Folk Hero News

Version 1.2.0-beta

Dear players!

We are pleased to inform you that we are launching an open Beta test of the Multiplayer! (Steam Remote Play works too)

You can enable Beta mode in the game properties on Steam.

Important information:

1. Saves from the release version will be used in the Beta test version.
2. Saves from the Beta version will NOT be used in the current release version.
3. Saves from the Beta version will probably fit the release version of the Multiplayer (when it will be released), but no promises.
4. In the Community Center created Topics for discussion and bugs in Multiplayer.
5. To enable Multiplayer mode, press Q (or X on the gamepad) on the save slot.

In multiplayer mode, you can summon up to 2 additional players to go on an adventure together. Use the Summoning bell on the Beach to do so.

Achievements will only be completed by the first player, and all unlocked content during co-op will also be saved for single-player mode in that save slot, and vice versa.

In this mode, all game classes are unlocked immediately, but you cannot go to the Island alone.

We wish you good luck and have fun with your friends!

Thank you!

Artifacts provide the player with extra capabilities and assist in fending off opponents in tough battles. With their help, you can increase movement speed or enhance the damage inflicted on enemies in combat, or even make all the enemies around you fight each other 👀

⚔ Friends, tell us about your favorite artifacts in the game. Which of them do you find most useful?

Heroes, wishing you a Happy upcoming New Year!

We wish you a lot of perseverance and diligence in 2024, because the explorers of the Island know better than anyone how difficult the path can sometimes be to new achievements and victories 🏆

And may all the games from your wishlist replenish your collection in the new year 🎮

Happy holidays, friends! ✨

We wish all players a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Thank you for playing Folk Hero.

We are preparing an update to fix some known issues.

1. It is impossible to remap the Skill 2 buttons of Warrior and Defender, and if they have been remapped, it is impossible to get them back. (For now, this can be fixed by deleting the settings file in the save folder at UserName/AppData/LocalLow/Chudo-Yudo Games/Folk Hero).
2. Because of the Magic Powder, the Ghost in the Castle may hang and block the transition between locations. (Try not to use this item in the Castle).
3. After the third killing of Koschei, the character may not respond to the control. (This can be fixed by turning Pause on and off).
4. The Play Station controller may not be detected in the game. (You can try disabling the Steam Input System on the game page in the Library, or just select the PS layout in the game settings).

Heroes, it’s time to review the results of the Big Winter Poll 2024!

Today we’ll find out who are those brave souls who decided to become the conquerors of the Mysterious Island. Let’s start our research!

As it turned out, the majority of the adventurers are between 24 and 35 years old, they make up 39%! Another 38% believe that they’re still too young to die — they’re between 18 and 25 years old. And 23% of our players turned out to be in their full bloom — over 35.

85% of the conquerors of the Island are brave heroes. Hey, fair maidens, keep up!

38,5% of the heroes who took the survey in English turned out to be from North America and 30,8% are from Western Europe. Please note that we’re talking only about those who completed the survey in English!

69% of respondents combine the fight against evil creatures with work, and 23% with studies. The remaining 8% haven’t yet decided, which means that they can spend more time in the game. It’s not bad, when there’s always someone to guard the order of the Buyan island!

Most of our noble warriors learned about the mysterious world of Folk Hero from Steam recommendations (71%), 23% watched a review of the game on Youtube and decided to try it out.

The majority of players, 77%, spend a couple of hours a week playing Folk Hero, and 23% admitted that they could disappear into the game for a couple of days.

And how often do our players play video games in general? 3-4 days a week is enough for 38,5%, 38,5% spend more time, about 5-6 days a week, and 23% play every day!

Most of the respondents are fans of the roguelike (100%) and action (92%) genres, RPG (77%) and casual games (54%) are also in the top.

In addition to Folk Hero, glorious warriors love such games as Baldur’s Gate 3, The Witcher, Borderlands and Vampire Survivors.

The holidays are coming up, so we congratulate you, Heroes! Thank you for your ideas and suggestions, as well as for your attention to detail — you are helping us make the game better! Best regards from the Folk Hero team!
