Frozenbyte, creators of the Trine series, has announced a new strategy and action game with a roguelike twist, Has-Been Heroes. Has-Been Heroes is currently planned for a March release and in order to celebrate this announcement, Frozenbyte released its first trailer that can be viewed below.
In Has-Been Heroes, players will embark on an epic journey to… take the twin princesses to school. Players will unlock and collect hundreds of game-changing items and spells, combine spells and face countless monsters.
Here are the game’s key features:
- Meet the epic band of heroes as the young and eager Rogue, joining the company of the tall-telling Bard, the Anthropologist turned Mexican Wrestler, a gentle Robot with a fascinatingly chirpy personality, the diamond-seeking Dwarf, the ever-vigilant and paranoid Sheikh, and many more…
- Unlock and collect hundreds of game-changing items and spells, boosting the heroes’ powers and making each run unique!
- Combine spells such as the fiery Burning Blade and poison-infecting Baleful Breeze for devastating effects, learning the power of magic as you gain more elements.
- Face countless monsters from smelly-breath skeletons to zombies and evil spirits, each bigger and more menacing than the next. Can you wipe out the army of evil led by the Great Ghoul?
- In roguelike fashion, death is permanent – but you will get another chance! Choose your heroes and tactics wisely, and prepare for battle!

So they turned a brilliant physics-puzzle/action game into a freaking turn based hack’n slash turd? Noo buddy, just no!
They didn’t turn it into another game, if anything this could be considered just a spin off of sorts.
i don’t think this is a spin off. i think they just don’t have imagination creating characters… :S
lel, or that. ¯_(?)_/¯
Love the Trine series, but this? Looks weak in comparison.
reminds of a game i used to play on my iphone
Is it me or pc news are very meh lately ?.
Well it’s january, everything is meh. even Nintendo’s tablet thingy was meh.
Meh? It is the ultimate source of amusement when you visit any forum. xD
The salt and overreaction is amazing, not to mention the jokes.
PCs are slowly getting irrelevant as consoles getting more foothold in the industry. 50.4M PS4 already sold and probably many more now. And with so many great exclusives where PCs can only salivate or mast when watching those delicious AAA games.. PC has nothing.. RTS and MMO are dead. Only relevance in PCs are MOBA. Once they are dead.. PC has nothing lol.
No i did not need this delusional bull. TL;DR
“consoles getting more foothold in the industry”
“so many great exclusives”
“PC has nothing”

even though pc hardware is evolving at such a high rate bc of the continuous revenue it makes not to mention that pc gaming overtakes almost all the other consoles combined but yea…totally irrelevant, its not like more than half of dev teams develop for PCs or anything…nah…pc is dead lul
