Steam Community :: Group :: Square Heroes

This is a re-post of the announcement on the Greenlight page. It seems the greenlight subscribers don't get a notification, so fingers crossed at least the group members will see this...

It's taken longer than expected as we decided not to rush the launch and instead add a few more features. Being a multiplayer focussed game, it's vitally important that Square Heroes can sustain a decent user base (ie you!). The features we're adding are based on this:

- New "Last Alive" and "Team Last Alive" game modes. In these modes the aim is to die less than the other players/team. The number of lives is optional and you win if you are the last one alive. The idea here is to change up the gameplay so you are more careful to avoid dying.

- New "Kingslayer" mode. This is a co-op mode that pits you and your buddies against the Alien King. It brings the brutally difficult final level in the Tournament to multiplayer land.

- Dedicated servers. We plan to run at least 3 servers around the world to ensure people can always just jump in. If it's a quiet time you can slay some bots whilst you wait for other people to appear.

- Global chat screen. We're hoping this will function as a good place to tee up a game with people, or just hang out and talk Square Heroes!

We're also still deciding how exactly to integrate Steam leaderboards. One idea is to have monthly seasons where the amount of XP you earn is essentially your score. I'd be interested to hear other ideas though.
