He is Coming News

Dark retro auto battler He is Coming gets expanded new demo for Steam Next Fest

With its retro visuals and auto battler combat, you may perceive He is Coming to be a rather basic, simple experience that will fill your headphones with some nostalgic, old-timer sound effects as you idly watch encounters unfold. Well, you'd be wrong. The next exciting project from indie publisher Hooded Horse, He is Coming weaves in roguelite elements to create unpredictable playthroughs, 30 challenging bosses, and hundreds of items. Now, you can experience it yourself with a new demo for the imminent Steam Next Fest.

He is coming... to Next Fest

Hey everyone!

We’re excited to share that He Is Coming will be part of Steam Next Fest! The demo is available to play right now! Featuring the latest updates—including Kingmaker, our new asynchronous multiplayer mode.

In Kingmaker, you’ll face off against the builds of other players instead of bosses. Win three matches in a row, and you’ll earn a Golden Crown, which can be spent on exclusive cosmetic skins. Items you’ve unlocked in Woodland will carry over, so every run is a chance to test your best builds!

With kingmaker going live we've also removed the "High score" mechanic from Woodland Abomination, he is now killable.

We’re looking forward to hearing your thoughts—let us know what you think!

I will kill every hedgehog I see in roguelite RPG He Is Coming

It is I, the guy who has only played Mechabellum playing his second autobattler, and getting strong Mechabellum vibes from it. Except, actually no, not at all. He Is Coming, from Chronocle and noted good game recognisers Hooded Horse, is actually a kinda sorta classic roguelike RPG. You'll be shuffling over a Commodore 64-tified overworld map, grabbing treasure, bumping foes that move when you do, and turn-based autobattling them.

Got wounded? Maybe have a nice rest at that campfire. Not too long, you slovenly wastrel! You're actually on the clock: the 'he' of the title refers to the menagerie of boss creatures that turn up after a set time. The idea is to use your time wisely to prepare for the big fight, getting stronger without getting whittled down too much.

Publisher Hooded Horse is one of the most consistent names in the tactical and strategy game space right now. The team has helped bring some of the best the genre has to offer to PC in recent years, with Xenonauts 2, Against the Storm, Cataclismo, Heart of the Machine, and of course Manor Lords under its umbrella. Each one of these games is a wildly different experience, and Hooded Horse's latest signing is no different. The publisher is partnering with developer Chronocle for its new game He is Coming, which looks like a brilliant mix of minimalist visuals, roguelikes, and auto battlers. Best of all, it has a demo you can try right now.
