Heroes of Loot

Heroes of Loot is a fast-paced dungeon crawler with a pixel art visual style and influenced by the classic Gauntlet. The player chooses one of five characters and enters a dungeon, clearing floors with randomly generated environment, quests and monster spread for each session. The available characters are Barbarian, Elf, Valkyrie, Warrior, and Wizard (the first unlocked when you reach the 30th floor). They all have a ranged attack with a specific weapon type, but have different statistics for strength, magic and experience.

The controls consist of movement and shooting, aiming is done automatically towards the nearest creature. The character needs to find a large amount of monsters, generally to find a key that unlocks the door to a deeper level. With each new floors new monster types are introduced, as well as hazards such as bars coming out of walls, fire streams, spikes in the ground and poisonous pools. The player can unlock five difficulty levels based on the introduction of a new monster type. They become available after a set amount of levels have been completed. Experience levels up the character and improves the weapon's efficiency. Runes can be picked up to access a stronger, additional magical weapon activated automatically but with limited ammo, such as a rotating stream of fire or lightning bursts.
