roguelike genres, it falls more in the grind-heavy mentality, simply because the limits are less skill and more resources. Still, it's engaging enough to, if nothing else, get some fun out of it.
