My snake-hero-roguelite will be released in 2 weeks, for free!

Hi, I’m Max, the solo dev behind HeroTail: Survivors.

After a major wave of layoffs in the games industry last year, I decided to go self-employed and now work full-time on my own video games. My childhood dream somehow came true.

HeroTail: Survivors is a run-based roguelite mixed with Snake:
You choose a hero, defeat monsters, and gradually recruit more heroes who join your chain. The game also features different biomes, set bonuses, meta upgrades, controller support, and Steam leaderboards.

Last year, I already had some success with Idle Pixel Fantasy, and since my games are free, I always try to be completely transparent about how I make money from them:

HeroTail: Survivors has a total of 15 heroes. 3 of them can be purchased as mini-DLCs. However, this is completely optional.

The full game, including all difficulty levels and all achievements, can be completed without spending a single cent.

I’d be really happy if some of you checked it out!

So close to 2000 Wishlists!

7 Months ago I published the steam page without a lot of marketing.

It helps a lot that my previous game Idle Pixel Fantasy was successfull.

HeroTail: Survivors will release in 2 weeks for FREE, so I hope I can increase the wishlist number even more.

Its a run-based roguelike where your heroes form a living chain.

Hi I'm Max the Solodev of HeroTail: Survivors, an upcoming run-based roguelike where your heroes form a living chain.
Level up, recruit followers, and stack powerful set bonuses while battling through waves of enemies and unlocking permanent upgrades.

Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4054480/HeroTail_Survivors/

The original plan was to sell it at a low price, but I changed it to free so more player can try the game.

Similiar to my previous game "Idle Pixel Fantasy", there will be some mini-DLCs, but these are completely optional. You can get all achievements and beat the game without paying anything! There are no hidden costs or ingame microtransactions.

I hope you like what I've been working on for months!

Finally I was able to announce the release date of my next game!
It's a run based roguelite where you build a chain of heroes.

After releasing a lot of paid games, I released the free game Idle Pixel Fantasy last year, which was a big success for me. It has some mini DLCs, but no ingame microtransaction or hidden costs, so for this game I try something similiar.

HeroTail: Survivors is free and you can get all achievements without paying anything.
There will be 15 heroes to choose from, 3 of them are paid, but totally optional.
Thanks!
